I am Karisa Sava and I have been a professional make-up artist since 2011 with experience in all aspects of the industry. I am so passionate about my career and it motivates and inspires me every single day to help make women feel proud about their appearance either through make-up or simply by supplying them with the perfect lipstick.  As a mother of three, I am blessed to have a career that I truly enjoy and can show my children that they can follow their dreams and be successful in a career that they love.  

My training and education provides dependable and detail-oriented, professional work.

In 2015, inspired by the desire to match the perfect lipstick shades for my clients, I launched my own lipstick line, SMACKbyKarisa.  This lipstick line creates a truly unique and 100% personalized lipstick for any client by using a combination of waxes, pigments, and scents. Over the past 7 years I have expanded and added on to selling SMACKbeauty products. This new line is a very beneficial and healthy wide variety of skincare products from antiaging time bomb serums to airbrush foundation.

SMACKbyKarisa is sold at multiple boutiques around the Mahoning Valley. 

I offer my make-up services for a variety of events, such as:

Wedding Parties - Proms - Senior Pictures - Engagement Pictures & more

Private make-up classes (1 on 1 or up to 10 people per class)

Personalized Lipstick parties (individual or up to 15 people per party) 

I am located in Howland, OH and I am willing to travel to you (or your venue) so that it is as convenient and stress free as possible on your biggest days.
