Kathy Smith Makeup Artist Reviews

Reviewed On 12/23/2021 by Hannah H
Unfortunately this wasn’t my favorite experience of my wedding day. Hair and makeup are so important to the overall “getting ready” wedding experience. My make up trial and the make up I received on my wedding day were very different. I had ask...
ed for a natural look and got just that at my trial — I felt like me and it was beautiful. On my wedding day, I felt like maybe Kathy was feeling rushed, and my make up was very heavy handed. She didn’t ask me for input, comments, questions, concerns, etc. Same for my hair. I actually didn’t get to see what the back looked like until I asked a bridesmaid to show me. She didn’t ask me if I was satisfied with anything…. I toned down the make up and felt beautiful over all. I didn’t feel it would be worth mentioning my disappointment in the look because I felt like I could fix it up how I wanted. Finally, the biggest disappointment of the night was my hair piece falling out during cocktail hour. Frustrating and disappointing to say the least.

I had a trial session with Kathy to do my hair and makeup. I asked for very natural makeup, and it was flawless. Several months later, she did my hair and makeup again, and she remembered exactly which colors she'd used previously. When the big day came around, it was really reassuring knowing she'd remember exactly which colors she'd used. I am very sensitive to makeup, especially my eyes, and Kathy suggested several amazing products to try out before the wedding (didn't want any surprise skin reactions on the big day). Love her kind personality and attention to detail.

n my big day. I saw firsthand the result of Kathy's work and I absolutely loved it! She is very personable and easy to talk to. She also responds to texts, calls, and emails promptly. She came to my house about a month before the wedding to do a trial, which went very smoothly. She gave me some suggestions on lip colors and recommended buying my own so I would have it throughout the day to do touch ups. The day of the wedding, she was about 10 minutes late to my house, and that is the only negative thing I could say about it. Her assistant was there on time and they still finished just as the limo was pulling up. They worked hard all morning but still made us all feel at ease. They even sang to some of our music! I used the following services: Bride (make up only- my hair is really short!) Mothers/grandmothers/bridesmaids (4) for both hair and air brush make up Flower girls (2) had hair done and just a perfect amount of blush/lip color for kids We ended up having enough in our budget to pay for everyone's hair. The cost was very reasonable and in line with other vendors. Kathy's personality and natural style is really what put her on the top of my list. I would recommend he to anyone!!

Makeup and Hair had been very stressful at my oldest daughter's wedding by another vendor years ago. As mother of the bride, I was determined that we would find someone who delivers and has a team of professionals who create a pleasant experie...
nce for the entire wedding party. Kathy is your lady - sweet, personable, caring, and very experienced. Most importantly - her #1 desire is to make sure the bride is happy and beautiful on the most important day of her life! My youngest daughter's wedding party was a large one with 10 bridesmaids, and the wedding took place mid-afternoon. Needless to say, not a lot of time to do the job, which included mothers and grandmothers. Kathy calmly told me that she has never run late in her delivery, and to trust her - she and her team could finish the job on time with complete client satisfaction. Kathy was true to her word and fees for her services are quite reasonable when compared to other vendors. She will travel to your home or to another location of your choice for the initial consultation, bridal portrait, and wedding day hair and makeup. She strives hard to please, and I can assure you, that you will not make a mistake in hiring Kathy and her creative team. End result: my daughter looked like a princess, the wedding party all had beautiful smiles on their faces, and we arrived on time to the ceremony. That makes one very happy mother of the bride!! Thank you Kathy for keeping your promise and exceeding our expectations in every way.

Once you use Kathy, you will never use any other makeup artist. She is that good.
