Kerri Herlihy-Bridal Makeup Artist

to please!) looked absolutely gorgeous and, more importantly, loved the way Kerri made them feel. I would work with Kerri again in a heartbeat!

ridesmaids and my mom. I can’t recommend Kerri highly enough!!!

want and makes sure you love it. Kerri nailed the natural look I wanted. Hire her!!! You will not regret it.

out to right after I got engaged. I knew she would make me and my bridal party feel confident and pretty, and that was one huge stress I could take off of my plate. Kerri is so talented, listens to your wants and needs, and makes you truly feel like you are her friend. I especially love how she makes you look natural, but at the same time, it still looks like you have makeup on. Kerri can match the makeup to your skin without second guessing, and let me tell you, I have had many makeup artists put foundation on me that was either too light or too dark! My mother in law was very hesitant and nervous about getting her makeup done, and Kerri was so fantastic with her. I couldn't even tell you how many people complimented the bridal party on their makeup. I 1000% recommend Kerri to everyone and anyone! Thank you Kerri for making me feel extra confident on my special day and I cannot wait for another event where I can have you do my makeup!

ing - and that finally happened! Kerri is SO incredibly talented, organized, responsive, and above all so kind! The makeup for myself and all of my bridesmaids was absolutely flawless - so natural and beautiful. I cannot recommend Kerri enough, and I hope to have another fun event soon to book Kerri again soon!

mpletely covering my skin. On top of being incredibly talented, Kerri is a total sweetheart. You'll wish the process took longer just so you could chat with her more. Do yourself a favor and book Kerri when you have the chance - she will go above and beyond to make sure you feel beautiful on your special day!

e all of my bridesmaids and my mom so comfortable and was so personable with each and everyone of them. Kerri treated me like one of her close friends and calmed my nerves while I was getting ready. She is a rockstar and she made me feel so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day. All my friends and I can't wait to host her at one of our houses for a makeup tutorial. Kerri is the absolute best.

ve to other makeup artists I researched around Boston. On the wedding day itself, all of the ladies that got their makeup done by Kerri were raving about what a great job she did in helping to achieve an elevated, but natural look. She also 100% took care of me - she closed the door when doing my makeup so that everyone wasn’t coming in and out and played classical music to help calm my nerves. Would highly recommend Kerri!

ically wear makeup and what Kerri did was light and natural and stunning. I definitely recommend hiring Kerri!

y wedding day (most of them who rarely even wear makeup!) and everyone felt comfortable in their own skin with her natural touch. Kerri is incredibly talented, efficient, and gives honest feedback (particularly helpful when I was indecisive about my lip color and lash extensions). I can’t recommend her enough and can honestly say I wouldn’t have felt or looked as good as I did on my wedding day without her.

actually had my sister do a makeup trial with her based on an inspiration photo, and she was able to replicate it beautifully! I knew that if she was able to do that, I could be confident in whatever look we ended up choosing on wedding day. When I finally met her in person, she was so sweet. She listened to my concerns and general ideas about the look that I wanted, and I trusted her to do whatever she thought was appropriate, and loved the end result! I'm someone who doesn't wear much makeup, (usually only eyeliner, mascara, and brow liner), and the makeup she did was truly light and natural. We felt it was important that I look like myself on wedding day, and I did! It was perfect. I loved the makeup she did on everybody, including bridesmaids and parents. She is so talented! From booking until even after the wedding day, she's been incredibly responsive to emails. I highly recommend booking with Kerri! Update: My bridesmaids loved her so much that one of them hired Kerri to do her makeup for her own upcoming wedding!

h was a real breath of fresh air. I'm not someone who knows a lot about makeup, but Kerri never made me feel silly for not knowing something or not having an opinion on a particular topic. My trial was chill and fun, and it felt more like hanging out with a friend than having a stiff, professional appointment. On my wedding day, Kerri was an island of calm in my chaos. I was dealing with a lot of nerves, and Kerri went out of her way to make me feel at ease as much as possible. She made sure I could get away from the crowd for a little while, and she gently but firmly managed my group when she could tell I was feeling overwhelmed. My grandmother decided at the very last minute that she wanted her makeup done, and Kerri rolled with it even though that wasn't part of our original contract, which was incredibly kind of her. All in all, I seriously could not recommend Kerri highly enough. Throughout everything, working with her felt like having another friend on my side, someone who was solidly in my corner and who would go to bat for me. Oh, and her makeup looks were incredible on me, my bridesmaids, and my family members. Natural, classy, and lasted all night!

