Leah Kelly

Owner/Head makeup artist

Originally from the Twin Cities, I spent most of my career in sunny Sydney, thriving in the fast-paced world of TV and film, as well as photoshoots with models and celebrities. Now, I've settled back here with my Irish husband, 12-year-old son, 10-year-old daughter, and our goofy labradoodle who keeps us on our toes. These days, I’m embracing a slower-paced lifestyle, focusing on one of my favorite passions—creating beautiful bridal looks. Nothing brings me more joy than helping people feel radiant on their special day. When I’m not working on makeup, I love spending time with family and friends and expressing my creativity through interior design and fashion.

I had the pleasure of working with Leah for my trial and wedding day makeup and I cannot recommend her enough! Leah was so personable and made everyone feel very comfortable. She was a total perfectionist when it came to our makeup, making sure every detail was just right. She stayed on schedule too, which was a huge help with all the pre-wedding chaos. I had 7 bridesmaids and my mom who needed makeup so she organized another artist to come along.They truly listened to what we wanted, and made sure everyone felt amazing and confident. The whole experience was fun and Leah's calm energy and sense of humor helped keep my nerves in check. Leah was my favorite vendor and I doubt there are many other makeup artists like her around. Just book her, you won't regret it!!

I first saw Leah's site and I said yes! I knew she was the one for me 5 minutes into my trial. Honestly, I looked so good. If you're looking for someone who does natural, glowy makeup... done! There are so many things to to think about in planning a wedding and this was the easiest!

My makeup was just as important to me as my dress. Leah totally exceeded my expectations. I felt confident and like myself just what I asked for - perfect soft glam. She is an artist (!). Leah made me laugh during what I thought would be a stressful time. To me, makeup is just as essential as my dress and the photographs. Working with Leah was the easiest decision in my prep. She is so worth it.

Hi Jess, Thanks for your lovely review! Your dress, hair, makeup, flowers, everything was ...

Leah travelled to Las Vegas for our wedding and from the moment she arrived she was just awesome. Not only is she incredibly skilled at what she does, but her positive energy and easy going attitude made everyone feel relaxed. I didn't want to take the chance of finding someone located in Vegas so I asked Leah to travel to our destination. I undersntand the value in a great hair and makeup artist so it was 100% worth it to me. She did hair and makeup for my wedding party and everyone looked stunning! She made sure each person's look was personalized, while still maintaining the vibe we were going for. Some people wanted strong glam and others wanted more glowy, natural looks. She managed the timing perfectly and kept everything on track. Leah truly became part of the celebration.We loved working with her so much that we invited her to join us for a drink at our reception! She fit in so well with our group and made the day even more memorable. Thank you Leah , for being such a huge part of our wedding and making everyone look and feel their absolute best! Julia

I had the pleasure of having Leah do my wedding makeup and she was absolutely amazing! From the moment she arrived she was so calm and made me feel completely at ease. She also had such a fun and happy vibe. which helped keep the mood light. She's incredibly talented and has tons of experience (she's even worked with celebrities). My makeup looked flawless and stayed looking fresh all day and through my reception. I couldn't have asked for a better artist to help me and my 6 bridesmaids feel beautiful on my wedding day! I highly recommend Leah —she will make you look like you, just better!

Hello Madi! Your wedding was so much fun and so were all of your bridesmaids! Everyone was...

so supportive of you on the day. I loved working with all of you. Thank you for your lovely review!

Leah took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted for my wedding makeup. I don't normally wear much makeup so she made me look glowing, polished yet natural. I was definitely sure I didn't want my makeup to look cakey like I've had before when I was a bridesmaid. We had a great time at our trial and on the wedding morning it felt like another friend was arriving at the door! You definitely get what you pay for because her skill, attention to detail and professionalism are worth every penny. She arrived with another artist and they had the 8 of us glammed up perfectly on time. I felt confident and beautiful on my wedding day and I highly recommend Leah to anyone wanting a fun and talented makeup artist for their wedding.
