BeautimarkedbyKelli Makeup Artistry

nifer Kontomerkos, The Finer Things Event Planning). Before going for a trial with Kelli, I had been to at least three other artists who didn't do a good job because they didn't have the right color for my skin tone. Most of the artists asked me to go buy my own makeup then they will use it on the day of the wedding due to my different skin tone (I'm dark skin). Kelli went out of her way to find a picture of me and purchase the right color of makeup for my skin tone. That was very impressive for me. She is really into her work and we had a blast the entire time. My mom loved her and her work and my mom is not into make up at all, so that should tell you a lot. I cannot recommend her enough...She is great and great. My brother is about to get married possibly in Ghana and his fiance wants to take Kelli to ghana...:)! You can't go wrong with Kelli. Thank you so much for a fabulous job!!!

inding something I liked only a few months away from my wedding. Living out of town, it was hard for me schedule a trial, so we couldn't do one until two days before the wedding, which I was really nervous about. Low and behold, I had NOTHING to be worried about. I almost cried after seeing her work, as I had done a few other trials with other artists in Columbus and hadn't been happy with any of them. Kelli goes above and beyond and is a true artist when it comes to makeup. She won't just slap anything on you-she takes delicate time matching every single shade, color, and detail making sure everything is perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist, and she is truly the best in Columbus, hands down.

I would look like a clown or not like myself, but she did an absolute amazing job and I felt amazing the entire day! I have joked with people who keep telling me how great I looked that day that it's because of her! I wish I could have her professional makeup all the time. I would also reinforce her business acumen and how professionally she runs her business. Very up front on the cost, the timing and what you can expect from her and her team. She was very supportive and so great to work with - I would highly recommend her to anyone getting married or for anyone who needs makeup for a group - whatever the occasion!

had found her sooner. She really listens to what the bride wants instead of just doing what she wants. She made me feel so beautiful and the best part is my mother, who never wears makeup, felt beautiful also. You won't be disappointed if you choose kelli to do your makeup.

her team made 11 of the most important women in my life look absolutely breathtaking on my wedding day. I wanted to show these ladies how I see them everyday and Kelli brought that vision to life. My personal make up was flawless, and trust me, my skin is flawed! She made me feel so confident on my biggest day and I have single handily, never felt more beautiful. My wedding was on NYE and I was slightly worried how my make up would hold up throughout a LONG day. What a waste of my time! Everything was perfect from 10:00am-1:00am ! You will barely need to blot! In addition to Kelli's artistry, she is also HILARIOUS! I wanted someone to lighten to the mood and not take the day "so seriously" and Kelli was perfect! She had the whole room laughing and dancing! I feel like I walked away from my wedding with a new friend! If you are in the market for an absolute FLAWLESS look, look no further Kelli is absolutely the best!

!) bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law. Looking back at my pictures, I am still stunned with how perfect my make up looked and stayed that way all day/night! A huge thank you to Kelli and her team for their amazing job and being part of my special day!

lly fun. She's just the type of person you want to spend time with on your big day--she makes you feel beautiful and isn't that how we should all feel? She's also did my mom's makeup and my mom still talks about how much she enjoyed the experience. Bottom line, Kelli rocks.

ricy but so worth it! My makeup stayed put all night too!

k with the exact look I was going for....and she surprised me by offering to fancy up my mom and bridesmaid :) Would love to have a reason to use her again!

e recommendations based on skin tones, eye shape, etc.. This was not my experience with other artists I had trials with. The other artists took a one style fits all approach...not good. I typically don't wear a ton of makeup and Kelli worked with me to create a look where I felt beautiful but not overdone. Kelli and her assistant did a total of 7 faces on my wedding day and were able to finish ahead of schedule! They did makeup for a variety of ages, ranging from 21 to my grandmother. Everyone who had their makeup done looked beautiful and polished. Everyone was happy with their experience, and the makeup photographed incredibly well. Kelli is awesome, I highly recommend working with her.

make me look different than my true self, but she only brought my features out in a more beautiful and refined way. I would completely recommend her.

vous bride. My makeup was still perfect at the reception, even after taking pictures outside on a humid and rainy day. I would highly recommend her!!

keup done professionally that it would look over done and unnatural. This was not the case at all with Kelli. She listened and understood what I wanted throughout our conversations and trial. She is incredibly talented and is great to work with! My makeup was beautiful and complimented my entire look for the day. I had so many compliments. In my professional pictures friends and family have said I look like a model and I know this is because of the flawless job she did! My mothers make up was stunning. I've never seen her so beautiful than on my wedding day! I would highly recommend Kelli and her services on your wedding day. Erika

e individual eyelashes were perfectly placed and everyone who has seen the photographs asked who did the make up application. The makeup was light and perfectly matched to my skin tone. I was "made up" without being overdone. Kelli took my specifics and requests and made them a reality. I had such confidence after seeing how Kelli played up my best features. She did an equally wonderful job with my wedding party and mothers. She was professional, on time and made me feel happy and relaxed. Great artist! Highly recommend!