ontacted. Planning a wedding during the height of a pandemic is nerve-wracking but Kerri helped make my day entirely stress-free, meeting me at my hotel and being a very calming presence. My makeup was absolutely perfect—I looked exactly like me and the makeup photographed so beautifully! If you are looking for a true artist who knows exactly what she is doing then hire Kerri immediately! I cannot recommend her highly enough!

e throughout. I did my makeup trial with her pre-COVID, and she made me feel very comfortable and helped me try a few options to see how much makeup I would like as someone who doesn’t usually wear makeup and wanted a very light look. A few months later, we had to reschedule our wedding, and Kerri was very flexible as we were considering new dates and kept our original contract pricing as it was (very kind of her!). When the day finally arrived, Kerri was ready to go - she emailed a few days ahead to confirm details, arrived early, was efficient but also careful and thorough, and just fun to be around! My party had a great time chatting with Kerri, and we all felt very comfortable even though most of us don’t wear makeup often. I asked Kerri for an even lighter look than we did at our trial, and she did a great job so that I felt picture-ready but still very much like myself. I wholeheartedly recommend Kerri to anyone looking for a natural look for an event, even makeup newbies! She’s a pro and a great person to have in your entourage on your wedding day.

When originally reaching out regarding a trial, she was extremely understanding of my anxiety about having a trial in the midst of a pandemic and focused on just my eyes while I wore a mask. Even with just having my eyes done, I left that day knowing I had to lock her in for the wedding. Fast forward to the day of the wedding, Kerri made my bridesmaids, both my mother & mother in law along with myself, look and even more importantly, feel gorgeous. Kerri knew what to highlight on each of us so that we all looked like an enhanced version of ourselves. I cannot tell you how many compliments I personally received about my makeup! I would absolutely have Kerri do my makeup again (and she will be for my best friend’s upcoming wedding in September!) – she is so easy going, personable, professional and excellent at what she does.

ing for perfectly, and all of my bridesmaids loved their makeup as well! Very talented and versatile. She was overall just a great presence to have while we got ready!

st minute changes. On the day of the wedding, she showed up with plenty of time. She finished in what seemed to be no time at all. She was very friendly and personable with all the girls and moms. I would recommend Kerri to anyone that needs a makeup artist!

e up with care and makes it look completely natural. Kerri is funny and made me feel at ease on my wedding day. She has the bride be alone while applying her make up to allow time to decompress and relax.. which worked out perfectly for me and my nerves. I highly recommend Kerri and will definitely use her again in the future!

at the beginning. Kerri first did my makeup for Miss Teen MA and I fell in love with her work. I then booked her for my prom makeup, too. Even then I knew she HAD to do my wedding makeup. My mom actually booked Kerri for my wedding as soon as we had a date because we both love Kerri so much! She is so knowledgeable and thoughtful about every detail. She plays up your natural beauty. She always makes me feel glamorous & fabulous. I cannot wait to work with her on my wedding day!

rything came out- I felt so beautiful for my wedding. She did make up for 11 people and there was no rush. She gets into her groove and got us all done with time to spare! Everyone looked amazing. She is so easy to get along with and listens to exactly what you want. I would book her to do my make up for every event if I could!!

ing a perfect job, which is important on the wedding day when there's so much to do. I definitely recommend her!

into a Celine Dion look-alike. Her price point is awesome and she is super personable. I love that she prefers to have the brides Make up done alone without anyone in the room. It really eased my mind. She is fantastic!

and she made me feel so at ease from the trial to the wedding day. I am so glad a friend recommended her because I couldn't have asked for a better wedding makeup artist!
