Samantha was beyond amazing to work with, book her immediately! She did my friends wedding years ago and when I started to plan my wedding i knew i wanted her! Not only is she very professional and knowledgable, she's the sweetest and so easy to talk to. She really listened to what i wanted and any concerns i had, and she put my mind at ease. She has great tips for prepping skin before the wedding too, i really had no doubt that i was in good hands. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, my makeup was flawless!
Samantha was a dream to work with! I felt so beautiful on my special day, even after being on the sweaty dance floor all night. She was professional, kind, open to feedback and very talented. Thank you so much!
Sam was absolutely amazing! I was obsessed with my make up and everyone kept commenting on it and asking me who did it. Sam is extremely caring and kind. She listens to her brides and delivers exactly what your vision is. I will absolutely book her for any event i need make up for in the future!
Sam is an absolute gem! Choosing Sam as my makeup artist for my wedding was an easy decision & a great one! Not only is she amazing at her craft, but she is incredibly sweet and friendly. She will make you feel beautiful & so comfortable. She is incredibly organized, professional, and a very clear communicator. When getting married, all of these things matter when selecting vendors. Sam & her team truly made myself & bridal party look & feel our absolute best! You should have full confidence booking her for your special day! It is a choice you will not regret.
Samantha and her team are excellent. They are professional, kind and extremely good at what they do. Brittany and Alyssa worked my wedding. I loved my makeup and it literally lasted from around 9am when they applied it to around 12/1am when my wedding ended. Samantha was also very communicative and helpful with tips and recommendations.
I was lucky enough to meet Samantha a few years back when I was a bridesmaid in another wedding. After my first experience working with her, I knew I’d call her for my own wedding someday. So the minute I was engaged, I knew I needed to book Samantha to be my make up artist. She is one of the kindest people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting and is truly exceptional at her craft. She is so detail oriented and went over every aspect of my look in our preliminary communications and trial appointment, making sure I was completely happy every step of the way. My wedding day makeup was flawless and my entire bridal party looked incredible. I also booked Samantha for trailing services and it is an absolute lifesaver if you are a crier like I am. She made sure we all looked perfect right up until it was time to walk down the aisle. I don't know what I would have done without her. I cannot recommend Samantha enough to anyone looking for a skilled makeup artist for a wedding or special event.
I truly cannot thank Sam enough for blessing me with her makeup talents on my special day! Sam went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable with getting my makeup done again after having a bad experience my first time around. Through my trial appointment all the way up until the big day she was by my side meeting all of my needs and making my vision come to life! Sam and her team worked so well together, were so personable, and were extremely organized. Every teacher's dream team! My makeup was absolutely perfect. It did NOT move through the rain, sweating while dancing, and even throwing up before reception due to a nervous stomach. She truly is your MUST use makeup artist. I truly cannot recommend her and her wonderful team enough!
WOW!!!! Samantha Carly is a must for your wedding day glam! I couldn't believe how she transformed me into the princess I was trying to be. She was so amazing to work with, extremely professional, prompt, kind, and overall a makeup goddess. On the wedding day, we discussed what I did and what I didn't like during the trial. My concerns about my sweaty forehead ruining the foundation, how I wanted my concealer, my eye makeup, and she even was willing to us my specific blush product. I am so beyond happy with how my make up turned out, and it lasted all night. Additionally, my bridesmaids all looked amazing! I highly recommend Samantha Carly for your wedding!
I highly recommend Samantha and her team. She is so talented, professional, and also the biggest sweetheart. All of my girls looked absolutely gorgeous.
Samantha is absolutely AMAZING! Not only is her work impeccable, but she is so personable, professional, and responsive. She came recommended to me and fully exceeded all expectations. I cannot say enough amazing things about her. BOOK HER NOW!
Sam and her team were extremely fun and easy to work with. Sam is professional, responsive, so sweet, and absolutely talented. They helped make the getting ready process efficient and stress free and were overall wonderful people to work with!
Samantha is such a wonderful, kind, caring makeup artist! The moment I met her she was so sweet, kind and very professional! I was recommended her by a friend and I am so glad I chose her for my wedding along her partner Sam by bridesbysette! All her sweet comments and always reminding me when my appointments were made me less stressed about wedding planning! I had no idea what I wanted to do with my makeup for the wedding since I’m not big on doing makeup and she was so supportive and helpful finding my perfect look! I truly recommend her for makeup and also her partner Sam as well for hair they make a wonderful team and made the day of wedding and makeup trial so much fun! Thank you again for making my wedding look come to life! You are truly amazing!
