Cinci Makeup

I 100% recommend Cinci Makeup! Kelly used her superpowers and saved the day after a horrible trial. She's professional, punctual, and an expert in her field. My family and I were beyond excited for our makeup on my wedding day. Kelly listened to what I wanted, took many notes during my trial, and made me feel just like a bride. She's sensational!

Kelly "understood the assignment." She listened to what I was looking for (more dramatic than everyday makeup, accentuates my features, but still looks like me) and she delivered. All my bridesmaids loved her work as well. My makeup stayed from application at ~noon until I took it off at 3am. I also had Kelly stay on for a few extra hours for touch ups and given Cincinnati's humid climate, I was glad I did. Kelly is experienced and takes a "no-BS" approach to bridal makeup. She was also flexible and moved with me when I had to postpone my wedding. Recommend her for any bride or any special event!

Kelly did such a great job on my makeup as well as my bridesmaids. I wanted to look like myself but better and she did just that. I did not look overly done up and all of the photos came out beautifully. I did a makeup trial which was very helpful, especially to see how my makeup would wear throughout the day. I would highly recommend her!

Kelly did my makeup for my engagement pictures and it was flawless! 10/10 would recommend to anyone who needs makeup services for their big day ☺️

Love love Kelly and her makeup! She has done the makeup for my wedding (a covid reschedule with just my immediate family), and two weddings where I was a bridesmaid in past years and I highly recommend her to all my friends now too! She is one of the vendors I didn't have to worry about leading up to the wedding because I was certain she would do a great job. When you ask for natural makeup, you never quite know what you're going to get, but Kelly nailed it. I felt like myself, only better!

Kelly did the makeup for my COVID rescheduled wedding. She was so easy to work with and made everything incredibly simple. Everyone's makeup looked fantastic and lasted all day long. I would 100% recommend using Kelly for your wedding or special event.

Kelli was FANTASTIC. She kept me (the bride) and bridesmaids at ease the day of. She was super laid back and made everyone enhance their natural beauty (vs. making us look like clowns). If you need a makeup artist for your special day, you better book her fast because she is in hot demand!! 10/10 would recommend :D

Kelly did an outstanding job on everyone's makeup in the bridal party! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and the makeup lasted all day! The makeup was light and did not feel as though it was caked on my face, yet still dramatic enough to show up in the photos! She was amazing at collaborating timelines, reliable and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look their best on their wedding day. Thank you so much Kelly!

THE best wedding makeup!! The entire wedding party looked flawless!! Highly recommend!!

I originally worked with Kelly as a bridesmaid many years ago. Out of my multiple bridesmaid experiences, this was the only time my false eyelashes stayed on all day/night (and even into the next day). The makeup also looked natural, which is exactly how I liked it. Based on this, I knew she had to do my wedding makeup. I did a trial for our engagement photos. It was a fun, stress-free experience with great conversation. Wedding day makeup was also stress-free. All bridesmaids, my mom, and I loved our final looks. And yes, my lashes stayed on through a night full of dancing and late-night karaoke :)

I can’t say enough about Kelly and the service she provided. My now husband and I were together for 10 years, 5 of those years being engaged and the moment we decided on a wedding date, I reached out to Cinci Makeup to make sure Kelly was available for our date. I was able to utilize Cincy Makeup’s Grace for applying my engagement photo makeup and Kelly for my wedding day. Kelly was very accommodating and worked closely with me to ensure that I have the best experience and and have everything I had envisioned. Details are what really make a difference and since I was planning a very small intimate wedding, Kelly made sure I didn’t have to sacrafice anything. Despite the face that there was no wedding party, Kelly came onsite and provided services for myself and 3 other family members. My sister, step-mom and MIL all loved Kelly and her skills just as much as I did. Her attention to detail and individualized attention is what sets her apart from others in her field. Brides planning a wedding can skim on some aspects... makeup is NOT one of those! You will not be disappointed if you choose Cinci Makeup’s Kelly Neaves!

Kelly is absolutely amazing! I had her do bridal makeup up for my wedding and was also in another wedding she did make up for. She listens to what you are wanting and makes sure every little detail is perfect. I would recommend her and her team 100%!

Kelly was amazing for my June wedding. I was very picky about a makeup artist as I previously worked at Sephora and was a make up guru. I went thru several Instagram pages and wedding photos to find just the right one. Kelly was very personable and was on time for the makeup call. She was very efficient and was able to do 8 people all on her own! My make up stayed ALL NIGHT. No shine at all! I got compliments the whole night even into the wee hours of the morning. You won’t go wrong with Kelly!!

