Carried Away with Carraway Beauty

I used Carraway Beauty for the makeup of my mom, two bridal circle sisters and myself (the bride). Monique was great. As someone who doesn't wear makeup and didn't feel like I really had the bride gene, she was helpful in talking through options for the big day, without making me feel silly for asking so many questions.

I wanted something that looked natural, but a little glam. We all got great looks that made the look of the day seamless. The preview was immensely helpful in figuring out the ways we could punch up the look if we wanted to on the wedding day.

She is quite reasonable for what she offers. And it's obvious she cares about skin care before and beyond what she does on the wedding day. She was on time and also had a wonderful attitude and aura about her on the day that just fit with the joyous vibe of the day. I really appreciated that.

I would highly recommend her for a wedding and as a makeup educator as well.

I felt like a Queen

I honestly couldn't have asked for a better team. It was a wonderful experience. I looked and felt like a Queen. For someone who only considers applying mascara as doing my makeup, I was afraid I'd look like a catfish version of myself but Monique did her magic and we all had an absolute blast.

Amazing service


Monique made my day very special! She did my makeup and hair fabulous!

On top of being a expert in her craft she was so sweet. I’m not familiar with makeup and had no clue what I wanted, Monique was able to narrow it down for me and make me look like a princess. She was so patient with me and the whole family.

Monique also did my daughter hair which also came out great. She definitely completed my look and I’m glad I hired her.


Thank you Monique!!!!
