Shadows Makeup Artistry

Carmen was very sweet and professional. She did a wonderful job with my makeup. I have some imperfections with uneven skin tone and I breakout when stressed but she was able to provide flawless coverage with airbrush makeup. She also came a bit earlier and set up in a really great area with awesome lighting for the photographer to take pictures. I like a bit of the glitz and the glam so she gave me a beautiful brown smokey eye with nude lips. Even though I asked to be dolled up it still looked natural. All in all I highly recommend her if you want a great look on a very special day. In addition, I did a lot of research since I'm a bit frugal and she was the best price for an onsite trial and destination make-over. The only reason I gave her 4 of out 5 is because she is pretty busy so it was a little difficult to get the trail date when I needed it for one of my parties. However, she was able to give me a wonderful trial for my grandmother's 80th bday party. I received positive feedback from everyone :) Thank you Carmen!

Carmen did an absolutely amazing job with my make-up! She understood exactly what I wanted and the make-up looked wonderful! I definitely recommend the air brush make-up as it stayed on all night and looked flawless! I would love to work with Carmen again in the future!

Carmen was amazing!!! She did my best friend's wedding. Where she did an amazing job as well. Her assistant Chloe was also great. Planning on using her for my niece's quince next year. Carmen thank you for making me, my family and friends look so beautiful on my wedding day.

Carmen made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! She is truly talented and I would highly recommend her for bridal make up. Thank you Carmen!

Carmen was wonderful! Thank you! :)

Carmen did just an amazing job on my makeup, my bridesmaids, and my mother and mother-in-law's makeup. She is very prompt via email response and truly has a talent. I would 100% use her in the future and highly recommend her services for your next event!

I would highly recommend Carmen to any bride (or individual that has a special event and needs to get their makeup done). She is prompt, professional, and phenomenal at what she does. All my pictures came out wonderful thanks to Carmen!

Carmen did an amazing job on not only my makeup, but the rest of my bridal party as well. She was even able to squeeze in two more people that were unexpected. I received so many compliments on my makeup and how beautiful it was. I highly recommend using the airbrush system that Carmen has. My makeup looked flawless and was so light on my face. Even when I teared up during the ceremony my makeup stayed and did not run! She is the best as what she does.

Carmen was so wonderful. My makeup trial did not turn out exactly like I had in mind. But Carmen was able to listen to my concerns and make adjustments. The wedding makeup turned out phenomenal! I was super pleased!

Carmen is amazing. She made me look like a better version of myself and I am now a firm believer in fake eyelashes!! I would recommend her to anyone needing professional make up services. She also takes great pride in her art and ensures that the customer is very satisfied. I am continuing to receive compliments from my wedding guests about how great my make up looked!

Carmen was the best to work with. She listens to what you want and delivers. The day before my wedding she called me to confirm our appointment and arrived right on time as she stated. My make up was flawless. I received compliments all day. Though the outdoor and crying it was still there without one touchup.

Thank you Carmen, and I would without a doubt use you again and recommend you to all my friends, family and co-workers.

Carmen did an absolutely amazing job on my makeup for my wedding and was great to work with! My pictures were gorgeous and my makeup stayed all night. I would highly recommended Carmen and Shadows Makeup Artistry to any bride who wants to look fabulous on her special day!

Carmen did my makeup for my wedding day. I knew from the moment that we spoke that she would be perfect. She was professional, had the top makeup and equipment, and listened to everything that I wanted. She made me look absolutely stunning on my big day. I am extremely happy with her work and would highly recommend Carmen for anyone looking for a makeup artist. She's the best!

Carmen Martinez did the makeup for my mother, grandmother, 3 bridesmaids, and myself on the day of our wedding. She came in at 9:30 in the morning and worked all day (past 3:30) to make sure we all looked beautiful. Carmen is a very sweet, genuine person and she actually listens to you and how you want to look for your wedding. The makeup lasted all night and my normally greasy face stayed pretty greaseless until the end. Before the wedding, I had nightmares that I would be walking down the aisle with no makeup on… thankfully we found Carmen and we all looked beautiful! Thank you Carmen!

