Kimberly was an absolute joy to work with for the makeup!
From the beginning, she took the time to understand not only the look I wanted but also what would make each of my bridesm...
aids and my mom feel comfortable and confident. She was fun, flexible, and made the entire morning relaxed and enjoyable. She seamlessly set up alongside our hairstylists, and everything flowed effortlessly.
One of my biggest concerns was looking like myself. I didn't want my makeup to feel overdone or heavy. Kimberly created the perfect look: natural, polished, and beautiful.
She brought that same thoughtful approach to everyone in our group. My bridesmaids and mom rarely wear makeup, and Kimberly gave each of them a look that enhanced their natural beauty without making them feel like they were wearing too much. They looked amazing in person and in our photos, and everyone felt comfortable and confident.
If you're looking for a makeup artist who listens, adapts to each person, and creates beautiful, natural-looking results, I can't recommend Kimberly highly enough.
Kim was absolutely amazing. Besides being incredibly responsive, she is also one of the most kind people you will ever meet. She makes you feel heard, and definitely takes your per...
sonal needs into account. Kim did 13 girls makeup on my wedding day and everyone looked absolutely stunning!!! I’m so impressed and cannot recommend her enough. She is incredible!!!
There are simply not enough words to describe the lasting impact that hiring Kimberly has made on my life. To start off, she is incredibly responsive and enthusiastic in each inter...
action we had prior to meeting. When I met her for my trial, the rest was history!!! Obviously her many years of experience resulted in GORGEOUS makeup, but her talent isn’t even the best part about her. Kimberly immediately made me feel so comfortable and quickly became a friend. In the months leading up to the wedding I was counting down the days until I got to see her again. I truly mean it when I say the getting ready process with her was one of the top 3 moments of my entire wedding (not kidding!) Hiring Kimberly was the best decision I could have made for my wedding- my bridesmaids, mom and I felt totally stunning but we also made a lifelong friend in the process. Kimberly, you know how much I adore you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart 💕💋
I was so fortunate to find Kimberly for my wedding day! I was stressing to find someone I trusted and felt comfortable with, I spend hours and hours researching as I am not from MA...
and had no idea even where to start to find someone. As soon as I made contact with Kimberly I knew that she was the one to hire. Not only did I feel an instant connection with her and like I knew her for years she is talented, professional and has very reasonable pricing. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day thanks to Kimberly! Not only did she exceeded my expectations but she did with all 7 of my bridesmaids and my mother. Everyone could not stop talking about her how personable, outgoing, and how talented she is and how she nailed every single one of their makeup. We were all amazed how she completed all 9 of us with plenty of extra time to do touch ups on all. Not to mention she will work well with whoever you hire for hair and any other vendors you have. She is a must have for your wedding day and any occasion for that matter! You will not be disappointed!
I met Kimberly for a trial of my bridal makeup and instantly connected with her! She is the kindest and most beautiful woman and I was so happy to have found her! Aside from the pe...
rsonal experience, she is an ultra professional makeup artist and leaves no details out! During the whole process she was checking in making sure I was satisfied with the results. The wedding day was no different - she met my family and everyone loved her! I felt beautiful without being “over-done”. I can’t say enough about Kimberly and highly recommend her for ANY occasion where you want to look your absolute best ❤️
Kimberly was amazing. She is so kind and wonderful to work with. It felt like catching up with a good friend while she did my make up. She takes really excellent notes during your ...
make up trial and asks all the right questions about how you want to look and how different products work for you. Day of, everything stayed put perfectly, barely needed a touch up. She also did my mother and my two bridesmaids. One of my bridesmaids never wears make up and I don't think she knew how beautiful she could look. She actually teared up. Kimberly made my day so special and she is the absolute best.
Kim was absolutely amazing to work with from the very first time I met her at my trail to the wedding day! She made everyone feel so comfortable in their own skin and everyone rave...
d about how much they loved their makeup!! Kim was so easy to work with and kept everything right on track for scheduling. She showed up early and was ready to go as soon as she got to the house!

and made us all feel so confident and beautiful. She also was super flexible when my hair stylist asked to reschedule my trial so that I could have both done on the same day. Can’t say enough good things about her, she was as my goddaughter called her “a magical makeup fairy godmother”!
