Kimberlee and her team are absolutely fantastic. Booking my hair and makeup artist was a big source of anxiety for me, particularly as someone who wears relatively little to no makeup on the regular. From our first phone call, Kim helped assuage my fears and concerns. She made the process so easy and seamless! During my hair and makeup trial, I immediately knew I made the right choice. Angela, my hair stylist, and Kim both listened attentively to what I wanted and effortlessly made it a reality.
The day of our wedding, Kim and her team were timely with their arrival. Kim gave me a beautiful, natural make-up look and Angela gave me the most perfect up do I could have asked for. I felt so beautiful! The team listened to the wants of each bridesmaid, and adjusted eye make up / lipstick to help every person achieve their desired look. They also kept us laughing and chatting the entire time they were there, which 100% helped put us all at ease and calm some of the nerves I was feeling. It’s evident that they love what they do, and their passion shines through in the kindness they show to clients as well as the perfection of their work.
The best part? Not only are they incredibly skilled at what they do, but they’re also efficient! Kim and her team were able to do hair and makeup for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and my mom in under 4 hours. Everyone’s hair and makeup held up beautifully for the entirety of the night. Booking to Make Beautiful for my wedding was one of the best decisions I could have made!

Sarah! I cannot believe how quickly you thought of writing us a review. You were an absolute dream to work with. Even with everything else that was going on on the wedding day. I hope it was absolutely amazing and from the bottom of our hearts ...
we greatly appreciate you choosing us for an important role in the big day. All the best in the new married life.
Kimberlee and Wilmary are absolutely amazing! My hair & makeup were perfect, and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. My hair also stayed in place & still looked great after hours of windy pictures & dancing! My mom, mother in law, & bridesmaids also looked incredible and were also so excited about their hair & makeup!
Kimberlee was so kind & easy to communicate with. She made the process so smooth from scheduling my trial to planning out the wedding morning. She & Wilmary made us feel so comfortable and we had the best time getting ready with them!
Working with Kim and her team for my wedding was amazing. From my first trial I knew Kim was perfect for my wedding, she is amazing to work with and even fit me in for another trial 1 month before my wedding when I wanted to go a different route. The day of my wedding Kim and Dana made each of my bridal party extremely comfortable and they were both so fun to have in our suite. I would recommend Kim and her team to everyone and can’t wait to use her again for another event or just for a beauty treatment at her wonderful salon! Thank you Kim for making me feel incredible on my day!
Any questions?
Brides, don’t hesitate on booking with Kim and her team for you and your bridal party. It was worth every penny and I’ve absolutely no regrets. The work was beautiful, clean and literally lasted all night. They are also more important kind people. I never felt more comfortable in my own skin on a day where I was more nervous then I’ve ever been. I can’t wait to revisit the salon as client for a facial now! Thank you so much Kim and Wilmary!!
Just 2 weeks before my wedding, I was in a time crunch to find someone who I can trust to do my wedding makeup. Kim was flexible and so kind squeezing me in her schedule. During the appointment, she was personable and professional. She is SO talented at what she does and I cannot recommend her enough if you are looking for someone to glam you for your special day. Thank you Kim!
I was looking for on site hair and makeup for my August wedding and I'm so glad I found To Make Beautiful. Kim, the owner, is very responsive and so nice. My hairstylist and MUA, Wilmary and Jordan, made sure everyone had their hair and makeup done with plenty of time for touch ups and we all looked SO good. You won't regret going with TMB ❤️

They were amazing and efficient. Bill
Kimberlee and team had us looking and feeling so beautiful on my Wedding Day!
I fell in love with my bridal look during my trial and immediately connected with Kimberlee. She was communicative and so helpful in planning for the big day. On the morning of, Kimberlee arrived with Wilmary (hair stylist) and Dimple (second makeup artist) and they got to work while creating such a fun, relaxing vibe for me, my bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law while getting ready! They took their time and really listened to what we wanted for our looks while also being so efficient that we wrapped up ahead of schedule even with touch ups!
Highly recommend To Make Beautiful for your Wedding Day, Prom, Special Occasion or a beauty service!

Kimberlee, in particular, stood out not just as a makeup artist but as a skincare expert and a true professional.

Her attention to detail in creating a personalized skincare routine ensured that my skin was at its best for the big day.
On the wedding day, Kimberlee made the entire room comfortable, calm, and enjoyable, transforming what could have been a stressful time into a pampering experience. Her professionalism and dedication were evident in every brushstroke and hair styling.

THANK YOU Cynthia.. I miss you already!
I had the best experience with To Make Beautiful on my wedding day. They were organized, easy to work with and helped keep the atmosphere fun while they worked. My bridesmaids and I looked absolutely stunning. My hair was done by Ashley and came out amazing. They helped make my wedding day perfect!
Response from the Vendor on 06/17/2024
Love you Krysta! I hope the new married life is amazing.
Kim and the ladies at To Make Beautiful were so wonderful to work with for my wedding! Between bridesmaids, mothers, sister-in-laws and myself, there were 15 ladies needing hair and make up -- Kim and her team started early in the morning with us and made everyone feel so beautiful and confident. I believe they even finished earlier than expected!
From our very first encounter, Kim was hugely accommodating, kind, and enthusiastic - which I especially appreciated in the midst of wedding planning! I cannot recommend To Make Beautiful enough for your wedding or special event!

