Eyebrows and top lid eyeliner the day after application look amazing! Although my eyes are still a little swollen, I can tell I won't be needing to wear Maybelline for a long while. Karma is truly a wonderful artist. I have been going to Makeup Alternatives for serial years now, only needing touch ups because the tattooed makeup fades very little. I work as a nurse in a busy hospital. My waterproof mascara would never last. Now I do not have to bother much with makeup at all :-) read more

Make-up Alternatives - Permanent brow and top lid eyeliner the day after application - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Tarzana, California

I wouldn't let anyone else touch my face but Karma! She's the BEST at what she does, a total pro! When I have had my makeup professionally done, and they tried to wipe off my makeup, most makeup artists are shocked to realize that it is permanent. People especially comment on my eyebrows and how natural they look. Since moving to New Mexico during the pandemic, I still fly in once a year to get touch-ups! read more

Perfect every time I have been using this business for YEARS. Karma v is a real artist. Professional 5 star plus

If you need eyebrows, this is the best . Have to book far in advance, but it's worth it! I've been going here for years.

Karma is amazing and a fantastic artist! I went in for a scar camouflage which has always been incredible noticeable to me but I was always afraid to have anything done. I can't believe I waited so long. Karma was wonderful in the consultation and listened to me and worked her magic. She did an amazing job and has given me my confidence back. I highly recommend her and will always be a client. read more

Excellent. Karma does my eyebrows and part of my scalp. (I think I've been seeing her for touchups for nearly ten years). Her work is perfect. I never look feminine (I'm male!) or artificial. Great work. Thank you! read more

Karma is beyond amazing. It may take a while to get an appointment, but I wouldn't let anyone else near my face.

Karma is the absolute best!! A true artist I have been a client for over ten years & would not go anywhere else. She is talented, an honest professional, listens to her clients concerns all while being friendly and always a pleasure to see. I highly recommend Carol O. read more

I am so happy I came here! Karma did a fantastic job on my eyebrows and they've never looked better. This was probably the best decision I've made in years! For the last 15 years my brows were sparse due to over plucking. I could always draw them in pretty good but they never looked natural. Karma studied my face and gave me the brow shape I've always wanted. I'm telling everyone I know to come here!!!! read more

My wife wrote this review and asked me to publish it: Three years ago after several recommendations from friends, I chose Karma Vieira to do my eyebrows. She was professional, clean, and methodical. She was very gentle and did a great job. I was very pleased with her work. Every year or so I return to have her re-touch my eyebrows. Karma has never disappointed me and I am extremely pleased with her work and will return again. read more

Karma Vieira does a great job on eyebrows!! I had thin sparse very light bows. Always had trouble plucking and shaping correctly. Karma took care if that and I don't have to do anything anymore. Her place is clean and she is so nice and friendly. Let me see the shape before she us s the permanent makeup and I was able to say what I liked or didn't like. Clean place, no pain since she uses numbing products first. Very enjoyable experience. The only downside to it is that she is so popular that it took a long time to get an appointment. But totally worth the wait!!! read more

I was recommended this place many years ago through a friend. It is the best place for permanent makeup. Karma is an amazing woman who truly knows her stuff. She does the hand method and uses organic products. The difference between the hand method and microblading I learned from her is that the hand method looks more natural. It recreates hair strokes instead of a fully shaded brow. I have come to karma for my eye liner and eyebrows. I'm looking forward to trying more in the future. read more

LOVE KARMA!!!!!!!!! So glad I found her. I came for scar re-pigmentation on my forehead. I had a surgery and the scar faded to white - I was told I needed hair transplants and micro pigmentation from this place that wanted 3,000$ and I knew that couldn't be my only option. I found Karma by chance and decided to give it a shot. First its like a fraction of the cost which is amazing. Needless to say I went twice and there was 75% improvement in my scar, people can't even tell its there. She color matches and then can create fine hairs. I will be going back to her for more scar work and permanent eyebrows. I would HIGHLY recommend her, you won't regret it. read more

I am so very happy with the way my eyebrows turned out. Karma has such a delicate and detailed application that perfectly mimics nature. No one can tell these aren't brows I was born with. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone. She is a watercolor artist and I believe her training and talent as a fine artist is what separates her from the rest. The only draw back is the amount of time it takes for an appointment. This speaks volumes about her popularity. For something this important and permanent, it is so worth the wait for her expertise. Love this service! read more

KARMA IS THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS PERIOD! If you want perfection, there's no other choice. She's a tattoo genius! Her work is incredibly natural, and I wont let anyone else touch my brows. I fly in from out of town because she's worth it. read more

I'm an entertainment hairstylist and my personal appearance is very important to me. I had the fashionable trendy micro-blading done to my auburn colored eyebrows with horrible results. The micro-blading technique can not correct any mistakes or seem to get the correct color resulting in a dark brown spotted heavy lines with purple undertones Groucho Marx style eyebrows. They looked disgusting and I hated it. Thank you Karma for the 3 tattoo removals you preformed and gave such a beautiful corrected auburn eyebrows. Karma is truly an artist, loves what she does and is exceptional. I highly recommend her. read more