Where do I start!? Well, I guess that I can’t wait to find a reason that I need my makeup done again 😊. Kim is kind, fun, and super talented. She was very open to feedback and com...
mitted to giving me and my small crew the look we were each looking for. I can honestly say I’ve never felt so amazing than on our wedding day and that is in large part to the kindness and talent of Kim. Thank you so much Kim ❤️
I CANNOT say enough great things about Kimberly! When I met her at the trial, it was like we'd known each other forever! She is the nicest person and so easy to get along with, we ...
hit it off immediately! Getting ready the morning of the wedding was a breeze, even with 8 of us getting our makeup done and each of us with different requests for how much or little makeup we wanted. As someone who worries easily and is a bit of a perfectionist, I TRULY appreciated that Kimberly made our morning so stress-free and relaxing - we even finished ahead of schedule! Never did any of us feel stressed or rushed, conversation flowed easily, and Kimberly made us all look gorgeous. Not only were our makeup looks amazing, but she really made each of us feel so confident and beautiful while sitting in her chair...one of my bridesmaids called her the "ultimate hype-woman"! Getting ready with Kimberly was so much fun and she really brought such a great energy! She is truly the best person to work with!
Kimberly is the best makeup artist you can hire for your wedding. I have had my makeup done by her for two weddings. One I was a bridesmaid (2018) and the other was for my own wedd...
ing (2021). She did a fantastic job for each! She takes into account any feedback you have or areas of concern you have and makes sure you look perfect for your big day. She is so fun to work with too! She keeps you laughing and having a good time. It was such a big relief to have her there and know that it was one less thing we had to worry about. Our bridesmaids and us had such a fun time with her that we wish we could have had her come to the reception! The makeup she did for all of us looked so good and she did exactly what each of the bridesmaids and brides asked for. Everyone was so thrilled with their makeup for the day and we all looked perfect for pictures and partying! If you are still looking for a makeup artist - look no further! Book her immediately!
she is so kind and does a great job!
Hiring Kimberly for my wedding was the best decision I ever made! I knew immediately when I went in for my trial that Kimberly was the one for me. She is the sweetest thing in the ...
world and makes you feel like she’s your lifelong friend. On top of being an awesome person, her makeup is phenomenal! I explained my wedding colors to her (purples and greens) and she created a look that wasn’t too overdone but not too plain either - it was perfect! On top of that, the makeup lasted the entire night and it felt like I didn’t even have any makeup on. I would book Kimberly in a second for makeup application in the future and HIGHLY recommend her!
Kimberly was amazing for my wedding day! Made all of my bridesmaids and myself look like princesses. Absolutely would recommend! And she's incredibly personable and kind!!
Kimberly is the most caring and professional makeup artist you'll find in the area. She traveled to Portsmouth, NH for my wedding. She efficiently did my bridal make up and 9 other...
people on the morning of my wedding. It was wonderful to have her in the bridal suite. Her prices are more than reasonable for the amazing product she delivers.
Kimberly was wonderful in every way. She was warm, communicative, and detail-oriented when we originally began corresponding--so much so that I booked her even though we wouldn't b...
e able to have time for a trial (I live out of town, and she was already booked solid the times I was visiting for wedding prep). THe day of, Kimberly was exactly the kind of person you want to spend time with on your wedding morning--calm yet enthusiastic, incredibly positive, prompt, organized, and just lovely in all ways. All my girls and my mom loved her and she put everyone at ease. Highly recommended!
Kimberly did a great job--and on short notice! We weren't even able to have a trial, and she still did it perfectly the day of. She was funny, kind, and I'm so glad I booked her.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kimberly because I wish I could give her 10 stars. She recently provided makeup services for my wedding. I knew from the first moment I m...
et her at the trial that I would love her and her work is just as fabulous as her personality! My bridesmaids (5) MOH, mother, mil, aunt and family friends also loved working with Kimberly. She is warm, funny, and has a wonderful positive energy that you want around you on one of the biggest days of your life! She is also prompt, professional, and great at what she does-making people look beautiful. Prior to the big day, Kimberly was thoughtful and in every contact with her she always asked if there was anything else she could do!
Kimberly takes the time to ensure that everyone is completely satisfied with their services and will go above and beyond to ensure that nothing is out of place.
Kimberly was loved by myself and all of my wedding party including my mom (who is a tough critic) and did an amazing job on all of our makeup. Everyone commented on how good my mak...
eup looked and how I was the most beautiful bride, which I attribute to Kimberly's skills! She is so fun, professional, and the sweetest person ever. She comes extremely prepared and is the cleanest makeup artist... So organized and anal about supplies (which is a good thing when it comes to your wedding day). Loved her!
We had the BEST experience with Kimberly! She did an incredible job and was such a pleasure to work with! She is a force of positive energy and it was so fun having her around on t...
he morning of our wedding. I knew the minute we started our trial that I wanted her to do our makeup for the big day. She is extremely clean, efficient and professional.
I would HIGHLY recommend Kimberly, she will make you feel and look incredible and beautiful.
