Karly made me feel like an absolute goddess on my wedding day! I cannot recommend her enough for your wedding day makeup! From the moment I met Karly for our trial, her professionalism and talent were evident. She listened carefully to my vision and brought it to life, making me feel not only confident but absolutely beautiful. Karly has such a warm and calming presence, which helped set the tone for our big day! Not only did she do an amazing job with my bridal glam, but she and her assistant worked wonders on my bridal party, my mother-in-law, and my grandmother too. Everyone looked absolutely STUNNING and loved their makeup. Karly made the whole experience so much fun--her energy is contagious, and it is clear that she truly cares about making her clients feel their best. I'm so grateful for her and the beautiful work she did. If you're looking for a makeup artist who is both incredibly talented and a joy to work with, Karly is the one! read more

Karly is literally THE BEST! I was truly blessed to have Karly and her assistant glam me and my bridal party for my wedding day (10/19/24). From the start, Karly was so easy to communicate with and was transparent about everything. When I finally got to meet Karly in June for my trial, I was so thrilled to find that she is just as sweet and kind as she was on email! Her talent truly radiates through her work - she made me feel like a princess. I knew I made the right choice! On wedding day, it was so great to sit in her chair once again and feel so at peace. Her positive energy coupled with her true passion for her work is just what every bride needs. She truly becomes a friend for every client, which is so special. I can't thank Karly enough for making me feel like the most beautiful girl on earth for my wedding day! I hope to have an excuse to book her again in the future! Thank you Karly!!! Will add more photos when they arrive!!! read more

Karly Ann Glam - Makeup Artists Near Me

If I could give Karly more than 5 stars I would! The entire experience was more than amazing and I recommend her always. She is so kind, so patient, very professional, and is incredible at her job. She has done my make up a handful of times and has killed it every time. For example, I was a bridesmaid in a wedding she was hired for (2019), have had two bridal trials with her (2021), my wedding day (2022), and she did my make up for family photos (2022). She will forever be my go to make up artist and I will always recommend her to anyone who asks! read more

Karly is just fantastic at what she does and I am so glad my photographer recommended her. I did my trial for my engagement shoot, because I figured if I was going to be beautiful I might as well make sure it's photographed. Karly did an amazing job for the engagement shoot and gave me what I asked for -- the problem was I had asked for something significantly heavier than I normally wear and ended up hating it. I had hoped to do another trial before my wedding to find (or get closer to) the looked I wanted, but thanks to Covid that never happened. Fast forward to my wedding and I just verbally told Karly what I wanted and how I'm typically most comfortable. And honestly, she just couldn't have done a more perfect job for me - I specify for me, because she is talented in scaling up and down according to how you feel most comfortable and that's really what matters. Plus, Karly was able to fully cover the melasma on the jawline, hiding - at least for one day - what has always been a point of insecurity for me. All this together, I couldn't have felt more beautiful on my wedding day. And the best part, the makeup literally does not budge. I cried A LOT during my ceremony and I can't believe how great my makeup looks at the reception without even needing a touchup. It's some crazy voodoo magic I wish I could do on my own. Lol On a final note, Karly is just a sweet person and fun to be around / talk to. It's so important to consider that when booking, because you'll be spending a significant portion of one of the most important days of your life with them. She also did a great job with my mom who was super worried about getting her makeup done by someone else and was very sweet when talking preferences with her and making sure she was happy. Honestly book Karly, you'll be so glad you did. Also, do the trial - Karly was able to take my input and give me the exact look I wanted on my wedding day, but I only knew what I wanted because I learned from my trial. read more