Thank you so very much Victoria. It means so much to us that you chose us for your most important day. I can't wait to see your photos.
All the best in the new married life Kim
I loved my experience with To Make Beautiful for my wedding day! Kim and Dana are extremely talented - the day of the wedding, my hair and makeup came out perfect. I had to go back for 2 hair/makeup trials in order to get the look exactly right, and they were patient and listened closely to my vision and recommendations.
To Make Beautiful did a great job communicating leading up to the big day. They helped form an itinerary for the morning of, in order to get all 10 girls (7 bridesmaids, 2 mother's and 1 bride) ready in time for photos.
The artists were fun and supportive while getting ready. The vibe was comfortable, with music blasting and conversation flowing naturally. Most importantly, the bridal party looked beautiful.
I highly recommend To Make Beautiful.
Kim and her team were absolutely fabulous! They were very organized and easy to work with. Everyone’s hair and makeup turned out stunning for the wedding day!
- The bride
Kimberlee and Ashley were amazing leading up to the wedding and the day of! I had a hair and makeup bridal trial with them before the wedding. I had some idea of what I wanted everything to look like, but the results were above and beyond what I imagined.
Fast forward to the wedding day, they arrived on-time and made everyone so beautiful!! They were also a great addition to the bridal suite 🙂 I highly recommend To Make Beautiful for hair and makeup. Thank you so much!!

Kim
Kim is incredible! Not only is she an extraordinarily talented makeup artist, but she was also SO easy to work with... incredibly organized, professional, and responsive (she literally answered every single email or question I had within minutes!). Kim also is so, so kind and calm. Exactly the type of person you want to hang out with on the morning of your wedding!

