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

My Wedding Day Makeup: Flawless from 'I Do' to the Last Dance ❤️

From the moment I walked into your pod for my hair and makeup trial I knew instantly that I had chosen the perfect artist to be with me on the morning of my big day. You truly were my calm in the storm and I will be forever grateful for the calming energy that you brought into the room. From full on meltdown minutes before starting my makeup you managed to turn me into the princess I always dreamt of being on my wedding day. My hair and make up were flawless and remained through all the tears and dancing away into the night. I cannot thank you or show appreciation enough for how grateful I truly am, Carly is not ‘just’ a hair and makeup artist, she really is the person you want with you on the morning of your biggest day ❤️

Fabulous - highly recommend

I couldn’t recommend Carly enough. From the moment I met her at my trial I knew she was a bit of me. Cared, listened and delivered.
My make was absolutely flawless on my wedding day. No touch up required all day/night. Bridesmaids and mother of the bride looked stunning too.
I would highly recommend her for any event, especially your special day. Perfection ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

The best part of my wedding morning ☺️

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup artist for my wedding day. From the moment she arrived, she radiated warmth and friendliness - an absolute ray of sunshine. I’d been feeling quite anxious about the wedding, but she completely put me and my bridesmaids at ease. Her calm, positive energy made the whole morning feel relaxed, and by the time I was ready to walk down the aisle, it felt like she should have been a guest!
I’m so grateful the algorithm led me to her because she was truly the best part of my wedding morning. There is no one I would recommend more - she’s not only incredibly talented but also one of the loveliest people you’ll ever meet.

I wouldn’t trust anyone else

From being a wedding guest, to nights out, hen do, to my own wedding, and then baby shower - Carly has been at every major life event and I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do my hair and make up. She always gets the vision perfectly and effortlessly makes me feel incredible every time. As well as being the bubbliest / friendliest light in the room. Would recommend Carly to anyone 🤍

Beyond talented and an all round lovely person

Carly was one of the first vendors I booked and I knew straight away she was going to help make my day perfect. From the start she was in regular contact to help me, made my trial feel so special and took the time to encourage changes to ensure I was completely happy with the look as well as helping me with skin care recommendations leading up to the wedding (acne sufferer). On the wedding day she went above and beyond her job role and not only did an amazing job on everyone's makeup making them feel beautiful and confident but also helped created a calm and happy morning with conversation to help calm nerves- side note she also helped save the day mending my wedding dress after she was technically done! I look back on my wedding day photos and feel beautiful thanks to Carly's expertise- if you are looking for someone who will help make your day perfect I couldn't recommend her more ♥️

The artist you NEED for your wedding day

Carly was the only person I considered for my wedding day. I’d had my makeup done by her a few times before as a bridesmaid or for an occasion and I’d never felt more glam! It was the perfect decision as not only did I feel amazing but she brought such a fun vibe to my morning. I don’t have many events I need my makeup or hair done for these days but she remains the only one I trust - can’t recommend her enough!
