Makeup by MasKara Share on Social Media

I always feel at ease when clients tell me they've booked with Kara... knowing that being #Karafied is something truly special! Not only have I had many of my girls work with Kara for competitions and photo shoots, my current pageant headshots look as good as they do because of her wizardry with hair and makeup.

Kara and her team are leaders of the industry. They know exactly how to achieve the winning look for all ages and styles of pageantry. They are patient, kind, and fun to work with. They are true professionals in their field and know what it takes to win!

I have not personally had the honor of being #Karafied but I have seen thousand of girls and women that were. I am counting down the days until i have my opportunity to be #Karafied. She is truly amazing!!!

Kara is amazing....in so many ways. Of course she is good at what she does and brings on a strong team to make it happen in such a phenomenal way but the most important thing to me is that every time my girls are in her hands they walk away with confidence to do what they need to do. Kara doesn't just make them look beautiful. She makes them look and feel "put together" and most of all loved and cared for. Pageantry for us isn't just about the performance and crown...its about doing something we love with people we love and Kara is a huge part of our family that makes this possible. <3

I worked with Kara for the first time this past weekend and it was amazing! She was on task the entire time and very efficient. Her team is incredible and I couldn’t have asked for anything better! I ended up winning the title and I owe all my thanks to her!

Kara did an amazing job on my hair for NAM states this year. She was easy to work with and I can't wait to use her again.

First off Kara is simply amazing! Such a wonderful human being. She always makes you feel confident and comfortable which I admire. She is very professional- her emails are answered in a timely matter which I appreciate. Not to mention she is incredibly smart and this is backed up with her incredible resume. If you ever need to get your hair or makeup done for any event I highly recommend Kara!

To say that Kara Knudsen and her team is incredible is an understatement. She understands her art so well that I have complete faith every time she has worked on me that she will highlight my best features which of course always made me feel confident that I look my best when I get on that competition stage. I definitely attribute her artistry during the whole week of International Pageants when I won Miss Teen International in 2017!

Kara Knudsen and her team are beyond amazing!! I’ve been working with Kara for 2 years now, and what an angel she is! Everytime I go to compete with her work I feel most confident!!! Not only are her and her team beyond talented and quick, but everytime I leave her room I’ve made so many friendships and have had the time of my life those couple of hours when I’m glammed by the best of the best!

Kara and her team are amazing! She is able to see exactly how to make the girls feel and look their best. She knows exactly what to say to keep the girls feeling confident and ready to rock the stage!

Kara has a great eye for H&M. My daughter has been receiving services from her for the last couple of years. She helps you choice great styles that will look age appropriate for you child. She is amazing at what she does and praises GOD for her success. She is so thankful for where she has began and where she is going.

Kara is the best hair and makeup artist! She always makes me look amazing for my competitions. Kara is a very sweet person and I enjoy working with her every time. I love getting #karafied!!!!

Best hair and makeup artist around. She is so good at what she does woth a heart of gold. She helped my daughter get to the next level as a national queen.

Kara and her team are truly a blessing to the pageant world. Not only is she highly skilled in her profession, she takes the time and energy to know her clients and demonstrates her care for them in all she does. During busy pageant schedules, her hair and make-up suites serve their purpose while also providing a place where a contestant and their families can go to re-energize in an atmosphere of loving support.

Kara is one of the most dedicated people I have ever met ! Proud to call her a dear friend She continues to Pour her heart and soul into everything she sets her mind on . True talented gifted artist ! She is the girl that will go the extra mile to make sure you are looking and feeling your version of perfection ??

Kara has been the SWEETEST and most incredible makeup artist I have ever worked with. She not only spends quality time with each woman that goes through her doors, but she boosts the confidence of young ladies just by her words and character. This past pageant, I had a particularly worrisome event happen and I went to Kara. Even though she was busy with a million girls, she reminded me why I mattered, how I was special, and that I could do whatever I set my mind to. I walked out of her doors feeling not just great on the outside, but truly amazing in the inside. That is the power of a truly incredible makeup artist - someone who can make someone believe in themselves and their dreams from the inside out. Kara is the BEST!

Kara is more than a makeup artist, she is a role model to the women she works with. While she helps you feel confident from the outside, she is extremely inspiring and motivating to make you feel just as confident on the inside. Kara helped me win numerous pageants when I came from zero experience and I could never thank her enough for the life skills she taught me as a pageant coach. Now, it has been years since my last pageant, but Kara's wisdom is something that stays with me to this day. She has s pent time with me to help me succeed in my career so I can perform at the best of my ability on a daily basis. I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to meet Kara and to have her knowledge last with me throughout my career.

Not only is Kàra a talented artist , she’s one of the sweetest people I know! She’s kind and generous to everyone. We need more artist like her in our industry!

Kara is amazing! We love her professionalism and dedication to all of the young ladies that come through her door. My daughter has been using her for a few years now and once you've been "Karafied by Team Maskara", there is no one else.

There aren’t enough fantastic words for this woman!!! She is so amazing at what she does!! My daughter always feels so confident after working with Kara!! She makes sure everyone walks out the door looking better then they could’ve imagined!! I can’t imagine my daughter not having Kara and her amaizing team bye our side during any phase of competition!!

Kara is an incredible hair and make up artist. She creates an atmosphere where people feel confident, important and beautiful. I met Kara a few years ago through pageantry, and this last year she did my hair and make up for my wedding. Whenever you get the chance to sit in her chair, don’t miss the opportunity!
