My Wedding Day

I can highly recommend Carly for your wedding day experience . She is professional, knowledgeable, friendly, reliable and an absolute please to spend time with on your big day.
Nothing is too much trouble she goes above and beyond to make your Wedding Day so special. From our first point of contact, the trial and our big day everything went just perfect.
As a more mature bride I was not confident with a bridal look, but can honesty say I could not have been happier as Carly made me feel beautiful. She listened to my thoughts and brought them to life. I would not have changed a thing.
Amazing bridal hair and make up artist!

INCREDIBLE and more than just make up 💖

Carly was incredible from start to finish. She was so easy to chat with when arranging the trial and was completely clear about pricing from the beginning, which I really appreciated.

The trial itself was fantastic, I felt amazing afterwards and completely at ease throughout. Carly is so friendly and easy to talk to, which made the whole experience even better.

On the day, she was an absolute hero. Not only did she make everyone in the chair feel amazing, but she also went above and beyond to keep everything running smoothly. When things got a little rushed, she stepped in to take bouquets out of water, organise everyone for my first look with my dad and bridesmaids, and generally made sure everyone was in the right place at the right time.

I couldn’t have asked for more — highly recommend!

So grateful that I booked with Carly!

Booking Carly to be the make-up artist for my wedding was absolutely the best decision! She is so talented at what she does and I've never felt as confident as I did after she worked her magic. Every member of my bridal party was thrilled with their make-up and couldn't praise Carly enough. We got so many compliments on the day and the make-up lasted perfectly until the very end of the night, despite all the dancing! On top of her professionalism, Carly is the most lovely person and really put us all at ease. She was like one of the girls and was with us until the very last second, offering to lend a hand and giving advice. I'd 100% recommend Carly again and again

Wedding hair and make up

Carly did mine and two bridesmaids wedding hair and make up in April 2026. Right from the initial enquiry Carly was so easy to chat to, super responsive with any queries and checked in before the wedding date. I had a vague idea of what I wanted but Carly helped to create a look I loved during the trial. I have no idea how but it was even better on the day! Everybody’s hair and make up stayed on all day despite it being a warm spring day and with all the dancing. Carly took the time to understand and listen to what we all liked/disliked with our usual make up to create looks to suit each of us. She was so professional during every meeting and was such a calming presence on the morning of the wedding. She even ended up helping me with my shoes and veil on the day. She also managed to fit me in for my second ceremony the very next day with only a few weeks notice! I cannot reccomend her enough!

Simply the best!

I have no words to describe Carly other than amazing!! From the first time we met at the trial to my wedding day Carly took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted and she paid so much attention to the tiny details even down to the individual eyelash! Carly was a dream to have around on my wedding morning even when I was so stressed she kept the environment calm and allowed me to chill and enjoy the morning, she even rapidly did up all the buttons on my dress! Carly truly helped me to look and feel my best on my big day and I can’t thank her enough!

Amazing, you are in safe hands 🩷

Where do I even begin! From the moment I messaged Carly I knew I was in safe hands, she was professional, organised and just so lovely to chat too. She was flexible around my trial times and replied quickly to messages.
Now the makeup, as someone who doesn't have the first clue about make-up I was worried about what I would have for my big day but with Carly my worries disappeared. She worked with me to get the perfect look, she explained what she was using and how it would add to the overall look. She was so lovely and kind and honestly just the best. I felt stunning on my day and my makeup was flawless and lasted the whole day, even as I danced the night away! She had one bride and three bridesmaids to glam up the morning of and timed everything perfectly. The girls loved their makeup too and all commented how great she was.
I would 1000% recommend Carly for your wedding day, I can't thank her enough for my big day 🩷

Wedding bride

Meeting Carly was hands down one of the best decisions I made for my wedding. From the moment she arrived, her bubbly, warm, and calming personality instantly put me at ease. She is not only incredibly talented and knowledgeable, but she genuinely makes you feel so special, confident, and relaxed on what can be a very emotional day.

Carly was always honest with her ideas and suggestions, which I truly appreciated. Her professional guidance helped everything come together perfectly and made the whole experience completely stress-free. I trusted her 100%, and she absolutely delivered beyond expectations.

She went above and beyond for everyone on the day — making my bridesmaids feel beautiful and included, being so kind and patient with my mother-in-law, and even making my flower girl feel like a little princess. Nothing was ever too much trouble for her.

I cannot recommend Carly highly enough. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, calming, and full of positive energy, Carly is your person. She was such a beautiful part of my wedding day, and I’m so grateful to have had her there 💕✨

Carly is ace, choose Carly!

