About
Hello! I am Carolyn Thombs a professional makeup artist living in the Northern Virginia area, but I am willing to travel depending on your needs. I look forward to getting to know each and every one of you to see if I am the right choice as your artist for your special day! Now here is a little bit about how I approach the art of makeup.
I am not just a Professional Makeup Artist, I approach each client and face as a piece of artwork. Each client's face is differnt and has different needs, therefore each piece is an original translating your inner beauty to the surface for everyone to see. Each client is provided with an indepth consultation ensuring that services provided to them are tailored specifically for their needs and desires. I only use high quality products and am also flexibile as to each client's sensitivities.
I do weddings, commercial and editorial photo shoots as well as hands on consulting in the Virginia, DC, Maryland, New York, Charlottesville and Philadelphia areas and am willing to travel outside of these areas as well.
If you every have any questions about my style, past work or what my favorite lipstick is please feel free to ask!

Great service for my wedding makeup!
She was enthusiastic about executing what I wanted and was great at making sure I was happy with all of the decisions for my hair and makeup. She was very flexible, giving the moms and my bridesmaids the hair and makeup styles that they wanted and felt comfortable with. She was also able to provide grooming services for the groom and groomsmen, which was great. Overall she was professional, communicative, and everyone looked great!
