kls makeup artistry

s without looking overdone. And Jackie did an amazing job with the girls hair. I had each of the girls hair styled differently and Jackie knew exactly what I meant when I explained each look to her. Kendra and Jackie are perfect and I would recommend them to anyone no matter the look you are going for. They can do everything from minimalist to glam.

ed to look and feel. In the end the overall look came out better than I imagined. She did an amazing job of making me look lovely without taking away who I was. I received so many compliments on both my hair and makeup throughout the night. It lasted all night and still looked flawless at the end!

said in their reviews, but I still worried. I can tell you, picking Kendra will be one of the best decisions you make. I assure you that you and your girls will be absolutely stunning, and she's the perfect addition to the day. She's calm in the chaos, but also hilarious and helps lighten the mood when it's stressful. We had a total of 12 women including bridesmaids, moms, and godmothers... a huge group but Kendra and her assistant for the day, Jackie, managed all of us perfectly. I had incredibly high expectations, and even with that, I've never felt more beautiful. Forever grateful, and busy passing on her information to all the brides I know.

a cornerstone to pulling off our intimate, VERY rapidly executed faux elopement. From our very first email exchange, Kendra demonstrated a kind of selfless compassion for a panicked last-minute bride that I hadn't encountered from any other artist I contacted. Then when we met for the first time, Kendra put me completely at ease and indulged me endlessly. And finally, during the day of the event Kendra took last minute changes in stride, never casting judgement or doubt in my call and empowering me to the absolute end. Honestly, my hour with Kendra is a memory I'll cherish and one that I point to as grounding me enough to enjoy everything else that day. If you're looking for a talented makeup artist who'll get it done, you'll find many capable folks in the area. But if you're looking for a genuinely one-of-a-kind addition to your event, Kendra is the one for you.

t challenging and risky vendors to find in my opinion, because I am a bit picky with what I like and feel "myself" and comfortable with, especially on a huge and important day. I did my trial only a few weeks before the wedding, due to travels back to the states from Australia, but Kendra was very accommodating. I went into the trial not really knowing what I wanted, and I didn't communicate the best I could have. I was so pleased with my makeup and any changes I asked for my hair, Kendra made happily. It was also a plus to know Kendra has worked for Mac for years and uses mainly Mac products (my favorite brand and go-to). On the day of the wedding, we changed my curls a few different times - Kendra was extremely patient with me, as it was my miscommunication that caused this. She is so patient and kind! Kendra and Jackie were extremely timely in getting us all ready. Jackie did hair for my four bridesmaids, my mother, and my groom's mother. Kendra did my hair, and everyone's makeup. All the girls were ecstatic with how their hair and makeup turned out! My photographer was absolutely thrilled when she saw our makeup - Kendra really knows what she's doing! I highly recommend KLS Makeup Artistry for any big events and especially your special wedding day!

ll and I can't wait to have Kendra do my makeup again!

She was so knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and fun to be around! I have so much hair and she completed my up-do perfectly and timely. We had a early morning on the wedding day and she brought energy, fun, and perfect form to our hair and make up. By the end of the night, my hair and make up still looked amazing! I recommended her to a friend who absolutely loved working with her as well. KLS Makeup was perfect. We would highly recommend her!! Thank you Kendra!

wless, and my daughter looked more beautiful than I had ever seen her. On the wedding day, Kendra worked on the bride, bridesmaids, mothers and flower girls. Each one of us looked our absolute best and we were all excited to be photographed. Kendra is professional, dependable and very fun. We loved every minute of our time with Kendra. Thank you Dear!!! Kim

he big day. All this to say, I knew I was going to be extremely picky so I did exhaustive research. Kendra was recommended by a friend and she was absolutely perfect. The second you meet Kendra you are instantly put at ease and it is abundantly clear that she is a master at her craft and truly cares about her clients. She is talented and professional while remaining completely relaxed and easy going throughout the entire process - from planning to execution. Working with her was a breeze and she was perfectly cooperative and responsive in the months leading up to my wedding. On the day-of she arrived ahead of schedule and was able to glam out my 5 bridesmaids and mother in record time. Absolutely everyone raved about her and she is the #1 vendor I recommend when anyone is looking for suggestions. Kendra's glowing reviews speak for themselves - any bride who has worked with her is sure to sing her praises. I can't recommend Kendra enough and if you're on the fence, you better send an email quick because she is in demand - yet another testament to her skills and professionalism.

