    Carolyn and her team are THE BEST. We all looked STUNNING!

    I don't even know where to begin, but I will start with Carolyn and her team is absolutely amazing. I got married at The Barn at Villa Venezia in Middletown, NY and I wanted to find a makeup and hair team that was relatively close to the venue. Carolyn is located in the Paramus, NJ area and I found her on Instagram. I booked hair and makeup through her, and Carolyn was my makeup artist and Anna was my hair stylist. From the moment I did my trial, I knew everything was going to be perfect on my wedding day. Carolyn and Anna are so nice and welcoming, I felt like I was being glammed by my best girl friends. Not only are they down to earth, but they are hilarious. I did a natural glam look with Hollywood waves in my hair and I felt like a movie star. My mom and my bridesmaids also did their hair and makeup with them and they LOVED it. One of my bridesmaids said they looked better as bridesmaid with Carolyn's makeup and Anna's hair then did on their own wedding day. They are masters at what they do and they are perfectionists. I cannot thank them enough for their top of the line service and how stunning we all looked.

    The absolute best

    Carolyn is the absolute best at what she does. Theres not a look she can’t achieve and does everything she can to make you feel happy and special. I don’t have great skin and I’m always nervous about saying I don’t like something. She made me feel my best and was so kind when I asked to change things. Would book her over and over and over

    Best experience EVER

    Carolyn is a makeup goddess. She is not just perfection in what she does she also has a heart and personality of gold. She made me feel so calm the whole day and I enjoyed every second of getting ready with her. I have never had makeup stay so perfectly. I woke up the next day and my makeup looked just like it did when she finished. Carolyn is a queen and anyone who works with her is a lucky girl!!!

    Carolyn- VIP Service

    Carolyn was one of my favorite vendors that I booked for my wedding. From timely and prompt communication to making me feel and look incredible. I booked Carolyn for the VIP and I HIGHLY recommend doing it. She touched up my makeup between every single photo, took photos and videos for extra content and followed me around all day long! She has incredible energy that is both calming and upbeat. She is exactly what you need on your special day. I couldn't recommend her services any more. The trial looked great but on my wedding day, my makeup was even better! Carolyn is extremely talented and personable and if you are still looking for a makeup artist, look no further.

    Perfection

    Carolyn was the first vendor I booked after deciding on a venue and date. Makeup was a top priority for me and I fell in love with her work on instagram. She did not disappoint, my trial was perfection. My wedding day she somehow managed to somehow make it even more perfect. To top it all off, if her work didn’t already speak volumes, Carolyn is one of the sweetest souls. She was my own personal hype woman, she made me feel so special on my day. Her team was also amazing. I could not recommend her enough.

    The best glam team around

    From my first interaction with Carolyn’s booking team, to the day of services, my experience was exceptional. The booking assistant made everything so easy to manage. My trial with Carolyn went exactly how I expected and then some. Carolyn listens to her brides and also adds her expertise input. The day of my wedding I felt like a princess. Carolyn took her time with me and gave me the bridal look of my dreams. Thank you so much for taking care of me for my wedding!

    Airbrush Makeup

    I can’t thank Carolyn enough for making my day extra special. Her talent is unmatchable. I started with makeup at 5am and it lasted until 1 am the following morning and still looked perfect. She is a true artist who perfected my wedding day look!

    The absolute best!

    Words cannot express how grateful I am to have had Carolyn as my makeup artist on my wedding day. Not only is she incredibly talented at what she does, but her kindness and warmth truly set her apart. From the moment I met her, I felt at ease and knew I was in good hands. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and she took the time to understand exactly what I wanted for my bridal look. The result was beyond anything I could have imagined - she enhanced my natural look in the most elegant and stunning way. Throughout the entire process, she radiated positivity and professionalism, making the experience all the more enjoyable. She went above and beyond to ensure that I felt confident, happy and absolutely beautiful in my skin. On the most important day of my life, Carolyn played a pivotal role in making me feel like the best version of myself. I cannot recommend her enough to any bride-to-be or anyone looking for a truly exceptional makeup artist. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my wedding day even more magical!

    Perfection!

    Carolyn and her team are the best of the best!!! I (the Bride) used her for my make up and her team did both make up and hair for my bridesmaids. Everything was perfect all night long and we partied HARD! Carolyn is the sweetest person and even 8 months pregnant didn’t skip a beat. I will be forever grateful for her attention to detail and self motivation to make her brides feel like a Queen! Thank you times a million!!!

    Best Decision Ever

    As soon as I booked my venue, I reached out to book Carolyn and her team. Carolyn was the artist for a friend's wedding and I knew I needed to have her for my big day. She made me feel so beautiful and confident - I could not have asked for anything more. Her team was also incredible and my bridal party still talks about how beautiful the team made them look and feel. Hiring Carolyn was truly the best decision and I am so thankful that she was available to come for my wedding!

She made my mom look and feel AMAZING! Everyone was so happy with how they looked. My makeup didn’t move at all. I ended the night the way I started. Through all the tears, sweat and more tears - you could not even tell! I can not recommend Carolyn enough. Not to mention she was 8 months pregnant and still brought ALL. THE. ENERGY!!!

    Book her!

    I got married on 4.19.24 and let me tell you, Carolyn is spectacular, and one of the best decisions I’ve made. I am a stickler with hair and makeup, and she really came through. It’s not only how exceptional her work is, but also her personality. She was joyful, personable, light spirited and funny. I would choose Carolyn over and over again!!! You can trust her and anyone she trains. Diana was the other artist who came with her, and did SO GOOD!!! You won’t regret booking with Carolyn, believe me!!

    BEST Wedding Makeup Artist!!!

    Carolyn is the absolute BEST you could have for your makeup on your wedding day. Don’t even look into anybody else, if she’s available jump on it. From booking to the trial to the actual wedding day, her assistant and Carolyn herself were so responsive and communicative. She made the morning nerves melt away and we all had so much fun getting ready! She truly is an artist, all the makeup her and her assistant Lauren did was stunning and it all stayed perfectly. Mine even lasted until the next morning. I couldn’t imagine my wedding day without her and I’m so glad she was such a big part of it all. 10/10!!!
