Kelsey is the best!

Kelsey and I have been teaming up to style brides since 2008 or so. Imagine my joy when it was finally my turn to get married! Kelsey's pricing is reasonable given her talent and professionalism - and her skill is second to none. She is an excellent communicator, patient and chill AF during bookings. It was a blessing to have her around on my wedding day because dang, was I frazzled!!

I am in my 40s with aging dry skin and hooding over my eyes. Not only did Kelsey's makeup stay put without exaggerating wrinkles, she also was willing to try the bat-wing hooded cat eye style. I was THRILLED because I can't normally wear a winged liner...it just looks sad and droopy. Kelsey copied my idea exactly as requested and I have never felt more beautiful in my life.

Thank you Kelsey!!! Keep being excellent!

What an amazing make up experience

Kelsey was a fantastic make up artist who went above and beyond, including being up super early for my morning wedding. All the make up held up throughout the ceremony and reception! She was a delight to work with and I got so many compliments on my make up.

Mikayla & Max Wedding - October 29, 2022

Kelsey and her co worker Blazenka were absolutely amazing! They truly are such amazing makeup artists and did such a great job on me, my bridesmaids and family members. They were able to do everyone in such a timely manner and really listened to what everyone wanted and took that into consideration. You both did such beautiful work and I can’t thank you enough!

Flawless!!!

Kelsey and her team did amazing job with my makeup, my mothers and bridesmaids. We all loved how natural we looked but how flawless we all looked. I typically have oily skin and I typically have to blot and reapply. But there was no need! I was a little shiny but that was about it. My makeup head up all night!! I loved how I looked!

Great experience

Kelsey was first recommended and used for my wedding in 2017, and I have rebooked with her multiple times for Christmas Parties and my sister in laws wedding this past summer! We all absolutely love our experiences with Kelsey. She has always been on time and helps us pick our the perfect look for each event. I always know I'm in good hands when Kelsey is there, especially since I know nothing about doing my own makeup! Thanks Kelsey.

A beautiful experience

From the trial run to the day of the wedding, Kelsey was absolutely amazing. Neither myself nor my two bridesmaids wear a lot of makeup, so the light touch she had enhanced the natural glow we were all going for. It always wonderful to be able to sitback and allow someone who is skilled at their artistry, do their job and not worry about the final product. I would recommend Kelsey to anyone who wants to look their most beautiful on such a momentous occasion.

Absolutely gorgeous make-up!

Kelsey was fabulous - all 5 of us girls (myself, my mom, my MIL, and my two sisters) looked stunning. None of us wear a lot of makeup, and neither my mom or my mother in law had ever worn fake eyelashes. She put them on wish such ease that all of us forgot we even had them on until we saw photos! She was kind, helpful, and we looked great. Hihgly recommend!

Absolutely amazing! The girls first - they were stunning! We had them decide what they wanted to do for themselves and Kelsey made them look just gorgeous! For myself, from the trial to the day of, I have never had anyone just nail the look I was after. I'm quite picky and rock a light smokey eye day to day, that the day of, it had to be the same but more intense. It looked so amazing and stayed put the entire day. Not a smudge at all. Looking at photos now as well, photographed well the entire day! Kelsey's demeanor was also A+, and she is so sweet. Will not disappoint!

Kelsey did an amazing job with the makeup for my wedding on June 25th. I am really picky with makeup and I couldn't have been happier. I got so many compliments and my bridesmaids looked fantastic. Kelsey is really friendly and great at working with what I wanted for my makeup. She was done early so we were all ready to go before the photographer even arrived. I would definitely recommend Kelsey!
