Kelsey was so sweet and went out of her way to ensure I was able to receive my makeup trial as I do not live in the area my wedding was. She has great communication, and helped ensure everything went smoothly. I cried probably about a million times and my makeup did not budge. It looked amazing!!!

ebration morning feel less stressful.
Not only is she incredibly talented, but she somehow managed to make me look like the absolute best version of myself—still me, just with significantly fewer flaws and a suspiciously healthy glow. My makeup looked flawless in person, photographed beautifully, and survived happy tears, hugs, dancing, and a very enthusiastic trip to the dessert table.
She listened carefully to what I wanted, paid attention to every detail, and made the entire experience feel special. I received many compliments throughout the day, and I have her to thank for helping me feel confident, beautiful, and wedding-ready.
If you're looking for someone who is skilled, professional, kind, and possibly powered by magic, I would recommend her without hesitation. She was truly one of the highlights of my day!

Her communication was excellent—she set up my trial, answered all of my questions promptly, and made sure I felt fully prepared leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, she was a calming presence and such a joy to be around. She created a beautiful, natural look that lasted all day and night, and she made sure every detail was just right.
Beyond her talent, she was simply a wonderful vendor to work with—organized, reliable, and genuinely invested in making the day special. I’m so grateful I had her as part of my wedding team. Highly, highly recommend!

why! Kelsey's skill in creating a makeup look that makes you feel like the most beautiful version of yourself is so special. I brought inspiration photos to my makeup trial and Kelsey was able to use them to create a look that still made me look and feel like myself and enhanced all of my features so beautifully for our big day. Kelsey is also such a calm presence and makes you feel so at ease on a day where there are a lot of nerves and anxiety. Me and my bridal party had such a great wedding morning with Kelsey and were all so happy with our final looks. If you're looking for a makeup artist I would always recommend Kelsey!

ok for each of my bridesmaids and myself to help accentuate our natural features and skin tones PERFECTLY!! All of our makeup looks stayed on throughout the night between several tears, laughs, and some dance-floor sweat. The makeup looked amazing in both an outdoor setting and with flash inside, which is something that cannot be overlooked! Kelsey made us all look and feel so beautiful on the day of my wedding and I am so happy to have found her. She is communicative, professional, kind, and a really amazing vendor to work with! If you’re looking for bridal makeup, look no further- she is your gal!

We all know that the getting ready timeline can sometimes feel like it’s going too quickly and the nerves start flowing. However, Kelsey made the whole experience relaxing and helped me with all of the last minute finishing touches.
Not only did I feel absolutely Beautiful on my wedding day, but she exceeded any expectations I may have had.
She truly was the best and if you haven’t already booked her, you should just go ahead and book her now!!

My makeup looked absolutely flawless and beautiful on my wedding day! I felt so beautiful! It lasted 9 hours in Savannah’s June heat and humidity, through our first look, couples photos in the park, ceremony, reception, family and friend photos, and dinner. It still looked perfect at the end of the night and I hated having to wash it off!!
You won’t be disappointed with Kelsey! She’s great at any kind of look from simple and clean to ultra glam and costume makeup!

n initial makeup trial. I knew the moment she started that it was the perfect fit! Not only was she amazingly accommodating with my out of town schedule, but she was also so welcoming and kind. Her artistry skills are unmatched, as is her knowledge of beauty products and ability to curate your bridal vision into a reality. She also communicated with me every step of the way and was so helpful in recommending other local wedding professionals to do wedding hair, spray tans, and nails. I trusted her completely, and everyone she recommended was amazing!
Kelsey is such a professional, fun, and easy going person to work with. She was so careful to listen to what I wanted on my wedding day, and the look she created was absolutely stunning. I’ve never felt better, and everyone in my bridal party said it was the best makeup they’ve ever had done. Kelsey is such a talent, and I feel so lucky to have worked with her!
