Carmen is a gifted and skillful makeup artist and aesthetician. As an artist she is aware of current trends in the industry yet keeps each client’s lifestyle, skin concern and interests in mind as products and colors are selected. 

As an aesthetitian, she analyzes each client’s skin and provides a facial aimed directly to meet specific needs or concerns. Carmen’s goal is to discover the real beauty inside and outside of each client.

She has been doing my makeup since I was 18 years old and is responsible for my skin, which I get compliments on everywhere I go. She is so talented at her craft and she loves what she does. I will follow her advice until the end of time. I’m so thankful I found her so many years ago.

Aside from being extremely talented at what she does, she is genuine and kind and I’m so thankful she is my friend!

Carmen has skillfully done my skincare and makeup for 25 years. From full glam red carpet events to professional head shots, from black tie galas to quick do it yourself looks, Carmen has been the person in town that somehow always stays current.

There is a gift someone has that allows you to leave their chair totally made up yet totally feeling like yourself and Carmen has it. Her gifted artistic hand coupled with her humble and cheerful presence leaves you not only looking more beautiful but also feeling it, and that’s what keeps us all coming back over and over again.

When you hire Carmen, you get an expert skincare and makeup professional. She created the perfect simple everyday look for me and then showed me how to enhance it for a more sophisticated evening look. She always has the latest colors and techniques. And prior to my wedding several years back, I was breaking out around my chin. She got me started on a light skin cleansing routine that quickly fixed the issue. She is my forever go to for all my skincare and cosmetic needs.

I have followed Carmen for the last 20 years! Because of her welcoming personality - I always feel like I am her most important client. I have complete trust in her skincare advice and her color and makeup expertise. Carmen is without a doubt the top beauty and skin care expert in Nashville. 

I have worked with Carmen for a very long time on skincare, a skincare routine, and makeup recommendations. I met Carmen in 2006 at Nashville store. She was doing my makeup for an event. She has always kept me abreast of all the new products and hot new items available for skincare, as well as the fun makeup trends.

I had to move away from the Nashville area and Carmen still stays in touch with me with referrals of the hottest new trends and makeup and skincare! Carmen mails me all my necessities and fun items now to Texas. She knows the beauty industry inside and out, with all the greatest high-quality referrals of skincare and makeup! I’ve loved working with Carmen and will continue to do so!

Carmen is the most talented makeup artist. She doesn’t skip a single detail. From asking you to send a picture of what you are wearing + the jewelry you plan to wear before you get there. She is thinking about the products to complete your look. Even making sure you have the right skin prep for the face to the body so it glows when you leave too. There is no one like her 10/10. She always makes me look like me, but just better. She enhances your natural beauty and takes her time. I always feel so beautiful and confident when she does my makeup.

I have known Carmen for 25 years. She’s done my makeup for several important occasions throughout my life and especially my wedding day! Carmen has helped me navigate my skin from the introduction of make up to maintaining bright, healthy skin as I’ve matured. Not only does Carmen help me look my best as far as my outward appearance, but she also makes me feel beautiful on the inside. It is such a joy to work with Carmen!!

I am from Colorado and I met Carmen when my son attended Vanderbilt. Through the years she has given me excellent advice on new products and given me many makeup ideas. I have not been back to Nashville but all of my best beauty advice still comes from my personal advisor, Carmen! 

She is the utmost professional with years of experience in the industry and is always spot on with her recommendations and techniques. She understands my individual needs and wishes and always delivers flawless and natural results. She was my makeup artist at my out of town wedding 8 years ago and I certainly will be seeking her expertise for years to come!

I met Carmen nearly 15 years ago while trying to find the best skincare and makeup products. I knew instantly Carmen’s knowledge of products was extensive and she was talented in finding the perfect ones for me. I moved away ten years ago but Carmen has continued to be my resource for my skincare and makeup. I can text Carmen and she kindly responds and ships me everything I need and still gives me tips and suggestions. I can’t thank her enough for all of her recommendations over the years. Without hesitation I highly recommend her!!

I met Carmen 24 years ago when she was a Regional Artist for Laura Mercier, so I have known her a long, long time! We reconnected when I started working in the beauty industry later on in life for a fun partime job & she took me under her wing. Me, having no specific skincare or beauty background I had the best teacher you could imagine! Carmen understands the science behind her products. She knows what you need based off of examining your skin. She is not number one based off of dumb luck. It is because customers trust her knowledge and her artistry year after year. With her own money she has bought competitor products as well as drugstore products. She loves to know what is current and trending. There is no one I know who is more knowledgeable in skincare and beauty like Carmen is. Look at her skin and tell me I’m wrong. The proof is in the pudding. Carmen is the real deal and is the secret beauty guru of Nashville.

Carmen led me to become aware of and proactive with using good products that are for aging skin. Meeting her at the age of 33 and now being 38 and having two children, her advice and guidance has certainly made a difference in the way my skin looks and also about how I feel in my own skin. I trust her with introducing me to quality products, that suit my needs for now and into the future.
