Chelsea absolutely nailed my vision for my wedding makeup, and made all my girls feel fabulous too! As someone who doesn't wear makeup regularly, I was super focused on comfort and...
not feeling like I had makeup caked onto my face all day. Chelsea had great recommendations for lightweight products and kept everything feeling very natural and fresh. She is truly an incredible talent and I'd recommend her to anyone looking for makeup artistry!

Chelsea and Havilah (hair stylist) were fantastic from start to finish. They made the hair/makeup trial a lot of fun, and on the day of the wedding took extra special care to make ...
my mom (mother of the bride) feel beautiful.
They were also a safe space to vent after some family issues early in the morning!!
They listened to my ideas for styling and made them into a beautiful reality
Highly recommend.

I used Makeup by Chelsea for my wedding day makeup as well as my engagement pictures. Chelsea also brought along Ryan from Studio 110 and her team for wedding day hair. Chelsea was...
incredibly responsive and organized. I had never had my makeup professionally done and was worried as I have a surgical scar on my face. She was able to cover it and I never noticed it once on my wedding day. Ryan even fit us in to cut my husbands hair the day before the wedding and snuck away to style his hair the morning of the wedding. Every single one of the ladies who did our hair and makeup were friendly and did an excellent job. We were all so impressed by them.

il so that it would set flush with my hair and hair piece! They truly went above and beyond to make me and my girls feel our most beautiful on the big day! Can not recommend her and her team more highly as they made the day run smoothly and effortlessly and didn’t complain when going to the chapel played at least 5 times! Thank you Chelsea for your talents on the big day!

Chelsea did an amazing job for our wedding! Having fair skin, I was really worried about looking orange, and I spoke about that with Chelsea at my trial. She matched my skin tone ...
perfectly and made my skin look beautiful – no orange tones at all! Chelsea and Ryan (who did my hair) both arrived on time and were so efficient, working with me and my sister to get us ready. Chelsea even applied fake eyelashes for my mom! Both were so personable and friendly and made me feel comfortable instantly! I love how both Chelsea and Ryan did my hair and makeup for the wedding and made me feel like a million bucks!

I first met Chelsea at one of my best friend's wedding. She is amazing and a true artist. Naturally, when I got engaged I knew instantly that I wanted to hire Makeup by Chelsea to ...
do my wedding make up as well as my bridal party.
She made my entire wedding party look like they were about to step onto the red carpet. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Chelsea. It was the best money that I ever spent, each one of my girls, mother, mother-in-law looked gorgeous!
In addition, Chelsea has a great connection with a local hair stylist and they do lots of weddings together. It's truly a one-stop-shop!

Chelsea is so talented and it shows! Her airbrush makeup services had me, my bridesmaids, and my mom/mother-in-law looking absolutely fabulous from beginning to end of the wedding...
. As I was leaving the reception, multiple people said to me that my hair and makeup still looked as if I had just finished getting ready, even after I spent a few hours sweaty on the dance floor with everyone. It probably would have stayed through the next day, too, if I had left it on! On top of doing 9 people's makeup for the wedding, she came to our venue the day before and did manicures for a few of us, which were also outstanding! Chelsea is a wonderfully talented makeup artist and an amazingly sweet human, and I'm so glad I met her!

e-up trial I really didn't know what I wanted but she and Ryan (hair stylist) took the time to really understand my vision. On the day of the wedding, they were early, ready to work and were very professional but extremely pleasant to be around (especially considering how nervous I was the whole morning!). I really appreciated them being on time and providing words of encouragement the whole morning while working on everyone's hair and make-up. They completed 6 of us for hair and make-up in less than 3 hours! They really made me feel good and helped me to relax. I appreciate how well all my girls were treated that morning as well. I love that I felt like me when they were done with my hair and makeup, that's all I really wanted- was to feel like myself. I do not like to wear alot of make-up. I felt like I was wearing nothing at all! My make-up lasted the whole day-- the only touch up needed was lips but i just got a simple lip gloss to cover that. My husband was blown away and said i looked hot when he saw me! lolol I felt beautiful the whole day, My hair was amazing and stayed in place even though we had to take my veil in and out multiple times. Chelsea and Ryan are a great duo-- this was not something I ever had to stress about when planning the wedding and that goes to show how are awesome they. You need to pick vendors who are reliable-- it will save you time and energy. I highly recommend them for your wedding day!

dding day! I chose Chelsea and she did a great job with makeup for myself, my mom, and 2 of my bridesmaids! She was there bright and early on my wedding day with a smile on her face, and she did a wonderful job! I recommend Chelsea and I also recommend getting fake eyelashes and the airbrush makeup. It lasted all day and looked great! I also recommend Chelsea for your wedding manicure and pedicure. Her salon offers a quiet and intimate atmosphere, and I loved drinking a glass of wine while getting my nails done with her!

Chelsea was fabulous and great to work with! She came all the way to my in-the-middle-of-nowhere venue… and was not only on time but early! She did a great job making me and all ...
of my ladies look absolutely stunning… and her airbrush technique lasted not only the entire day… but my make-up still looked great the next morning! Everyone also looked amazing in our photographs. She is very down to earth, easy to work with, and makes everyone feel comfortable… she even make my sister (who hasn’t worn make-up in 12 years!) feel fantastic! She is also VERY good a keeping track of the schedule… and have everyone done early! Loved working with Chelsea and would recommend her to anyone!

veryone looked stunning! The makeup was flawless and no one looked "overdone." I had so many complements on my makeup and I almost wished I didn't have to take it off! It all stayed perfectly put too despite taking some pictures in the rain and a bit (or a LOT) of perspiration from a long night of dancing. Chelsea comes to you too, which makes hiring her even more convenient. She took detailed notes during my trial and showed up wedding day ready to work. She is very professional and uses top quality products.