Samantha and her team were amazing to work with from planning, to the trial and ultimately the wedding day. Lead artist Brittany was super friendly and made my wedding morning so much fun! My makeup looked beautiful and lasted all night. Would highly recommend working with them.
Samantha was a dream to work with leading up to and on my wedding day. We connected instantly and she is such a kind soul that truly appreciates honest feedback throughout the entire process and wants you to feel your best. She took my inspiration photos and brought them to life with some adjustments along the way to achieve the perfect look that made me feel so beautiful and confident! I keep looking back at photos because I was so in love with the look she put together. Sam and her second artist made the morning of my wedding day so seamless and it made the day that much more enjoyable! I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you for everything, Sam!!
Samantha is truly amazing at what she does! She is so sweet, communicates well, and makes sure you are happy with everything she does along the way! I have never felt so beautiful!
I can’t thank Sam and her team enough for the amazing work they did for me and everyone in my wedding getting there makeup done. I felt so beautiful
From day one, Samantha has been amazing to work with! Before booking, she offered a very thorough phone consultation and answered all of my questions. She was always prompt in getting back to be where it was through email or text, and she took detailed notes during all of our conversations.
Samantha did a beautiful job on my makeup for my bridal shower, and we were able to make tweaks during my trial appointment. The day of our wedding Samantha and her team arrived right on time and we're such a pleasure to work with! They really helped to keep the morning moving along smoothly, and myself and the bridal party were all ready ahead of schedule for the photographer's arrival. During my application she walked me through step by step as she worked, and I couldn't be more in love with my wedding makeup. I truly can't recommend Samantha and her team more!
So professional, yet personal. BEAUTIFUL makeup and the sweetest person ever. Go to her instagram if you have any doubts and you’ll see just how amazing she is!!
Samantha was recommended to me by a friend for my engagement party makeup, and after that day, I soon booked her for every other wedding event – photoshoots, bridal shower, and of course my wedding. Sam is honestly one of the kindest and genuine people I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. She is extremely talented and professional. She made me feel my absolute best by the end of every application. My entire bridal party loved their makeup and her team. On my wedding night, I couldn’t believe my makeup looked like she just finished applying it, even after all the tears, pictures in the rain, dancing, etc. I truly cannot express what a great choice she would be for your wedding!
Working with Samantha was amazing right from the start. From our initial consult call right until my wedding day she was sweet, accommodating and professional. She kept in touch and was so responsive in the months leading up to my wedding and sent touchpoint emails throughout, so I felt very comfortable reaching out to her, if needed.
She even recommended an amazing hair stylist to work with as I was still in search of one when we talked for the first time. She coordinated my trial with her, so that I could do both at the same time for a complete look!
At my trial, Samantha was patient with my requests and wonderful about making changes where I wanted them. She encouraged honesty and I appreciated that!
She developed a schedule for the wedding morning for all the women getting their makeup done with me and she kept us on time and relaxed that day, along with her second artist Brittany. I even wanted to change my lip color last minute and she was totally on board! I chose trailing services so I could get touched up before the ceremony and Sam came to my venue and made sure I was all set right before walking down the aisle.
I am so glad I met Samantha and decided to work with her for one of the most important days of my life. I felt beautiful! My makeup lasted over 12 hours and photographed so well (and it was lightweight, as if I wasn’t even wearing any). I am so happy and impressed!
I will tell anyone who wants to hear it how lovely she is and I HIGHLY recommend working with her for bridal makeup and more.
Thank you so much, Samantha! You are the absolute BEST. xo
Samantha saved the day for us — 2 months out from the wedding we needed a new second artist and I was very nervous, I wanted someone great for my girls. I reached out to Sam, and she had a recent cancellation and was able to make our date work. She made all my girls feel and look absolutely stunning. She is so sweet too, which is a huge plus when you’re getting ready. We loved having her on our day. Would 1000% recommend her for all of your makeup needs, you will look beautiful in her hands.
Samantha Carly LLC was an absolute dream to work with for my wedding day! Right after I put in my initial inquiry and read Samantha's first response back, I knew right then and there she (along with her team) would be doing my makeup on my big day. Not only is she the sweetest, but she walked me through what I needed to do to have and keep clear skin leading up to my wedding day. For someone like me, I wanted just enough makeup to enhance my natural beauty rather than being unrecognizable come the day of, and she nailed it, I could not have been happier with the results. I decided to have her touchup my makeup mid-day right before the reception and it was the best decision ever! Looking back almost a year later, I truly appreciated the mini mid-day touch up to sit down for a few, with her bubbly personality, and to take the day in while doing a quick lip color change and adding in some hairspray.