Awwwww! Meg I can't thank you enough! Thank you so much It means the world to me that you chose us to be such an important part of your big day. All the best in the new married life.. 🤗 Kim
To Make Beautiful did such a beautiful job on our wedding day!! Dana, Jessica, and Ashley were all fantastic. All my ladies and I were so thrilled with our looks. I had a diverse bunch of bridesmaids and some were worried about skin tone makeup match and truly everyone was so pleased and looked gorgeous. Thank you To Make Beautiful!
Kim, Jessica and other team members from To Make Beautiful made our wedding dreams come true. They were super nice and very flexible, as we kept adding people to the wedding party for hair and makeup. The trial (which I recommend) went well, and the day of the wedding, my hair and makeup was absolutely stunning. It survived the 85 degree heat for 12 hours!! I have oily skin too and so I didn't think it would make it. I had it done in the morning, and by 11:30 at night it was still flawless. Everyone told me I looked like a supermodel on my wedding day. The team including Jessica came to our hotel and were very accommodating. They made all my bridesmaids look amazing! I most highly recommend them. Now I have beautiful pictures from that day and I owe it all to them!
I hired Kim & her team at To Make Beautiful for my wedding yesterday, October 7th, 2022 & I can’t say enough kind words about my experience! Kim personally did my make up, it was natural, flawless & just all around perfect! She was very professional, upbeat & made sure my big bridal party was happy with their services at all times. Kim went above & beyond to make my special day so perfect! If you’re looking for beauty services for your wedding or event, I would HIGHLY recommend Kim & her amazing team! 5 star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I had an AMAZING experience with the to make beautiful team. Kim was so easy to communicate with, ask questions, book a trial, and schedule all of my wedding day needs. Her team (Jessica, Wilmary, Ashley, and Jordan) were fantastic on the wedding day. They made the day zero stress and all of the bridal party (including me) felt so relaxed and calm. They are such professionals at what they do. The hair and make up results were also perfect -- everyone looked stunning for the entire evening. Furthermore, my sister in law had been hesitant to get her hair and make up done so I put zero pressure on her to have her try it, but left the option open. On the day of, she jumped right in to get both hair and make up done because she could see the artists were so kind and not overbearing. She told me she felt & looked stunning all day, she couldn't stop smiling. I'm so glad she felt included, and that is all thanks to this team!
Kim and Angela made all of the special ladies in our wedding party feel extra beautiful for our wedding. I saw them glow and become more confident once she and Angela had completed everyone's hair and makeup. Kim and Angela took each of their personal styles into account when getting them ready, and we really appreciated that. They were friendly and outgoing, even at 6 a.m. I can't say enough good things about them.
Jess and Dana were great and we're so passionate in their art! They truly listened to what we wanted and made
us all feel so beautiful.
Would definately recommend To Make Beautiful!
Deb
Cannot recommend To Make Beautiful enough! Dana (hair) and Jordan (makeup) did an amazing job on my Wedding day. They were such a pleasure to work with.
I had the absolute best experience with Kim and everyone else at To Make Beautiful! Dana, Jess, Jordan, and Angela were all incredible to work with on my wedding day. They fit right in with my bridal party and we had so much fun getting ready all morning. Everyone loved their final looks. I would highly recommend them for any bride!
Kim did an amazing job with my makeup for my wedding day 6.4.22. I received so many compliments! She will make sure to meet your vision and expectations for your special day. I truly can't say enough about my experience with Kim
Thank you for everything xo
I had an amazing experience working with To make beautiful for the hair and makeup for my wedding. Both Jordan (make up artist) and Ashley (hairstylist) were amazing to work with. Both listened to each of us when we shared our visions and created exactly what we were looking for and then some! I have gotten numerous compliments from others about how beautiful we all looked. They were flexible, kind, talented, and truly added so much to an already exciting day.
Also, their flexibility and willingness to wear a mask given family medical concerns was so very appreciated.
I would highly recommend booking with to make beautiful!
To Make Beautiful did an amazing job with the makeup for my wedding!! I had previously gotten my makeup done by Jessica as a bridesmaid in my friend’s wedding; since I was so impressed with her work, I knew that I had to book To Make Beautiful for my wedding as well! Kim and Jessica were a pleasure to work with throughout the entire wedding planning process. They were quick to respond to any questions or concerns and they were always so kind and accommodating. Even with lots of tears, our makeup lasted all day long! I would definitely recommend To Make Beautiful for anyone’s wedding!
Kimberlee was so easy going and did an amazing job for my wedding. She took her time and was very professional. I would recommend her services to anyone.
Honestly, where do I even begin. Look no further!!! Kim and her team GOTCHU!!! on your wedding day!!!
Choosing a makeup artist was the hardest vendor to pick. I never wear make up, more than just eyeliner on occasion. I did not want my face to look like it wasn't me, or that there was a bunch of caked on makeup on my face either. I wanted a natural look with a little "umph" and boy did Kim NAIL IT! I went to see Kim for a trial with my MOH, and I'm so glad I went to the trial and I had somebody with me. I knew my MOH would give me her honest opinion as well, since she's more into make-up than I am. I'm so glad I did the trial because I really did like the make up Kim did, but after a few hours went by, I knew I wanted something a little lighter. I also went to Kim a few weeks before our wedding to get a lash lift and tint. I had no idea what it was but I was willing to trust Kim and let her do her magic.
Fast forward to our wedding day and Kim made it happen!! Her talent is beyond extraordinary. She really listened to me and focused her time and energy on all the girls to give them exactly what they wanted. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful!!
Kim's responsiveness overall was impeccable. She replied within 1-2 hours for most of my emails, but without a doubt, she replied within 24-48 hours. She was so professional, beyond flexible and totally understanding! Even after our wedding, I'm still going back to her salon to get my lash lift and tint done! Plus, she offers 15% off her services to her bridal clients!
Ladies, choose To Make Beautiful!!! You will not regret it!!
I was very nervous to get my makeup done because in the past as I never had the best experience. When I met with Kim for my trial, she really understood what I wanted. She is so friendly, professional and the makeup looked AMAZING. I just felt so pretty and confident. When it came time for my Wedding, WOW. It is really all I can say. Kim was punctual and she made me feel very calm and excited for the big day! She brought Jordan and they both did such a phenomenal job on my Wedding party. Everyone looked so gorgeous and it was great to see my makeup lasted through the night! I cannot recommend To Make Beautiful enough!!

THE BEST was your grandmother's video! THANK YOU BRIANNA! Loved working together!
I got married in September of 2021 and Kim and Wilmary were two of the best parts of my wedding! Kim was super professional. She always answered all of my email questions immediately and offered up times to chat through any follow ups I might have. She was very transparent with pricing and friendly, which made it very comfortable to book with her. On the actual day of the wedding, Kim was so professional, nice, and friendly that it felt like having an amazingly talented friend there to do makeup. I've had my makeup done at a few weddings and this is the first wedding that my bridesmaids and myself have loved our own makeup. Kim really knows how to find the right makeup for each person!
As for hair, Wilmary was great! I have very thin hair and she made it look amazing and thick. All of my bridesmaids have very different hair types and hair preferences and she made it all work easily and look effortless. Wilmary even finished all of our hair early and then applied touch ups to anyone that wanted them. I would highly recommend hiring ToMakeBeautiful - they were one of the least stressful/best parts of my wedding!
Response from the Vendor on 12/07/2021
You could not have been more sweet! So honored to have been a part of your special day!
I am so glad we chose To Make Beautiful for my hair and makeup artist! They are fantastic. I have had my hair and makeup done as a bridesmaid and was not always happy with the final product so was nervous. They made me look like a literal queen!!! Could not have felt more beautiful. My bridesmaids and mother were also very happy with their hair and makeup. Could not recommend To Make Beautiful more highly! 10/10.
Response from the Vendor on 12/07/2021
YOU are a queen! LOVED being a part of it!!!! Thank you
Kim is the best. She made me feel like a million bucks on my wedding day. Easy to work with and deciphered what I wanted to look like without me really knowing. On top of that, my mom said it was the most beautiful she’s felt in years. Highly recommend!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/07/2021
YOU were hysterical.. .THANK YOU for choosing me!
I could not have been any happier with To Make Beautiful. From initially reaching out, to the hair/makeup trial, to my wedding day, everything was seamless. The team arrived at the venue on time and were able to complete hair/makeup for a big group of women with time to spare. The ladies were so friendly and made getting ready even more fun. Everyone looked flawless- they were all beyond happy with how their hair and makeup turned out. I expressed concern about my dark circles, and Kim knew exactly what to do! I have never felt prettier. My make-up lasted all day and looked PERFECT in pictures. Kim truly has a way of making you feel comfortable and confident. I showed Angela a picture of an updo and she NAILED it. I received so many compliments and it stayed in place all night. I would highly recommend these ladies.

