kls makeup artistry

When Kendra did my makeup, I was blown away. I have NEVER liked makeup so much in my life - I loved her work!! And Jackie of course did an amazing job on hair as well! Kendra and her team were also quick and communicative, professional, and great to work with. I had 10 bridesmaids and I really didn't want an early start - we were able to start around 8:30am and were completely on time for the rest of the day. Kendra was also able to navigate personal/family issues with ease, which was very impressive and helpful. Thank you so much for everything, Kendra and team!

ur wedding and thru the whole year, I also learned a ton of information about different brands and their quality. I restocked my whole make up and skincare caddies with all clean products. She answered my questions and gave me clean product swaps, even way before our wedding. But then she did my hair/makeup and my bridesmaid's hair/ makeup and I felt incredible all day and night. I loved her and recommend her 100% all day everyday.

utiful version of myself on my wedding day. They were amazing to work with - both kind, super talented, down-to-earth nature, and so fun and easy to work with! My bridesmaids had a wonderful time having their hair and make-up done and they all looked so stunning! It was the first time I had makeup on that really felt good on my skin and eyes. This was the first time I wore a lot of makeup and didn’t even feel it. It was such a bonus that I was so comfortable on my wedding day! Speaks to the quality of products they use. Kendra was the one that handled email communications and details for booking. She was wonderful to communicate with throughout the whole wedding process and made my life easier! Kendra and Jackie are special ladies with a super wonderful gift and they did a magnificent job of transforming me into a bride. I just LOVE how I looked in my wedding photos! I have such fond memories of my wedding morning being so relaxing and fun getting all dolled up with my bridesmaids. I highly recommend this wedding team!

trial, and she more than delivered on the big day. My makeup was absolutely gorgeous and lasted the entire day. Thank you Kendra for your amazing work, the pictures just came in and I am more than grateful to have worked with you for my wedding. I highly recommend Kendra.

ely professional, creative, and has the greatest eye for what makeup looks great on everybody. Kendra uses all clean makeup and is extremely knowledgeable. She is the absolute best at enhancing your natural look and working with all different types of skin tones, eye shapes, etc. I had a history of not getting the best makeup professionally since I have a monolid, but Kendra absolutely hit it out of the park for me, my bridesmaids, mother, and now mother-in-law. Finally, Kendra is the greatest and brightest energy to be around. She kept us laughing and made the entire wedding morning seamless and fun. I am incredibly lucky that she was part of our vendor team and am hoping to work with her for any makeup needs in the future. I highly recommend Kendra as a makeup artist!

at our 6 am appointment would cause for my makeup to not last through the entire evening, but it is evident that Kendra knows what she is doing because my makeup last into the wee hours of the night. She was professional, she is talented and just an absolute treat to work with.

iated, and I was shocked at how long-lasting and beautifully-wearing the products that she used were. I didn't have to reapply anything besides lipgloss from the time when my bridal makeup was done at 1pm and when the night ended just after midnight! Clean beauty, for the win! Don't hesitate to reach out to Kendra for any wedding makeup needs!

uses clean/non-toxic products, is an incredible artist and just a wonderful person to be around. My bridesmaids and I all had so much fun getting our makeup done by her, and everyone looked beautiful!

ures of the trial and used that to recreate the same look for the wedding. She also sent an AMAZINGLY helpful day of time line that helped me plan the day and made sure my whole bridal party had enough time to get ready. I would 100% recommend her!

ad to go off of, and she worked magic! I would happily hire her again for any event! Highly recommended!

make my hair and make up PERFECT to make the vision of my look come to life. She was so sweet and made minor adjustments as requested. Also ALL of my bridesmaids are naturally gorgeous but they were still able to take them to another level of beauty that matched their dresses and the colors. Everyone seemed very happy with the result of hair and makeup! Special highlight for Kendra is I had a snafu with my stray tan (completely my fault) and she was able to help the crisis by covering it up with some make-up. Thanks you so much for making me feel beautiful on my special day!

of us are hair or makeup experts by any means so I was incredibly grateful to have Kendra's expertise and knowledge. She also applied lashes to my grandmother at the last minute after my grandmother saw our lashes and wanted some for herself :) I would recommend her to anyone looking for an incredibly talented stylist.

