It is my pleasure getting to know such authentic and lovely clients especially when spending time with them before their special event. I am so honored to hear your story - let's get you booked!. My goal is to seal in your beauty to make you look and feel like the best version of yourself. I received my initial Makeup Artistry Accreditation back home in the UK over a decade ago and have never looked back.

Many clients, masterclasses and products later, I stay up to date on current trends whilst always maintaining that classically elegant application. I am now based in sunny San Diego with my husband, 2 daughters and sweet dog and we make the most of this beautiful city in our free time. Hope to hear from you soon, please contact me with any inquiries.

I am so grateful that I found Carly to do my makeup before an important event. My skin had a bad reaction to a brow wax and I needed to hide all of the red bumps. She used her magic tricks and my skin looked flawless! I was so eager to learn from her about how to better care for my skin and she followed up with products she recommends.

Carly was exactly what I wanted in a makeup artist for my wedding. She listened to what I wanted, put all my nerves at ease, and created the exact look I was going for. Her wonderful English accent, responsiveness, and attention to detail are just a few things I found so great about Carly. She gave each of my girls and I cute little bags with touch-up makeup on the day-of too! I cannot wait for another event to come up so I can hire her again.

I am not a girly girl who wears a lot of makeup. Usually some mascara and light lipstick, sometimes some eye shadow. that's it. But of course on my wedding day, I wanted to look beautiful for my husband. He already loves me just the way I am, but I really wanted to look extra special on our wedding day. And of course, photos last forever.

When I met with Carly for my trial, I explained to her that I wanted to still look like me, but a bit more polished. I did NOT want to look like I was ready to walk down the red carpet in Hollywood. She understood exactly what I wanted, and knew what I

Carly is my favorite makeup artist! She listens and really cares about her clients skin, look, event and wants them to feel absolutely beautiful! I have had my makeup and hair done a few tries and I loved it every time! Carly is polite, professional, knowledgeable and takes pride in her work. I would recommend anyone to her and I can’t wait to have mine done again!

Carly did a great job on my makeup. She fixed my flaws and made me feel beautiful. I loved the lashes. I could tell that she really cared about how I felt, and made sure that I was happy with the final look. She was kind and considerate and very professional. Would definitely recommend having Carly do makeup for any occasion!!

I have been working with Carly since the beginning of the year and I am so happy with her. I've worked with many makeup artist for a handful of different reasons, but Carly is a catch-all artist that honestly can do it all. We've done natural for a harbor cruise, makeup for a friend's wedding, and super-glamorous for a night on the town. All-in-all I think I've used her about 5 times already. I really like the makeup that she can do (duh) but I also really like the products she uses, and she will commute to you, which is always nice. Carly is always a pleasure to talk to and hang out with which

Carly is so talented and truly listens to the look I want to achieve. She is always on time and I love that she travels to me. I like that her products are high quality and she is very hygienic. I trust her now to do whatever makeup she wants as I know that she will come up with something that's not too dramatic but polished and last time I also asked her if she could do a simple braid for me and she did a great job.

Carly is not only the nicest person you will ever meet, she truly is an artist with makeup! I have been doing my eyeshadow the same way since I was 12, so I was ready for an update! Carly took her time to consult with me to get an understanding of what I wanted, what I used already and then went to work! Best of all, she took her time to explain the products she was using and how she was using them. She used colors that always scare me to use at home and made my eyes look so beautiful!! She is a miracle worker with concealer and gave me a natural yet covering look with my foundation. She is incredibly

Very professional and dedicated!!

Carly is truly amazing! She really has the magic touch when it comes to makeups. She is such a kind person and very pleasant to work with. I asked her a ton of questions regarding her products and techniques. She had no problem sharing all that she knows. I can tell she is very passionate about her job and takes pride in the work that she does. I will definitely hire her again or recommend her to my friends and family who need their makeup done.
