Kelly was so pleasant to work with. She made us all look so glamorous while still looking like our natural selves. I loved that she was so knowledgeable about skin tones and was able to match my tanned skin on the first try. By the end of the night, usually people complain about wanting to take off their makeup, but not us! We still felt like we weren't wearing any. That was a great feeling. Would recommend Kelly in a heartbeat!

Kelly is AMAZING! I’m not someone who wears much makeup, so I was worried about looking overly done. But Kelly completely understood the assignment. She gave me the softest glam. My skin looked radiant, and my lashes were perfection. I’ll never forget her handing me the mirror and me tearing up because I actually felt beautiful.
