Meet the Owners

I learnt dancing for about 10 years from the age of 4 and mum and I loved the costumes, the vibrancy and the styling. This started a love of makeup I just had to pursue. After VCE I went straight to beauty school and after graduation couldn't wait to begin work within my own business.

FAQ

Are you a mobile service?

Absolutely. Yes, I travel out to you to your home or hotel to save you time and ensure you are most comfortable. I do also have a home based studio with great lighting and coffee if preferred for your trial.

I do travel quite a distance around Melbourne. When you are ready to book please send through the suburb you will be getting ready at and I will confirm if there are any travel costs for you.

Sometimes a travel fee will be added to your quote if i am travelling through tolls or an hour away from my home base which is in Caroline Springs.

Do you style larger groups on your own?

Yes I do. Depending on the time we can start and when you need to be ready by will depend if I am able though ussualy this isnt a problem.
It takes me an hour or less per person for larger bookings. A consultation or trial will help get an idea for the time needed on the day.
If we do need additional help styling I can happily organise for you.

Hi Karly, I just wanted to send you a big hug and thank you for all your hard work and for being a part of our special day. Karly you made the whole process so smooth and enjoyable. For someone who has no idea about hair or makeup you made the experience very enjoyable and relaxing. You came in organised and ready to get started even if my family wasn't, thanks for the patience. Thank you for your professionalism and caring nature that you showed me. We loved having you there as we got ready for my wedding day. Everyone looked amazing! I hope that you got to explore and enjoy the colours of Bright with your family. Thanks again for the last minute booking and all your help and work on the day! You are amazing!

Hi Karly, Thank you so much for checking in, I had a wonderful elopement! Everyone has commented how great the make up and hair looked and you were so great to work with on the day.

I am so pleased I found Karly in the few weeks leading up to my wedding! She was confident, reliable and knew exactly what I wanted. She made me look amazing on my wedding day and I received so many compliments on my make up. I even had my bridesmaids saying they will go to Karly for their next event. Karly is a bang on make up artist who knows what will work straight up and is patient and very open to listening what it is you want or how you like it and makes it happen for you! Tracy

Karly did my bridal makeup and hair styling as well as my two bridesmaids and mother of the bride and groom. We were so happy with the final result, it was exactly what we were after. Our makeup lasted all day and night. I could not recommend Karly enough, you will not regret your decision :)

Karly was absolutely amazing. She prepared 6 ladies' hair and make-up for a wedding and the end results were outstanding. The lead up to the date was a breeze im terms of communication, ever reliable. Can't recommend and thank Karly enough!

Will Hollywood curls last the night?

I really love the long Hollywood curls but honestly, do they fall out by the end of the night? Or are there certain hair types that this is better for? I want to wear my hair out.

Professional Makeup & Hair Artist - Karly Drever

Hollywood curls can absolutley stay looking fabulous though it just needs a little extra care and attention. I personally prep the hair first thing during the day with certain products and method and allow it to cool and sit for as long as possible.

Once cool and after makeup is complete it can ussually be brushed, styled and will hold. I do also agree a great set of extensions can add additional volume and hold from the evening potentially throughout the following day.

How far in advance do I need to book my hair and makeup artists?

Also, is there an ideal time to have a trial before the wedding? Thanks.

Professional Makeup & Hair Artist - Karly Drever

Great question. I think most of us artists will say the earlier the better to be sure you secure your artist of choice for your wedding styling. We all take advance bookings sometimes up to 2 years ahead of time. This will also give you the chance to trial as soon as you to can just to make sure you are both the right fit for each other.

Good luck lovely and have a fabulous wedding day.
