We were so lucky to have Lyz (from Klava Z's team) as our MUA for our wedding. My trial was fantastic and she’s such a fun person to work with. Lyz is very knowledgeable and talented. She took great care of myself and all the ladies on the big day, and our makeup was just how we each wanted it! Klava has a great team of people working for her, and was very organized throughout the booking process. She’s very sweet, and even hand-delivered a parcel to our house after it had been returned to her. I couldn’t have been happier with how I looked on my day!

Best Makeup Application EVER!
I booked Klava a year in advance and have zero regrets. This woman has won awards for a reason!!! Her attention to detail was top notch and made every one of my girls feel and look their best. The makeup lasted all day and night, even through the hot humid weather.

Best Makeup Artist in Ottawa (and Possibly the World!)
Thank you to Klava for creating a stunning bridal look for me and doing gorgeous makeup for my friends and mom! I would recommend Klava to absolutely any bride who wants to look and feel beautiful on her wedding day. Klava's makeup application is amazing at highlighting your natural beauty, and she works with you every step of the way to ensure you're 100% satisfied and happy with her work. She's beyond professional, communicative, and detail-oriented, while also being a genuinely kind and caring person! Klava also goes the extra mile by recommending the right beauty products for your skin type (leading up to the big day), emailing the wedding party directly to ensure everyone is well-prepared for their makeup application (so helpful for busy brides!), and even sending you a small gift in the mail pre-wedding! Overall, if you hire Klava for your wedding makeup, I can guarantee you'll be delighted with the results and feel like the most beautiful version of yourself on the biggest day of your life. Simply the best!

Best makeup artist ever!
Klava is so talented I felt so absolutely beautiful. I love makeup and feel like I was fairly knowledgeable about it before but she had so many good tips and advice that I never knew before. You can tell it is her passion and she truly cares about creating your perfect look. She is also super down to earth and has a lot of advice and knowledge about natural products. I felt comfortable giving feedback after my trial about what I’d like to change or tweak for my big day. Thanks so much Klava!!

Klava was incredible, from beginning to end! I was impressed by her professionalism and service, when she initially asked me a number of questions to get to know me before we met for a trial application - my style, my comfort level with makeup, etc. On the day of the wedding, she came with a second artist to do my makeup along with 6 other women's, and everyone was raving about their makeup!! Klava really took the time to get to know each person. I learned through observing her how makeup is a work of art, with the detail and care she and her assistant took. From my first meeting with Klava, I knew that I had nothing to worry about with my makeup on the wedding day, and she did not disappoint!! I wanted a natural look, and Klava made sure that I felt completely "me" while looking enhanced and feeling beautiful. On top of all this, there was some down time during the day before touch ups, while I was taking photos. Klava offered to do some extra people's faces - mostly a group of flower girls who were happy as can be! She did not charge me for these extra faces and I appreciated her flexibility - so did the girls! Thank you, Klava, for helping to make my wedding day relaxing and fun!
