Kerry Riordan Makeup Artistry

I knew from the initial email exchanges prior to my trial that Kerry was very friendly, flexible, professional, agreeable, and creative. Make up and hair trial was smooth and Kerry was able to receive my adjustment feedback to do even better on my wedding day. She's also a professional (polite and knowledgable) and a perfectionist (that it's perfect for the bride) and really easy to talk to. She puts her clients first. She made me feel at ease. She can make your dream come true. She's also very humble. I will recommend her to everybody.

Kerry does amazing classic, natural hair and makeup. She can also do vintage glam, she helps you look great regardless of what your vision is.
She really listened to what I wanted, looked at my inspo photos and helped me to look and feel my best on my wedding day. You decide what you want to do with your hair makeup, but her suggestions were all perfect.
Kerry did my sister and mother's makeup too and listened to their individual requests. The three of us looked the best were every looked, and we felt great.
Kerry is professional, on time, and has great clear communication. But with all that you get a laid back, fun, dry sense of humour.
Very calm no stress, a great person to be relaxing with before the day gets going.
She worked with our crazy timeline, trying to fit in a makeup trial in just a few days, and our wedding 2 months away.
Kerry was recommended to me by a friend who is a makeup artist herself, and had Kerry do her hair and makeup on her wedding day. I'm so glad we got to work together, you are in good hands with Kerry.

Kerry provided make-up and hair services for my sister, mother, future mother-in-law and myself for our backyard wedding on June 25, 2021. We are so happy that she was a part of our special day.

From my initial contact with Kerry, she was professional, responsive, and very personable. I appreciated her flexibility and compassion, particularly during these unprecedented times (COVID). Kerry was accommodating with the last minute time change (asking for an earlier start time), as well as with the additional request for make-up services for my future mother-in-law.

Kerry provided a hair and make-up trial the morning of my bridal shower, which turned out AMAZING! She seemed to know exactly what I was looking for. I received so many compliments! My mother-in-law even ended up requesting Kerry to do her make-up for our wedding day!

Not only is Kerry talented, she is truly great company! Her warm and easygoing personality makes you feel at ease (which is extremely helpful if you’re nervous before the big day and made the experience even more enjoyable).

Our hair and make-up held up well for both the outdoor bridal shower and backyard wedding, which were both on hot and humid days, despite lots of sweat and tears (and rain on our wedding day). Kerry provided a “touch up kit” with some great products if in the event it was needed.

Kerry took all the necessary COVID19 precautions and made us feel safe and comfortable at all times.

We had such a great experience working with Kerry. She made all of us ladies feel and look absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend her!!!

Kerry did my hair and makeup for our engagement photoshoot and was originally supposed to do my makeup on our wedding. However, with Toronto being in lockdown again we decided to cancel. Kerry was both professional and understanding of my decision to cancel. She does beautiful work and I would use her again.

I found Kerry after searching for stylists in the Toronto area who could do vintage hair and makeup. I consider myself extremely blessed to have found Kerry. From the initial email, to the day of, I felt totally comfortable with Kerry and knew I was in the right hands. She is someone you're going to want with you on your wedding day! Kerry did a consult with me and nailed the look I wanted - I literally could not stop staring at myself in the mirror! And this wasn't even wedding day! Her team was amazing on wedding day - We had 5 bridemaids, 3 mothers, 2 little girls and one bride! Everyone was thrilled with their makeup - literally 9 ladies with varying styles, preferences, etc. were all pleased - this is the amazing job that Kerry does! Kerry's prices are very reasonable and she travels to you. I am confident in saying that Kerry is now my official hair and makeup person for events! I don't want to use anyone else!!

Kerry Riordan is an absolute gem. Just a really good person inside and out. I think her beauty services are a little newer, so her prices were incredibly reasonable compared to some of the others I looked at, but she doesn't compromise her talent. She and her assistant did hair and makeup for me, 5 bridesmaids, and two mothers for my wedding and they did a fantastic job. They were wonderfully patient, especially with the two moms who were more than a bit nervous to wear makeup. Kerry was really helpful for me, because I had no idea what I wanted to do when we first started talking and she helped me create a look that was PERFECT, I felt so great. The makeup was great quality too, it stood up well to really hot temperatures with lots of sweat and tears. Kerry was professional and friendly throughout, even with me running all over the place on the day of and us starting a few hours later than planned due to really bad traffic that none of us anticipated, everyone was ready on time for pictures and looked fantastic. I am so so glad we were able to work with Kerry, she made us all look great!

Kerry was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to end in helping my bridal party get ready for our big day! She was always prompt with her email responses, and flexible with requests. She came over for our trial make-up session a month before the wedding, which was very helpful in coming upon a look we were happy with, not to mention that she got along fabulously with my mom. On the day of, Kerry and her assistant Cherry helped me and my bridal party to feel so comfortable and everyone looked incredible (as evidenced by the many compliments we received)! Kerry is extremely fun, has a great sense of humour, with fantastic time management! Would highly recommend Kerry to anyone.

Kerry was so lovely! She listened to what I wanted and made any changes and encouraged me to tell her what I wanted different during my trial. On the day off my wedding I was very stressed and she was a calming presence and helped keep me relaxed and sane with all the chaos around. I definitely recommend her. She was flexible and prompt with responsiveness and did the best job! Thank you Kerry! All the best 😄

Kerry was wonderful! She surprised myself and my maid of honour with how gorgeous we looked. The hairdos lasted all day, even through a 2-hour boat cruise! Also, she really took the time during the trial run to make sure we got the bridal look right. She's super personable and fun to work with!
