Wonderful makeup

Carola does fantastic makeup. She is totally professional with years of experience. I have had my face done several times by makeup artists and Carola was by far the best. I highly recommend her.

Beautiful soft glam wedding makeup

Carola and Shirley made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day; I was thrilled with my hair and make-up. They were responsive and flexible throughout the process (I asked for two hair trials to figure out if I wanted an updo or my hair down, and I went back and forth about hair extensions until the day of the wedding). Carola just wanted me to feel and look great, and was patient and encouraging throughout. I particularly appreciate that she really listened to my mom and mother-in-law, crafted individual make-up looks for them both, and they had never looked or felt more stunning. Carola also gave me two entirely different looks on my wedding weekend (sexy/glam for my rehearsal dinner and welcome reception, and soft/romantic glam for my wedding day), and both were absolutely gorgeous.

The most fabulous makeup artist you will find!

I HIGHLY recommend Carola Myers for wedding day hair and makeup. Carola first did makeup for my wedding. It was so spectacular that my sister used her for her wedding as well, followed by the bridal party for my brother's wedding soon after. She is part of the family now! The quality of her makeup application simply can't be beaten - she is a true artist and makes everyone look their absolute best. I can't stress how great of a makeup artist she is. Carola is also very professional, calm, and super friendly and has great energy to have around on a big day. I will continue to use her for makeup beyond my wedding as well!

Carola and Shelley were Phenomenal!

Carola and Shelley did my bridal hair and makeup, as well as hair and makeup for the wedding party. I can't say enough wonderful things about them! Carola did our makeup. She is incredibly talented and experienced, and I absolutely loved my makeup on the wedding day! She took the time to consider what worked best on my skin and complexion and also took the time to explain what she was doing and why. I also loved her own Carola Myers line of makeup, which she recently launched and used at our wedding. On a personal note, Carola is also someone you definitely want around you in the midst of all that's happening on your wedding day. She is an absolute delight—not only does she exude warmth and positive energy, but she is also an incredibly calming presence. She is also an excellent communicator and consummate professional—she made herself available right away for a bridal trial, and really cares about her clients. Shelley was also fantastic for hair. Every single woman LOVED her hair style, and I absolutely loved my bridal hair. She has an amazing talent for hair, and she also works really quickly while doing an excellent job. At the end of the night, my hair had not BUDGED and still looked perfect! I would use Carola Myers and her team again in a heartbeat. I'm so glad we hired her!

Carola Works Magic

Carola and her team did an amazing job on hair and make up for our wedding. Not only did they go above and beyond during COVID they easily adapted to our ever changing needs. Everyone in our wedding party looked beautiful and the best versions of themselves. I can't recommend working with Carola and her team enough!

Carola makes you feel beautiful!

Choosing Carola for my wedding day was such an easy decision! She did my sister-in-law’s makeup for her wedding day and I loved how pretty she made everyone feel that I knew I wanted her for my wedding day. When you are getting ready you want to have a relaxing experience, and I felt so relaxed and comfortable with Carola. Carola makes you and your loved ones feel beautiful! Carola takes her time with you to ensure your makeup and hair brings out the best of you. She works with you to understand your skin type, makeup style, and makes sure your makeup will stay in place for hours! I didn’t have to do any touchups throughout my wedding day! And my hair stayed in place all night long! I would recommend Carola for all brides in the DC area, or if you just want your makeup and hair done for an event. She makes you feel so pretty and you will not be disappointed.

Amazingly Talented! You'll be the best version of yourself.

I was so happy to have Carola Myers with me on my wedding day! She is so incredibly talented and has such an amazing attention to detail. Following my hair and make-up trial, I had a little hiccup with my mascara not lasting the whole day. That's totally what trials are for though :) I let her know and she took note, making sure to bring a different long-lasting mascara for my wedding day, and it lasted the entire day/evening :) (And it was a very long day too!). I work out in the woods for a living, so truth be told, makeup is not really a part of my daily routine. When most folks see me, I'm not wearing any makeup. Carola is an incredible artist. Part of what attracted me to her work in the first place was after she did my cousin's wedding - I was in awe - everyone looked like the best version of themselves. I was so incredibly happy on my wedding day - I looked like the best version of myself - natural & wedding-ready all-at-once! My hair and makeup was positively perfect. I had friends who have known me since high school make a point to come up to me to tell me that whoever did my makeup was amazingly talented - that I looked like me but wedding-ready. My hair was also exactly like I dreamed of too! I showed a few of my favorites off my phone from Pintrest at my trial, and the hair stylist created a unique style that was so perfect and better than I could've ever imagined. Carola is so personable and an absolute delight to chat with. It was so wonderful being with her on our wedding morning - everything was so calm and relaxed. I would 100% recommend her for your wedding day!
