  Karuna was a joy to work with. My daughter clicked with her at the very 1st zoom call. Karuna immediately understood the looks my daughter was wanting. She even advised her on styling each look. I have had my makeup done on innumerable occasions, and usually have to correct a thing or two. She did my makeup for 3 events, not once did I find any faults (and I am a fault finder!) Her love for her craft, her expertise, and her professionalism all combine together to form the perfect package. My daughter and I really bonded with her. I would hire her again without question. Thank you Karuna for making my daughter so beautiful and happy on the most important event of her life.

  KC is the way to go!

  Karuna Chani is a miracle worker! She made me feel like an absolute princess during my wedding weekend! Karuna and Krish were so fun to work with, even at 3:30 AM when we had to start getting ready! They had me cracking up bright and early as though I was getting ready with my girlfriends! They have so much experience and were awesome about giving suggestions and tailoring my hair and makeup to my outfits, accessories, etc! My hair and makeup were even better than I could have imagined, and KC is masterful at still making you look like an elevated version of yourself (and not fake and overdone)! Our photos are absolutely stunning thanks to KC and Krish! I would recommend them to anyone!!

  Bridal Look of my Wildest Dreams!

  Karuna did my and my mom's makeup for my wedding a couple of weeks ago. I had total faith in Karuna since she has done my makeup in the past, but she blew even my wildest expectations out of the water. I LOVED my look, it was exactly what I wanted but even more than that. It was everything I didn't know I needed and I got so many compliments all night long. Karuna elevated my look in a way only she can. My mom was a little nervous to get her makeup done since she never does, and she looked gorgeous. She was so happy with her look and felt so beautiful all night. You really can't get any better than Karuna for your wedding. I'm so thrilled with my decision and now I just need the occasions to keep coming so I can keep going to Karuna for my looks!

  Dream Wedding Make Up Experience

  My wedding seems like yesterday, and I think it will forever feel so palpable. The feeling of elation mixed with bliss, confidence, and pure joy persists even now, and I have Karuna Chani and her talented team to thank for it. She made me feel like the most important person in the world with her precise eye for details, soft yet strong touch, and ability to pull out my personality and who I am on the canvas that is the human face. On top of all of this, she and her team made every woman near and dear to me, my sisters and mom, feel exactly the same way. Everyone was glowing from the inside because of the experience Karuna and the team gifted us from the outside.
  
  I vividly remember my mom, who is somewhat soft-spoken and shy, open up to Karuna about her fall and the way is bruised her face. With sensitivity, she made her feel so comfortable and delicately applied the make up to her tender face so she was pain-free. Each and every one of us felt at home in the team’s hands because they are so professional, positive, and fun. I also remember over 400 people waiting for me downstairs along with trigger-happy photographers and the team reduced the stress with their jokes, smiles, and get-it-down attitude. If I could turn back time and have the wedding all over again, I would pick Karuna in a heartbeat. In fact, the incredible photos just arrived, and seeing my face, my loved ones’ faces, and the light in our eyes, we are able to relive that night. I recommend Karuna to all my friends and hope our paths cross again!

  Must book!