Carly is a must have and one of the best decisions you will make for your wedding day. Carly’s work speaks for itself on her instagram and I knew after looking through I would love to have her there on the wedding day. As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of make up normally, I really wanted to feel the best version of myself on my wedding day. From my first phone call with Carly, I knew I’d made the right decision and felt completely at ease. On the trial, we worked together to create hair and make up I felt confident in. Carly even took the time to chat with my mum, who was really worried about getting her make up done on the day, as well as checking in with my sister/ maid of honour. All 3 of us came out of the trial feeling happy and confident.
On the day itself, I honestly can’t thank Carly enough. She was the first person in the room bright and early and just has this energy that takes away any nerves you have. It felt like I had another close friend/ member of the wedding party there with me on the morning. As I’ve said to Carly after the wedding, I genuinely believe if we lived near each other, we’d be friends and be sat chilling and laughing together over a glass or two of wine. That’s the amazing, positive vibe of an environment Carly creates for you and your family/ friends on one of the biggest days of your life. If you’re thinking of getting your hair/ make up done for your big day, you’ve found your gal. She’s ace, pick Carly!

The most beautiful I’ve ever felt

I used Carly multiple times for different occasions, so it was an easy choice to hire her for my wedding day. A complete professional, with a friendly approach I felt completely at ease and she delivered exactly the look I wanted and it stayed put all day, even in the Cyprus heat! Highly recommend

Magical MUA

I can honestly say Carly made my morning magical. Not only did she make us all look our best but she has this gift of making you FEEL your best. Carly is absolutely the best MUA I have ever used so much so that me and my girl gang have used her for all of weddings and for the whole bridal party, glam just would not be the same without her. Never have we looked elsewhere since the first time she lined our lips. It’s not just the makeup that she nails every-time she is just a joy to be around, conversation flows, she listens, she advises and she works her wizardry like a true artist. And during her time with you she feels like an extension to the girl tribe, good energy, very easy going, funny and always punctual and well prepared. For years we have joked about booking our weddings around her availability but really we are never joking, from the first time we met Carly all our future weddings and various other events included Carly in the initial planning. She knows what she is doing and works with you to set goals towards what look is best for you and has never failed to make me or any of my wedded friends feel and look their best on their special day. A true Gem and a beautiful human. WOULD RECOMMEND….. obviously.

More than Makeup ❤️

Carly did my bridal makeup, and honestly, it was the best decision ever. She made me feel incredible, look amazing, and the makeup lasted ALL day, ALL night… and looked good the next day too.
Carly doesn’t just do makeup, she brings an energy into the room that instantly puts you at ease. She listens, remembers your chats and stories, and makes you feel like you are having your makeup done by one of your girlfriends while still being completely professional. Her techniques are always up to date, on-trend, and flawless. I recommend her over and over. If you want to look amazing and feel amazing, Carly is your girl.

The Best Make Up Artist ⭐️

I honestly cannot recommend Carly highly enough. She is the best make up artist out there. Carly has done my makeup many times and are truly the best at what they do. From the very first appointment, Carly takes the time to really get to know you, understand what you like, and make sure you feel completely comfortable and confident. Every single time, she makes you feel absolutely amazing, no matter the occasion. Even down to the finer detail of how your make up will complement your dress, bridesmaids dresses and vibe of the wedding. She takes her time and care to make sure your day is extra special.

Carly was the makeup artist for my wedding and also for my friends’ weddings where I was a bridesmaid, and she went above and beyond every single time. Not only is her work flawless, but she brings such a calm, positive energy and amazing vibes to the day, which makes a huge difference—especially on big, emotional occasions like weddings.

Carly’s talent, professionalism, and warmth are unmatched. She is genuinely the only makeup artist I would ever use and recommend to anyone looking to feel their absolute best.

Above all else, Carly is not only an incredibly talented makeup artist but also a truly amazing person. Her kindness, warmth, and genuine care for her clients shine through in everything she does, and having her with you on such special days makes the experience even more memorable

Out of this world!

Carly is one of a kind, the type of person you need in your bridal party on the big day she has everything covered. Down to earth, professional but a great energy. Her make up skills are out of this world and she does exactly what you want even when you dont know what that is. She asks the right questions and constantly checks in to see how she's done.
My make up was UNREAL on the day everyone commented on it, from the glow walking down the aisle to the perfect face at the end of the night. All of my bridesmaids were also so happy with their make up. I have since booked Carly for other events and even done a make up tutorial which was worth every penny. The energy, commitment and perfection Carly brings is second to none. Highly recommend.

Felt a million dollars

Carly is an extremely talented wedding makeup artist, I cannot recommend her highly enough. From my first trial to the big day, I had complete confidence that Carly would make me and my bridesmaids feel a million dollars.
Carly's presence on the wedding morning was just perfect. Her friendly, calm and supportive nature created a stress free atmosphere, allowing me to relax and enjoy the experience.
I am incredibly grateful to have discovered Carly. Even after ten years, I wouldn't change a thing about my wedding hair and makeup, it was truly flawless.
Thank you Carly xxx