Carmen did a GREAT job on my makeup and all of my bridesmaids and my mother, we had a great time and the makeup lasted through the sweat, tears and laughs all night long :) She did great work, very happy with her services and she gave us a great makeup bag after , so now I can wear my wedding lipstick whenever I want, I will save it forever :) Thank you Carmen!!

Carmen is extremely talented, professional, and was a pleasure to be around while we prepared the morning of the wedding.

At the trial, she willingly and happily understood and executed the smallest changes (personal preferences like when I mentioned I like extending my eyeliner the slightest bit!).

I thought my trial was amazing and was even more impressed with her work on the wedding day- I couldn't have been happier! She made me look exactly like I wanted to!
My makeup lasted and looked great through all the hugs and kisses from guests and dancing all night!


Thank you...

Carmen was amazing!!!! She did beautiful work and made me feel so comfortable. She came to my house on my schedule, did a gorgeous "trial run" for my engagement pictures. I got so many compliments on those pictures. I knew the wedding day make-up would be even better. Her fees were affordable but the service she provided was top notch. I love the airbrush feature. My skin looked so smooth and it stayed on all night. The lashes she put on me made my eyes look amazing. I didn't even feel them after a few minutes
All in all, if you are looking for someone that knows what she's doing and does it with the sweetest heart.....book her!!! Book her now!!!! She was the best!!! One of my favorite vendors!!!! You won't be sorry.

Carmen Shadows Makeup Artistry was wonderful. She was highly communicative with me regarding the type of makeup I wanted and was very flexible to make sure the final product was all that I hoped. I highly recommend her services!

Carmen was a pleasure to work with! All night, my guests commented on how wonderful my make-up looked. Not only did she do a wonderful job, but she lifted a lot of possible stress from me, knowing that I did not have to worry about how I would look.

Thanks Carmen! I will certainly recommend you to all my friends!!!

Carmen was super flexible with our schedule and very prompt to help out with any concern that we had.
My mom (Mother of the Bride) never wore make up in her life, so it really was outsite her comfort zone. Carmen kept puting make up on her in stages and if she did not like it she improved it to her comfort.
Since we were destination wedding, I needed to have everything done in timly manner...and Carmen went above and beyond, to satisfy our demend.
Thank you Carmen for making our day super special!

She was amazing!!! ALL the girls and I loved her!!! My makeup was absolutely flawless and we all loved our touch up bags!!! I would totally hire them again!!!

Carmen did an amazing job, not only for me but also my bridesmaids and my mother. For someone who does not typically wear a lot of makeup, she walked me through the process and gave me a beautiful yet subtle look. I couldn't have chosen a better artist.

Carmen did my makeup for my wedding, as well as makeup for 4 bridesmaids, one junior bridesmaid, my mother, and mother-in-law, and she was fabulous! First, and most importantly, we all loved our makeup. I looked great, if I do say so myself, and one of my bridesmaids commented that her makeup looked better on my wedding day than on her own! Second, she was quick, getting all 8 of us done with time to spare. Third, I thought she charged a very reasonable fee (and she didn't even charge us for the junior bridesmaid's makeup). She was also very responsive to me when I let her know a few weeks before the wedding that I wanted to change my makeup a bit, and she emailed me to let me know that she was going to be away for the few days before my wedding in case I was trying to get in touch with her, which I really appreciated. Finally, she gave me a great goody bag with the MAC lipstick of my choice, blotting papers, and more. It was great. We were all thrilled with Carmen's work and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks, Carmen!

Extremely reliable! The makeup was perfect! Lasted throughout the entire wedding even when i cried at the reception! Definately recommend!!!!!!!