Caitlyn! YOU were a bombshell!! I can't wait to see some photos... thank you for choosing us,, it was so much fun!!
I had such a great experience with To make beautiful! I was supposed to get married 9/2020, and then rescheduled twice more. Kim was so helpful and kind throughout the whole process. I had Jessica do my bridal makeup and she did an outstanding job. I received endless compliments throughout the entire night about how great my makeup looked… I never felt more beautiful! Jessica and Angela did makeup for a total of 11 people that needed to be ready by 1. They were timely and efficient. Everyone’s makeup was beautiful. My bridal party was so happy. They were both so nice and fun to talk to!

Kim truly made every girl feel absolutely beautiful! She was absolutely wonderful, personable, professional, and talented. She was on time and made sure to take her time on each girl!! Everyone loved Kim, and I’d recommend her in a heartbeat!!!
Kim and Angela are awesome!!! They made my bridal party look stunning and flawless on my wedding day. They are so friendly and listen to what you want. Kim does everything to make sure her bride is happy! She is very timely and a pleasure to work with. When one of my bridesmaid’s was having wardrobe issues 1 hour before the ceremony she stepped in to help save the day!! I literally can’t thank her enough!! I absolutely 100% recommend ToMakeBeautiful!!
Response from the Vendor on 07/19/2021
I was so excited to be a part of your amazing day!! CONGRATS again and thank you!!
Kim is absolutely amazing at what she does! I’m not one to wear a lot of makeup and when I told Kim, she said no problem. I asked for a more natural look for my wedding and she nailed it! It did not feel heavy or caked on. I felt comfortable and loved the final look. She also did the makeup for my girls and everyone looked beautiful. Kim really listens and does what you ask. She is also very personable and kind. I would absolutely recommend To Make Beautiful to any one for any special occasion! Thank you for making me look beautiful on my special day!
Response from the Vendor on 07/19/2021
THANK YOU!!! It was my pleasure! :)
I had to change my wedding last minute and Kim came as a referral from a friend and I am SO happy she did! Kim was always very quick at responding and always extremely professional. Jessica did the makeup for my wedding and she was amazing! During the trial she did a really great job of making me feel comfortable to speak up if there was something I did not like. She was extremely receptive to the few things I wanted , and I can't imagine my makeup being any more perfect then it was. We really enjoyed having Jessica there for the day of, she is extremely personable, and we all had a great time with her! I cannot recommend her enough for all your makeup needs! - Bethany

AWWW! Bethany! Thank you SO very much for choosing us! We can't wait to see photos! Wishing you all the best, Kim & Jessica
Kim and her team were absolutely amazing. They all were professional and made us all look and feel beautiful the day of my wedding. Kim was also so so so wonderful when it came to working with me on rescheduling three separate times as my wedding kept getting pushed back due to covid. I couldn’t recommend Kim and To Make Beautiful enough!
Response from the Vendor on 06/16/2021
Emily, Three times a charm! I've seen some of your beautiful photos on Insta, Would LOVE to see some if you can send. All the best in the new married life~ Cheers, Kim
Kim and her team are amazing. They are the perfect balance between listening to exactly what you want for your hair and makeup and inputting their professional expertise. A lot of the photos I saw online looked more "glam" so I was a little nervous going in before my trial since I wanted a bit more of a simple/boho look for both hair and makeup and they executed FLAWLESSLY for my trial and my micro-wedding day. Can't wait to work with them again for my big wedding day!
Response from the Vendor on 06/16/2021
YOU are flawless! Can't wait to see you for the Big wedding day!
Highly recommend Kim and Angela!! They made getting ready so fun and stress free! Myself and my wedding party looked truly amazing! So happy I chose To Make beautiful for my wedding day!
Response from the Vendor on 06/16/2021
THANK YOU! And congrats on the married life!
Working with Kim was such a delight!! I was so lucky to have found her! While it has taken me a little while to write reviews from my minimony this past August (2020), I definitely wanted to call out the amazing services of Kim at To Make Beautiful!
With the craziness of this year, my husband and I decided to wait until the last second to pivot from our planned ceremony and reception to a smaller ceremony, with a larger reception (hopefully) next year! We made the decision July 1st to keep our August 2020 date, leaving me just over a month to coordinate a bunch of changes. I had already chosen a makeup team closer to my venue in Scituate, MA but now that we were saving the venue until next year, I wanted to find someone who was local to our new minimony location in Gloucester, MA. I found To Make Beautiful on the list of recommended vendors from Cruiseport Gloucester. Kim was fantastic in helping me figure out timing of services and was able to give me the look I wanted without having a makeup trial (my choice). During the getting ready process, she added to the day’s excitement and was a joy to work with. She was very professional, arrived on time and was able to accommodate 4 people when I had only scheduled for 3. I can’t recommend her enough!