once Kelli got her hands on my face. She made sure I loved what I saw at my run through and recreated it perfectly on my wedding day. Kelli truly is the best of the best and will make you feel and look incredible on your wedding day. I could not be more thrilled when I look at our wedding photos and see how gorgeous my bridesmaids looked, how confident I felt and how my husband couldn't keep his eyes off of me!

enjoyed my experience with her. I was on a budget and Kelli was really easy to work with. My mother, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids absolutely loved her and her assistant. She took the edge off the day of the wedding, made everyone laugh, and made everyone feel beautiful. I was nervous my eyelashes wouldn't stay on if I cried. For as much as my mother cried that day hers should have come off - they were still on the next day and Kelli was right, they won't move! Her assistant, Kerry, was also really sweet and did an amazing job (my mother-in-law who never wears makeup said she might start wearing makeup after she saw how beautiful she looked)! All of my bridesmaids looked stunning and we received so many compliments on how beautiful everyone looked. Out of every vendor I worked with for my wedding, she didn't make the process impersonal and actually felt more like I was working with a friend.

nd I LOVED my makeup. Kelli is very fun and spunky, which made her great to work with on the day of my wedding. She was able to bring a lot of laughter into the room and made everyone feel more relaxed. My makeup held up incredibly well all day (and I did a lot of crying and then a lot of dancing at the end of the night). Kelli also did makeup for both my mom and mother-in-law and their makeup looked very natural. I do think that Kelli is a little pricey but I think that she was definitely worth the cost! I had started to break out two days before my wedding and Kelli made my face look flawless. When you get to your wedding day you want to feel your best and that is exactly how Kelli made me feel!

t used to all the eyeliner! However, on my wedding day, she made me look better than I ever have - she truly is a miracle worker! She is on the higher-end price-wise compared to other makeup artists in Columbus, but she truly is the best and worth every penny! So glad I ended up booking her services for my wedding day! (Also, she is absolutely HILARIOUS! :)

it looked so natural. She also made my mother, mother in law, and husbands grandmother look stunning. Very highly recommend her. Great personality too!

to use the space available to set up all of her make-up product. Kelli is so sweet and makes you not only beautiful on the outside, but she makes you feel beautiful on the inside. I would recommend Kelli to any bride wanting to look like the best version of herself on her wedding day.

e down and told me what to do. When she came to my house, she did makeup for my mom, stepmom, and mother-in-law, and then me. Everyone LOVED their look. Kelli made me feel so beautiful that day, and she even helped cover up the remains of my sunless tanning incident. My makeup looked natural, and didn't budge until I took it off the next morning!! Kelli is so sweet, and so much fun to work with. I will definitely be going back to her for any special occasion (though I wish she could do my makeup every day!), and I highly, highly recommend her to any bride. She will make you look and feel naturally beautiful. LOVE Kelli!

ng day! She kept me and all my bridesmaids laughing while we got ready! I received many compliments on my wedding makeup, which lasted from 10AM to midnight! I would recommend Kelli to any of my friends.

u feel like you already know her. She makes everything so comfortable and honestly wants YOU as the bride to feel and look beautiful. I had a trial run session with her and she even got with me just to make sure I was absolutely satisfied with my makeup, which I WAS!! I loved the way she did my eyes. They were gorgeous, and my face flawless. My bridesmaids also got their makeup done and everyone loved it, I wish i could give more than 5 stars! Kelli not only is an amazing makeup artist, I honestly feel like I have a friend as well after having her services done. Everyone should go to Kelli!

the bridesmaids that had already paid her. She refunded her but didn't do her make-up. No opinion there! Just facts!

and each and every time with a different look I feel absolutely beautiful. Not only is Kelli talented in doing make-up, but she is professional, on time, and most importantly FUN! She lights up the room, gets a long with everyone, makes everyone feel like they are a star, and is hilarious!! I will never have anyone else do my make-up again!!

ittle bit of sass that I wanted for my wedding. I don't normally wear a lot of makeup and she made sure I was comfortable with my makeup but also would stand out!

