  • Starts at $175
  • Serves Redcrest, CA

I am a makeup artist who also offers hairstyling. I’ve been doing makeup for about 8 years and have worked weddings, events, and commercial. I love making people feel beautiful on their big day and enjoy helping make everything run smoothly. I’m very comfortable with different skin tones and types of hair. I can do many different styles of makeup from natural to full glam and airbrush. I’m always staying up to date on recent wedding trends and expanding my skills. I will work with a single bride or a large group!

I was so excited to have Karly as a part of my wedding day. She was open to my requests and delivered a makeup look that felt like me, "just elevated," which was EXACTLY what I asked for. She was punctual and made my bridesmaid comfortable and was a joy to have around. I would recommend her to any friends or acquaintances for their magical day.