  Where to even begin with this review... All I can say is that hiring KC Makeup will assure you that there is literally one less thing to worry about during your wedding weekend!
  First off, Karuna is very responsive and clear in all her communication. This was absolutely refreshing, as she wasn't a vendor that I ever had to chase after to get a response; instead, if there was anything that needed to be clarified, she made the effort to directly communicate with me through email or phone. Also as someone who planned my wedding without a planner, it was nice having a clear explanation of services and fees- I had absolutely no surprises before, during, or even after my wedding. Also, since the location of my wedding was non-traditional (barn wedding in the Catskills), Karuna was one of the few NYC vendors that was open to the logistical challenge and very accommodating throughout any changes.
  Now, for the actual services...I don't think I can even explain in words how amazing I felt my entire weekend. Karuna and Krish were the dream team that attended to me, my MOH, and mom during the wedding weekend. As someone who is artistic and into makeup myself, I knew I wanted a vendor who shared my passion for creativity. These women are not just wedding hair and make up artists, they are TRUE ARTISTS and PERFECTIONISTS. They are up to date with trends, styles, and know what works best for every skin tone/hair type/face shape/ etc. They knew I wanted non-traditional and unique looks for all my events, and I got just that! I even trusted them with my reception look without a trial, which was a little out of my comfort zone, and boy am I glad I did- I looked and felt like a movie star! The best part was that this team was not just focused on hair/makeup. They completely styled me head to toe, using their experience about colors, fabrics, flowers, and studying details of my wedding to help me make final decisions about my draping, jewelry, etc. I just want everyone to note that this does not happen without YEARS of experience, education, and training- there is a reason these women are at the TOP of the industry!
  Now, to top it all off was their personalities. I think the most relaxed parts of my weekend were when I was getting ready, and it is all due to Karuna & Krish. It truly felt like I was having my very own girlfriends helping me get ready for my wedding. They were extremely kind, honest, hilarious, and always had my best interest in mind (especially when I was getting overwhelmed at times). They went above and beyond multiple times, including making sure I was eating/drinking and that I didn't leave the room with ashy elbows (lol!). Karuna and Krish truly felt like my fairy godmothers, and I can't imagine having had anyone else during this important time in my life!

  Karuna, best makeup

  Karuna visited Seville as a make-up artist for a wedding in Spain and hired me for a photo shoot. She is an incredibly close and friendly woman. I could see what a great professional she is in just a few hours.
  
  During the photo shoot she told me how important her work is and the great effort she makes to make her clients look beautiful on their wedding day.
  Meeting Karuna has been one of my most rewarding things this year.
  I recommend 100% your work and professionalism.

  Best in the biz!

  Karuna Chani is a master at her craft and it is evident in all of her work. Making someone up is a talent, but to be able to translate that talent into a teachable methodology is a skill set that only a few have, and even fewer can execute.
  During my one-on-one consultation, Karuna took her time demonstrating her technique, patiently repeated the lesson, and really made sure that I was absorbing what she was telling me. She went through every single piece of my existing makeup collection, including brushes/applicators, and gave me feedback about all the products that worked, and why she didn’t recommend those that wouldn’t. I'm glad that she was able to take the same products I use in my everyday routine to create a more polished and professional look, as well as translate them into a glam night look. The timing couldn’t be better with the holidays coming up! I can’t wait to practice everything she taught me, and incorporate the ‘Karuna Tap’ (as I like to call it) into my routine.
  The icing on the cake? She is so sweet & real. I loved her sense of humor and ability to keep things 100 with me about the whole appointment. I can’t thank her enough, and hope to work with her again in the near future!

  Phenomenal!

  I have truly never felt as beautiful as I did that day. All our family and friends continue to rave about how well done our hair, makeup, and dressing were done. Every time I look at the pictures, I tell my husband that I don't think I will ever look as beautiful as I did that day. I felt every part of my being glow from inside to out. I'm not normally the most confident person in my skin and I'm sure you may have felt that from me the morning of, but you both put me at ease with your incredible skill sets and just overall warm personalities. You're both extremely professional about your work but definitely can make those morning jitters turn into belly laughs. I appreciate the time and effort you put into not only prepping for the events themselves but in helping guide me with tips that I can use in the future as well for healthier skin and hair.
  
  This day wasn't just about me, it was about all the people who made me who I am, and to see my mom in her element was really amazing. She never gets to take the time to be pampered and dolled up so it was nice to see her enjoy every moment. You were so amazing to the both of us I can't put into words how happy we are to have worked with such incredible women. My mom is already planning for when my brother gets married to work with you again!
  
  I am extremely grateful I am to have had the opportunity to work with you both. I now have memories I will cherish for a lifetime! The childhood dork inside me dreaming of that beautiful wedding with the love of her life can't thank you enough for making her feel so radiant. You both are a huge part of making that dream come true! Thank you so much!

  Karuna is a perfectionist. Her work is not only gorgeous but current with beauty trends. As a bride, I had my full trust in her. I have to say that she did not disappoint. I still look back at my wedding photos and gasp! I never looked and felt more beautiful and true to myself. She didn't change my look- she enhanced it. That is what every bride can hope for. I would love to work with Karuna again in the future (and have no doubt that I will). Thank you Karuna for your talents. You're a true artist.