ayed on well the entire night. The team did well at listening to what we wanted and nailed it so effortlessly.

tee that you will be available? That is honestly completely ridiculous and insulting. It's clear she wants to keep her options open and would cancel on you a week before if she got more money for a wedding vs. an engagement shoot. Just waiting on something better to come along... I wanted to use the same makeup artist for my shoot as my wedding, which I think all brides would like to do so you know that you like the way they style you, and it's not just a crap shoot on the day of! When I expressed to Kendra that I was concerned that she couldn't commit to my engagement shoot that was only a month away, and that it was important to be that I use the same makeup artist for my engagement shoot as my wedding so that I could feel comfortable at at-ease (which ALL BRIDES should!!), she got all high-and-mighty and declared that she "doesn't audition" and said "My brides base their trust in me through my work." Okay lady, well I haven't had you work on me before, so there's no way to do that. I would recommend all brides to steer clear, and to find an artist who will respect your time and commitment, and not add to increased stress during your wedding planning process, which Kendra definitely did. I'm sure I will have a lot of friends getting married in the next 5-10 years in the Bellevue and Seattle area, and you can bet none of them will be giving KLS a call.

t in touch with and answered all my questions. I had my hair and makeup trial 4 days before my wedding and it went perfectly! The makeup and hair looked just as good at the end of the night as when she first applied it. I would definitely recommend her to any bride!

agement photos as well. The bridal hair and makeup package includes a trial run and she was so helpful with helping me figure out the look I was going for. She took some of my inspiration pictures and ran with it. Once she was done, I only asked for one minor tweak of a color but otherwise it was absolute perfection. I had honestly never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day and felt totally comfortable with her. She's laid back and easy going and really helped keep everyone relaxed the morning of. She's definitely a professional and knows what she's doing. I couldn't recommend her more!!

ble to replicate the look but make it look absolutely perfect. Kendra brought her assistant Drina who did all of the makeup for my 6 bridesmaids and 2 mothers. Kendra and Drina were so much fun, our bridal party was a little crazy, so we all had a good time. Kendra did the hair for all of the bridesmaids and mothers and did such a great job, everyone was very pleased. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup the day of and it all stayed in tact all night, even with all my dancing and sweating. I would definitely recommend Kendra and her team for any wedding party.

n law, and bridesmaids very happy with our looks. Every one, especially my (now) husband loved my make-up on my wedding! I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you again, Kendra! You're awesome!

ld recommend her to any bride looking for a fun and hip stylist with lots of talent! Kendra rocks. :)

eted everyone right on schedule (if not sooner) and was a joy to work with. You will not be disappointed with her work, you will feel more confident than you've ever felt!

o her thing and it turned out better than we had pictured. Thank you Kendra!

up didn't feel like it was caked on. Our pictures turned out great and my makeup stayed on into early in the AM as the party kept going.

ed for a better experience. I highly recommend kls!

bt in my mind that I will be booking any future hair and makeup services with her!

city like Seattle where the traffic can get a little sketchy. She even had an assistant to help with hair, this really helped us stay on schedule. She was on time, responsive to emails, and reasonably priced. Really couldn't have asked for more!

makeup held up great. But the best part was that she was so fun to work with because she has such a fun, pleasant personality. She is well worth for any event!

