I am so happy I chose Kim for my wedding! She was super amazing to work with and very sweet. I would recommend her to anyone. After the consultation, I knew that I wanted Kim to be...
the makeup artist for our wedding. Kim was very knowledgeable about skin care and upkeep, as well as with airbrush makeup. She was able to help my dream of a whimsical style like Pokémon mew come to life. I would not have chosen anyone else on my big day!
We had our wedding in Maine, and I flew Kim out to Maine to do the makeup for myself and my girls. Even with a few hiccups from the coordinator, Kim always was very professional, on time (If not earlier), and had timeliness. My makeup along with all of my bridesmaids held up all day and even through the night. She also packs you a care kit in case you need any touch ups through the day.
I cannot recommend Kim enough! If the price is out of your budget make sure to talk with her about where you are and how you feel!
Kim and her team were AMAZING at my wedding. Her positive personality and attention to detail made all the difference. I’d recommend her to anyone I know.
Kim, of About Face MakeUp Artistry, is incredible! I first witnessed her work at a dear friend's wedding last October, and while I had planned to do my own makeup for my upcoming J...
une wedding, I knew I had to see if she was available. It was hands down the best choice! She is so easy to be around. Her attention to detail, patience, and desire to have you feeling your best is unparalleled! If you're feeling worried about "not looking like yourself" or simply searching for someone who will make your wedding day easier, this is the person to go to! Thank you again for memories that will last a life time.
I absolutely loved working with Kim! I had very little experience with makeup and she made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process which would have otherwise ...
been quite stressful. She went above and beyond every step of the way and even provided me with some general skin care tips that have changed my daily routine and made my skin look and feel healthier. She did a beautiful job on both my makeup and my bridesmaids'. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist for my special day. Not only was Kim professional, organized, and timely with all her communications, but an absolute joy to work with. She is so kind and funny and we all had a great time working with her. I would highly recommend her for any special celebration and have already recommended her to several of my close friends!
The most perfect artist for our big day! Kim's communication was excellent. She made me feel so beautiful and really individualized my makeup. The trial beforehand was also really ...

id airbrush makeup. It was perfect for my formal ceremony in august. Our reception was casual. I ended up throwing on a bridal swimsuit and jumping into the pool. Accidentally went under water and my makeup did not move! Everyone was mind blown. I would recommend her 100000 times over again.

Kim was very flexible throughout the process and got back to me quickly as I found more ideas on Pinterest that sparked my interest.
She offered wonderful, professional advice as to what may or may not work with my facial structure/skin.
Her beautiful makeup lasted all night and you get well worth the value in her services!
