Introduction: Effective January, 2022, I will be limiting my weddings and events to 2/month in an effort to dedicate more time to my family. Once I have reached 2 bridal bookings, all other dates will be blocked off, so please do not wait if you would like to reserve your date. Thank you for your understanding! Hi, I'm Kelli! Thank you so much for taking the time to review my portfolio, and for your interest in getting to know more about me. I have been a working professional makeup artist for more than a decade, and am excited for any and every opportunity to create and provide a great and memorable experience for my clients. Over the last several years, I have become the official hair and makeup artist for Lamont Aulet Photograph, a preferred vendor for Louis Torres Photography, as well as a guest speaker/educator for the makeup program at the Paul Mitchell School in Schenectady, New York. In addition to being a makeup artist, I have also designed my own brand of mink lashes that are used exclusively in my applications. I am also a published artist, featured in the Christmas edition of the NYC based Style Cruze magazine and featured writer and contributor to the StitchedNY website, as well as a featured artist in many of their editorial projects. I have also worked as an official hair and makeup artist for the OCB (Organization of Competition Bodies) bodybuilding shows held throughout the Northeast. I, too, have competed, so when I am not working you can likely find me in the gym! As a competitor, I know exactly what it takes to help you look and feel your best in order to stand out among a dozen other competitors on stage. I have traveled as far as Vermont, Boston and New Jersey to assist individual competitors who compete in other national bodybuilding organizations. I believe my work stands out from others because I am my own biggest critic, and will not rest until my clients are 110% satisfied. I'm kind, a great listener and I take direction well, even under stressful circumstances. I strongly believe in the quality of my work, whether I am working with a bridal party or assisting you in gaining more self confidence through your own image and wardrobe. My approach to my clients: First and foremost, I realize that there is a huge talent pool in this area that my clients could choose for these types of services. When you hire me, you're not just getting a makeup artist, you're getting a confidante and hopefully someone you can call your friend. I want my clients to feel like they can come to me at any time. Being accessible to my clients and treating them with respect, is exactly what I would expect of me, and nothing less! I hope that you found this introduction helpful, and have some more insight into what it would be like to work with me! If you have any questions, I am only a call or email away!

Thumbtack came through for me by connecting me with makeup artist Kelli Desnoyers in Albany. She was highly accommodating and made it most convenient for me by coming to the hotel where I was staying and which also happened to be the location of the ball I was attending. Kelli was punctual and she came with her own makeup chair --- what a perfectionist! She spent some time asking me questions about the look I wanted to achieve. I asked for "soft and romantic" and she gave me my best version of me. I highly appreciated how she consulted with me and modified her creative process. We both had fun going through this. The best part is that I had the pleasure to experience this twice --- I asked Kelli to come again a few days later to help me with my make-up for a gala dinner and she made time for me after a busy day of providing make-up services for a wedding party. For this gala event, she created a totally different look. I was tentative in the beginning, but especially after seeing the photos, I realized that she had truly succeeded in creating the glamorous look I had requested. Thank you very much, Kelli.

Karen, thank you so very much! It was really my pleasure assisting you. I especially enjoyed getting to know you and David, and learning about the fascinating work you both do. I am very fortunate to have made two new friends out of this, and I hope that you'll make it back to Upstate New York soon to visit more of the beautiful places we have to offer. All the best to you, and thank you again for being so kind - and a true pleasure to work with!!! Kelli

Kelli made me feel like a queen on my wedding day. She did my hair and makeup exactly as I requested - very professional and sweet. My makeup stayed put all day and night. She uses great quality products too so I never felt cakey and didn't breakout at all. I'm not a makeup person at all so I was very happy :) highly recommend!
