Best decision I could have made for my wedding day

Carolyn brings the amazing energy that you want on the morning of your wedding day. She was the first vendor I booked and it was the best decision I could have made. I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life. My makeup did not budge the entire night and it was pouring on my wedding day. I will recommend Carolyn to every future bride I come across. She is not only an amazing artist but an amazing person as well. You will not regret booking her for your special day!

Wow what an awesome experience!!

Carolyn is a non negotiable for the wedding! She brought the vibes, the skills and everything! Loved her! I am a sweaty person and literally my make up did not move one bit !!! Everyone said I looked like I had a filter all night !!! She makes sure all your features are shown and make you feel sooooo comfortable! She will be back for my sister and cousins weddings! I am Middle Eastern so I am super picky, so the fact that she met my expectations and above spoke soooo many words! Hire her, invest in yourself because you literally won’t regreat!!!!!!! B

The best wedding makeup ever!

I do not even know where to begin. From start to finish Carolyn was absolutely amazing. Her energy the morning of my wedding was unmatched. She truly takes her time and listens to you. My makeup stayed FLAWLESS and I mean flawless for 12 plus hours and I did not need to touch up once. You really look like a filter in real life. I already have family and friends saying they are booking her. She is the best and there is truly no one else I would have trusted on my wedding day. 10/10 experience. She is the best of the best!!!

Carolyn & Her Team Were Absolutely Amazing!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Carolyn and her team! From the very beginning, Carolyn was so personable, kind, and easy to work with. She has such a warm personality and made the entire experience feel comfortable, relaxed, and fun — exactly the kind of energy you want around you on your wedding morning!

My makeup came out absolutely beautiful and I truly felt like the best version of myself. Carolyn listened to exactly what I wanted while also using her expertise to make everything come together perfectly. She is incredibly talented, but beyond that, you can tell she genuinely loves what she does and cares about the people sitting in her chair. She is definitely in the right career!

Her team was also amazing. They were professional, personable, and did such a beautiful job with everyone. Having them there made getting ready such a fun and seamless part of the day.

I’m so happy Carolyn and her team were part of my wedding day and would recommend them over and over again to any bride. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! 🤍

Bridal Glam ✨👰🏼‍♀️

I am so happy I had Carolyn’s makeup artistry for my wedding day!! From the very start communication was great and there was never a question on pricing as everything was very transparent. They worked with me on timeline, adding people to my contract, and made sure everyone was done at my preferred time with time for last minute touch ups. Carolyn and her assistant were professional and so nice. They listened to everything from full glam to more softer glam for some and it was exactly what everyone wanted. They made the morning fun and calmed my nerves. The airbrush makeup felt great and stayed on even with an outdoor ceremony in 80 degree weather. Very happy I chose Carolyn and her team for making me feel my very best on my wedding day😊❤️

Gorgeous Bridal Glam!

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Carolyn and Daly! They were absolutely incredible from beginning to end and played such a special part in making my wedding day feel perfect.

They took the time to understand exactly what I envisioned and brought it to life beautifully. I felt so confident, comfortable, and beautiful, and my hair and makeup stayed flawless throughout the entire day—even through all the photos, dancing, and celebrating!

Carolyn and her team were also extremely professional, organized, and punctual, which made getting ready feel completely stress-free. They were so talented, sweet, and genuinely such a joy to have around on my wedding morning.

I am beyond grateful that I chose them for my wedding day. If you are a bride looking for a hair and makeup team that will make you feel absolutely beautiful while also making the morning fun and enjoyable, I could not recommend Carolyn, Daly, and their team more! 🤍

The absolute best glam experience!

Carolyn absolutely KILLED my wedding glam! From the second she started, I knew I was in the best hands. My makeup looked flawless, stayed beautiful all day, and still looked amazing late into the night.

I got the VIP package, and it was 100000% worth it. If you don’t have that booked - definitely book it!! She stayed with me throughout the entire day, constantly touching up my makeup and lip gloss so I never had to worry about a thing.

On top of being incredibly talented, Carolyn has the sweetest, most bubbly, and warm personality. If you’re a nervous bride, I promise she will make you feel so comfortable and relaxed. It honestly felt like having another friend by my side all day.

One of my favorite parts was that she captured little video clips throughout the day. Those behind-the-scenes moments are so special, and now I have memories I’ll cherish forever.

I truly couldn’t have imagined anyone else doing my wedding makeup. Thank you, Carolyn, for making me feel like the best version of myself on the biggest day of my life. I recommend her to every bride without hesitation! 💕

Long lasting / stunning transformation

Let me just say that if you’re in look for a full glam, this is the artist right here. I booked her just a few months before my wedding in NY, I didn’t do a makeup trial and went off solely her portfolio. Honestly the best decision because she delivered! Blown away at how stunning she made me feel that day, makeup lasted all day in this summer heat! Mind you I am an oily girl ! Would 100% recommend!

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! ❤️