2023 & 2024 brides - this is your sign to work with Samantha Carly LLC on your wedding day. You will cherish every moment with her during the process and you will look stunning, hands down, as her own beauty shows through her work!
Samantha Carly is so sweet and talented. I was very happy with my makeup and so were my bridesmaids!
Samantha is AMAZING!! I ended up working with her for my wedding by chance, but now I know it was fate. Samantha is extremely organized and on top of things. She makes planning easy. During my trial she was very helpful and receptive to everything that I had wanted. My wedding was on a hot August day and all photos, and the ceremony were done outdoors. My makeup did not move for the entire night. It lasted through all my photos, the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after party. It lasted through ALL the sweat, tears, eating and drinking. Not only for me, but my entire bridal party and moms as well. They all looked incredible, and their makeup had lasted all night long. From now on I will be running to Samantha for any future makeup needs.
Samantha was an absolute ANGEL. From start to finish she was incredible. Easy to communicate with, followed up quickly with emails, understood exactly what I wanted, and more. She was precise with her details and accommodated all of my needs. All of my bridesmaids were raving about how much they loved their makeup. I've never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. If I could work with Samantha every day I would. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
Samantha was amazing for my wedding! My makeup was perfect and I was getting compliments all day! If I ever need my makeup done again, she's the first person I'd call!
Samantha did my makeup for my cousins wedding and it was absolutely stunning. Samantha is such a talented young woman and her technique is perfect. She used the perfect amount of blush and makeup looked flawless, even after having it on for 12+ hours! I 100% recommend Samantha for any/all events in the future. I definitely will be using her for my wedding one day!
I truly feel so lucky to have had Sam as a part of my wedding day. From the very first time we spoke (about a year out) she completely understood my vision and I immediately felt like I was working with a personal friend. She WOW'd me in my trial - I did not have a single critique because she is THAT GOOD. The morning of my wedding ran so smoothly, we were even ahead of schedule (said no bride ever)! Sam and her team made all 14 of my bridesmaids and family members feel like the most gorgeous versions of ourselves. Everyone raved about this glam squad and I cannot help but feel so blessed that Sam was recommended to me for my big day. She really listens and understands when you say you like/dislike things and she is able to balance natural beauty and bridal glam in such a tasteful way. If you are looking for a dependable and incredibly talented makeup artist, run don't walk to her instagram page and see for yourself!
I met Samantha for my bridal makeup trial and I absolutely fell in love with her work. Not only is she so incredibly sweet, her work speaks of her talent. I ended up hiring Samantha for my wedding day for myself and my bridal party. She was on time (a bit early, actually!), she was prepared, and even talked me through some of my wedding-day nerves. 5/5 would recommend!
Sam was such an amazing makeup artist for my wedding! I loved everything she did and so did everyone in my party! She was so sweet and so helpful! Will definitely use her again for future events!
Samantha was incredible. I have awful skin and she made me look flawless. She is the sweetest person and so easy to communicate with leading up to the big day. I will 100% be using her for any upcoming events and my bridesmaids were so so happy too. 🤍
I first met Samantha about 2 years when I was a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding. I am not a makeup person and always get so nervous getting my makeup done. However, those fears were quickly wiped away with Samantha. She listened to everything I asked for and was a complete sweetheart. I couldn’t believe how much I liked my makeup! So fast forward to planning my own wedding and I knew I HAD to book Samantha. She was incredible and professional during the whole process and all the COVID-19 protocols. My bridal party, mother, and grandmother all used her as well. I cannot even begin to count the number of people at my wedding who stopped to tell me how flawless my makeup was and to inquire who the artist was behind it. Samantha made me look and feel so beautiful for my big day!There is no one else I would trust with my makeup besides her! Thank you so much, Sam! I would 100% recommend booking Samantha Carly!!
Samantha came to me as a recommendation from my original mua when my wedding was postponed and my original mua was not available for the new date.
From our first conversation Samantha was kind, caring, and accommodating. Through many postponements and uncertainties her positive attitude never changed. She made rescheduling and replanning so easy.
At my trial Samantha gave me many tips to get my skin in tip top shape. I would highly recommend scheduling a trial.
Working with Samantha the morning of the wedding was a dream. Her and her second artist made everyone feel so comfortable, and it was like hanging out with friends we've known for years. They had all of us girls looking glam and camera ready!
I can not recommend working with Samantha enough. Everything was amazing!