Kelly was AMAZING!!! My bridesmaids, my mom, and I felt so beautiful on our wedding day. She was so professional, knowledgeable, and easy to work with; from doing the bridal makeup trial, communicating back and forth before the wedding, and doing the makeup the day of our wedding. She really knows what she's doing! Great prices and will travel on location to help you get ready. Also, my makeup lasted ALL DAY and our wedding was August 17. We did our photos outside in some pretty serious humidity and I danced all night until midnight and my makeup still looked just as flawless at the end of the night as it did right after she applied it. Go check her out (she also does amazing micro blading too!)!!

Kelly is a not only a truly talented makeup artist but also a top-notch person and businesswoman! She was very responsive and detail-oriented from first contact to my wedding day. (I think she was more invested in the logistics of the day than this high-strung bride - quite the feat!) Most importantly, she made me look my absolute best - *glam* yet not overdone. My bridesmaids’ makeup looked absolutely stunning as well. Cinci Makeup is the best!

Kelly was great to work with and is amazing at what she does! We had a range of ages and races in our bridal party and she and her assistant made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful! Worth the price to feel beautiful on your big day!

Kelly was a joy to work with for both of our daughters' weddings! Her makeup style enhances natural features and brings the face to life without looking heavy or overdone. Importantly, everyone in both wedding parties photographed perfectly - just the way we want to remember the special day! I wish I could have her do my makeup everyday!

Kelly is AMAZING. For our wedding day I wanted to find a makeup artist who would make me feel comfortable, beautiful, and like myself/ look natural. Kelly did just that and has an amazing and fun personality in addition. My bridal party all loved working with her. I really appreciated her idea to pair the trial run with the engagement shoot! If you are able to, I highly recommend the rockstar package. I cried during the first look, and sweated/ cried during our ceremony (to be fair it was hot and June haha). I was grateful Kelly was there to touch me up so I looked great the whole day through!!!

I found Cinci Makeup on this webside (Theknot.com) Kelly & her team were AMAZING and did an FANTASTIC job on all my bridesmaids, mother(s) and myself for my wedding. I would highly recommend them for any professionally make-up needs. Thanks again for making me beautiful for my wedding!

With Kelly, we were so confident that she is amazing that we did not even do a make up trial! She nailed it perfectly the day of for me and my entire wedding party! At first it was stormy, but in the afternoon it was so humid and hot... during the entire day never once did we feel like we would sweat our makeup off! At the end of the night after I took everything off, my face was so smooth and it felt like I never had any on for over 16 hours! I felt beautiful the entire day! Thanks Kelly and team! <3

This is the second wedding that Kelly has done for our family. She is wonderful! Everyone's makeup was beautiful. She know exactly what to do so that everyone looks great in the pictures. She listens carefully to what each person wants and then executes beautifully. She is so easy to work with and makes sure that everyone feels special and is completely happy. We loved working with Kelly and highly recommend her!

Kelly and her team produced some amazing results for me and my wedding party. She took the time to go over what I thought I wanted, made some good suggestions to tailor my look, and was fun to talk to while sitting in the chair!

Kelly did my wedding make up for me & my bridesmaids and she is amazing!! Literally a miracle worker! We all looked so beautiful and the make-up lasted perfectly all day! We also loved the little touch up kits that she sold! I would highly recommend Kelly for your make-up needs!!

Kelly did an amazing job! She was super responsive and willing to do my trial well in advance of the actual wedding. On the day of she was efficient and the makeup for me + 5 others all looked amazing!! Not to mention come midnight it still looked just as awesome as it did when it was first applied 10+ hours before. Highly recommend :)

Cinci makeup was beyond amazing. She was nothing but professional and such a joy to be around on my wedding day! She did all my bridesmaids and the mothers flawlessly. She takes her time to make sure you're absolutely stunning and it lasted all night without any touch ups! I highly recommend her

Perfect! I can not say enough great things about Kelly! I went for my trial and absolutely loved it. Booked immediately and so did my bridesmaids! When my big day came it was even better than before. She is phenomenal and my face looked flawless and so natural. My makeup stayed on perfect all night!

Kelly is amazing. She did makeup for my wedding and the wedding of a friend. She made everyone look beautiful. I would definitely recommend her!

Kelly Ledford from Cinci Make-up was highly responsive and professional. I wanted to have a classic, natural look for my wedding make-up and she provided exactly that. She tailored her make-up applications to what everyone requested. Kelly was friendly and a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Kelly and Cinci Make-up!

