Worth every single penny!!!

From the moment I had my trial with Carolyn last year, I knew I was in the best hands. On my wedding day, she seriously made me feel like the prettiest I’ve ever looked. Getting ready with her on my wedding morning, she felt like a best friend I have known for so many years, she seriously knows how to calm your nerves having the best time while creating magic on your face. BOOK THE VIP SERVICE! From the tears to the sweat to the non stop kissing family on the cheeks, she made sure I looked perfect in all those moments.

My makeup was absolutely INSANE! It was everything I dreamed of and more. The amount of I received from my guests was insane! My makeup lasted flawlessly all night. The touch ups here and there throughout the day seriously were the best.

She is incredibly talented, professional, calming, and genuinely cares about making you feel your absolute best. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for making me feel so beautiful and confident on one of the most important days of my life. I will forever be grateful! ❤️

Most amazing MUA ever!

There are truly not enough words to recommend Carolyn and her team enough! She not only made me feel the prettiest I have ever felt in my entire life, but she was such an amazing hype woman the entire morning from the minute she stepped into the room. She lit up the room with her energy and made getting ready such a fun and stress-free experience- I felt so happy and confident sitting in her makeup chair, I felt like I was on cloud 9. She and her whole team are SO talented, it was a super hot day and our makeup didn't move at all. She truly cares so much about her clients and you can tell from how communicative and caring she is right from the start of the process, to the trial, to the wedding day. If you are thinking about booking her, don't hesitate for one second it will be the best decision I would chose her time and time again!!!!

The Perfect Wedding Morning Starts with Carolyn

Carolyn is truly one of a kind! From the moment she arrived on my wedding morning, she brought the best energy. She was like my own personal hype woman—celebrating every moment right alongside me and making the entire getting-ready experience so much fun. Her warm, uplifting personality was exactly what every bride hopes to have by her side on such a special day.

Her talent speaks for itself. Carolyn’s airbrush makeup is unmatched. She created a look that made me feel like the best version of myself while still looking completely like me. My wedding day was incredibly hot, and despite the heat, happy tears, and hours of celebrating, my makeup stayed absolutely flawless through the very last photo.

Carolyn is not only an incredibly talented makeup artist but also someone you genuinely want with you on your wedding day. She has a gift of making you feel excited, beautiful, and completely at ease, and her work is simply exceptional. I can’t recommend her enough!

Glam of my dreams!!

I'll make this easy - hire Carolyn AND do the VIP service! I've been a bridesmaid in 12 weddings, and I've never been satisfied with my makeup. For my own wedding it was extremely important to me to find a MUA who took acute care to listen to what I was looking for - oh my goodness Carolyn delivered! I felt truly beautiful at my wedding. Our day was also 90 degrees and the VIP service was absolutely worth it!! At every corner Carolyn was there to touch me up, and took some of the most precious behind the scenes videos from our day. I truly cannot recommend Carolyn enough!!

Obsesssssed with my bridal day makeup

WOWOWOWOWOWOWWWW, my girl!!! You made me feel like the most beautiful and perfect bride. I got lucky and Carolyn had another wedding cancel the day of my wedding. I was offered Carolyn and immediately said YES. She came in and did me and my mom's makeup. We both wanted FULL GLAM and boy did she serve. Her team was also amazing. There was zero regrets and all my bridesmaids felt so beautiful. Carolyn is very detailed oriented and after showing her 2 inspo pics she knew exactly what to do. She made me feel relaxed and even posted a fun little reel of me after the wedding. I cant thank you enough for making me look/feel the most gorgeous I have ever felt. XXOooo, Kayla Stoll

I’m so glad my Florida trial was a bust because I never would have found you!!

I truly don’t have enough words to express how incredible my experience was with Carolyn! From the moment we met at my makeup trial, I felt completely at ease - like I was in the hands of not just a really talented special person but also a genuine friend.
Carolyn made me look and feel more beautiful than I ever imagined possible on my wedding day. She listened to everything I wanted, brought it to life flawlessly and somehow still exceed expectation I had as well as my families! I trusted her completely and she delivered well above in every possible way!
Beyond her amazing skills, she is one of the most sweetest, kindest people I’ve ever met. Having her there on such an important day meant so much to me! She brought such a calming, positive energy that made the whole experience even more special. Even when champagne burst into my eye (lol) she quickly and calming fixed my makeup! I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to be part of my wedding day. I will forever be grateful!! Thank you!!