She is everything you are looking for! I first met Carmen at a bridal show, from the very beginning I knew I had found my makeup artist. I work odd hours and tend to do all my vendor contacts via email, Carmen always responded to them quickly and answered all my questions. I even had some unforeseen things happen on the wedding day, like my sister not only being LATE but needed makeup 1/2 hour before photos were being shot, Carmen not only stayed and waited for her, but did what she could in a time crunch and my sister looked flawless. Everyone's makeup stayed on all night. Trust me girls, I was MELTING from dancing and my makeup stayed on all night, I was kinda sad to wipe it off at the end of the night. I got compliments all night long on my makeup, the makeup really makes a difference in the photos, it was comfortable, and very affordable. I would (and have) recommended her to everyone!!

Carmen was absolutely amazing!!! My bridesmaids and my myself looked stunning after she worked her magic with our makeup!! I can't wait to share pictures. I definitely recommend Carmen as a makeup artist for any special event. I know I will be using her again :)

Carmen did an amazing job with the makeup for me and my wedding party.

Carmen was wonderful to work with! She gave me the exact look I was going for! After my first trial, I wasn't sure about my eye shadow, so she gave me another trial just for eyes to make sure she knew exactly what I wanted for my big day!

Carmen was amazing! My makeup was EXACTLY what I wanted!
Thank you!!

Carmen was amazing. She did my makeup for my engagement session and for my wedding day. Both were flawless. The airbrush makeup still looked perfect by the end of the night even after crying. I highly recommend her she really is amazing.

I loved my makeup and she was very responsive to what I asked for! Super nice personality as well and very good at what she does!

Carmen is a truly gifted and talented makeup artist who creates the most beautiful look possible. She is kind and warm and very easy to work with. She does a fantastic job. She made the bride look and feel like a fairy princess and the bride's mother look years younger than her true age! Carmen has the magic that transforms the face to a beautiful masterpiece!

Carmen was a delight to work with from day 1. She was very accommodating especially when it came to scheduling the trial, since my schedule is so hectic. I was very pleased with the trial and I feel like she really listened to what I wanted. On the day of the wedding she got to the hotel on time and started working right away. There was a moment when I started panicking thinking my bridal party wasn't going to be ready on time but Carmen was very calm, did not rush and the end result was just amazing. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful and the makeup lasted all night.
I would definitely work with Carmen again and I highly recommend her!

Carmen thank you so much for being a part of a very special day, for your professionalism and your amazing talent.

Carmen made my day as stress free as ever knowing that she was making me and my mom beautiful for the wedding. Her services were spectacular and we both came out looking wonderful all through out the night even after many many tears flowing and my mom almost passing out. Carmen, Thank you once again for everything! My husband adored the way i looked at the end!!!!!

Carmen did such an amazing job on my makeup. Her patience and kindness made me very relaxed and comforted. Her selection of make-up was a girls dream. She had everything you could think of. The airbrush machine made my skin flawless. I would most definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a professional make up artist that knows her stuff. Thank You Carmen!!!

Carmen did a great job on my wedding makeup and also my mother and sister. Would recommend her anyday!

Carmen was very accommodating to my needs and wants. I reccomend airbrush make-up to all brides. Thank you Shadows Makeup Artistry I loved the way I looked on my wedding day.

Carmen is amazing to work with. Not only is she talented, but she's a wonderful person. She was so helpful in helping me achieve the look that I wanted! I could not have asked for anything else. Not only did she make me look beautiful, all of my bridesmaids and Mom looked wonderful too!

Carmen was absolutely fabulous. She provided makeup services for me, my matron of honor, mother, and grandmother. Her makeup skills are amazing and she is so sweet, professional, and caring. I received compliments all night long on how beautiful the makeup was. The makeup stayed put all night long, even after an outside ceremony and an hour of outdoor photos. I never had to retouch.

Best of all, she took fabulous care of my grandmother, who has Alzheimer's, and helped make her look like the grandmother I remember from before she became ill. That meant so much to me and my family.