r venue to do my makeup (the bride) as well as the makeup of my bridesmaids and mothers of the bride and made us all feel like models. Everyone kept complimenting all of us on our makeup. My bridesmaids couldn't get over how much they loved their makeup. And I couldn't either. I couldn't have picked a better makeup artist. I highly recommend kls makeup artistry! She made all of us feel and look so beautiful.

are more than fair in the market. She is worth every penny! And listen to her when she suggests lashes, so knows what she is talking about.

new exactly what to do. She did my bridesmaids hair/MU also and -wow- did they look amazing!!! She came directly to our hotel room, starting playing music and really getting the girls into the spirit the morning of the wedding. She had a calming effect on all the girls which definitely helped considering we were all a little stressed [but who isn't on their wedding day :)]. I will definitely give her a call if I have any special events I am going to!!!

will look great in every shot. Kendra and her partner were on time, bright and early in the morning and finished 8 total clients in four hours! We called my bridal suite the "zen-room". Kendra contributed to the happy atmosphere with her great sense of humor and sweet approach to each girl. The MOG, MOB, bridesmaids and myself have never looked better and I can't thank Kendra enough!!

e-up for all of the bridesmaids as well as my mother... everyone absolutely loved their look! She had everyone done in a timely fashion and made the entire experience fun! I highly recommend Kendra as she is a true make up artist and can do exactly what you ask for and more!

up, but my 3 bridesmaids, mom and our flower girls hair. I couldn't have been happier with how our hair and makeup turned out!

trial for my hair and make up a month or so before the wedding and on the day it looked just as great! The bridesmaids brought images of what they wanted for their hair and make-up and Kendra did a great job with that as well! We all got so many compliments on the make-up and everyone looked gorgeous thanks to Kendra. She is so talented and I am incredibly happy that I booked her for my wedding! She is talented and the looks lasted all night which was great for a night full of events and dancing. I have nothing but great things to say about KLS and Kendra!!

eone I wanted to make sure that I found someone that could do my hair - she was PERFECT. She was prompt, polite and super friendly. I couldn't have asked for anything better.

night! She also did an amazing job on our hair. She used great products and it held up wonderfully. I don't have one negative thing to say. If you are looking for a relaxed makeup artist who handles stress well and gives you exactly what you are envisioning while making you laugh along the way, pick Kendra! You won't regret it!

per fun to work with, and made getting ready a great experience. She and her assistant were also quick - we were ahead of schedule getting ready and that made the rest of the day a breeze. I felt beautiful and my ladies looked drop dead gorgeous. I couldn't recommend her more highly, truly happy!

Kendra did exactly what I asked for and I left happy... then decided two weeks later it wasn't what I wanted. I emailed her to let her know we'd be doing something totally different the day of and she was really cool about it! Fast forward to wedding day.... Kendra showed up at my train wreck of a condo and did both my sisters hair, the MOB and MOG's hair and makeup and my hair and makeup. She was fast, super laid back and everyone looked and felt amazing. Everyone's hair and makeup stayed put all night and I felt like a million bucks, what more can you ask for? I would highly recommend Kendra for your wedding, or even just a special occasion.

bride! Kendra also did the makeup for our daughter’s three bridesmaids and myself. We all looked our very best without looking overly “made up” and our looks lasted all evening, including through a few hours of dancing. We have to give her heaps of extra gratitude because on the day of the wedding, Kendra was suffering from food poisoning. She could have easily cancelled and, though being disappointed, we would have understood. Kendra kept her appointment with us and spent several hours making sure each of us looked our best for this very special occasion. Her commitment to us demonstrated her high level of integrity and I would hire Kendra again, in a heartbeat!

l like she knows exactly how to make you look your best. Our hair and makeup stayed in place all day long. I definitely recommend Kendra to all future brides!

