ABOUT carmella

Hi! It’s Carmella.

I love art and had always dreamed of pursuing a career in Graphic Design, but over time, I found myself seeking something that was more personal and human in nature.

My love for makeup artistry started in 2015 as a creative outlet. I would sit in front of my mirror for hours at a time playing with shadows, blushes, liners, lipsticks, and pigments. I found makeup to be an infinite possibility to beauty but always gravitated towards the classic, timeless, and natural.

After getting my certificate from Artists Within Makeup Academy in 2017, I started my freelance business while working with some of the most popular makeup brands. My experience working with the amazing makeup teams at Sephora, NARS, and Laura Mercier not only introduced me to the best and sweetest people in the local industry, it also deepened my understanding of the art.

I soon fell into the exciting world of Wedding Artistry and never looked back! Being a part of one of the most memorable days of someone’s life has been a dream. It brings me so much joy to help bring out the best version of my clients that still feel true to who they are.

Carmella is based in Calgary, AB. For business inquiries, feel free to contact her through info@bycarms.com
