Casey was fabulous to work with. She was very responsive to messages and easy to schedule my trial with. Casey listened to the look I wanted and asked questions about the day to ma...
ke sure it fit the overall feel. I was so happy with it and so was my wedding party. Casey also had an upbeat personality and fun to talk to while she was working her magic. 100% absolutely recommend.
Casey is an absolute dream to work with and I can’t recommend her enough. We got married in July 2020 during COVID-19 and I really appreciated how flexible and understanding Casey ...
was. She was willing to work with us on deposits (we had lost money with other vendors), number in bridal party and dates. She immediately put me and my bridal party at ease with how serious she was taking safety precautions (sanitization, mask, air filters, etc.) which meant a lot. Her pricing is very affordable and her quality of work is outstanding. Everyone’s makeup lasted the entire day and photographed so well. I also appreciated that she listened to what everyone wanted and made them (and me!) feel their most confident.
Casey did my makeup for my wedding day. I could not have asked for a better vendor - she was flexible when we had to reschedule and did an amazing job on my makeup. I was apprehens...

emic. Our makeup turned out fabulous. It photographed perfectly and everyone was happy with their work. It made the morning of a breeze for everyone to not have to worry about doing their makeup. Casey listened to my critiques from our trial and listened the day of my wedding. I felt fabulous! I received nothing but compliments on our makeup. When we had to reschedule our wedding they were more than easy to work with. Thank you Casey and Mal for being apart of my special day!

p! Not only was my makeup beautiful, but her COVID precautions and sanitation are wonderful. She walked through her procedure before we started and made it a safe and fun environment for both of us! Highly recommend for any and all makeup needs!
Casey did the makeup for my wedding 2 years ago, and hiring her was one of the best decisions I made for the wedding. I'm incredibly particular about wedding makeup. During the mak...
eup trial I thought, "Okay, so I'm definitely going to hate something." I was shocked to discover that Casey had nailed the incredibly vague... and yet specific... direction I gave her. I didn't want to change a single thing, and I still can't believe how much she made me look like "me" on my wedding day. The photos from the trial showed up as a memory on my phone recently, and I was shocked at how baller I looked. Now I look at those photos any time I need to feel myself. 10 out of 5 would recommend.
Casey is great! Just from the trial I know she will be an incredible asset to my wedding day! She is very detail oriented and really accentuated my natural features - something tha...

I have gone to Casey every time I need my makeup professionally done since I have met her -- including my engagement photos, conventions, etc! If we had been in town for my wedding, she would have done it then too! Casey listens to what you want, gives some ideas, and she goes above and beyond to make sure you are happy!

party looked stunning, our makeup lasted ALL night, the pictures I’ve seen so far look incredible and I couldn’t have been happier!! She was even able to squeeze my mom and aunt in last minute. They weren’t planning on having makeup done, but after seeing her beautiful work they couldn’t wait to get glammed up. I’m so grateful she was able to get everyone done. We Loved our makeup and Casey stayed so calm and collective through it all. Casey is THE BEST!!
Casey was a dream to work with from a planner's perspective! Communicative and professional and always a phone call or email away. Weddings are notorious for last minute changes an...
d she could not have been more flexible or understanding. To top it all off, the ladies looked gorgeous!! The makeup lasted through blood, sweat, tears and rain (literally - all of the above). It was a large bridal party and they were all ready to go with plenty of time, looking beautiful! I highly recommend CD Artistry not only for her work but also for her professionalism. It was great working with her and I hope to work with her in the future! Will recommend to all of my brides.

Casey recently did my make up for my niece's wedding. She not only came to my home super early in the morning so I could travel out of town, she made time for me on a Sunday.
My ma...
keup was done perfectly. I have sensitive skin and rosacea - so no easy task. I'm not sure how she did it but the make up lasted all day and night. I traveled to another city, went to indoor ceremony and an outdoor reception. Every photograph turned out well and the make up did not weaken, smudge or run. I only reapplied lip color throughout the evening. It washed off easily at the end of my marathon day too. Casey is a true professional and stands out from other artists because of her personality. She connects with sincerity and makes the entire experience feel like so much more than a makeup application. She's a beautiful professional and artist.
Casey did an amazing job on my wedding day makeup!! One fear I had was that I wouldn’t look like myself at my wedding, but she knew exactly what I was looking for and delivered per...
fectly. I received so many compliments that I have Casey to thank for. Not to mention she had me, 8 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers to beautify, and she did an amazing job on everyone! From the first conversation, to the makeup trial, and to the day of the wedding, Casey was super sweet and very professional. I highly recommend CD Artistry for your wedding makeup!!
I have used Casey on a few occasions. From the start she listened to my ideas of what I wanted for my wedding and gave me feedback. She is very talented and applied my make-up t...
he way I envisioned. She also was open to any changes that I wanted after she did my make-up in the trial run for my special day. I was given a tremendous amount of compliments by others on my make-up. Not "overdone" and had a natural presentation of make-up.
Casey also did the make-up of 3 junior bridemaids, my matron of honor, and 2 mothers. ALL were ecstatic about the way they looked because of Casey. She is a very talented, energetic, refreshing personality that allows you to feel comfortable and to trust she will make you look fantastic!. I highly recommend her to anyone! Will use her again when needed,
Casey was an absolute dream to work with. From the beginning with emails/texts, a bridal makeup trial, and finally our wedding day, Casey was professional, punctual, and so much fu...
n to be around. She managed to get 12 girls looking fabulous in a minimal amount of time and everyone was so happy with their looks.
I truly can’t recommend Casey enough. If you’re looking for the perfect artist for your wedding day, or any other special event, she’s without a doubt the girl for the job.
Casey did my makeup for my daughter’s wedding in June, and I loved it. I usually have trouble finding someone who can do my makeup in a way that feels appropriate for my age but al...
so ensures that it stands out enough to look good in photos. Casey did both. She listened to what I was thinking and delivered it even more beautifully than I could have imagined. I received so many compliments from friends and family in person and afterward! I highly recommend her for mother’s of the bride and groom, and she did a beautiful job on the bride and bridesmaids’ makeup!
Casey was my makeup artist for my engagement and wedding photos. She was attentive, helped me find what look I was going for, and executed it so beautifully. She knew exactly how t...

My bridesmaids and mom all looked so amazing on the day as well. Having Casey do my makeup put my mind at-ease and made my wedding morning so much fun. I highly recommend her as a professional, talented makeup artist.
