Carly was absolutely amazing! I've never had my make up done professionally, but from the trial Carly had me completely at ease. The morning of my wedding she came over early to start my mom's and my make up, and it was the most wonderful way to start the day. We really enjoyed talking with Carly, and she did such a beautiful job. I'm notorious for wearing off my make up before lunch most days, but she finished my make up by 12 n., and when I finally turned in for the night at 2 am after hugs and tears and dancing and laughing for hours, it still looked flawless.

Carly is also good about educating you on how to let your skin recover from wearing heavy make up for so long, and really went out of her way to make sure that I wouldn't pay the price in breakouts the next day...and I didn't! I also have skin that can react oddly to cosmetics, but nothing irritated it in the least. I can't recommend her enough, and can't wait for my next big event so I can hire her again!

When I think of all the things that went well on my wedding day, I always think of Carly. Not only is she professional and very talented, she's also VERY fun. The stress of nine girls getting ready in a tiny hotel room completely melted away when Carly and her assistant arrived. (That's saying a lot. I was a high-strung bride for every second of eight months leading up to that moment.) They set up the makeup chairs, turned on the music, and we had a GREAT time. All my bridesmaids commented it was the most relaxed they've ever felt before a wedding and everyone just loved her.

Carly was also very good about making sure each girl was happy with their look. She'd have us look in the mirror and make sure we liked what was going on before she proceeded. And if you didn't like your lip color? Fine! Good thing you looked. Let's find one you love. Not crazy about your eye shadow? Let's get that changed! "You're going to be in a lot of pictures today," she'd say to a bridesmaid. "We gotta make sure you like how you look!" I'm not sure what's more impressive...her makeup skills or her attitude. She kept us laughing the whole time.

The day wouldn't have been the same without her. I feel so lucky I found her and had her company on my wedding day.

Carly is the absolute BEST! She went above and beyond to make my wedding day memorable. She is professional yet down to earth loves what she does and it shows. Carly did more then offered and went the extra mile for me literally lol I wld recommend Makeup By Vega to everyone!
