Kenzy is the absolute best. I've had my makeup done by her as a bridesmaid twice, so I couldn't imagine booking anyone else for my wedding day. Everything was perfect! She has a hu...
ge talent for making you feel like an elevated and glamorous version of yourself. As someone with body-dysmorphia I was scared of not looking like myself on the big day, but she made me feel so comfortable and beautiful! I've recommended her to everyone in need of a MUA!
Kenzy is absolutely incredible! From the moment I met Kenzy, I was so thankful I chose her to do my makeup for my wedding. She is not only an excellent makeup artist, but she also ...
makes everyone feel so calm and comfortable. She listened to everything I asked for and explained what she was doing, which made me feel even more comfortable. My makeup lasted all day, and I have never felt more confident! She also did two of my sisters, and they both loved Kenzy, too! Kenzy is not only professional, but she is also a hype girl, which is exactly what you need on your wedding day!

p stayed on all night long, and I didn't even need to touch up once. My bridesmaids and I got so many compliments on our skin and makeup, and we all felt so beautiful. It looked so good in all of our pictures and in natural light! The girls and moms in my bridal party all had different skin types, but everyone's makeup was spotless from start to finish. Airbrush is definitely the way to go! Thank you so much for making me feel like the most beautiful bride!

Makenzie is amazing! I will recommend her to every bride I meet. From the trial to the day of, her work was fantastic. I am the kind of person who is always unsure of what I want,...
I had several different ideas of a "soft glam" look for my day of but wasn't sure how it would look on me. We did a trial and it was stunning. They day of, I decided to pull a small audible with my makeup (not because I didn't like the trial but rather I was constantly changing my mind about all things wedding related) and Makenzie came to play. She gave me a look I had no clue I needed and I was OBSESSED! As she would put it, it gave "Audrey Hepburn vibes." She made me feel so beautiful and the look stayed SOLID through the rain, tears, and dancing. Not to mention her and her partner made my bridesmaids and moms look stunning too! So nice, easy to talk to, and fun. 10/10 recommend her.
Mackenzie is the absolute BEST! I worked with Mackenzie for my wedding. She did make up for myself, three bridesmaids and my mom. Every step of working with her was incredibly prof...
essional, organized and well executed. I appreciated Mackenzie's attention to detail and impeccable artistry. I cannot recommend working with Mackenzie enough! It was amazing to have her as part of my wedding!

SS greatest decision ever. No matter what look I take to her she does that look but 1000x better. I recommend MakeupByKenzymarie to anyone and everyone no matter what their event is. She is amazing at all natural looks as well as full glam. I have never had an issue with her services. She is punctual, on time, so so nice, and easy to talk to. You will not regret booking with her!!

such a sweet soul that truly cares about her brides and wants them to feel their best. During my trial she made sure I felt comfortable and confident about how my make up would look on the big day. All of my bridesmaids loved how their make up turned out and everyone truly felt their best! Makenzie is so talented and I would recommend her to everyone! I'm so glad she was apart of my special day and so glad to gain a friend in the process! :)
Kenzie was AMAZING! She did my makeup for a friend's wedding, and my own wedding! Both instances, she made me feel so cared for. Not only does she do an incredible job with makeup ...
and is obviously talented, but she is so intentional and cares for people well. I am so grateful that I had her on my special day!!
Absolutely loved not only my makeup but also my bridesmaids. Kenzy was so kind and patient. She made all my girls feel so confident!
Your wedding day is one of the biggest and most special days of your life and because of that you want it to go perfectly and look your best! I was so nervous about having someone ...
do my makeup, but I couldn’t have picked anyone better. Kenzy is the SWEETEST and goes above and beyond for her customers. She also asks if there is anything you want changed or added which I think is a big deal especially for an artist! She took her time and got to me as a bride. If you are looking for a makeup artist who you know is going to do their best and take their time Kenzy is your girl. Did I mention how sweet she was?! I seriously wish we could be besties🥰 Love her so much! Thank you for your hard work and dedication. You are so talented!
Makenzie has been wonderful to work with. I went to high school with her and wanted to support an old friend in her reaching her dreams. She truly out did herself from the moment w...
e booked with her, our trials and our big day. Kenz brought the energy we needed on our big day, and was a breath of fresh air for a super anxious bride. Her makeup was done beautifully and me and my wife were more than satisfied with the way we looked on our wedding day! Our bridesmaids were all very happy with their looks and everyone looked great. The makeup services, the customer service, the genuineness from Kenzy made our day so special. We couldn’t have picked a better artist to share our day with us. Highly recommend!
I had been following Makenzie for a while, so I knew as soon as I got engaged that she was the one I wanted to do my bridal makeup! She is not just skilled as a makeup artist, but ...
also the sweetest person to talk to! At my trial, she really listened to all my wants and expectations. I was truly blown away by how beautiful I looked and felt, and how beautiful all my bridesmaids looked, on my wedding day. I couldn’t have chosen anyone better for makeup than Makenzie! So thankful for her :)
Mackenzie is truly the best! She made me feel so comfortable and heard when it came to my bridal makeup trial. I shared ideas and what I typically like and dislike with makeup. She...
nailed my bridal look. On wedding day she was truly so fun to be around and made myself and all of all of my bridesmaids glam look amazing. She nailed the natural beauty glam and truly made me feel like myself but with a bit more glam.
I already can’t wait till we do another makeup session again!

I knew Kenzie from a best friend’s wedding and I fell in love with how my friend looked as a bride. It was a no brainer for me to book with her for my wedding. On the day of my tri...
al, she was personable and absolutely amazing. I felt so pampered and she listened to everything I wanted and then some. On my wedding day, I felt like a queen—Kenzie made my special day even better than I could have imagined. My makeup was flawless, and I had recently suffered an injury to my nose that was really noticeable and she was so gentle and covered it perfectly, it made me feel so much better as it happened only a few days before my wedding. I would recommend Kenzie to any bride as she is just that fantastic. If there is anything I ever need my makeup done, I’m going to her every time! She also did a stellar job with all of my bridesmaids as well, and was so helpful with everyone. I was and still am so happy. Every time I look at my wedding photos I am reminded just how perfect she helped make my day.
Couldn’t have picked a better person to make me and my loved ones look and feel amazing!
Kenzy was incredible! So personable and was able to give me the exact look I was going for! So happy we chose her for our big day and I would recommend her to anyone!

of our makeup looks fantastic. I wanted something fairly natural, but polished and Makenzie knocked it out of the park. I could go on and on. If you are looking for a makeup artist for your wedding or even an event I would recommend Makenzie 10 out of 10 times.

have on my wedding day but also felt like myself because of her work. She made sure all my needs were met and that i looked the way I wanted to on my wedding day. I’m a HUGE crier, and I was worried about my makeup smudging. I cried A LOT on my wedding day and my makeup was still flawless at the end of the night. She arrived early to all of my appointments with her and was flexible when my plans changed. I got a major sunburn on my back a few days before my wedding. Makenzie went above and beyond and offered to airbrush my back a little bit to make it look better. I cannot recommend her enough! Please use her for your wedding. You will be so happy you did! 💜