Margaret! I can't believe I didn't see this! Thank you so very much.. I loved being a part of your day, and those amazing eyes still stand out in my head.. ( I BOUGHT THE SLIPPERS!) Please tell your grandmother hello for me! Best in the new mar...

Kimberlee & Jessica were awesome!! Myself, our moms, & bridesmaids looked gorgeous. They made us feel so comfortable and kept us laughing. Highly recommend!

Brianna! I'm sorry I missed this.. THANK YOU so very much, you were stunning! Thank you for having us! All the best,, Kim & Jessica
To Make Beautiful was a preferred vendor through my wedding venue, and I could not be happier that I chose them to do my wedding day hair and makeup! I can’t say enough how great an experience I had with them from start to finish.
When I had my makeup trial back in early March of 2020, Kim was so personable and fun, and she did my makeup even better than how I envisioned it. When COVID-19 shut everything down days later, I got a little worried that my November 2020 wedding might not happen.
Over the next several months, my now husband and I decided to push our date up to take advantage of summer weather, and decided to have an outdoor micro wedding in August of 2020 instead. When I told Kim about the change in plans and asked if she was available on our new date, she was incredibly flexible and excited to work with me and my wedding party.
Kim has been so easy to communicate with and super reliable. She answered emails almost immediately and made the process so easy. She and hair stylist, Angela, arrived right on time the day of the wedding, wore masks the whole time, sanitized all of their equipment thoroughly, and got me and the three other ladies in my wedding party looking and feeling gorgeous, all while keeping things moving right on schedule and having fun while doing it. Everyone’s hair and makeup looked perfect and lasted the whole day, even after a windy dinner on an outdoor deck!
I would highly recommend Kim and Angela from To Make Beautiful to anyone. Their best qualities were how responsive, flexible, talented, and professional they were, which is especially impressive to pull off in the face of a global pandemic. And on top of that, they were super fun and easy to work with the day of. I’ll always think of how easy they made getting ready, and how beautiful and confident they made me feel the day of my wedding. Can’t wait to go back and use them for future events!
Response from the Vendor on 09/22/2020
Amy!! Omg thank you for this.. Thank you more for taking us along on your new date as well. We so appreciate all of our brides, but especially during this stressful pandemic.
I'm so looking forward to seeing you again, and please send some ...
pictures. All the best in the new married life, Kim and Angela
From the bottom of my heart, I cannot recommend Kim and Angela of To Make Beautiful more! When I got to my church after my makeup and hair appointment to change into my wedding dress, I looked in the mirror in the church bathroom and said to myself for the first time ever, "I look beautiful, like a princess"! I could not wait to walk down the aisle feeling that way and for my now husband to see me. He later told me during our reception that I looked like I belonged on the cover of a bridal magazine, and we have gotten so many comments on our wedding photos about how stunning the bride looked! I am still in awe that the bride they are talking about is me! What matters even more than the incredible talent Kim and Angela have for doing hair and makeup is how deeply kind they both are and how much they want to contribute to making your wedding day the best day of your life. They genuinely care about who you are as a person. They want to know all about the person you are marrying, how your love story unfolded, and also what you do for work, where you live, and everything that makes you who you are. The amazing part is they will remember all of these details years later when you reconnect with them, despite the number of brides they work with year to year. I am beyond touched by the great care they gave to me as a bride and as a person, and having them as part of my wedding day is something I will carry with me for the rest of my life! I will have Kim and Angela do my hair and makeup again in a heartbeat for any other life events I am blessed to walk through. Thank you both so much, more than words could ever say, for making me look and feel so beautiful on the best day of my life I have had so far!

Kerri!!! We LOVE YOU! It's so great to get your emails. I hope you and Kenny are doing amazing. He told me in person , SHE IS AN ANGEL! awww. All the best!
I absolutely loved working with Kim. She created amazing smokey eye make up for my ceremony this year. I am looking forward for my make up next year, because Kim makes me feel the most beautiful!

I can't wait to see you again!!! It will be so much more relaxed, fun and wild! Love doesn't wait, and I'm so happy you didn't wait. You are gorgeous! Enjoy the married life and see you for your big celebration! THANK YOU xo
Kim and her team of stylists made myself and the ladies I love feel like queens on my wedding day! I cannot thank them enough! I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life as I did that day and the rest of my party said the same. Not only did you guys get all of us done in good time but our hair and makeup was on point!!! We could walk with confidence and our outward beauty showing our inward beauty! And above all else you all were warm, welcoming and fun! The talent within you and those you have added to your team is outstanding! I wish I had a more exciting life and could have you do my makeup all the time! If you have an event coming up, and want to walk in and make a statement, like I did at my Wedding, you need to hire these ladies!! Thank you! I am forever grateful!!