I wish i could have my makeup done everyday by Carmen!

Carmen is a pleasure to work with. Carmen's expertise in airbrush makeup helped me relax on my wedding day. My makeup held up all day despite the heat of south Florida. Carmen is friendly and professional. I would recommend Carmen to anyone who wants to look beautiful for their special day.

Carmen was so great! She understood that I didn't wear makeup regularly and created for me a subtle look that photographed beautifully. Carmen is very pleasant and easy to work with. Whenever I had questions she responded quickly. For any future special occasions, I would not hesitate to contact Carmen at Shadows Makeup Artistry. Her prices were very reasonable and her professionalism and abilities exceeded all my expectations.

Carmen and Michele were WONDERFUL!!!! They did make-up and hair for me, my mom, two bridesmaids and flower girl. We all looked beautiful and everything stayed put all day. They showed up right on time and even finished with us earlier than expected, giving us extra time for pictures. Carmen gave me a day of touch up kit which was very helpful. They are also super nice and quick to respond to emails. Very reasonable price for airbrushing and super quality service. =)

Since I have a terribly scared back, I needed an airbrush make-up artist. I contacted Carmen for this purpose. She is very professional and a perfectionist when it comes to eye make-up. However, I really feel like she did not understand that the picture I brought for the trial was what I wanted. I don't wear make-up and I wanted a really natural look. At my trial, I ended up with very very very dark eyes and dark lips, which was not at all what I had asked for. She tried to correct it and let me know that she would do something different for the wedding, which she did. It was a lot lighter, but was still a little bit much for me. It photographed beautifully however and lasted all night without a glitch despite 100 degree weather.
The major problem was my back: it was extremely spotted and sticky. My photographer kept telling her that it looked terrible and had her touch it up several times, to no avail. Now all the pictures are being photoshopped.
Also, Carmen works with a Michele, who does hair. The bun she made stayed all night, but the bobby pins were very visible in many of my pictures, which I can't say is flattering.
The price was reasonable, but not a deal for what I got.

AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!!!! Carmen was absolutely amazing. She is an amazing make up artist and an amazing person. I couldn't have asked for a better make up artist. She was punctual, easy to get a hold of, easy to get along with, and extremely helpful. I'm a very indecisive person but she made it easy for me to choose between a light or dark pallet, colors, etc. I recommend her to anyone needing a make up artist!!! I will definitely use her in the future!

Carmen was amazing to work with. She is very professional and really friendly. I did a makeup trial with her several months before my wedding (because I lived in another state). On the day of my wedding, she brought her notes from my trial, but suggested some different colors. The end result looked so much better than what she did in my trial (and the trial was good too). I was extremely happy with her makeup suggestions, and I got compliments all day long on my wedding day. And, yes, the makeup lasted all day. She did my makeup at 10:30am, my wedding was at 4pm and my day ended at 11pm. I only had to touch up my lipstick. I would definitely work with Carmen again, and I would recommend her to anybody.

Carmes is a great person! Someone you can count on in making you look beautiful, faboulous on your weddding day, like she did with me on the day of my weddding! Carmen's punctuality is great. She is always ready, refreshed and ready to work with you and always has a smile on her face, which I admired a lot! Keep up the good work Carmen! Luv ya, Grety

Carmen was my makeup artist on my wedding day (04/10/2010) as well as most of my girls. When I say she nailed it, I mean I couldn't change one thing about the way she did my makeup on my special day. I felt and looked fantastic and gorgeous! I'll never forget how perfect everything was when I looked in the mirror after my makeup was done! I was speechless! Carmen did my trial as well which is just so helpful. Sometimes you don't know what you really want until after you see it, and Carmen really listens to you and will keep working with you until you are beyond satisfied!

I couldn't be happier that I choose to go with her. My girls loved her as well, one of them even called her after the wedding to say thank you, and to let her know my make up stayed perfect the whole night! She is so sweet and professional and incredibly priced you can't and won't find anyone else like her.