  Awaiting to sit in the glam chair for my wedding events was something I was looking forward to for more than a year and a half. Being a KC-Bride was a whole other experience - I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life. Working with you two over the past week has allowed me to stare in the mirror a few seconds longer and appreciate the magnificently detailed work of art you both provided to your blank canvas. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. It was an honor working together. My recommendations of you will be given to every one of my friends and family. I hope you feel proud in making this bride truly and indefinitely, FLAWLESS.
  
  Thank you!

  Karuna and her team were absolutely amazing!!! They listened and took everything I had wanted for my big day into consideration. Not only did I love the way I looked, Karuna and her team were super professional every step of the way. When I finally received all my wedding pictures it was easy to see that I felt beautiful. I would not change a thing! Their service was worth every penny and I would highly recommend them for any occasion.

  Booking vendors for your wedding is always tough, there are so many options, but the hardest vendor of all time to book is your makeup artist. You literally have to trust someone you don't really know with your face which on the day of your wedding all eyes will be on. Hands down there is no better person to trust with your face than Karuna, she knows exactly what she's doing. Marrying into a more conservative family some brides are afraid that their make up artist with make them look like an entirely different person on their wedding day, and this was one of my fears. Karuna literally enhanced my features, I looked like an upgraded version of me! All throughout my event I received endless compliments on how I looked, (and not the standard "wow you look beautilful" comments but the seriously blown away "YOU LOOK AHMAZING! WHO DID YOUR MAKEUP! I NEED TO KNOW" comments) I heard a lot of "I wish I had your make up artist for my wedding" comments which just confirmed even more that I had the best of the best, Karuna is the best of the best. She was so easy to work with and adjusted to my hesitations, and didn't stop until I was perfection. I had nothing to worry about, she was on time, prepared and as professional as a vendor can get. Would I recommend Karuna? Ladies i've made it my mission to recommend Karuna to brides to be that I meet, because everyone deserves to feel the way Karuna made me feel on my special day, like absolute royalty.

  Booking vendors for your wedding is always tough, there are so many options, but the hardest vendor of all time to book is your makeup artist. You literally have to trust someone you don't really know with your face which on the day of your wedding all eyes will be on. Hands down there is no better person to trust with your face than Karuna, she knows exactly what she's doing. Marrying into a more conservative family some brides are afraid that their make up artist with make them look like an entirely different person on their wedding day, and this was one of my fears.

  Karuna Chani is an amazing artist and can transform people with makeup. She's meticulous, patient, and quiet. She and Teresa worked together for my engagement shoot, and also one pre wedding trial, and it was great how nicely they understood my vision. it was a pleasure to work with both Karuna and Teresa and I would recommend them without hesitation.

  Karuna was literally the first vendor I called after booking my venue. I knew that there was no one else that would nail the look that I was going for. Karuna truly is an artist and professional, not to mention SO much fun to work with. She worked so well with my mom and mother-in-law - they were both so comfortable during the process of getting ready and absolutely loved their looks afterwards. (This is huge considering every time my MIL has gotten her hair and makeup done she immediately showered because she hated how she looked.) Despite having to be up at 4 am on my wedding day I was smiling from ear to ear throughout the whole process. About 15 of my girlfriends joined me while I was getting ready for the reception and we all did a champagne toast together with Karuna and Chris (the hair artist). I truly could not be happier with how I looked and am so happy to have worked with a true artist whom I call a friend now!

  Karuna & KC makeup are a team of professionals if I ever met some. They were a dream to work with. Thoughout the process, from booking to trial to actual wedding day - they did a great job staying in touch, communicating clearly, and being professional. And on top of all that, they made me look stunning. We got lucky with all of our vendors - but these gals really blew us away. I 100% urge you to book early and books KC Makeup for your wedding or special event, you won't regret it.

