YOU, BUT THE BRIDAL VERSION.

Walk down the aisle feeling as beautiful as you look.

YOU DESERVE THE BEST ON THE DAY IT MATTERS MOST.

And makeup that still feels like you.

As a makeup artist, I understand the profound impact my role has on your wedding day. What I do goes beyond the brush - it’s about your confidence. For an event as monumental and documented as your wedding, my clients find value in feeling confidently themselves. With a modern approach, attention to detail, and customized color and product selections, my goal is to enhance the beauty that’s already there.

My Signature Style…

…has been described as enhanced, intentional, and modern with an elegant touch. While I’m not one to say no to a smokey eye, even my more glamorous applications air on the natural side so I stay true to allowing my clients natural beauty to shine.

MY APPROACH + VALUES

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.

  • 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 tried-and-true 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!

INVESTMENT DETAILS + WHAT’S INCLUDED

  • WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE 5 PEOPLE FOR MAKEUP? IS THERE A COST DIFFERENCE?

    You're able to substitute the remaining applications for wedding-related events such as your engagement party/photos, bridal shower, and rehearsal dinner! While I'm flexible to accommodate the inclusions of the minimum, the cost remains firm.

    DO YOU PROVIDE HAIR SERVICES? AIRBRUSH MAKEUP?

    I do not provide either service. I'd be happy to provide recommendations!

    WHAT IS THE COST PER PERSON?

    Please refer to the a la carte Add-Ons section in the Pricing + Info Guide provided above for bridesmaids/mom/etc. pricing.

    CAN I BOOK A TRIAL BEFORE COMMITTING?

    Since trials don't hold dates, they're reserved for booked brides!

    DO YOU PROVIDE AN ADDITIONAL ARTIST? WHAT'S THE PROCESS?

    If your booking is 8-12 (12 is my maximum) people, an additional artist is required. I take on the job of finding and booking the artist for you! An additional artist is not secured until booking is complete. I'm fortunate to work closely with a handful of trusted and talented makeup artists and rely on them for help; you'll know who the artist is once they're confirmed!

THE BEST TESTIMONIAL

I am not someone who knows a lot about makeup. Before my trial, this caused me some anxiety— I was worried that I didn’t have the language to properly articulate the “look” that I was hoping for. Within 5 minutes of my trial session, Carly’s warm energy and quiet confidence alleviated my stress completely. She asked all of the right questions and, through collaborative dialogue, was able to understand exactly what I was envisioning. She totally and completely zoned in on me and what I was saying. She made me feel like I was the most important client she has ever had. I think she makes every person who sits in her chair feel that way.

Prior to the wedding, Carly made herself available to me for any and all questions. She walked me through which skincare products to go for and what to avoid. Her communication was regular, professional, and organized. She was on it… but not in a way that was overbearing or repetitive. This let me know that I could trust her.

On the morning of my wedding day, Carly exceeded all of my expectations. I will never forget when she handed me the mirror to show me the finished look. I have never looked that beautiful… I didn’t think it was possible for me to even look THAT beautiful! The most amazing part was I still looked like me. My eyes immediately welled up when I saw my reflection. I have never felt more beautiful (nor more confident) in my entire life. Carly Jo was one of the best wedding vendors I had the pleasure of working with. To any future bride reading this: book Carly Jo. Do it… like right now. Did you see my pictures?! The before and after?! I mean HELLOOOO you should have booked her yesterday!!
