Trends come and go, products go viral for a week.
But technique - real foundational technique - will always outlast the algorithm.
My education is designed for the artist who wants longevity in this industry. The one who cares less about copying what’s trending and more about understanding why something works.
We focus on:
Skin theory and prep that aids in longevity
Complexion building vs. masking using strategic layering
Intentional product selection
Client communication and expectation management
It’s a deep dive into decision-making, structure, and refinement - so you can walk away confident in your technique, not reliant on mine.
“{I} walked into my 1:1 makeup class hoping to learn a few tips and walked out with so much more. Every step was broken down in a way that made sense for me, and I understand how to use the products I already own with confidence as well as new product recommendations. The attention to detail, the hands-on support, and the overall experience was truly next level. I left feeling empowered, inspired, and ready to take on natural glam”

“I refer to Carly Jo as one of the most successful bridal makeup artists in Columbus! She was so down to earth and informative in her mini masterclass she hosted. I am so grateful to have been able to learn from her in person and can’t wait to apply the techniques. Thank you Carly!”
-Maddie
“Carly Jo is truly an artist, she reignited my love for the art of makeup again. In the industry it's easy to fall into the same routine & get burnt out. Carly reminded me of so many things I learned in makeup school while teaching me MULTIPLE new techniques & tools that I hadn't heard of! I truly aspire to be able to create like Carly & recommend her to any & everyone!!!”