YOU are a queen! You and the women you surround yourself with are blessings. THANK YOU for choosing us and for taking us on the new wedding date. I hope that I get to see you grow in your new married life.. Keep being amazing, xox Kim, Jessic...
a, Angela and Christina!
Kim and Ashley were simply amazing! Have you ever been to a wedding and you don't recognize the bride? Well I have and I didn't want to be anyone but me. Ashley arrived first and started right away on my hair assuring me that she had my uncontrollable hair under control. Kim arrived and immediately started my makeup. I explained that I wanted a glammed up natural look and that is exactly what I got! Kim and Ashley were professional, but warm and friendly, and easy to talk to. I am still receiving compliments from my wedding guests.

Robin! THANK YOU so much for trusting us without a trial. We were so honored to be a part of your amazing event. You were stunning even before hair and makeup.. I hope to get to work with you again! Best in your new married life!
Kim and Angela were amazing for our wedding! They both made me feel so comfortable at the trial I had before the wedding. It was so organized to fill out a form ahead of time explaining hair length and possible hair styles for each of the girls so that they would have an idea beforehand what to expect on the day of the wedding. They both arrived just on time and finished just on time, even with some changes adding a couple of people for them to work with last minute. They were so fun to be with that day, especially since I was a little nervous about everything going "right." We did not feel ruahed or stressed that we were behind schedule that day. They did such an amazing job with how they did the hair and makeup for everyone. I did not even feel the fake eyelashes and even forgot I was wearing them. Some of the bridesmaids had mentioned that the eyelashes felt much better on when Kim did it that day compared to having them put on by other makeup artists when they were bridesmaids for other weddings in the past. The makeup looks so natural and did not feel heavy on. My hair and makeup lasted pretty much through the night and our wedding was in August. My mom, sister, and bridesmaids loved loved loved Angela and Kim so much. I will definitely go with them in the future when I need to get my hair and makeup done again!

you are amazing!!!
To Make Beautiful is a gem. Do yourself a favor and book them for your wedding. You will look like the best version of yourself and truly feel gorgeous on your wedding day. Kim (the owner) did my makeup for my engagement shoot and Jen (her colleague) did my makeup and my mom's makeup on wedding day. Both women are super talented and just the nicest people. My makeup stayed fresh both days (despite 92 degree heat for my engagement shoot). They understood my skin tone and made my eyes pop in ways no makeup artists have done before. I hate when you can see foundation on your face; Jen made my skin glow on wedding day. It didn't look like I was wearing loads of makeup and yet all her application choices, especially the shadow and eyelashes, did wonders for me. The whole look was beautiful both in person and in pictures. I felt like me, but a radiant version of me. On top of that, Jen was patient, fun and sweet to have in the bridal suite. My hairdresser went over her allotted time and Jen was super chill about it. Even during my trial, she spent (lots of) extra time with me, getting my shadow color just right. I plan to use To Make Beautiful any time I want to get my makeup done for an event. They're true professionals and wonderful people, who are invested in making you feel beautiful and happy on your special day.

Rachel!! THANK YOU!! Jen and I so loved having you as a bride and so thank you for choosing us! Wishing you the best in the new married life!!
Kim & Jessica went above and beyond to make my wedding day and events leading up to it absolutely perfect. I used To Make Beautiful for multiple services: engagement shoot makeup, bridal trial, lash lift & tint, and bridal makeup. Not only did they do the most amazing job but they really tailored each service to my needs and made me feel incredibly beautiful. I was nervous about looking over done but my makeup was perfect, natural but still a little glam. Not only was my makeup flawless but Kim and Jessica were the most amazing and flexible people to work with. I highly recommend To Make Beautiful and can’t wait to head back there end of the month for a facial!

I cannot even describe how beautiful I felt on my wedding day due to Kim ! She was not only professional but so comforting as I was not feeling 100% after recovering from the flu on my wedding day. I really wanted a dramatic and romantic look while still looking like myself. She completely nailed it ! My mom, who wanted a more natural look and has some issues with eye makeup due to allergies, also came out stunning ! On a scale of 1-10 I have to give Kim a 100!
Response from the Vendor on 11/25/2019
Katie! I am so happy to hear that you were pleased. We absolutely loved being a part of your day! Enjoy being a wife! Congrats and thank you
Kimberlee was absolutely amazing to work with. She was willing to travel to our venue to do all 10 of our make-up. She knew exactly how to make each of my bridesmaids makeup pop. I would recommend her to any of my friends who are getting married. Thank you for such an amazing and stress free day!
Kim did such an amazing job with my makeup for my wedding in June 2019. She made me so natural. I'm so Happy and Thankful that I chose To Make Beautiful/Kim. Thank you so very much for make me beautiful and my pictures definitely show. I would highly recommend her.