o look runway-worthy on my wedding day, and I am so happy that I chose Kendra to make my vision a reality. She is wonderfully talented; she is able to take Pinterest images and vague ideas and turn them into a polished and elegant look. I fell so in love with the hair and makeup she completed in my run-through that "we" replicated it for wedding day. [By the way, I've never seen so much MAC outside of the store!] On the big day Kendra arrived perfectly on time to work her magic for myself, my attendants, as well as the mothers. Everyone looked so glamorous, and the looks held all evening through over twelve hours of celebrating. Our wedding photographer sent a few sneak-peek frames from our special day, and I am so so pleased at how everything translated on lens. Thank you Kendra for helping me feel like a princess on the most special night of my life!

client is unsure, Kendra has a wealth of experience and knowledge that she uses to help counsel the clients on the latest trends and looks that would work with their personal style. Kendra is well known for making her clients feel beautiful and glamorous, and nit feeling overdone, she makes them the most beautiful versions of themselves. With each client, Kendra continues to be professional, fun, and very easy to work with. Many brides feel stressed on their big day, and it is so nice to have someone so flexible and reliable to work with. I have referred many clients to her and have her do my makeup for every special occasion. She will also be doing the makeup at my wedding. Kendra is absolutely fabulous!

he look we were going for. She also finished an hour ahead of schedule, which made it so we had more time to do photos before the wedding. I was so happy with my makeup, I felt beautiful but not like I had so much makeup on that it didn't even look like me. She is young, talented, and has a great eye for detail! Also, her pricing was reasonable. I would highly recommend KLS makeup artistry for your big day!

ented and was key to my wedding starting off right! She brought her sense of humor and good music with her which is always a plus in my book. You will not be let down with KLS Makeup Artisty!

self with professionalism and her energy on your special day is positive and up-lifting! My makeup and hair were absolutely perfect and nothing budged all day!! My girl's looked absolutely gorgeous and I have never seen my mom look so pretty! Kendra is 100% worth every penny you will pay her and more! She is a perfectionist and it shows in her work! I will never let anyone else do my makeup ever again!

e also gave my flower girl some mascara and eyeshadow to make her feel special like everyone else did. I would highly recommend Kendra and would love to work with her again! Thanks Kendra!

d her to new brides looking for someone that can do beautiful work and also bring fun to such a special day.

day of my wedding to do all of our hair and makeup. The pictures look AMAZING and I was getting compliments on my hair all night, even after hours of dancing!

o consideration before (during our consultation) and during the wedding and made everyone look wonderful (not that they didn’t before).  Makeup is important, especially on your wedding day. You want to look and feel beautiful and Kendra takes in all your ideas, makes suggestions and lets you walk down the aisle stunning. She has so much patience (it was a hectic bridal party) and was on standby to fix my makeup after the teary first look. I would recommend KLS Makeup Artistry over and over again.

ient envisions. If a client is unsure as to what they are looking for, she is helpful in suggesting ideas and goes above and beyond to make sure her clients are happy. She is professional and reliable; you can always count on her to arrive on time and to stay late if needed. She will even travel and accommodate long-distance events. Kendra has a way of making you not just look, but feel your best, and she has a wonderful, positive, personality to go along with her incredible work.

absolutely nailed the look and feel we were hoping to create. She is fun, outgoing, professional and will certainly give you the look of your dreams!

day, and the best part was that I looked like me still. She is a blast to have around! She only brought possitive energy to the room. I will only use her now for any major event. Kendra, you're a dream!

p and received many compliments. All my bridesmaids loved their makeup as well, and one of my girlfriends hired Kendra for her wedding! I've also had my makeup done by Kendra when I was a bridesmaid in a friends wedding. Kendra really makes the getting ready process fun and does an excellent job and is well worth the money. I am fairly picky about having my makeup done and was very impressed by her. If I could have Kendra do my makeup every day, I would, LOVE her!!

g then her own wedding day thanks to Kendra! Shes professional and knows what shes doing! Thank you Kendra for making me look so beautiful on the best day of my life!

perfect choice for my wedding makeup! Thank you Kendra!!