Shadows Makeup Artistry (Carmen) and hairstylist (Michele) both provided a wonderful service. I was extremely happy with the finished makeup and hair on my wedding day. Both were very flexible with the several requested changes that I had after the trial and before the final day. I would definitely recommend both for anyone who needs to look fabulous on any special occasion! Rita

Carmen was a delight to work with. Thanks to her, I can honestly say I looked gorgeous on my wedding day! I've always struggled with acne so it was important to find someone that could do airbrush makeup, without charging an arm and a leg. The trial and wedding day makeup cost $150. She was always on time and very responsive with phone and email. The makeup lasts great and looks amazing in photos. She does makeup on site (Boca Raton & surrounding areas) which made my wedding day much less stressful because I didn't have to worry about traveling to appts. Would definitely recommend!

I have been in many weddings as a bridesmaid, and I finally had my time to be the bride, and from my experience with previous wedding vendors, Carmen had to be one of the best makeup artists I have ever encountered. She was on time to the location, was extremely professional, and did a fabulous job on me and my family. The makeup lasted all through the night, and my wedding photos look fantastic thanks to her. I would definitely recommend using her for any special event/occassion. She is a gem :)

Carmen was incredibly flexible and accommodating. I had concerns about that makeup after the trial that she was quick to address and rectify. I was very pleased with the end result and found her a pleasure to work with.

Shadows makeup artistry does a wonderful professional job. Carmen is great with airbrush makeup and will come directly to you where your wedding is. She will do exactly what you want for your makeup.

Carmen was very professional and very nice as well. She was very understanding and accomodating. Her prices are very good for her services and she also provides a touch up kit for brides which was really great (especially the Shout wipes when we had a little accident). Overall, I am very happy with her work on both my bridal shower and my wedding day. The makeup was beautiful and my eyes looked gorgeous. THANK YOU CARMEN!

Thank you so much, Everyone loved the make up. I had a little issue with my eyelashes coming off, but nothing a little glue could not solve. Awesome! Thank you once again.

Carmen was absolutely awesome! She was very calm and relaxed during the stressful moments before the wedding, which helped me stay calm too. She was always open to suggestions; she really understood what I asked for and I got exactly what I wanted. Michele, the stylist Carmen recommended for my hair, also did an outstanding job!
They went the extra mile for the bridal party and me, and I would highly recommend them.

Carmen was fantastic. She arrived right on time and did a fantastic job on everyone (4 attendants, 2 mothers, & bride). Everyone loved their makeup and it stayed well into the night. She was very open to whatever we wanted and re-touched whatever we felt needed changing. She even touched up my mom's makeup after she was running around in the morning.

Carmen was great !! She knows what she is doing. I had four bridesmaids, myself and my mother all got their makeup and hair done. Does not rush she gives you plenty of time to relax and help you on your big day!! Oh and the makeup lasted all day and night. The next morning I still had it on. If you use her , you will not be dispointed. Awesome AAA++.

I was very happy with my makeup artist, Carmen. She was friendly, professional, and quick. I would recommend her to a friend.

Carmen was amazing and such a pleasure to work with. She was professional and was very flexible to meet my needs. She was prompt and responded either via phone or email to all my questions in a timely manner. I would definetley recommend her services!

Shadows Makeup Artistry was wonderful!! Carmen did my makeup for my wedding along with my 2 sisters who were my maids of honor. We looked beautiful! The best part was it looked amazingly natural. It didn't appear that we had makeup caked all over are face. We achieved the "flawless yet natural look" that magazine and television models have. Best of all, the wedding lasted all night...nearly 12 hours! I highly reccommend Shadows Makeup Artistry for any event that you need to look your absolute best. Pure Perfection!

