Matthew is truly in a league of his own! He's worked all over Europe and the US and with some of THE biggest names in the makeup industry! He brings a level of expertise and artistry that is literally unparalleled to other artists here in the KC area! Every shade and color is so purposeful and selected with so much personalized thought behind it. He listened to all my wants out of my wedding day look and took the time to explain and show me what colors would look best with my skin tone + my dress with my inspiration photos in mind. He doesn't just enhance your features, he seriously reveals the best version of yourself. When I saw myself in the mirror on my wedding day, I was glowing with a beauty that felt so effortless and entirely my own. I honestly did not know I could look and feel that genuinely beautiful. I felt and looked like a walking magazine cover! You couldn't see a single pore or winkle! TO THIS DAY, I go back to that feeling and look at my photos whenever I need a pick-me-up haha. Matthew is the kind of artist whose work leaves a lasting impression looooong after the makeup has been washed off. Your special moments deserve nothing less! Thank you so so much Matthew!

Matthew made this day. He was earlier than all other vendors to the venue. His attention to detail is spot on. You don’t have to tell him what you want. He just gives you a flawless but natural makeup look. It takes a lot of trust to have someone do your makeup for your wedding. I would choose him over and over again! Don’t miss out on him!!

Matthew has applied my makeup for 3 family weddings. He was so thorough and professional. He asked about the time of the event, what I would be wearing and how my hair was going to be styled. Day of he applied my makeup with the finesse and artistry of a true professional. He gave me a touch up kit, though I only needed it for my lips. The makeup looked perfect from morning until after midnight. I had so many compliments and the photos were amazing.
