Carolyn Martino
Lead Artist
Carolyn's first makeup related memory was in 1997. She got her allowance and went straight to the drug store to buy lipstick. It was bright orange. Her older sister took it away immediately, telling her it was ugly. Carolyn saw her wearing it a few weeks later. In the last two decades, Carolyn's taste have definitely changed. (And her sister's, thanks to her.) She works mostly in clean beauty and bridal, however Carolyn always jumps at the chance to be fun and creative as well!
Carolyn is a Licensed Esthetician in NY, Connecticut, and Florida as well as a Licensed Esthetics Instructor in NY. Her passion for beauty is matched only by her passion for continuing education.

Karina Moreno
Lead Artist
Karina has been playing with makeup since she was 15 years old and realized how much she loved it early on. As the years went by all she wanted to do was work for MAC cosmetics, and eventually her dream came true. After 5 years of working there with Essie, she decided to focus on freelancing. The universe had different plans when she got pregnant with her daughter and 2 years later with her son. Freelance was put on hold but now she's finally getting back in the groove to do what she loves!

Courtney Evans
Makeup Assistant
Courtney has professionally been doing makeup since 2017 after getting her cosmetology license and her certification in makeup at Make-up Designory in NYC. Courtney's passion for makeup started at a young age when she watched her brother and other sick kids battle with cancer. When her brother was finally cured, she saw how hard it was for him to stop looking at the aftermath of being so sick and doing treatments for so long. Those moments stuck to her heart and brain like glue. So she promised herself to help people see the beauty in themselves no matter the situation! Makeup has given Courtney the gift to make people happy, and that is all she ever wants to do.