Carmen was absolutely WONDERFUL to work with. She was timely, friendly, efficient, fun and very very professional. I was impressed with her responsiveness and skill. She did a fantastic job on my makeup- I showed her a picture of what I wanted and she replicated it perfectly. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day because of her! The makeup lasted throughout the day and came out great in the pictures! I was confident because I knew that Carmen knows what she's doing! I highly recommend her to anyone!
Thank you, Carmen!

Carmen is AMAZING! She is very professional and friendly. Carmen came to my hotel room for the trial run and on the wedding day actually beat me to the hotel! My wedding party looked amazing, our makeup was so fabulous. My mother-in-law was nervous as she does not wear a lot of makeup, but Carmen put her at ease and made my mother-in-law look natural, but just a little enhanced. Carmen really listened to what I wanted and made it happen. She did not try to be too pushy on how she would do it, but gave a professional opinon that worked with what I wanted and made me look great. On a scale of 1-10, 10 being the best, Carmen is a 20!! Highly recommended!

Carmen was amazing. She did a beautiful job and my make-up lasted all day. She is very professional and I loved the way my make-up looked.

Carmen was very accommodating. She made sure that the bride was happy with her makeup!

Carmen from Shadows Makeup Artistry was beyond accomodating and talented. She went out of her way to make sure we were happy with our final look and we were! Our make-up lasted all day and even through the evening while we danced in the rain. I would highly recommend Carmen/Shadows Makeup Artistry.

Carmen was absolutely wonderful to work with and such a great person!! She was so accommodating throughout the process! My make-up was gorgeous and I can't thank her enough for all of her help and hard work!

Carmen is absolutely wonderful, talented, kind, easy to work with and a joy to be around. I am the mother of the bride and I couldn't ask for a nicer, more relaxing experience than having Carmen apply my make-up. She did exactly what I wanted and I received many, many compliments. Carmen is the BEST and I highly recommend her!

We had our makeup down by Shadows, and they were incredible! I was very happy with how my makeup turned out... Fresh yet vibrant! And, the best part, it stayed fresh all night long, even when I sweated!

Caremen Martinez is an excellent make-up artist. She did my make-up and my mother's make-up for a black tie function and we looked great! I showed her the color of my gown and she created a beautiful look for me. The make-up lasted throughout the evening and looked excellent in pictures.

Carmen was professional, easy to work with and did a great job. I would recommend her in a heart beat.

It was a pleasure working with Carmen. She was kind, caring and wouldn't stop until I was fully satisfied with my makeup. I would definately recommend her to anyone that I know. Thanks again.

I have worked with Carmen on numerous weddings. She is very professional and is always making sure the brides are satisfied and happy with their results. I really enjoy working with her and look forward to doing more weddings with her in the future. Carmen from Shadows Makeup Artistry is a freelance, multi-media and airbrush certified makeup artist.

I have worked with Carmen numerous times and her work speaks for itself. She is extremely talented in creating the exact look our brides are going for. Her personality and professional attitude allows brides to relax and enjoy the morning of their wedding while she works her magic. She is very particular and precise when it comes to makeup applications and I would recommend her to everyone!

I had the pleasure of working with Carmen recently and can't wait until we work together again. She is an extremely talented make up artist. Our bride was beautiful and flawless all day and she looked natural at the same time. Carmen has a gifted eye for enhancing the existing beauty in someone. I highly recommend her!

Carmen is a talented and wonderful makeup artist. She does a wonderful job and knows how to apply makeup that will photograph well. As a photographer I can honestly say that not all makeup artists know the best application for photography. With Carmen, you will have beautiful, flawless makeup which will make all the difference on your wedding day and in your photographs. I highly recommend her...as a matter of fact, I recommend her to all my brides!

Carmen with Shadows Makeup Artistry is not content until you look flawless and is very flexible with brides schedules. The best thing is how she does the trial a few weeks before the wedding and ensures the bride will be pleased with all the colors chosen. The air brush make-up is truly one of a kind. Brides come out looking like the belle of the ball that they deserve to be. If you are looking for someone who will pour her heart into your appearance, then this is who you need to book for make-up.
