Charlotte has been a genuine hair and makeup ANGEL for me in so many high stake scenarios.

The first time we ever worked together was during the recording of a music video which required a lot of moving parts (different looks, working with unique personalities, etc.) it was a high-stress event to say the least! But Charlotte was calm, cool, collected, and went above and beyond. She was incredible and I was obsessed with the way my makeup came out! Charlotte was easy to work with, adaptable to the crazy day, kind, generous with her time, patient (I can be a bit of a diva and pretty picky).

I loved working with Charlotte so much that I hired her years later to do my wedding (Aug 2023)—once again, Charlotte was superwoman on the most important day of my life. My make up was perfect. Plus, she did my hair (curly haired girl with untamable hair) and it looked flawless. Charlotte’s energy was exactly what I needed (grounding, pleasant, kind) and she glammed me up for the big day and stayed throughout the night to provide touch ups when needed. She also did my husband’s hair and it looked awesome!!

I can’t recommend Charlotte enough. She’s worth every penny and more. Having her on some of the biggest days of my life, I can assure you that she’s an absolute rockstar. If you’re thinking about working with her, do not hesitate!!!

I feel so lucky to have found Charlotte and have nothing but positive things to say! After seeing her work on Instagram, I reached out for my wedding makeup. I explained to her that I wanted a natural, modern look that was more fashion week than typical bridal. After conversations before and during my bridal makeup trial, I was confident we were both on the same page. Fast forward to my wedding day, Charlotte did a phenomenal job on my makeup, my bridesmaids and my mom’s. We all looked like the best version of ourselves. Not only is her work beautiful, but Charlotte also has a calming, warm energy that is especially helpful on the morning of your wedding!

After a year of wishing I knew how to replicate my wedding makeup look, I scheduled the makeup class Charlotte offers. Charlotte patiently walked me (a complete novice) through each step and answered all my questions. She instructs by showing technique on one side of your face, and then having you try it yourself on the other. After the lesson, Charlotte takes you to Sephora to assist with the daunting task of finding the right products in the correct tones for your complexion. Charlotte is well versed in which products are best from each company and had no issue working around my request to only use cruelty free cosmetics. Makeup shopping with her felt like I had an incredibly knowledgable friend helping me find exactly what I needed. After the lesson, Charlotte sent me her recommendations for skincare concerns I expressed and a step by step summary of the class. Thanks to Charlotte I feel confident that I can replicate the look we discussed at home as well as experiment with other styles.

Simply AMAZING!! I first found Charlotte via Instagram and saw she did beautiful natural makeup looks, which was exactly what I was looking for, and so I had a trial with her for my wedding day makeup. From the moment I reached out, Charlotte was so kind and responsive. Charlotte did an amazing job during my trial, asking what I liked and didn’t like and truly spent time getting to know my preferences and what I wanted for my wedding day. Fast forward to the wedding: Charlotte did my hair and makeup for my rehearsal dinner and stayed the night to come back the next morning to do my wedding day makeup. For both events, my hair and makeup was absolutely perfect and exactly what I wanted. I wanted a natural look as I don’t like to wear a lot of makeup, but also wanted to look glammed and beautiful for my wedding! She absolutely delivered, my makeup was exactly what I wanted for my big day! Charlotte and her team were on time, stuck to the schedule (they did my makeup & 9 others)! They were amazing and easy to work with, and brought great positive vibes to my wedding morning!! I can’t thank them enough. Best decision ever to go with Charlotte for my wedding day.

Charlotte was INCREDIBLE! From the moment we had our first trial I already knew she was great. She was very patient with me and was determined to make sure I got the exact hair and make up that I wanted for my wedding (which was a 2 day event and we used Charlotte for both!). My Bridesmaids had their make up and hair done by her as well and all of us received so many compliments all day long. I will be contacting Charlotte again for formal events along the way and highly recommend her to everyone! Thanks for making my Wedding weekend so special!

I took a makeup lesson with Charlotte and she was amazing! She does one side of the face and you are able to do it yourself so that you know what to do when you get home. She helped me find which shades work best for my coloring. I recommended Charlotte to my mom and hope to do a follow up lesson with her as well.

Charlotte did my hair and makeup for a portrait photoshoot two weeks ago, and she made me look AMAZING. She listened to exactly what I wanted and gave me better results than I realized were possible (who knew I could look this good!). Bonus that she knows a ton about fashion photography and makeup that works on camera — plus she’s super down to earth and absolutely lovely to work with. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

The wonderful Charlotte did my make-up for my actor headshots. Not only was she convivial and a joy to work with, I was so impressed and delighted with her skill and artistry. I love that she highlighted areas of my face just enough to pop, but she also kept the look natural and flawless. So, I still look like myself (but of course 10x better than I would on the average day). Her work looked beautiful in person and even better on camera! I highly recommend using her services!

I worked with Charlotte when she did my hair and makeup for my headshots a couple of weeks ago. I only have amazing things to say about her! Not only is she insanely good at what she does but she was on time and all set up upon my arrival, cleaned everything before using and was on it for retouches throughout the shoot. Prior to the shoot, she offered to set up a call to talk through my look ideas which was super helpful. She listened, shared her own professional thoughts and brought the looks to life perfectly the day of the shoot. She was super efficient and overall a joy to work with. Would 100% work with her again!

I called Charlotte the same day morning of my photoshoot, and I was super lucky to have her doing my makeup. Not only she was flexible, my make up was also beautiful, flawless. She is sweet, relaxed and made me comfortable. I am really happy with the photoshoot, it also turned out great and going to have awesome pictures.

Thank you for making me feel so beautiful on our special day. Appreciate you very much!