it came to planning out the wedding day. I never felt more beautiful! However, this wasn't all because Kelli's amazing skills, but it was also because of her amazing personality. From the minute I met Kelli for my trail I felt so comfortable. She really took the time to ask me what I was looking for and studied my face and asked about my normal beauty habits (which arn't that many!) After my trail, I called my girlfriend right away to brag about how great we were all going to look at the wedding. On the wedding day, Kelli showed up on time, prepared, and with a great upbeat attitude which starting the day off right. Everyone in my bridal party, as well as my Mom, commented on how great Kelli was and how much they loved their makeup. I couldn't have been happier too. I recieved so many wonderful comments and just felt amazing. Don't look elsewhere for your makeup artist you cannot go wrong with choosing Kelli to make you feel extra special on your special day!!

yone wanted and delivered exactly that. We all had so much fun with her - I'm so glad she was apart of my special day!

my make-up, I have felt absolutely gorgeous! My bridesmaids at my wedding all looked amazing as well and loved how they looked! Not only does Kelli pull out all the stops on the big important days, but she is my go-to guru for make-up and skin care advice throughout the rest of the year...she has yet to be wrong about any products or tips she has given me. Kelli has a great personality and gets along great with everyone she meets. She is extremely professional and willing to work with even the most nervous about make-up brides (me!). I would reccommend Kelli to ANYONE and EVERYONE! She is amazing!

of fresh air first thing in the morning when we were all just waking up from a late rehearsal dinner. Her makeup work was flawless and stayed on through all of our fun to late in the evening. I would highly recommend Kelli to anyone that is a bride or in the bridal party. She truly loves what she is doing and it shows in her attitude and final product.

t like I just didn't look like myself. Kelli, on the other hand, made me look like the best version of myself! My make-up was so fresh and pretty. I felt incredible. In fact, I don’t think I had ever felt so beautiful! She really understood what I wanted and was skilled enough to compliment my best features. Also, our wedding was outdoors in 90 degree heat. Kelli knew exactly what to do to keep my make-up flawless right up until the last dance! I received so many compliments and the pictures looked fantastic. Kelli is a true professional and she is so much fun! She had me giggling the whole time; it really took the edge off the pressure. Honestly, my make-up was the only thing about my wedding that was completely stress-free! Any bride can trust Kelli to help make her wedding perfect. And even if your wedding isn’t perfect, at least your make-up will be!

looked in the mirror, I literally got tears in my eyes ( she's good at taking those away too). I looked flawless the entire night! My pictures are perfect thanks to Kelli!

nd so much fun to be around! Makeup is a gift for her. Once she was done I thought "I didn’t know I could look this pretty!" My groom could not stop whispering in my ear all night how beautiful I looked (which meant the most to me!) So happy with the trail and exceeded my expectations on the wedding day! Thanks Kelli!

Not only did Kelli do my makeup to absolute perfection, but every single member of my bridal party looked unreal. Absolutely stunning. Everyone's makeup held all day - and she even arranged for a touch-up before the ceremony ( we did pictures earlier in the day before ceremony) which to me shows her dedication to her clients. I HIGHLY recommend Kelli to any bride and to anyone who needs makeup services in general. She is truly a visionary in her field!

prepared, had specific items the MoH desired. Overall, she provided everything I wanted and more...

me look and feel beautiful, she made my face look flawless while accentuating my features in all of the right places. I didn't even feel like I was wearing makeup and still recognized myself when I looked in the mirror. I would totally let her do my makeup daily if I could. Super professional, accommodating and the cutest thing ever. Total girl crush.

rable make-up salon, but she will also come to you at your home. She listens to what you want as a client and produces that vision. I would love to use her again for the next big event I encounter.

a fun, memorable experience :) and as far as the makeup goes, my bridesmaids and I all looked AWESOMELY beautiful!!! And it lasted ALL night! She really listened to everyone, too, about what they wanted... So it wasn't just about my makeup as the bride, but the whole group. Please, please use her!!!!!!

nd knows what make up to use so that you will look great on camera. We had a very warm day and I felt like my make up looked great to the very end! My bridesmaids all looked wonderful as well! I first met Kelli when I was a bridesmaid in my friend's wedding. She made everyone look gorgeous! When I got engaged, I called my friend asking who she was and where I could find her! I loved going into Kelli's studio for my practice make-up. She has a way of making you feel like you have been girl friends forever. On my wedding day, she came in and made everyone laugh and became part of the party! She also had us ready right on schedule. I was so glad that I made her a part of my day!

y on the day of my wedding. She will listen to what you want and give you great tips for your big day!

She is honest about what looks good on you and her attention to detail is unparalleled. She only added to the fun in the suite while getting ready on the big day and brought an assistant who was also amazingly talented and thoughtful. She is definitely your best choice to look and feel your best for your wedding or any other big event :) Enjoy!
