MEET YOUR MAKEUP ARTIST
Getting at pixie cut felt like a right of passage when I attended cosmetology school in 2016, except, I felt naked and bored without something to be creative with. Not everyone finds their passion through chopping 10+ inches off of their hair, but that’s how I did. Plus, I grew my hair out! Win, win if you ask me.
With experience in the beauty industry, obsession for all things love, Type-A organization and Enneagram-6 empathy, Aldi snacks, and many photos of my dog to share… I’m ready to help you feel the best on the day it matters most.

MY ETHOS
Why hire Carly Jo Makeup?
Your wedding day is a big deal, and I take my role in helping you feel your best honorably. Makeup is personal, and everyone has their own style, so I approach it with care - bringing out the beauty you already have.
What my clients value most is connection. After all, I’m a stranger doing your wedding makeup, so there’s got to be a spark, right?! It’s not just about the makeup itself (though that’s a big part); it’s about how you feel wearing it - confident and true to yourself, just in bridal form.
-
I've always held the belief that effective communication is the backbone of any relationship, and the dynamic between a vendor and client is no exception! By ensuring a comprehensive understanding of your expectations and that you're acquainted with my process, we pave the way for a stress-free wedding morning and flawless makeup application.
-
My goal is to help you in both feeling and looking your best and ensuring that every aspect from the products used, the overall experience, and the final outcome, meets the highest standards of quality.
-
Empathy has always been a guiding principle in my life, so creating your experience to a standard that I would expect if I were in your shoes hiring a makeup artist was at the top of mind. Whether you've encountered a negative experience in the past or if your wedding marks your first experience with a professional makeup artist, rest assured that this is a safe and welcoming space for you! Everyone is welcome in my chair!
“You could not ask for more assurance from a makeup artist than partnering with Carly. She is the perfect balance of personality and professionalism. I hadn't met her in person prior to my makeup trial, but I could just tell from her demeaner online that she not only has experience and passion.. she’s also REAL. On a daily basis I wear minimal makeup, so going into my trial I thought I wanted “subtle” for my bridal makeup. Later I changed my mind (hence why trials are so helpful) and when I relayed that information to her she was not only receptive to my feedback, but she was EXCITED to do more. She made such an incredible impact on my wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone a million times over.”
