Boston Makeup Artist Carla Balzano, Owner + Founder of Creative Contour By Carla, LLC., believes every beauty should love makeup as much as she does! She believes in doing so by helping each beauty find a great makeup look, whether they sit in her makeup chair, or she is teaching them on stage! Carla stumbled upon speaking on stage in 2022, when she taught her first live makeup demonstration at a women's retreat on Cape Cod, MA. Fast forward to today, she has been called on stage again! Carla teaches live makeup demonstrations at various events. She believes that a live makeup demonstration is a unique experience for attendees, keeping them engaged and interested.
Makeup, beauty, finding your confidence, building self esteem

Carla was a guest speaker at Stay Beautiful MedSpa's Fall Into Beauty Event. During the event, Carla instructed attendees how to properly match their skintone, and then how to find the proper colors of makeup they should wear. Attendees were floored with the new techniques they learned and left with confidence, knowing they can properly match their skintone!
Main Takeaways:
1. Knowing the proper undertone and depth of your skin will help you find complimentary makeup products that always look good. (During the demonstration, the model had blue-green eyes, so makeup products with a red-orange undertone compliment them best.)
2. This knowledge helps you wear makeup with confidence every single time!
