My name is Karen and I am a makeup artist based in Southern Maryland. I hold a license from the Maryland State Board of Cosmetologists as a Makeup Artist, and I have received formal training from the Yvonne de Vilar Aesthetic School, The Esthetic Institute, and the Marlene Kurland Makeup Artist Academy. In addition to my formal training, I constantly supplement my skills through books, seminars, and workshops.
I will do TFP/TFCD AT MY DISCRETION ONLY decided on a case by case basis and a kit fee will be charged. If you have some great ideas for a project I would love to hear them! Just send me a message with shoot details.
Best wishes to all of you in pursuing your dreams!

Hey!!
How are you? I was wondering if you'd like to be the MUA for a shoot on Sunday. Not sure yet how many models but I can let you know if your up for it. The theme is 80's and I think you would really enjoy going a lil crazy with the makeup!
Talk to you soon!!

Hey Karen, I did it again! I woke up this morning realizing that I failed to credit you for the wonderful work that you did on the pictures. Whoever hates me will because of my absent-mindedness. Situation corrected.