YOU are so welcome! and thank you for choosing us!!
I had the best experience with Kim, who did my makeup for my wedding in April. Not only is she extremely talented and professional, but Kim is very kind and easy to talk to. I was extremely lucky to find her just a few weeks before my big day.
When I visited Kim for my trial, we tried a few different looks. I wasn't really sure how I saw myself as a bride. Kim worked with me to find a look that really felt like me but more glamorous. She wanted me to be happy with the result and was more than willing to try different things to get me there.
A week before my wedding day, my brother (who was my man of honor) got a black eye at my husband's bachelor party. I panicked. When I told Kim what happened, she didn't bat (a voluminous) eyelash. Not only did she put me at ease but she was able to cover up the bruise perfectly. I could not be more impressed.
I would -- and have -- recommended Kim to my best friend. Thank you Kim for everything you did to help make my wedding day wonderful!
Response from the Vendor on 11/25/2019
THANK YOU Bridget! You were still prettier than your brother! hahaa.. Thank you so much and see you soon, Thank you for the photos and continuing to support my business!
My mom and I loved getting our makeup done by Jaqui! Neither of us has ever gotten our makeup done professionally nor do we wear makeup on a regular basis. Jacqui did such a great job getting an idea of what we were comfortable with and suggesting colours and styles that would suit our skin tone, eye colour etc. We were so happy with the end result that it made us want to get our makeup done together on a more regular basis!
Response from the Vendor on 11/25/2019
Mika!! Thank you so much!! Jaqui and I so appreciate this review. When you have a chance please send some photos. And thank you again for choosing us!!! All the best in the new married life!
So much fun. They do such a great job with hair and makeup. Everyone's hair looked stunning and everyone that got their makeup done looked gorgeous.
Response from the Vendor on 11/25/2019
YAAA, We love fun! Thank you so much and all the best in the new married life!
This review is long overdue - I had my hair and makeup trial with Kim and Angela on 4/29/19. They were nothing short of amazing. My wedding is 9/21/19 and they couldn't have been more professional, kind, and accommodating with dates and times as I am also currently living out-of-state. I was on the fence about doing a trial (trying to save money) but I would highly suggest it to anyone now! Not only did Kim and Angela knock it out of the park by nailing the exact wedding-day look I was going for, but they completely put me at ease and my anxiety is 0% now for the big day! They were also so kind to my sister and mom who I brought with me and will also be getting hair and makeup done for the wedding. Kim and Angela, thank you so much for putting me at ease. I can't wait to work with you again soon and for my wedding and beyond in the future!!!! xoxo
Response from the Vendor on 08/26/2019
AWW THIS IS SO AMAZING! we are so looking forward to 9/21/19! YAAA... xoxoox Thank you
I chose To Make a beautiful because I remember thinking during my trial “I would love to hang out with these ladies all day!” It was so important to me to hire a group that could help us all feel comfortable and have fun that morning on a day when you could feel major stress! We had over 10 people getting hair and make up and everyone looked amazing!!
Response from the Vendor on 08/26/2019
hahaah We'd love to hang out with you as well! THANK YOU SOOOOO much. ( Sorry, notifications about reviews haven't been coming through :( ) Come on in and take advantage of your bridal discount soon! xoxo
We used Kim and the TMB team for both hair and make-up for my wedding in early June and I'm SO glad that we did! Kim is the sweetest person and is so talented at what she does! I had her do my make-up for my engagement photo shoot last year and I knew I needed her for my wedding day. I emphasized that I wanted to look natural and not too "done-up" and she delivered! I had Angela for my hair and she was also amazing! She understood my vision for a loose up-do with soft curls and I loved how it came out! My bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law also all looked amazing and were very happy with their hair and make-up. Even as a nervous bride on the morning of my wedding, the TMB team made me feel so comfortable, relaxed, and excited for the big day. I'm so happy I chose them!

I can't thank Kim and Nichole enough for making me and my girls feel so beautiful on my wedding day!! From the very beginning, communication was great and they understood the look I was going for on my big day. They also made me feel at ease on the wedding day and kept everything as close to schedule as possible so I can't thank them enough for all of their great work and would highly recommend them to all future brides that want to look and feel beautiful on their wedding day! xo
Response from the Vendor on 08/26/2019
Jennifer! THANK YOU SO! We loved being a part of your day. We'd LOVE some photos when you have a chance. CONGRATULATIONS! Best, Kim & Nichole
To Make Beautiful was a preferred vendor from my venue (Willowdale Estate) and I am so happy I went with them. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Kim for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! Kim did an amazing job! As someone who wears little to no makeup I was so happy with how enhanced yet natural I looked. Kim also did my mother’s makeup as well, my mom looked stunning! Kim has a wonderful personality- fun & calming at the same time, I highly recommend Kim and To Make Beautiful!!

I had an amazing experience working with Kim, Angela, and the To Make Beautiful team! Kim and Angela did my bridal hair and makeup both for a trial and for my wedding day . I feel like they really listened to what my vision was for what I wanted to look like on my wedding day and were so collaborative. They brought such a nice energy into the getting ready process and I felt like I could just relax knowing I was in good hands. I absolutely LOVED my wedding day look. As someone that doesn't wear a lot of makeup, I was so happy with how enhanced yet natural I looked! My hair and makeup lasted all day and all night (almost 12 hours total.) My bridesmaids also had their hair and makeup done by the To Make Beautiful team. They all loved how their looks turned out too! For a super consistent, reliable, and professional wedding day look, I would go with To Make Beautiful!

ount on service and products! xox Kim and the team!
Kim did my make up for my wedding and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to get beautified for their special day!! Kim did such a great job not only on me but also my bridesmaids,mother and mother in law. She takes the time to listen to what you are looking for and makes it happen. I am a big make up fanatic and very picky how my make up gets done. If there was anyone I could trust I knew it was Kim because she also did my make up for my best friends wedding and it came out awesome. Thank you to Kim for making my make up look amazing and being so fun to work with!!

