    This lesson is for those looking to elevate their everyday look, learn how to perfect a smokey eye, and everything in between!

    This lesson is exclusively held at my studio in Columbus, Ohio.

    How it works:

    Bring in the products and tools you feel are right for our lesson. We’ll discuss your current routine, what is and isn’t working, and skincare. From there, using your products/tools, I will demonstrate the look on one side of your face while you replicate on the other side while I guide you.

    A full brush set is included and gifted to you. I will have my makeup kit handy in case we need to suffice a specific product or tool!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

“I am so grateful for the knowledge Carly Jo shared with me. She is very personable and professional, which made our meeting go seamlessly. Carly did an excellent job answering all of my questions and I gained a lot of insight into the world of professional makeup. I will definitely be using Carly's advice throughout my career, and I will always appreciate the guidance she provided me. I would highly recommend Carly's services.”

“I loved this! To get a professional opinion on struggles I have been having, is invaluable. I do not have an occasion, but wanted a professional opinion on my changing (aging!) skin. I got some much needed & personalized advice for application technique, contour placement, eyebrow shaping, and a simple smokey eye (my everyday go-to!). SO much fun, and I have seen the positive change in my application since that day! Go for this class if you just want to improve your overall look!”

“I really enjoyed talking with Carly Jo about some of the aspects of the makeup industry I am struggling with in freelancing! It was nice to connect to someone that lives in Ohio and also has been to a lot of the same trade shows as me, to help with some specific ideas and keep my passion going. Plus, we had a very cute doggie visitor too 😉.”

“The makeup lesson with Carly was honestly so much fun and so worth it! She is the sweetest person and is genuinely willing to help and teach. I usually don't wear much makeup, so I was a total makeup beginner - clueless about how to use bronzer and never even applied fake lashes before. Getting recommendations from her on how to use the products I already own and also what simple additions I could make to my collection was so useful. She helped me become a lot more comfortable with my makeup and how I should be applying it to my face. After our lesson, I spent the rest of the night on FaceTime with friends and family to show them my makeup! :) I'm excited to be able to use my new makeup skills the next time I get dressed up or if I just want to feel more put together!”
