Kamie did an amazing job with make up for myself, my bridesmaids, and the moms! She created a beautiful natural glam look for me that was exactly what I wanted. The make up looked flawless all night, even with me crying repeatedly. She was a little slow with emails, but very responsive via text. She graciously did multiple looks at my bridal trial to find the perfect one. She was on time and professional throughout and even helped calm my nerves as the ceremony time was getting closer.
Would highly recommend!
We found Kamie on Instagram while looking for San Diego makeup artists for our wedding. Her work was beautiful and her Instagram showed that she does a wide range of makeup from a soft, natural look to a super glam look. This was perfect for us since we had such a wide range of women getting their makeup done who have different preferences. Our trial went extremely well and she was able to make any adjustments we asked for. On our wedding day, she was on time and was able to work in the space we gave her (although the lighting wasn’t too great). She brought her own lighting and chair and it worked perfectly. She gave each of us exactly what we wanted and made us all feel so beautiful. I honestly couldn’t stop looking at myself in the mirror! haha We loved her personality and energy! And she made us look better than we could have ever hoped! We HIGHLY recommend Kamie for any makeup needs!
Hire Kamie! You will be SO HAPPY! She truly knows how to make her clients feel confident, flawless, and beautiful. I had Kamie do my makeup for engagement photos, wedding trial before an event, bridal shower, rehearsal lunch, and wedding day! Each time we did a different look and it was seriously stunning! I had pictures and showed what I was thinking & she would give feedback and suggestions based off of my skin & outfit for that day. I would 100% recommend Kamie to all my friends and family needing their makeup done for any event - even a special night out with friends! I've truly never felt more confident and beautiful than I did when she did my makeup.
She also did my wedding party makeup for the wedding. Everyone looked flawless - we received so many compliments. Our makeup stayed on all day throughout pictures and the reception / dancing. I did not have to do touch ups at all. I would 100% recommend hiring Kamie - you will NOT be disappointed! :)
Kamie did an amazing job doing my bridal look on my wedding day. We started with a bridal trial and she was so personable and helpful in helping me decide what I wanted to do for my makeup. We ended up going with a soft glam look and it was perfect. I would highly recommend Kamie for your wedding day or for any big event.
I booked with Kamie for my bachelorette party and for my wedding day glam in November. She’s very knowledgeable with the products she uses and does what’s best for your skin. The entire process of scheduling with her was professional and accommodating. She TRULY made my visions come to life!! Kamie’s artistry is flawless and her calm sweet energy was so nice to have around on my wedding day. I love looking back on all of our wedding pictures because of how confident Kamie helped make me feel! Thanks SO much♥️
Kamielea is by far the best makeup artist I've ever worked with! We met by chance when she helped me pick out a lipstick shade at a local makeup store and a few months later, I booked her to do my makeup for a fitness competition. Fast forward a year and a half, and she has done my makeup for competitions, a photo shoot, a black tie event and several parties. All of these events require completely different looks, and she always nails it. Always sweet and professional, Kamielea is a class act, and you will not regret booking with her!
For so many years I’ve tried makeup artist after makeup artist and never got what I wanted. It was either too much or not enough and sometimes it was not even close to the look I described or showed them a picture of. That all changed when I met Kamielea for my maternity photo shoot. I’ve been hooked ever since and she’s done my makeup for quite a few events/shoots for the past year now. I’ll never go to anyone else. She crushes the “matte” look that I love so much. She can pretty much do it all! From natural glow to full coverage to amazing Halloween makeup. Look no further! You won’t regret it!
I had no clue who was going to do my makeup for my wedding as my husband and I decided to have a destination wedding. Walking through downtown San Diego, I walked into the MAC store and left my name for one of the makeup artist to contact me. Thankfully Kamie called me and we set up a make up trial. She was so flexible and met me at our time share in Escondido. Once she finished the makeup trial, I knew she was the one! It felt so natural and looked so glamorous! When my fiancee at the time saw me he was in awe on how natural it looked. Hired!! My bridesmaids fell in love with her work and they all decided to get their make up done by her too. My bridesmaids and I looked absolutely flawless on the wedding day! You can definitely see Kamie's genuine love for this field of work! She has a passion for what she does and she does amazing work! Stop looking! Kamie is your gal!
I initially hired Kamie to do wedding makeup for my bridesmaids & I for our July Wedding. She was actually referred to me by a family member. She was very easy to work with & promptly responded to my inquiry & answered all my questions. We did a trial makeup session in June on the day of my Bachelorette Party. I loved my look & got so many compliments. It gave me peace of mind knowing Kamie would also make me look that beautiful again on my Wedding Day.
I loved my look so much that I booked Kamie to do my makeup again for family picture taking 2 days after my wedding,
Kamie was very flexible with scheduling on our Wedding Day since I needed her to start a half hour earlier than originally planned. She arrived on time to set-up so we could stay on schedule. She was patient & didn’t get annoyed when one of my bridesmaids arrived late. Even though that put us behind schedule, Kamie didn’t sacrifice quality by rushing the creative process. She created makeup for each individual based on what each person wanted but offered suggestions to give them their best look. In the end we all loved our makeup. Thanks Kamie for making my bridesmaids & I look so beautiful on my wedding day. You’re the best.