  Karuna and her team was nothing but perfect. Karuna listened to my thoughts and concerns and knew exactly what I wanted with my bridezilla explanations! Lol. I had reached out to Karuna pretty last minute and She was accommodating with my schedule as she already had appts the day of my reception. She made it work and managed to drive up to CT to in time to make me look flawless! I had several events for my wedding but the day I got ready with Karuna ( which was also my last event), was the day I and everyone else thought I looked the best. I would highly recommend Karuna and her team. She and her team are highly professionally and they'll give honest opinions and make sure that you look your absolute best for your day. I'll definitely be going back to her soon!

  Karuna did a makeover for me and taught me how to apply makeup. She understood that i prefer a more natural look but definitely need to enhance it a little for evening. She was very patient and great at showing me how to use the brushes to achieve the look i wanted. She would show me on one side of my face and then have me do the other side to make sure i understood how to achieve the look i wanted. She also showed me different ways to do my makeup ...smokey eyes, dramatic eyeliner etc.
  I feel much more confident and probably book another session now to see what else she can teach me.

  Karuna and Cristina are undoubtedly two of the most skilled and modern artists in the industry, but the myriad reasons I am so happy to have had them style me for my wedding extend way beyond that. I hired to the team to do my hair and makeup for all three of my wedding events in December of 2014. Each of the looks we created together, emphasis on together, was representative of my style. The KC team is more than adept at creating a stunning look for you with absolutely no input, but their goal is to make you look how you want to look. Whether that means a slightly glammed up version of your regular look or a complete and unrecognizable transformation, this team has the skills and the desire to achieve that. Along the way to meeting my beauty ideal, both Karuna and Cristina were straightforward with me about the practicality, in comfort and look, of what I wanted to achieve. This was absolutely paramount to me. After all, what good is a killer look if it’s made for a magazine cover and not for three hours of dancing at your reception? It took only my first look to trust their input implicitly. Beyond making me look more beautiful than I have ever looked (a direct quote from my mother), Karuna and Cristina were professional, precise, timely, and an absolute delight to be around. I spent more time with them that weekend than anyone else and the lightness and ease with which were able to spend our time together was just plain fun and relaxing. Your wedding is the convergence of so many moving parts, but ultimately is just about how you feel. I never imagined looking as amazing on the outside as I felt on the inside, but Karuna and Cristina did that for me. The KC team will always be my first choice.

  Being in the wedding industry my self, you see a lot of things happen at once and every time we had the opportunity to work together, Karuna and team always showed up on time, always did a phenomenal job on the bride and made the process so much smoother for the bride and her family.
  
  There's a reason why Karuna has amazingly strong reviews. She's an artist. She is extremely skilled at makeup and can achieve any look you want. She's honest and will give you guidance along the way.
  As much as I'd like to keep her my little secret, everyone deserves to look stunningly beautiful on their special day and there is no better person than Karuna to help complement that inner glow that appears on your wedding day. She will travel to your location and has enough people on her staff to take care of large parties.
  
  I recently Hired Karuna and her team for a corporate event that I was attending. She did a beautiful job! I was so please with how everything came out and how professional she was. She listened to all of my requests and made sure I was happy with what she was doing. I received so many compliments on my hair. The one that summed it up for me was, "your hair and makeup is amazing, but you still look like you." That's pretty much exactly what I was going for. Thank you Karuna and her lovely team! :)

  I'm an Performing Artist and had to go to a major red carpet event. In my line of work, I've worked with some of the best. I'd heard about KC Make-Up and when I saw her work in print and on her website, I was 100% certain that she was someone I wanted to work with. She and her team exceeded my expectations! I looked stunning!!! Also, the make up held up the entire day into night. KC and her team were so professional and knowledgable. Her techniques and style are amazing. Thank you KC Make-Up!

  KC Makeup was a very special part of my sister's Sweet 16. Karuna was attentive, professional and a delight to work with. She transformed my sister, mother and I into glamorous women. Christina's hairstyling added to our look and enhanced our outfits. I would recommend Karuna and Christina for any event, because they make any woman feel like a million bucks.

  Karuna was a delight to work with! Professional and up to date with the trends of fashion and makeup. She gave me a very gracious and sophisticated look that other artists miss out on! A five star work. Highly recommend her.