Cinci Makeup was great! Wonderful job and experience had by the whole bridal party.

Dont look any further than Cincimakeup. I booked Kelly for my wedding day and I couldn't be happier. Kelly came onsite to do mine and my bridesmaids makeup. She is highly talented and her work is flawless. I also did a trial with her beforehand and it was nice to work thru some final details before the wedding day. Kelly is worth every penny, my makeup was perfect all day long! Thanks again to Kelly for giving me my perfect look on my wedding day!

Dena did my make up and it turned out amazing! all my bridesmaids ended up getting theirs done as well! it was so nice to have her come to us and she was so great! highly recommend her!

I wanted my makeup professionally done and was having a difficult time finding someone open for my wedding date. Kelly contacted me and said she was available (on a Sunday) and was happy to do it. I did a trial run and was blown away by her work. She did makeup for 4 women in total (including myself) and we were so excited by how wonderful and natural the makeup looked. She even stuck around to hang out with us while we were getting ready. Not only is Kelly amazing at her work, her personality and humor make her the complete package. Trust me, you will not be disappointed on any level. She exceeded my expectations! Incredible and amazing work!

Dena is an amazing makeup artist. She is so sweet and very professional. It was such a hot day, and we took pictures before the wedding, as well as after. My makeup looked great throughout the entire day, and still looked beautiful at the end of the night. The studio was beautiful too, made for great pictures. I would recommend Cinci Makeup for any special occasion.

Seriously Kelly and her team do AMAZING work!!! I had booked her for a boudoir session for a wedding gift and was ashtonished by her work so I hired her for my wedding. She made everyone look absolutely gorgeous! Definitely request Kelly to do your bridal makeup but her whole team is amazing!

Dena from Cinci Makeup did my an awesome good with my airbrush makeup for my wedding. It looked great and held up pretty well against the extreme heat. After the ceremony we took pictures outside and the sweat did cause some of the foundation to come off, but it was an unusually hot dat - upper 90s and sunny. On a typical day, I have no doubt that the makeup would have lasted well passed the end of the reception. The only reason I gave Cinci Makeup 4 stars is because it thought it was pretty expensive. My makeup cost $200 and my trial run was $50. I typically would not spend that much money on my makeup, but I decided to splurge a little for my wedding.

Kelly at Cinci Makeup is SO AMAZING! She really knows how to make a bride feel beautiful on her speical day! Kelly has done several other weddings that I was a part of, and continues to amaze me with her expertise. THANKS for making me feel beautiful!

Kelli from Cinci Makeup is the best makeup artist. she understands each persons style and makes you the best version of yourself without looking too done up. she is the best.

Kelly was awesome! During the trial run she actually listened to what I was explaining to her to make sure I got the look I wanted. She nailed it! I was nervous after having a terrible experience at BrideFace, but Kelly is incredible. She was so much fun to be around and did amazing work. I'm so glad I used her! A little pricey, but worth every penny. I never had to re-touch my makeup.

Kelly did a great job on my makeup for my wedding. I highly recommend her for women of color. She knew what colors to use on my skin and I looked gorgeous. I also loved the airbrush. She was professional and great to work with.

My makeup looked terrific! I received so many compliments and many people commented that the makeup was the best they'd ever seen. Kelly is very good.

My bridesmaids and I all got our makeup done by Kelly. All of them wanted a different look and she was able to accomidate them and make them look beautiful! She uses the airbrushed foundation with is WONDERFUL and stays put so well. Her prices are competitive and she is very talented! We had an incident with my payment, which caused some stressing on my part, but she was able to resolve it quickly which is why I am giving her the full 5 stars. On my wedding night, I left my makeup on and when I woke up later it still looked perfect and fresh!!! Haha! It was great.

I LOVED Kelly! She did such an amazing job for both my engagement photos and wedding photos. She was a joy to work with and so flexible. She took care of nine bridesmaid, the bride and mother of the bride. Everyone look beautiful! I have never felt as beautiful as I did that day. I would definitely recommend her and am planning on getting a private makeup lesson when I come home for a visit.

Kelly at Cinci Makeup was fantastic. My entire bridal party looked absolutely fantastic and I have received many compliments on our makeup. She was fun and professional and I would recommend her to anyone!

I had my makeup done for all my events. My engagment pics, bridal shower and bachlorette party as well as my wedding. My makeup was amazing for everything!!!! The airbrush technique really was enhanced and looked amazing in the pictures!!! Very easy to work with!!! Highly recommended!!!!