I rarely yelp but Karma Vieira at Make-Up Alternatives is a "true" artist!! She tattooed my eyebrows, lips and eyeliner. She has an incredible artistic eye for perfection and will make you look beautiful and natural. Don't even consider micro-blading your brows as it doesn't last, and is an expensive fad. Karma uses pigments that last must longer, do not have iron oxides, and look extremely natural. Bonus, they will eventually fade naturally and not convert to a strange color. She is a perfectionist, extremely talented and very honest. I am moving overseas and will return to Karma for touch-ups. Now I know why she books up one year in advance. She has clients from all over the world! Karma, you're the best!!! Thank-you. read more

Karma has such professionalism. I went to LA to have my eyebrows done and it was one of the best decisions I've made. I'm a performer and live on stage. Makeup is such a huge part of my life and my routine feels effortless now. My face looks more symmetrical and I never realized it would make the difference it has. Karma was gentle, clean, and put me at ease through the whole process. Highly recommended!! read more

I do travel across the country from NYC to have Karma do my eyeliner. Her lines are a work of art! She is also just a gem of a person. I would not trust anyone else with permanent make up and i am sending my mother to have her lips and eyes and eyebrows fixed. read more

Outstanding! Karma knows her stuff and is the best permanent makeup artist ever!

I would travel across the country, if necessary, to have Karma Viera apply my permanent makeup and touch-ups. I have complete trust in her ability to get it just right every time. I have been a client of Karma's for about 8 +years. As I grew older I had increasing difficulty applying eye make up due to vision problems. Moreover, my eyebrows had grown noticeably thinner over the years. Karma resolved these issues beautifully. My eyeliner is perfect for the shape and color of my eyes. As well, my brows look completely natural. I returned today for a touch up of the liner, after several years. She did her usual great job. I also want to add that Karma is an absolute delight to spend time with. She has a lovely demeanor, fun personality, great laugh and is always professional. I can not imagine that there are any other artists as capable as Karma. Interesting to me is that she at one time painted doll faces. This speaks to her remarkable hand/eye coordination. It may take several months to get an appointment but it is well worth the wait. read more

Karma Viera is a TRUE professional. She chose the perfect color and shape brow for my face. It looks SO natural. I do not wear make up on a daily basis--once a month, maybe. I researched and researched for the perfect person to apply permanent brows to my face (so I could look 20 years younger). Over the years of getting my brows plucked, waxed and threaded, my brows were nonexistent. When someone took off too much hair, it would never grow back in, thus, my search for my savior, Karma Viera. Other places that performed permanent makeup on brows were so obvious--you could see the hash marks that were suppose to be hair replication marks. Karma Viera's work is very artistic and precise while maintaining a natural look. My brows are, NOW, the perfect frame to my face. I only have to put on mascara and gloss each day. Who knew that brows make such a significant difference in one's appearance?!?!?! It has been over a year since my original session, and even my husband doesn't realize that I got my brows tattooed. Everyone compliments my brows, but no one knows that they have been tattooed; they think I just got them plucked, waxed or threaded... Karma Viera's method is phenomenal, too. It was painless; it felt like tweezing--not painful like threading. Although I did go in for a touch up a year later, I really didn't need it. My brows still looked perfect. I think I may "do it up," now... I'm considering getting liner on my top and bottom lash lines. I'm so excited!!! read more

My 1 star review is solely based on poor communication with Vera. I had to make another appointment due to the simple fact that I needed her to fix one of my brows she had just touched up several weeks prior. Nothing was mentioned she would charge me another $175.00, plus the fact she said I should of had 2 appointments for my touchup since it had been 6 years since I've seen her. She had me make an appointment for next years touchup. She tells me one thing, and says something completely different when I see her. Granted, she does excellent work, but the communication is horrible. I do appreciate her assistant letting me know she was running 10 min late, although it was really 30 min late. I appreciate her fixing my brows, but she seriously needs to work on communication. This may have been the last time I go back, unless when this last touchup doesn't look how I want after it heals. I never had this problem before. Maybe it's my age....don't know. I am very unhappy with the bad communication. Just noticed that my left brow is crooked . I am changing my review. Don't think I will be back. She messed up my left side, said that she has to charge me again for the touch up because I haven't been there in 6 years. Yeah life happens!! But she should have informed me. Nothing was said. Kind of like "bait and switch". I guess I will just have to deal with this. She has gotten either careless, or sloppy. read more

Love Karma! She is an artist! She did my permanent eyebrows and eyeliner. Love her work . Hengi is great too-

Karma ROCKS!!!! Exceptional work. My eyebrows could not look any better. She is a true artist and a joy to spend time with.
