So grateful to have found Caro Benitez! I spent two hours with Caro for a make up lesson. My son is getting married and needed to learn how to do my own makeup. She was so patient and I learned so much. Caro applied makeup to 1/2 my face and then I practiced on the other side. We moved from a "Run to Costco"…
Caro has done my makeup a couple times. She always helps me feel like the prettiest version of myself! Best makeup artist 🩷
I was searching for a makeup artist who could teach me how to create my own everyday look and then elevate it for a night out or special occasion—and Caro exceeded every expectation.

Caro is AMAZING and just the sweetest! Originally we only had two people booked to get their makeup done, but FIVE people ended up getting it done because everyone was just so impressed with her work. And she was completely accommodating. The whole bridal party (and moms!) loved her!
I had an exceptional experience with Caro! The makeup turned out beautifully, and she worked so quickly without compromising quality. I’m especially grateful she was able to book me in at such short notice — literally the next day! Highly recommend her services.

You truly can’t go wrong with Caro! She was so responsive, kind, and professional from the very beginning.

I have always had extremely sensitive skin, to the point where even most soaps bother me, but Caro checked all of the ingredients with me and was sure to use gentle products. The difference of my skin in just a few days has been amazing! I will be using her services again and recommend her to everyone as she really listens to concerns and cares!
So lovely to work with and couldn’t be nicer - she came to my house (which was huge!) to do makeup for our newborn photos and made me feel so put together and like myself. Couldn’t have asked for more!
Caro was recommended to me by another makeup artist for my bridal shower makeup and I couldn’t have been happier! She was extremely personable, the studio was clean and inviting, and she listened to my requests about what I wanted for my makeup. She even gave me a little to go bag with extra lip gloss and powder in…

Caro did an amazing job with my makeup, as well as my bridal party on the day of my wedding! She was thorough, and made sure I got exactly what I wanted.

My fiancé and I are eloping in two months, and I will be doing my own hair and makeup…the hair part is fine, but I have minimal experience with makeup in general, much less BRIDAL MAKEUP.
