Karlene at Estheticamd Book Karlene during Estheticamd’s office hours or for an on-location or in-home sesh and get glam for the eve. The makeup maven will show up, toting her “makeup stash” and start by asking you what you’ll be wearing. She can work with any desired look- from soft peony shades (perfect for prom-goers and brides), to smoldering eyes to the perfect bold pout. And she’s even created her own makeup line complete with a swoon-worthy berry lip gloss for fall and a waterproof mascara we could swear gave our lashes an extra 1/4 of an inch. Notable Client: Erika Liles (Makeup By Karlene, 201-816-8106, $65 at Estheticamd, on location $85 and up, lash extensions $20 additional)

Dstyle Makeup Douglas Otero started off his career as a performer and then segued into makeup. And while he’s an expert in dramatic costume looks (he’s already booked solid for Halloween), we’re really obsessed with his more natural looks, which are soft and pretty with just a hint of sparkle. Doug also peddles his own makeup line and does amazing lash extensions, two more weapons he uses to make you stand out in the crowd. Notable Client: Amber Sabathia (Dstyle Makeup, starting at $150, works at Kink Salon in Englewood and on location, contact form here.)

Makeup by Ms.Priscilla If you’re as obsessed with contouring as we are, then you’ll want to solicit the services of RHONJ makeup darling Priscilla Distasio.  The former model knows how to soften and highlight and will create a bold look that will make you think you’ve stepped right out of a People mag spread. So if you are able to snag a hard-to-book appointment with the babe, be prepared for va-va-voom lashes, statement brows and a post-sesh Instagram collage (complete with music and 360 degree views) when it’s all said and done. Notable Client: Teresa Guidice (Makeup by Ms. Priscilla, prices upon request)

Dominique of D Unique Wonderland We found Dominique by way of one of our savvy (fashionable) summer interns- “Have you heard of Dominique?” she said. And then of course like any beauty-obsessed mama we needed to follow up with a makeup sesh stat. About 45 minutes and one set of killer lashes later, our look was complete and flawless. It was obvious that Dominique’s training in the green rooms of television shows at some of the major stations had taught her a few things. Notable client: Jessie James Decker (For her lowest rates $65 plus $15 for lashes, visit Dunique Wonderland in New City, NY, house calls or on location starts at $100, contact her at dunique115@gmail.com or call (845) 325-1253)