There are not enough words to describe how fortunate I was to find Karly and have her help me get though my big day! Planning a pandemic wedding is no joke people, but Karly took one added stress of my shoulders. She was originally booked for my wedding date, but due to a covid cancellation my day became open again! She reached back out to me & informed me she was available so I took the first opportunity to get my contract & deposit in!! We had met 2 months before me wedding and did a trial, she traveled to my home since most places were still closed. She went into great detail when asking what look I was going for & what I did/didn't like in a makeup look. She took EVERYTHING I said to heart and absolutely NAILED it. I knew I had made the right choice in that moment. Come my wedding day she took great care of all my girls and was able to achieve each girls requested look. Some wanted soft neutral glam and others wanted a bold statement look. Each girl looked GORGEOUS. My makeup was spot on to how the trial went and lasted ALL DAY AND NIGHT. Through the tears and all. Karly was even sweet enough to stick around after first looks to touch up before the ceremony. My friends and I STILL talk about what an amazing makeup artist Karly is. I will ALWAYS recommend her first whenever someone is looking & will hopefully have the opportunity to work with her in the future. Thank you Karly!!! Xoxo Christina read more

Karly was one of the first vendors I booked as soon as we secured our wedding venue - she is pure magic. I knew I wanted her to do my wedding makeup after seeing her instagram even before I got engaged. I booked her super far in advance because I didn't want to miss out on having her, so if you inquire and she has your wedding date open - consider that fate and jump on that opportunity. She made everything so easy; she listened to me and understood what I envisioned for my big day even though I had trouble putting into specific words. I showed her so many makeup inspo photos and she was able to blend everything together and glam me up just as I dreamed. From initially reaching out, officially booking her, scheduling my trial and up to my wedding day she has been nothing short of amazing. She truly went above and beyond to work with me. She was always kind, responsive and honestly such a beautiful person on the inside and out. Karly is a natural, humble, talented professional and I feel so honored to have had her glam me up on my wedding day. I felt beautiful, confident and relaxed on my wedding day. Her energy is very calming and honestly you need that on your wedding day!! Thank you for everything Karly! I will forever recommend you! read more

Hands down, Karly is THE BEST. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist on my wedding day! Not only is she insanely gifted and delivers flawless work, she is also so sweet and I felt so comfortable having her there while we were all getting ready. When she showed me my completed look, I literally started crying. People always say you should feel the most beautiful you've ever felt in your life on your wedding day - Karly will make it happen! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my perfect day even more perfect with your amazing talent! I will forever recommend Karly to anyone for any special occasion!! read more

Karly Ann Glam - Makeup by Karly - Makeup Artists Near Me

I was the girl that thought about the PERFECT wedding since I was small... so as you can imagine, when the time came to select my vendors, I not only looked for vendors that had great work, but also a welcoming personality! It was my big day! I wanted to make sure the people that surrounded me, made me feel beautiful, calm, comfortable and confident! Karly did just that! Karly was extremely patient and friendly and did AN AMAZING JOB! She made me feel like I was the most beautiful bride on one of the most important days of my life! I showed her a combination of photos (because of course I couldn't choose just one) and she pulled it all into one look and I was absolutely obsessed! You absolutely have to book with her! read more

Karly was an absolute pleasure to work with! I found her via Instagram and was instantly excited to request her booking rates for my wedding. Karly responded and got me all the info I needed so quickly. I locked her in for my date and was set to go! Through the whole time leading up to the wedding, she was always so communicative and responsive. We met for a trial and I was so happy with how the trial went. I even went on an unplanned hike near the beach and my makeup did not budge! Karly is a great artist and you will be glad you book her if you do. She's very professional and so punctual! We had a very early start time (5AM) for my wedding and at 4:45AM she was there to get ready for set up. She even remained calm with my difficult mother lol. In total, we had 7 people get makeup done by Karly and her assistant. I can go on but to keep it simple she's great, you will not regret it! Thank you Karly for being so sweet and amazing! read more