We had a makeup trial for my daughters wedding with Samantha yesterday. I don’t wear makeup often so my daughter wanted me to do a trial also. Well I can’t say enough about how great she is. Asked so many questions to find out the look my daughter was trying to achieve, and she brought it to life. When it came to me I wanted to try airbrush also, but she explained how you can achieve much better coverage on mature skin with traditional application. She could have just given me what I asked for, airbrush is a more expensive process. This truly speaks to her knowledge, integrity and professionalism. Besides all that she was just the sweetest thing!!!! I highly recommend Samantha for all of your beauty needs.
Samantha did my hair for my wedding in March 2019. She did an absolutely amazing job! The style was beautiful and exactly what I was going for! It also lasted all night and looked just as perfect as it did in the morning. She also did my bridesmaids' hair. They all wanted different styles and she, along with her team, made them all look fantastic! Thank you Samantha!!
My hair and makeup was the BOMB!!!
Initially, I was worried about hiring a non-Chinese person to do makeup for the traditional portion of my wedding. After a trial session, I decided to trust her with my face. Our session was so productive. She listened to my needs and wants. We went through different hair styles that would work both with my traditional Chinese attire for my tea ceremony as well as a classy romantic updo for my bridal dress.
My worries turned out to be unfounded as Samantha and her SamGlamteam did a fantastic job with everyone. My mum and my girls never did a test run, but they all turned out amazing. The airbrush foundation was sooooo on point and blended so well with the rest of their makeup. No amount of heat on that 88 degree day took any make up off.
I had Sam come with her team for a quick touch up for me and my girls prior to my ceremony, and once again, we were perfect again. It was truly to feel pampered to fix a few stray hairs and make sure my lip color was on point, especially from my dress change from a Chinese bright red dress to a simple white dress!
I had a 18 hour day, but my hair and makeup stayed... even when my energy didn't. At the end of the night, I really couldn't be bothered to take off my face. So I resorted to pulling all the pins out of my hair. Even after the entire day of running around and dancing, my updo was as tight as it was that morning. Probably I should not have slept in my makeup, but who cares? The next day, I rolled out of bed for brunch, my makeup was still on point.
You can't go wrong with Sam. She went above and beyond what I thought would be possible to make me stand out on my day!
Absolutely perfect! Samantha was so kind and we looked amazing. My hair and make up lasted until the next morning! We received so many compliments!
Samantha and her team were amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better hair and makeup team. They were so patient and flexible with me and my bridesmaids. They were all so down-to-earth and easy to work with. They are extremely affordable and traveled to me! I definitely recommend her and will be using her again in the future!
Samantha was fantastic! She helped me look exactly the way I wanted to on my wedding day, and my hair and makeup looked great all night. Highly recommend!
Samantha is An amazing and very talented person . She met all expectations, makeup and hair lasted all night . Great job !!!
Samantha did my hair and makeup for my senior prom. She is extremely talented at what she does. She takes the time to listen to exactly what you want and her suggestions are perfect and on point! She truly wants you to look and feel your best. She is very professional, always shows up on time and brings only the best products! She has such a warm personality and I cannot say enough good things about her! My hair and makeup lasted all day and night even with my crazy dancing :) and photographed beautifully! I received so many compliments and I would recommend her 100%!
Samantha was such a seamless makeup/hair artist. I called her a few months before my wedding, explaining the amount of bridesmaids I had and the situation. She came through with flying colors. Extremely affordable, so so pleasant to work with, and does an excellent job, she was a perfect fit for my silly group of maids.
I normally don’t post reviews but I just had to take a moment to say if anyone is looking for a true professional to come to your house (on time, very personable , very accommodating and reasonable prices) than Samantha is the girl for you. We just had my daughter’s communion last weekend and I can not say it enough - how beautiful my daughter’s updo looked. It completed the whole look of her dress and veil as well as how many compliments we received.
Thank you times a million , Samantha for making her day so special !!

Samantha did my makeup so nice it lasted me all night and hours later it still looked as if had just been done. I was so pleased with how it turned out and received so many compliments. I will definitely be getting my makeup done by Samantha again!
From the first moment I met Samantha Carly I knew I found my girl. She was informative, upbeat, professional and well educated on all the latest looks. She presented me with ideas I never thought I would look good in. I looked stunning the day of my trial and AMAZING the day of my wedding. By the time the wedding was over my makeup looked as though it was just applied. She was a total help from the start. Extremely professional!!!! I have recommended her to everyone who is search of the PERFECT makeup artist. I can’t wait to use her again!!!! Thanks Samantha Carly for making me look stunning!!!!!
