About this vendor
I am a Freelance Make Up Artist specializing in Bridal Make up. I offer airbrush and traditional application with false lashes and will travel to your wedding venue!
Bridal and wedding make up is my specialty and I love to help my brides feel and look their best on their most special day! My brides will meet me one on one in my Studio to discuss their bridal make up look. I am able to accommodate the entire bridal party as well as the moms/ other family.

From start to finish, Kirsty was professional, responsive, calm, and so wonderful to work with. From the initial interest email to the wedding day, Kirsty made the entire experienc...
e stress-free and joyful. At the makeup trial, she helped me determine what would look best and had so much patience as we looked at a million lip colors. On the morning of the wedding, she was on time and ready to go. Each girl who sat in her chair left it feeling like themselves but a glowing, radiant version. Kirsty's energy was infectious but also calming -- I knew that she was taking good care of me while I was getting ready, and her beautiful work lasted through everything (about 14 hours, including a lot of sweaty outdoor pictures and a lot of dancing). She was AMAZING!

nowing. She is very responsive and flexible although I know she books up quick. She is worth booking ASAP! She did my wedding make-up trial for my engagement photos. I asked if she could do it a bit softer than I wanted for the actual wedding day which was not a problem at all. She did ABSOLUTELY amazing on my wedding day!! I have never felt so fabulous in my entire life! The makeup application was flawless and she picked the perfect lip color. I can't even begin to explain how many compliments I got on the lip color! She made all of my bridesmaids feel so comfortable even though she just met them. I was lucky enough to get to build a relationship with her prior to the wedding due to the trial. I also started purchasing skin care products from her (amazing) and had her do some lash applications for other weddings/events I have attended. Every experience I have with Kirsty is wonderful!
