Kim did an amazing job with both my hair and makeup for my nephew’s wedding. It was an important day for me. I am so glad I trusted Kim with the job. I received a ton of compliments all night. She was able to give me the look I wanted with just a couple of inspo pics. I will definitely hire her again.

My makeup trial alone with Kim was amazing. She took the time to view inspiration pictures, and understand what makes me feel comfortable when having to wear makeup. Through the whole process she explained everything she was doing and using to me and my mother in law. Kim is extremely kind and very easy to feel like you've known her for years as soon as you begin talking to her. Hiring her was one of the easiest decisions I made in this whole wedding process.

Kim was fantastic. She provided me with make up lessons and was so patient and kind. She even went to the extra lengths of sending me every single item link on Amazon and Sephora the same evening as she knew I needed it for a big event. Thanks so much, Kim for helping to improve my confidence.

AHHMAZING…. Don’t let the lack of reviews on this artist fool ya! She’s FANTASTIC! I was in town to celebrate a family members very first Broadway opening and decided on a whim to get my, and my daughter’s, makeup done. Never thought in a MILLION years I would find someone, but hey…what the heck. 🤷‍♀️ So I’m searching at 1 a.m. in my hotel room, on the DAY OF my event, and found Kim. She immediately messaged back and the rest is history! I was SUPER SKEPTICAL because I’ve never hired an artist without a trial run, and I’m not from this area, so I didn’t know what to expect. I needed someone who would be willing to travel to me AND I was nervous about them being in my hotel room without ever having met them. I asked a ton of questions, sent photos, communicated my expectations and SHE DEFINITELY DELIVERED. The makeup was flawless and she made us both feel so beautiful on this special night! She was VERY prompt and professional and even went the extra mile to smooth out my neck and chest area so my look was cohesive. Kudos, Kim! 💕 THANK YOU AGAIN for being fabulous!

Details: Theatrical production • 18 - 25 years old • 45 - 64 years old • I'm flexible • False lashes • 2 people • My home, venue, etc.
