Kelly is AMAZING.
I commissioned her to lead a make up tutorial for a group of 4 middle school dance team members. These were my stipulations:
1) Teach them the basics of skin care AND the basics of make up 2) Teach them to transition from a day time look to performance look (red lips, smokey eyes, blush) 3) Teach them to be able to do the transition fast! 4) Make sure the looks are age appropriate 5) Make sure they could apply any brand of make up appropriately 6) Empower them to practice their make up techniques and believe in their capabilities
Kelly totally surpassed my expectations.
She is poised, knowledgeable, patient, kind and FUN!
Not only did our teens learn age appropriate techniques, she also taught them tips and tricks for when they made common boo boos (wrong concealer color, too much liner, smudged lipstick, etc).
The teens and their moms could not stop thanking me for the fun time they had. At the end of the tutorial, Kelly ended by gracefully handling a very long and thorough Q&A session. And before she left, she also filled them with confidence and pride by letting them know that they are beautiful with and without make up.
I will definitely commission Kelly for any make up tutorial/make up needs and encourage everybody else to do the same.

She was amazing. Took time to listen to what I wanted and also helped arrange for a hair stylist to do my hair at the same time. Loved the makeup.

Kelly is a great listener to get what you want to achieve. She made me look fabulous for my 65th birthday! Words cannot even express the outcome. I received sooooo many compliments. I highly recommend her. I will be back for sure!

I booked an online class with Bella and it was sooo worth it. She was able to guide be beforehand on which products to buy for good value, and also a lot of knowledge about expiry dates for common products. The lesson itself was amazing. She went thru it all bits by bits. Would hire again

Kelly is an amazing make-up artist and person. I really wasn’t sure what I wanted for my wedding day and gave her full creative license to do what she thought was best, and she did amazing. I felt like myself, but elevated! Some of my close friends also got their makeup done by her and they all loved it. One of them even said that she preferred her makeup that day to her own wedding day! We all felt beautiful and I would definitely recommend her. First pic is as soon as she did it, second pic was 11 hours later! Still looking great!