Brittany! I'm so sorry I haven't seen this review until today. THANK YOU! and thank you for choosing us. YOU ARE STUNNING and I thank you for the referrals as well.. BIG HUGS and hope to see you soon! xoxoxo
Kim did my make up for my wedding day and she did an amazing job!! I don’t like super heavy make up and she understood exactly what I wanted and did my make up even more perfect than I could have imagined. Kim is so talented and versatile - one of my bridesmaids loves heavier make up and hers came out perfect too! Kim understands make up isn’t one size fits all and will truly work to give you exactly what you want for your special day. Not only did everyone love their makeup Kim and her second artist finished well ahead of schedule! I could not be happier with To Make Beautiful!!!
Response from the Vendor on 12/27/2018
AWW!!! I loveeee this! Listening is the key and we are SOOo happy we were able to accommodate everyone's desire for the big day! All the best in your new married life!
I used this makeup company last minute after attending a different wedding where several bridesmaids were pleased. I am so happy with the services we all received, and how fun but also professional the team was. Jessica and Jasmine did a phenomenal job on everybody’s makeup. I don’t typically wear anything but that day felt and looked like a movie star, and it lasted all night. I would absolutely book this company, or those girls again! Thank you!
Response from the Vendor on 12/27/2018
SO HAPPY!! Jessica and Jasmine do a great job and thank you for taking the risk so last minute! Wishing you all the best and thank you!!!
Kim is awesome to work with! She put up with my indecisiveness and anyone that can do that has a heart of gold! She really helped me decide on what I truly wanted and was so patient with me. I also had about 16 girls getting hair and makeup done on the day of the wedding and Kim and her team (Dana and Debra) were all so fun and made me feel so calm. All of girls loved their makeup. Most importantly, we were on time and everyone looked beautiful! I loved my makeup, it was so soft and elegant which is exactly what I wanted. Kim made it happen! . If you choose to go with Kim and her team, you won’t regret it.
Response from the Vendor on 12/27/2018
AWW JAIMEE!!! this is soooo freaking sweet! :) Thank you so, so much. I wish you alll the best in your new married life. xoxoxox
One word comes to mind when I look back at my wedding day makeup; WOW. Kim is the ultimate makeup professional--not only talented, attentive and caring, but also a skin guru! With her esthetics background and undeniable makeup skills, Kim will make you look flawless and feel beautiful! She is also super accommodating and punctual. If you have a schedule to adhere to, better believe Kim will have you and your bridesmaids ready! I will continue to see Kim for all my makeup and skin care needs. She truly loves to make others feel fabulous!
I am not even sure where to begin but I am so thankful for Kim and Kasey, not only taking me last minute after a horrible makeup trial from another company. But all the way from my trial to my wedding day they made me feel so special; checking on me, seeing if I needed anything, if I wanted to change something. They really went above and beyond to make me feel like I was family. My bridesmaids and mothers were very happy with the hair and makeup. Not one person was unhappy which was perfect because it made the day go very smoothly. I would recommend them a million times and I know how hard it was to find hair and makeup that I would be happy with. Thank you both again for an amazing day! -

I first wanted to say THANK YOU to Kim for making me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. She did such an amazing job and I can’t thank her and recommend her enough!! Kim has a very calming personality that makes any nerves on the day of your wedding go away!! From my mother, to my sister and all of my bridesmaids, their make-up all looked beautiful and so natural!
During our trial Kim made sure that I looked how I wanted to look, and if something was not right, would adjust to my liking! I can not recommend her enough. She was recommended to me by my sister in law and I am more than happy that she was there to do my wedding as well!
To Make Beautiful did such an amazing job for my wedding! From the first time I met Kim at the trial I knew she was a perfect match for me. Her personality says it all! She is calming but fun all in one package - something a nervous bride needs especially on the day of her wedding to make sure everyone is having a good time. Her team came onsite, set up quickly, and kept everything moving so that we were all ready on time. My makeup came out so perfect and lasted all night (even through those pesky happy tears!), she really knows how to make those eyes POP! She was also willing to work with my videographer and photographer to get those essential getting ready shots. I would highly recommend Kim and her team to any bride looking for Hair and Makeup!
The owner Kim had done myself, as well as my 2 sisters for my wedding two weeks ago and we all were extremely happy! She is wonderful, & has a fun personality as a plus! Our makeup looked amazing, and we got compliments from everyone, as well as my co-workers & clients when they had seen my pictures afterwards. She also helped me out with my skincare as well on a personal level, which I especially appreciated. I would highly recommend her to anyone!