Karly was the MUA of my dreams! Seriously! Not only is Karly INCREDIBLE at her craft, but she is also so professional, fun, and so sweet! She knew exactly how to deliver on the subtle glam that I wanted for my wedding look. But, really it wasn't my makeup that I was impressed with, it was my sister's makeup. My sister took a big spill a few days before the wedding and ended up with a gnarly black eye, scabs, etc. It was ROUGH! Karly worked some magic that frankly, I didn't think was possible and made it look as if my sister was unscathed (see Karly's IG for the before and after, it's amazing)! On top of it all, Karly did a beautiful job with all sorts of skin types and skin ages...the moms looked amazing, as did everyone else (peep the attached pics for examples of my mom and sister's makeup)! You will not regret booking Karly, she's truly an incredible artist. read more

If you are looking for not only the most amazing makeup artist but also the sweetest human, look no further. Karly is such a blast to be around and she's phenomenal at what she does. The only makeup I wear is mascara and a little brow pencil so when I say that makeup is intimidating, I mean it. Not only did the makeup feel weightless, but I also felt like a model. I was worried about looking like a "clown" but Karly only enhanced my natural features so that when I looked in the mirror, I looked like myself. I kind of gave her an idea of what I wanted and she absolutely nailed it. Even when I pulled an audible on my wedding day, switching it up from the trial we did at my engagement shoot. Hurry up and contact Karly because she books up fast! You won't regret it. read more

I got married last year and Karly did my make up and I can't believe I never wrote her a review!!!!! But imma do that right now because she's freaking amazing and deserves all the praise!!! Karly provided make-up for myself, and my bridesmaids, and I couldn't have been happier with the results. I know everyone else was equally satisfied. She has a wonderful eye for color, respectfully listens to your requests, and moves throughout the getting-ready period of the day with a calm, collected stress-free attitude. She was on time and ahead of schedule! Our wedding was out in Ramona and kinda hard to get too, but she got there on time, and called me to ask if she was at the right place a few times because i wasn't awake when I told her to be at the house we were all at LOL. My bad girl (still feel bad, but she was so sweet about it) read more

Karly Ann Glam - Makeup Artists Near Me

Where to begin...I was scrolling through Instagram looking for makeup artists and found Karly's page. Immediately I messaged her & booked my trial. My trial went amazing & I looked SO fab!! I love how detailed and patient Karly is. She truly cares about her craft, and it shows. Leading up to my wedding day, Karly sent me texts over how excited she was. It really made me feel like she cared and that I wasn't just "another" wedding she had scheduled. On my wedding day, she was early, offered to buy my Starbucks (so sweet) and made everyone so comfortable. Everyone felt so beautiful after they got out of her chair, especially me. On my wedding day I felt like the most beautiful version of myself and I am forever grateful for Karly. Do yourself a favor and BOOK HER! read more

I am so thankful I found Karly! She was nothing but sweet and responsive throughout the whole planning process. During the trial, she recognized that I was a bit hesitant about makeup and wearing too much of it so spent extra time to make sure I liked it before leaving. She was extremely punctual throughout the wedding day and my bridesmaids all loved their makeup - which is rare! Thank you Karly!!! :) read more

Karly is the sweetest, most professional makeup artist I have ever worked with. She REALLY knows what she is doing and is so kind and personable through everything step of the process. She even helped me secure a great hair stylist for our big day as well. She is very well connected and known in the southern CA beauty industry. She worked with me from day one to make the perfect schedule and a handful of revisions for ALL my bridesmaids/mothers. Her talent with makeup is also out of this world! All of us ladies looked picturesque the ENTIRE day (even lasting to the next morning). Her application will not go anywhere. She glammed us all up beautifully. I'm so grateful to have gotten to work with her!! read more

Karly was amazing!! With the trial, I knew she'd do a great job on the big day. My makeup truly lasted through the end of the wedding night - my new husband even told me it looked like I just had it done after 12 hours of wear, lol. It made me sad to take it off! She knew exactly what colors looked best for me and made my vision come to life. The whole wedding morning went smoothly and made me feel such at ease, even with my giant wedding party! read more

