Personal Shopping (Starting at $150/1 Hour)
Fun fact: While I’ve always been amazed by the transformative and confidence building power of makeup, I originally got into this business because I could not stop shopping and needed an outlet to use my product! Suffice to say, my shopping prowess is impeccable after years of practice. Having been in the makeup business for 12 years, I am incredibly knowledgeable and selective with makeup products. Let me shop with you so that you can benefit from my expertise, and avoid pushy salespeople who may not always have your best interest at heart. We’ll meet at the Eaton Centre (Sephora & MAC), Bay and Bloor (Sephora & Holt Renfrew), Fairview Mall (Sephora & MAC) or a place of your choosing (travel fees may apply) and select the best products for you, while having a ton of fun - because that’s what makeup should be!
Makeup Artist / Professional Level Training
(Customized, Starting at $500)
I’ve been a makeup artist for 12 years and have been running the Carley Artistry GTA mobile beauty boutique for 5 years. I have keyed feature films that have premiered at TIFF, done commercial and headshot work with Forbes 500 companies, and serviced weddings of all cultural backgrounds, for groups of up to 20. I definitely know a few things about the industry and makeup applications for all settings!
Please reach out via email and let us know whether you are just starting your professional career, upscaling your business, or anything in between!

We can also provide tips and tricks for mature skin, different eye shapes, acne cover or colour correction, our signature natural glam, evening glam, straight makeup for tv and film as well as set etiquette, wedding day scheduling, team building, and more.
