Not only is Carly an amazing make up artist, she is also a wonderful person. My wedding had to be cancelled due to COVID-19 and Carly was a vendor that showed she truly cared about her clients. I was lucky enough to have done a make up trial with Carly prior to all of the shelter in place orders. I recently saw a photo of myself from that day and couldn't believe how flawless my skin looked. Carly truly listened to all of my ideas and helped me find the look I was going for. We must have gone through 7+ lip colors looking for the perfect "almost natural" color that I had made up in my mind but couldn't quite describe, but she still found it. She was incredibly patient and never made me feel rushed or silly. I cannot recommend Carly enough, she is worth every penny and everyone in your party will look flawless!

Carly came highly recommended to me from my sister and friend - and she lived up to the hype! From the initial e-mail organizing the makeup trial to helping coordinate 11 individuals makeup schedules on my wedding day, Carly is incredible. For the bridal makeup trial, Carly traveled to my home in Chicago the morning of my bridal shower. It was really fun to get my makeup done for that event. On my wedding day, Carly and I talked about the bridal trial and tweaked the makeup a little bit from that day. It was exactly what I envisioned for my wedding day and can't thank Carly enough. She is so great at what she does!

I absolutely LOVED my wedding makeup! Carly listened to my style, offered suggestions and made me feel so comfortable! I had no doubt in my mind that the look we created beforehand would be nothing short of beautiful. All of my girls looked great and loved their makeup too. She gave me a little beauty care package the day of as well to help if needed, and just that extra touch made me feel so happy that I choose her to be apart of my special day. Thank you so much Carly! You're the best. Xo

Carly is simply the best!! Not only is she very personable and sweet, she is extremely responsive and organized. Carly will make sure you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way in creating your wedding day look. I can't emphasize enough how comfortable and beautiful I felt on my wedding day! Not only that, but my makeup and my bridesmaids makeup looked fresh all throughout the night. Carly was also able to accommodate a very last minute request to squeeze in my mother in law and grandmother in law without any hesitation- this meant so much to me. I can't recommend Carly enough!

I worked with Carly for my wedding in October 2019 and she was fantastic! I don't typically wear a ton of make-up, so I loved Carly's approach to wedding make-up. She took the time to really listen to me and worked with me to test different looks so I felt 100% comfortable going into the wedding day. Plus she was so nice and easy to work with-everything was so organized and she was on top of all my questions. The day-of make-up was beautiful and I loved that I still looked like myself.

I could not be more impressed with the makeup artistry Carly provided. She worked with me every step of the way - from trial to the day of the wedding, she listened to my thoughts and concerns. As someone who rarely wears makeup - I was very apprehensive about makeup on my wedding day. Not only did I not want to look overly done -up, but I wasn't sure how face makeup would wear on me. Carly made me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process- even pausing throughout the service to ensure we were still on the same page. On the day of the wedding, she was so prepared and made me and my bridesmaids feel amazing. She perfectly attended to each person in her chair and made everyone's natural beauty shine. As a plus - she even mastered the makeup on my maids with lots of freckles! I would wholeheartedly recommend Carly to anyone seeking a partner who is kind and great at their craft.

I had the pleasure of working with Carly for my bridal makeup. Carly is amazingly talented and so fun and easy going. All of my bridesmaids looked amazing! I was so happy with both the look from my trial and the day of. Carly listened to exactly what I wanted and was so much fun in the bridal suite. She made me look like the best version of myself and I cannot thank her enough! 5 stars across the board!

Wow. Where do I even begin? Not only is Carly incredibly talented, she also just happens to be an absolute joy to work with. Despite being a professional photographer, I'm super awkward when it comes to being in front of the camera and getting my make up professionally done. I worked with Carly for a professional branding session (where I had to be in front of the camera. Ugh) and, despite initially feeling nervous, I ended up leaving the shoot feeling confident, beautiful and like I had made a great new friend. Carly really listens to you when you express your vision. She managed to make me look like me, but a super beautiful, dewey, doe eyed version of myself! I know I will be using her services for any and all of my make-up needs in the future and have been recommending her to all of my clients. Thank you, Carly! Stay amazing!

Not only is Carly super talented, she is also such a lovely person! I have never been super confident with make up and usually feel awkward when it’s professionally done and never love the results. Not the case with Carly! I had so much fun chatting with her while she did her magic and the result was beautiful. She nailed my request to look natural, playing up the eyes a little bit and giving my complexion a dewey glow. I felt so beautiful and had such an amazing time! Thank you so much, Carly! I can’t wait until the next time I’m in your chair!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Carly and the makeup services she provided for my wedding. She has such a calm presence and really listened to what I wanted for the day. As a bride with very limited knowledge about makeup, she was incredibly helpful in showing me different options and giving me her true opinion about the best choices for my big day. All of my bridal party looked amazing and was so happy with their makeup for the day. She was truly a dream to work with and I cannot recommend her more.