When researching make up artists for my wedding, it was really important for me to find someone who would apply make up that complemented my tan skin tone. I had bad experiences in the past with make up artists who tried to make my face look lighter than my actual skin color. When I looked through Karly's instagram, it comforted me knowing she had done make up for women of diverse skin tones. Karly did such an amazing job with my wedding day make up, and she made my bridal party and family look so fabulous, as well! My friends and I keep wishing that Karly could do our make up everyday so we could look that fab everyday! She also did my make up for my wedding rehearsal dinner on short notice, and I felt like a celebrity after she did my make up. Karly was very responsive in her communications with me, and she showed up on time on the wedding day. Last minute, my cousin requested if she could also get her make up done, and Karly was flexible in accommodating her. I will definitely be going back to Karly over and over again for future events :) read more

Karly literally saved my wedding. My original makeup artist canceled on me 4 days before my wedding. After a lot of crying, my husband found Karly on the Knott and she so happened to have had a wedding postpone on my date! She was so sweet and nice to me on the phone that I booked her on the spot and thank god I did. She was so professional and got all 8 of us done ahead of time. If I am being honest she even did a better job than my original artist. Thank you so much Karly!!! read more

BOOK WITH KARLY! Not only did she flawlessly execute 11 high maintenance women's makeup, she was so much fun to have around! Karly is so professional and so talented. After looking at Karly's work all over social media I didn't think I needed a trial run, and although I was a little nervous that we didn't do one I KNEW Karly was going to take care of my face, AND SHE DID! She did an amazing job - my bridesmaid and I has the most gorgeous makeup. Karly was very in tune with what I wanted done, and what kind of makeup my bridesmaids wanted as well. I would recommend Karly every single time someone asks me for a make up artist. Hoping I have another event soon just so I can book her again! read more

I was referred to Karly by a friend who used her glam services for her wedding and she did not disappoint. After our trial I immediately knew she was the artist I wanted to use not only because her work is immaculate and I felt like an absolute super star but she is also so sweet and conversational. She made me really comfortable upon meeting her and then the trial was seamless. We did have a large bridal party so she brought in an assistant, Ali and she did not disappoint either. Everyone's make up was absolutely stunning and lasted all evening! And I mean that! Through the sweating during the thousands of photos, ceremony, dancing, drinking, etc. everything stayed perfectly with maybe a light powder and lipstick touch up. Another thing I will note is if you are skeptical about using false lashes...DON'T BE. I teared up a few times during photos, the ceremony and our speeches and those bad boys did not come off, not even in the corners. I took them off the next morning and was amazed how intact they still were. I am so glad I booked Karly a year in advance because she is a very sought after artist and if you are looking to feel like Beyonce fabulous, Greek goddess on your big day or for any event, you need to get on it and contact her! Sadly, I only took one photo of my own face but I have attached photos of my bridesmaids for reference and might I say....they look fabulous. read more

Karly was one of the first makeup artists I looked at for my wedding makeup when my original artist flaked on me about 3 months before my wedding. I was super overwhelmed and freaked out and Karly was amazing about getting back to me in a timely manner, sending me an outline of how she would makeup all 7 of my bridesmaids before my early afternoon timeline AND change locations with us. She even allowed me to add on my mom later down the line and fit her easily in her timeline. I was not able to do a makeup trial and she absolutely blew me away with my face! I have never liked my makeup more and I will definitely be getting my face done by her anytime I have the chance for special occasions. The best part though was watching my girls' faces and my mom's face as they looked at themselves after she finished their makeup. She had my whole party feeling like their best selves! Karly is such a warm, calming presence. She was so great to work with and it was a pleasure to have her as my makeup artist! read more

