Reviews

"An absolutely amazing 1:1 Artist Class with Carly!"

★★★★★

“She structured our class in a very helpful hands-on demonstration way that allowed me to learn by doing. She made sure to check in throughout the instruction process to ensure that I was getting the most out of the different techniques I was being taught, and made sure to ask specifically what bits and pieces of her whole routine I had the most interest in learning about. I have also attended a master class of Carly's and truly, wholeheartedly mean it when I say that I have done my best work after implementing some of her product recommendations and techniques into my normal routine. If you're a makeup artist, local or not, Carly is a kind, patient, incredibly brilliant human who is happy to share her knowledge and experience to help you elevate your work and provide the best experience to your own clients.

"She reignited my love for the art of makeup again."

★★★★★

“Carly Jo is truly an artist. 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!!!”

“Carly was amazing!! I learned so much through the 1:1 with her and taught me many tips and tricks. I’m already using a lot of the things I learned in this lesson. She was so welcoming and made the lesson fun. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to meet her in person and learn from her.”
- Bryanna
"The overall experience was truly next level."

★★★★★

“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.”

Why Learn From Carly Jo?

My lessons are designed for artists and makeup lovers who want detail-oriented, actionable education that they can apply the next time they pick up a brush for themselves or their clients.
