Karly Cannon Artistry 

5.0

Arcata, CA
  • Starts at $175

I am a makeup artist who also offers hairstyling. I’ve been doing makeup for about 8 years and have worked weddings, events, and commercial. I love making people feel beautiful on their big day and enjoy helping make everything run smoothly. I’m very comfortable with different skin tones and types of hair. I can do many different styles of makeup from natural to full glam and airbrush. I’m always staying up to date on recent wedding trends and expanding my skills. I will work with a single bride or a large group!

I was so excited to have Karly as a part of my wedding day. She was open to my requests and delivered a makeup look that felt like me, "just elevated," which was EXACTLY what I asked for. She was punctual and made my bridesmaid comfortable and was a joy to have around. I would recommend her to any friends or acquaintances for their magical day.

I was lucky enough to work with Josiah and Paige for my wedding in February and they were outright amazing. I had zero issues working with them. I don't mean that in a way where there were small things I didn't like but looked over-NO. I truly had zero issues with both of them or any of the people on their team for the day of hair and make up services. Before my big day, I booked two separate hair and make up trials where I asked for completely different things and at either trials they both arrived on time and did exactly the look I asked for. Then, the WEEKEND OF my wedding I realized I couldn't exactly pick between the two different looks and I humbly asked if Josiah could somehow combine the two looks from my trials for a "soft glam" look and he delivered. I have never felt so pretty. Same exact situation with my hair. Josiah and Paige were so patient and friendly and kind! There team worked quickly and efficiently on the day of my wedding to do hair and make up for most of my bridal party plus my mother and my mother in law- and a surprise person who changed her mind from doing her own make up to asking for it done! We even got little personalized touch up kits to reapply any lipstick or pin up any additional hair. I highly highly recommend this team of amazing professionals. I never leave review s for anything but they all should be recognized for their dedicated work. Thank you forever to this team, specifically Josiah and Paige who helped me look and feel so beautiful on my special day.

I loved working with Jasmine for my wedding hair and makeup! From start to finish, she was super professional, incredibly responsive, and a clear communicator. Her makeup looks are beautiful and I chose to go with her signature soft glam with curled hair pinned back on one side. She did a fantastic job during the trial and the day of. After the trial, Jasmine was great at asking for my feedback and incorporating it into the final look for my wedding day. She's also mindful of tailoring her approach to your specific needs to help her work last longer. Make sure to tell her about your skin type and any specific concerns, like curls falling out of your hair easily, or oily eyelids for myself which might have affected the longevity of one eye's eyeshadow. Aside from that and a couple other minor touch ups needed throughout the day (grateful for her touch up kit!), the rest of my hair and makeup stayed all night long on my wedding day. I loved my look and thought it was even better than the trial! Even though she isn't a professional hairstylist, Jasmine really nailed it with my hair. It stayed flawless all day and night, despite the dress changes and jewelry adjustments throughout the day and I received multiple compliments on my hair! She's also easy going and nice to talk to - I really enjoyed the time spent chatting with her while getting ready in the morning. It was a great, peaceful way to start the busy day. Jasmine also helped do 2 of my bridesmaid's hair and did a beautiful job. One of them said that she has a really hard time getting curls to hold, but her hairstyle lasted all night long. I'm so grateful for Jasmine's help and would recommend her to any bride looking for a talented and personable HMUA!

Tiffany was so fun to work with! She has such a warm and energetic personality with so much make up and skincare knowledge, she made me feel comfortable and confident in my own skin. I found Louder with Powder as a referral from our wedding photographer and I am so glad I went with her. I told her right away that I do not wear that much make up, and she was so attentive to my needs. I had a make up trial with her about a 2 months before the wedding, and not only did it make the client-artist connection stronger with her bubbly personality, but she also gave so much valuable advice on taking care of my skin to be ready for my wedding day. She told me about switching from make up sponges to brushes, recommended me a serum, and had me start using castor oil on my eyebrows (I was already using it for my eyelashes). To this day, I continue to follow her advice and it has been so helpful for my skincare and make up routine. The day of the wedding, Tiffany had Leydy come out to help with hair and she also did not disappoint! Both of them have such great chemistry together and it really helped make the atmosphere at the bridal suite fun and especially made me feel comfortable. 100% recommend!

I can’t thank Beauty by Vespa enough for making my wedding day so special! From the trials to the big day, she made the entire process effortless and enjoyable. She was calm, confident, and such a reassuring presence when everything felt so emotional. I booked the all-day package, which was absolutely wonderful — I was able to change looks from the ceremony to the reception, and Elena stayed with us the entire time, touching us up throughout the day to make sure we always looked flawless. She also did my mom’s hair and makeup beautifully and even did touch-ups on my husband, which we really appreciated. She was incredibly patient — especially with my mom, who got teary several times — and handled every touch-up with such kindness and care. That meant so much to both of us. She really took the time to understand the look I was going for and absolutely nailed it. I felt beautiful, confident, and completely myself.

Hi, I’m Maddie, a Northern California makeup artist specializing in timeless, natural glam for brides who want to look and feel like themselves on their wedding day — just a little more elevated ✨ My goal is to bring that vibe while creating a look that lasts all day (and night!) and photographs beautifully. Every bride has her own version of “glam,” and I love bringing that vision to life in a way that feels effortless and true to you. Whether it’s your big day or a special event, I’m here to help you feel confident, radiant, and ready for every unforgettable moment. 🤍

Honestly I couldn’t say better things about a make up stylist! She did flawlesss on my wedding 11/8/2025 for myself and 4 bridesmaids, one of which didn’t want make up since she’s has a bad experience in the past with someone from Tennessee but after watching the first two she opted in as well!She arrived early and was very kind and punctual. I even booked her over a year in advance and she was grateful for everything. Everything was blended perfectly and lasted longer than my whole event!
