About

Carly Jo Makeup is run by owner and makeup artist Carly Jo from a studio on West 3rd Avenue in Columbus. The business centers on wedding parties and small events, with free parking at the studio and bookings made by appointment only.

Wedding work is organized into packages, from a short courthouse ceremony up to a party of five people including the bride. Each package covers on-site makeup time, a studio preview, skin preparation, lashes, kits and touch-ups, along with wedding guides for the bride. Booking a wedding requires a signed contract and a $1,000 retainer that counts toward the final balance. Services stay at one location on a wedding day, and where the venue allows it, makeup can be done in a bridal suite. There is no second artist for larger groups, but the studio can recommend other artists for parties over five.

Beyond weddings, the studio offers event makeup for occasions such as baby showers, engagement photos and professional headshots, along with add-ons for flower girls, rehearsal dinners and additional wedding party members. Travel within 30 minutes is included, further travel is charged by the half hour, and destinations 1.5 hours or more away carry a flat hotel fee covering a room the evening before. Out-of-state weddings include per diem rates for travel and logistics.

The studio also runs artist education: private one-on-one lessons, mini classes for up to three people, virtual coaching on three chosen topics, and a signature demo day that includes a live bridal application, a lunch and networking break, and a guided hands-on session. For that session, artists bring their own model and kit.

Makeup is approached with a technical, theory-based method, with trends as a secondary consideration. Looks are built around each client's features, style and comfort, with skin care at the center.

The studio aims for a calm, organized and intimate setting suited to small wedding parties.