Michelle was an absolute gem to work with, I felt like a princess and my girls looked stunning! To make things even better, she and her assistant finished all 10 of us women (all with hair and makeup) with half an hour to spare, which is unheard of from the weddings I have been in. I would not hesitate to book with her again!

nd her assistant Jackie) were efficient and fun. They made every single one of us look incredible ALL night. They did an incredible job highlighting each persons unique features and the photos from the day speak for themselves. I couldn't believe it when I got back to the hotel after our wedding and somehow my hair STILL looked incredible. On top of the outstanding work, Kendra and Jackie were a pleasure to spend several hours with the morning of our wedding. They are super fun and will fit right in with all of your favorite ladies.

was the most beautiful woman in the world on my wedding day. She’s so talented and so sweet! She gave me advice on how to improve my hair and skin before the wedding. And let me tell you, it worked. Listen to her advice when you book her. I will definitely be using her services again for other photo shoots. Thank you so much for making me, my mom and my ladies feel so beautiful.

dear to work with. I am rating this 4 stars instead of five because of the assistant that was brought along. She did the makeup for most of my bridal party and the moms, and unfortunately, everyone had to fix their makeup. It was either not blended or just messy.

well as one of my bridesmaids, and my mothers'. I wanted something really glam looking and she definitely delivered! I got so many compliments all day. My mom and bridesmaid are also really picky and historically difficult when it comes to getting their hair and makeup done, but they both loved their hair and makeup too! I highly, highly recommend her!

dea of what I wanted for my makeup and she exceeded my expectations. My fine hair looked fuller than it ever has, and all my bridesmaids were ecstatic with their looks. I can't say enough great things about Kendra and would recommend her to anyone!

r, I was a little nervous having someone do my hair for my wedding, but she did a wonderful job. It looked flowy and natural but was super stable and not a single hair was out of place by the end of the night. Also, the makeup never felt heavy and lasted wonderfully through heat and a serious dance party. And to top it all off, she's a blast to have around!

f the girls. Everyone looked like the best versions of themselves 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 absolutely gorgeous. Kendra was very attentive to how I wanted 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!

her portfolio was beautiful and based on the sweet things people 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.

e efforts of my tireless MIL, best friend and fiance, Kendra was 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.

dding websites to choose an artist. Hair and makeup were the most 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!

One of my bridesmaids is hiring her for another wedding this fall and I can't wait to have Kendra do my makeup again!

ure the trail for my hair and makeup was exactly what I wanted. 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!

de up to look like someone she wasn't. Kendra's make up was flawless, 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

ashes so knew I needed to outsource in order to remain calm on the 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.

eeling like we had way too much make up on. Plus, the make up stayed on well the entire night. The team did well at listening to what we wanted and nailed it so effortlessly.

e wedding." SERIOUSLY? A month before my shoot you can't guarantee 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.

rvices without having met her in person. She was very easy to get 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!

wedding and she did an excellent job with the makeup for my engagement 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!!

easy feat. On the actual wedding day, January 9, 2016, she was able 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.

her for my trial. Kendra and Michelle made me, my mom, mother in 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!

f!

to mention hilarious. She was such a blast to work with and would recommend her to any bride looking for a fun and hip stylist with lots of talent! Kendra rocks. :)

kes a lot longer than anticipated but not with Kendra! She completed 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!

legant! We all had general ideas of what we wanted but let her do her thing and it turned out better than we had pictured. Thank you Kendra!

d Kls!!! Great customer service too!

e had a packed day. I felt soft, natural, glamorous and the makeup 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.

akeup was Exactly the way I imagined it! I could not have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend kls!

ed her work! I would highly recommend Kendra and there is no doubt in my mind that I will be booking any future hair and makeup services with her!

edding day, it really takes out a lot of stress especially in a 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!

eat eye. We all felt beautiful all night! Everyone's hair and 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!
