I cannot thank my makeup artist enough for the incredible work they did on my wedding day! From the moment they arrived, they were professional, kind, and truly passionate about making me feel my absolute best. They listened to my vision and executed it flawlessly, enhancing my natural beauty while ensuring I felt confident and radiant.
Not only did my makeup look stunning and last all day, but my bridesmaids were also in awe of how beautiful they looked and felt. The attention to detail and ability to bring out each person's unique beauty was truly impressive.
If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is talented, reliable, and will make you feel like the best version of yourself on your special day, look no further. Hands down, you will not be disappointed!
I would highly recommend this makeup artist to any bride-to-be

I wanted to get a makeover for my 60th birthday. I started searching online and came across Makeup Highlights. They responded quickly and kept me up to date with everything. My make-up artist, Amber, was so professional. I enjoyed talking with her while getting my makeup done. I received so many compliments on how beautiful I looked. When I decide to get another makeover, I will definitely contact you again.

I was looking for makeup application for a wedding in Charleston on Thumbtack. Ketrena from Makeup Highlights immediately contacted me and mentioned she would not be available but found someone who could fit me in. She and Vanessa kept in constant contact with me before my appointment which I appreciated very much. The day of my appointment, Vanessa was early and very professional, she asked me what I expected from her, she asked for pictures and did exactly what I wanted. I was very pleased with the results and received so many compliments that night. I highly recommend Makeup Highlights for your makeup needs!

Everyone loved my makeup. This was the second time in my life wearing full makeup and it was a great experience. Ketrena was responsive, punctual and professional. It was a pleasure working with her.

My wife hired Ketrena to do the bridal and bridesmaid makeup for our wedding day. My wife found Ketrena very easy to work with, extremely responsive, and experienced. She showed up early to set up before the bridal party arrived and did a great job with everyone's makeup. The bridesmaids loved their look and my wife felt extremely confident and beautiful on her wedding day thanks to Ketrena. Our wedding was a destination wedding, so she was not able to do a trial before the wedding day, but Ketrena offered this service for free. Ketrena is an extreme value for the quality of the work and the bridal party found her very pleasant to work with. Ketrena even stayed through the wedding ceremony (which was delayed by 30 minutes) so that she could do touch ups on everyone's makeup before the bridal party photos. This was far and above what she was asked to do for us and we couldn't be happier with our experience.