Charlotte has done makeup now for two of my headshot clients and both efforts were superb; natural look, very complimentary, and perfectly tailored for the application (studio photography). The women were so beautifully prepared that it was an extra special pleasure to photograph them and edit the portraits.
Charlotte also has an excellent rapport with my clients. I plan to work with her regularly from now on.

I had a short notice on a photo event and Charlotte came in as an angel to save the day! My daughter was soo happy with the results, specifically the airbrushing which she had never done before. Her makeup lasted all day! Thank you so much Charlotte.

I only have excellent things to say about Charlotte. She did an excellent job of my hair and makeup for the makeup trial and the actual wedding day. She helped me look my best and gave me a soft romantic look that I was looking for. She is a wonderful person: down to earth, realistic but trying to give you what your looking for. She came to my apt and really took care of my look as well as my bridesmaid. It has been a hard time to get married but she really helped to make the process as smooth as possible. Thank you Charlotte!!!!

My experience with Charlotte was beyond my expectations. My makeup was everything that I asked and more for my wedding day. She was amazing 😻
— Jennifer Mendoza, Bride, April 2021, Google review
I loved working with Charlotte! Her instructions were incredibly clear and easy to follow, and she was incredibly supportive and encouraging, providing a wonderful experience for someone who used to be very nervous to do make-up. No longer nervous or afraid of eyeliner or eyeshadow! Thank you, Charlotte!!

Thank you so much for everything. Not only are you excellent at your job but i really enjoyed meeting Charlotte. She was the most sweetest person I have ever met. I loved how the makeup and hair turned out, I’m so grateful for your help.
Love

I took a makeup lesson from Charlotte via Zoom and it was SO informative. She was kind, helpful and very patient with me. My makeup was flawless all day! I could not believe that I did my OWN makeup because I was so happy with the way it came out. I used to “guess” whenever I did my makeup for an elevated every day look or headshots (i’m an actor). Now, I feel more confident in applying makeup than I ever have before and I’m sure I can re-create what I learned. Not only was the actual zoom lesson helpful for my natural, every day makeup techniques (also headshot makeup techniques) she gave me an in depth skin assessment and makeup assessment on what I already had in my makeup bag. From there, she recommended the best products for my skin care and recommendations to add/ replace for my every day makeup. Above and beyond!!

Charlotte did my makeup on Thursday and I couldn’t of been happier with the results! She is super sweet and does a great job! I showed her a picture of a look I liked and she did just that look! She made sure I liked each step of the process , had me look at my eyes , countering , etc and asked if I wanted more or less etc , she made sure I was happy and comfortable with the look. She’s also very personable so that made the experience that much more enjoyable! I’m excited because she also offers virtual makeup classes which I will definitely be trying in the near future !!

I’m so glad I got her for my shoot. She is very knowledgeable and professional. If I tell her my idea she comes back with tons of cool ideas to make that happens. She is also so fun to hang out with. I will definitely ask her for my next shoot!

I would like to thank you for an amazing work and for being so patient and sweet.

As someone who went to beauty school, I thought I know everything about make up and how to apply it. Until I had an online make up tutorial with Charlotte. She showed me all of the tricks and details which made huge difference in the way I do my make up now. The entire process was very interesting and educational - I had to fill out a form with questions about my skin routine, the products I use and the desired results and skin goals, and she was so thorough with her suggestions. The session was very fun and relaxed and Charlotte lead me patiently through the steps, and all I could do different next time is to have her do my make up in person (hopefully post Covid)! Charlotte is an awesome make up artist and a very sweet person, and her work will bring your make up routine or your special event to whole another level of beauty and glamour!

I took a virtual makeup class with Charivari & Co and absolutely loved it. I came into the class knowing nothing about makeup, and left the class feeling much more confident! I absolutely recommend this class!
— Adriana Nordlicht
I had the pleasure of getting my makeup done by Charlotte at a mimosas and makeup ladies brunch. Charlotte made my skin glow and my eyes pop. Highly recommend.
— Lenee Forcier
It was an absolute pleasure to have that consultation with you. Thank you for your warmth and professionalism. I have never been comfortable with makeup, but your kind explanations and tips have given me a new level of confidence. One of my coworkers private messaged me during our meeting to compliment me on my makeup!
I am so excited to start using the new products along with the new techniques you taught me.
— Jaqui Wilson
Charlotte is an extremely talented makeup artist. She did my makeup for a work holiday party and I’ve never had so many compliments before. She started our appointment by asking what kind of look I wanted to achieve (glam) and she was extremely attentive and warm throughout our session and listened to all my needs. She ensured I didn’t have any allergies and frequently asked if the brush pressure was to my liking. I’ve never had such an attentive makeup professional that was as detail oriented, creative, kind and as talented as Charlotte. I highly recommend her for events, photoshoots or bridal makeup. Charlotte is the best and made me feel beautiful. Merci beaucoup - thank you so much!
— Julia Schaefer
Charlotte is exceptionally talented makeup artist and an absolute joy to work with! She recently did my makeup, and I was thrilled with the result. Before we started, I mentioned to her that I liked a more natural look and she nailed it. She also gave me some helpful tips to keep in mind when doing my own makeup. Don’t miss your chance to work with her. Thank you, Charlotte!
— Charlotte Johnson
Charlotte is the best! I was on the fence about getting my makeup done for my wedding and am SO GLAD I went through with it. Charlotte was super communicative during the planning process and even went so far as to meet up with me ahead of time for a consultation. On our wedding day, she came by my house and wound up doing a marathon of work —my friends were so impressed with my makeup that they asked her to do theirs, too! I was adamant that I wanted a natural, dewy look and that’s exactly what she delivered. I cannot recommend her more highly.
