Kelsey is SUCH a talented makeup artist, and as if that isn't enough, she is also an incredibly friendly person as well. In all the hustle and bustle that comes with a wedding day, Kelsey brought the most calm, cool, and relaxing vibe into our space, like getting your makeup done by an old friend whose aura is just so peaceful. I got married in July and kept forgetting to leave this review, but she left such an impact on me that here I am almost 6 months later, making sure I sing her praises. I'm especially grateful for her aesthetic because heavy makeup isn't something I feel comfortable wearing, but on my wedding day I just felt like the best version of myself because of her application style. I would highly, highly recommend her to anyone who wants to feel naturally beautiful on their special day :)

I didn’t get to meet Kelsey, as she was responsible for the bridesmaids makeup. However, the feedback from the bridesmaids was nothing short of fabulous. I did however see the end result, and she did a great job with everyone’s makeup. It was very well done! Thank you!

Amazing! My makeup was so natural and beautiful. My freckles were still visible but my breakouts from a mask at work all day were not. The skin prep was great. My skin is so soft. I danced so much at the wedding and was so sweaty I had to keep patting my face and my makeup stayed yet it still came off with one makeup wipe! All the girls looked so good and she even squeezed one more person in without running out of time! I would recommend Kelsey to anyone! I'll post photos as soon as I get them.

Kelsey is truly amazing. From my first interaction with her, she was warm, responsive, and accommodating. During my weddingmakeup trial, we discussed some changes I wanted to make for the big day, and she was always open to feedback and suggestions. On the day of, she did a fabulous job with me and my bridesmaid... plus we had a great time with her! It was important to me that I still looked like myself with my makeup, and Kelsey delivered. I felt beautiful and like the best version of myself. Her skills are top notch, and she is generally lovely to be around! Highly recommend working with her. Thank you Kelsey!

Kelsey did the makeup for me and my bridesmaids for my wedding. She made everyone look glamorous and beautiful. Also, she worked with the bridesmaids who didn’t want a lot of makeup and created a more natural look. All my ladies were happy and I was too. Would definitely recommend.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I do post promotional discounts on my Instagram - be sure to follow my account to qualify! Any travel fees are based on millage and is quoted before the contract is signed.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Getting to know what your beauty vision is for your big day and gather as many details as possible to make it come to fruition. I will send over my bridal price list along with my contract for review. This allows you to know what to expect from my end and share with your spouse + party. After the contract is signed - we will then get a trial date scheduled and start looking forward to the wedding day!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked for a top beauty retailer and was a manager for several years. During this time I went through many trainings for different brands/companies for both makeup and skin care. I am currently enrolled to receive my Estheticians License!
