I grew up in Poulsbo and have always had a love for this area and the people that live here. My love for makeup began when my husband and I first moved out on our own. My mother being a musician, I have always been a creatively driven person. In school I was always involved in music and theater. Lacking a creative outlet upon graduating, I began experimenting with makeup. Now I am thrilled that I get to do something I love everyday and ultimately hope to continue to help everyone feel like the best version of themselves!

Carolyn was amazing! She did two different trials with me and helped me figure out exactly what I wanted. My bridesmaids and I looked absolutely gorgeous on the wedding day. She was fun to have in the getting ready room. I would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Carolyn!

Carolyn was the first makeup artist I've ever hired and she really has set the standard for me. The attention to detail and the care that was given to me and my party was perfect! My party looked stunning and my mother looked flawless and I felt like a princess. The description of what I wished for our looks was brought to life by Carolyn. I would recommend Carolyn to anyone and everyone! 100% pleased with everything.
Any questions?

Carolyn was absolutely amazing to work with and made me look amazing on my special day! She is so kind, thorough, and diligent with sanitation. My trial went her ran smoothly and perfectly and the day of made sure to ask if I liked everything from the trial and if I wanted to change anything. She made sure I was looking perfect for my first look photos and left me with a little touch up bag. On top of all of that, she’s just a lot of fun to be around and really helped with adding good energy to the getting ready room. I can’t recommend her enough!!

My MOH and I hired Carolyn as our makeup artist for my wedding this past weekend. The trial went great and I was very excited to have her do my makeup. Come the day of the wedding, 15 minutes after she was supposed to arrive, I get a text from her asking to resend the location as she thought she was in the wrong place. I then get a call from my planner saying that Carolyn went to Port Gamble when my wedding was in Monroe. The complete opposite direction. She apologized to my MOH and said that she never got the change of address for the wedding when there never was one. The venue had always been the same, and not only did she get the location from us when my MOH first contacted her, but she also got it from us during the trial, as well as from my planner the couple weeks before the wedding so I am really not sure why she thought there was a location change. She did refund my MOH all her money back so we are thankful for that. Just incredibly disappointed in how this played out as I then had to scramble to figure out a couple hours before the start of our photos, how to get my makeup done when I didn't bring any of my own as I was expecting it to be done by her. She never apologized to me, just to my MOH.

Hi Sabrina,
Thank you for the honest feedback. I am genuinely sorry and did everything I ...
could day of to try and get an artist out there for you. I am sorry for not reaching out to you directly to apologize, I just thought that may add more even more stress. I showed up to Port Gamble and started setting up at 11am because that was that was what was in my notes and could not find any other address you or the MOH had sent me. After 15 minutes I realized I may be in the wrong spot and that’s when I reached out to you and the day of coordinator. If memory serves correctly that was the original location when you first contacted me last year and we briefly talked about the location changing at the trial. That was months before the wedding and do not have any record of us talking about a location after that. I again apologize that this happened and will take this as a learning opportunity. Know that I and taking this to heart and am genuinely sorry. I will also be making changes to my business practices to insure that this never happens again. For example, I will no longer be taking appointments or discussing details in person or over the phone without immediate follow up. I will also be implementing mandatory contracts and day before follow ups with no exceptions. I hope you still had amazing wedding in spite of this and genuinely wish you all the best.
Thank you,
Carolyn

Carolyn was such a joy to have as our makeup artist for our wedding! I am really not someone who wears makeup, and typically feel overdone when I get my makeup done by someone else, but Carolyn did such an amazing job giving me a natural feeling look for my wedding, and worked with me to make it how I wanted it along the way. I felt perfect! She is so sweet, attentive, professional and I would recommend her again and again!

Carolyn was amazing and did such a wonderful job for my wedding. She is incredibly kind, and worked so hard to ensure everyone felt happy and confident. I had a large group, so she brought her friend Donna, and both did such a great job. Could not recommend Carolyn more! Thank you so much. :)

Carolyn did an excellent job with my wedding makeup. She listened well to what I wanted, and responded to any feedback I had after our makeup trial. The makeup lasted so well throughout the evening, and I felt so confident and beautiful wearing it. We also had a great conversation while she was doing my makeup! I would highly recommend Carolyn for any makeup needs.

Carolyn did a fantastic job with my wedding makeup. I have never had my makeup done before, and frankly gave her little to go on, but she did an incredible job that I was very happy with (as was my bridal support squad). I appreciated her taking the time to make sure we got something I was happy with. She was always quick to respond and easy to get along with the whole time. I would fully recommend her for anyone in the Seattle area!

Hired Carolyn Lovely to do makeup for a professional photo shoot and could not have been happier with get professionalism, knowledge and makeup artistry. On time and prepared for anything, very clean and just a joy! She's so upbeat and calm you can't help but feel more relaxed and calm with her on your team for any event. Wish I could have this talent woman do my makeup everyday and I will definitely hire her again!