I should start by saying that I love makeup and felt as though I was rather picky selecting a wedding makeup artist. I'm not a professional, but I really love the art behind makeup. Karly was absolutely incredible! She listened to what I was looking for, and encouraged me to make my wedding makeup exactly what I wanted - even though it was a bit more glam. She was super professional: on time, extremely pleasant and went above and beyond with the makeup look she gave me. If I'm ever in the San Diego area and have another event that requires photography, I wouldn't hesitate booking Karly! She's amazing! read more

Karly is a GEM. She was extremely attentive and responsive which is a bride's DREAM. My wedding morning was super hectic and Karly was sweet enough to come at 6am to start getting the girls ready so that our photo timeline wouldn't get messed up. On top of Karly coming so early, we ran behind and she patiently waited and never once made me or my girls feel bad about having her wait. Her make up is PHENOMENAL. Seriously you guys, I have extremely oily skin and my eyeshadow always creases, my make up that day DID NOT BUDGE ALL NIGHT! Among a million reasons why you should hire Karly one of the big reason why is that she is SO GOOD at enhancing your natural features so you don't feel like you're wearing a "different face" or that you have a pound of make up on that day! Lightweight feeling with full coverage, while enhancing your natural features?! YES PLEASE. Honestly, invest in your "look" that day with Karly! The camera will love you for it! read more

Karly is simply amazing! First off, she is very professional and always has a quick response time (which is extremely important when planning a wedding). Second of all she is such a kind beautiful person that will make you and your bridesmaids feel at ease! Last but not least lets talk about the makeup. One of the things that I really loved about Karly is how perfectly she matched my vision of what I wanted my wedding makeup to look like. She really listened to my likes/dislikes and was very open to change anything that I didn't love. She took her time with everyone yet was on time and at some points even ahead of schedule. If she was rushed or stressed about the timeline she didn't show it. All of our makeup was stunning and I felt gorgeous! read more

Loved using Karly Ann Glam for my wedding makeup. She has done my makeup for numerous occasions... for other people's weddings, my bachelorette party, photo shoots and more. Karly listens to everything you tell her you want, and don't want. She pays attention to detail, and can make you feel beautiful without overdoing it. She wrote down everything we used for my Bridal Trial, so she knew exactly what she was doing day of. I felt like myself on my wedding day, not too much, just enough! But for other occasions I've wanted a more dramatic look, and she nails that too! She's the sweetest and funniest, and I love spending time in her chair. She's my go to girl for sure.

I found Karly and her amazingness on The Knot and I'm so happy I did. I had planned a full blown wedding in 6 weeks which was crazy but she was so flexible. I inquired with Karly but just hadn't had a chance to make an appointment or really even get back to her, then she followed up with me to see if I still needed her services which I definitely did. She was so flexible in scheduling a Sunday trial run as that was the day I was having my engagement photos. I love the make up, it came out beautifully she was also insanely cool just to vibe with and work with. Then the day of the wedding she brought such good energy to my ladies and I. I loved how my makeup turned out and I would use her and recommend her anytime. Thanks Karly read more

Words cannot describe how amazing Karly is. For a girl who doesn't wear much makeup, I was worried about how I would look with a full glam. BUT SHE DID AMAZING!! She knew exactly what I wanted even though I didn't have the words to describe it. Everyone in my bridal party was SO pleased with their make up as well. The best part...it stayed on perfectly throughout the night! We had sunshine, rain, wind, tears and sweat on the dance floor but our makeup looked just as perfect at the end of the night.

HANDS DOWN Karly is the most phenomenal make up artist I've had the pleasure of working with. Being a wedding coordinator myself, I understand the importance of makeup for photos. But not only that, a brides overall confidence on her big day, is largely contingent on how she looks and feels. I chose Karly for my wedding day knowing that she was an absolute professional- even knowing that, she completely blew me away. She was patient, detail-oriented and SO fun to work with. I looked like the best version of myself on my wedding day, and I can never give Karly enough thanks and praise for giving me confidence on the most important day of my life. There is truly nobody else I would ever choose to glam me up. Thank you, Karly! A makeup angel! read more
