Kelly has truly become like family. One of my favorite parts of the entire wedding experience was getting to spend the morning of my wedding with her. She has such a calming, joyful presence--and she not only made me feel so beautiful, but also so comfortable and confident. She even recommended products that I still use daily, a testament to how much she cares about her clients beyond just the wedding day. Kelly and her wonderful assistant, Nikki, took the time to talk with each of my eight bridesmaids, my mom, my mother-in-law, and my grandma to understand their preferences and styles. The result was makeup that felt true to each person while still looking cohesive and elegant. Best of all, everyone's makeup lasted perfectly--through laughter, tears, dancing, and everything in between--from the very first application at 9am until the last song at 12:30am. Kelly is not only a talented artist but also a gem of a person. Her warmth, kindness, and skill made her such an important part of our wedding day. I am so grateful we had her with us read more

Kelly was amazing! So fun, sweet and accommodating, not to mention the wonderful job she did on my makeup, as well as my mom and my bridesmaids. We all felt like a perfectly elevated version of ourselves, and all of my guests commented on how perfect it looked. I would never hesitate to recommend Kelly to anyone for any event! read more

Kelly did an excellent job applying my makeup for a party this weekend! Not only is she great at what does, but she also is very friendly and considerate. I told her that I had sensitive skin and she went out of her way to make sure that I had only hypoallergenic makeup! That meant a lot to me. I would highly recommend anyone to hire Kelly as their makeup artist. I plan to use her again!! read more

My make-up was stunning. Kelly was awesome. Very, very professional, yet, down-to-earth and easy to work with. PLUS, my make-up was flawless. She even shared tips and told me the products she used. She was also very patient. She has this calming presence about her and you can tell she loves what she does. It's clearly her passion. Finally, I should mention that she's prompt --not even prompt. She always early --by like 15 minutes. I didn't have to worry about whether she'd show. I was so lucky to have found her and I would have her do my make-up ANY DAY! read more

Kelly is kind of the perfect go-to gal when you want to shake things up and look damn good rather than just good for the night. During the day she is an expert in all things pretty at Laura Mercier in the Northbrook Neiman Marcus. But, being a gal of many talents, she'll blow your mind when doing you up for special events. Airbrushing, some of the best smokey eyes I've ever seen, dramatic yet gorgeous looks are her forte. She can give you a lasting pretty look to survive a long wedding day but she is also amazing at giving you a bold new look for just a special night out. Kelly's personality makes her so fun and easy to work with when setting up a group for weddings, parties, or even tutorials for younger girls. She's great at listening to what look you want and translating it into beauty but also amazingly skilled at pulling you together on her own when you don't quite know what look you are in the mood for. Kelly is such a refreshing makeup artist who always seems to be learning new techniques and trying to make you look amazing. She's definitely my go-to gal for wedding season and occasionally even just when I need her to help me update my look. read more

Kelly NEVER disappoints when it comes to making me look maaaaaaaahvelous! Always feel like a million bucks after she does my face and that has been many occasions!

Super thrilled to see her again and have her make me gorgeous! read more

I work in a spa and get referrals from Kelly and refer clients to Kelly on a regular basis. I almost daily get comments about how great she is to work with!

You won't regret booking her! read more

There is nobody that makes me look and feel more beautiful than Kelly does when she does my makeup! Not only has she been doing my makeup for years, but recently she airbrushed my makeup for my wedding.

Mt makeup was flawless and stayed looking perfect all night. Kelly is also really great at listening to what her clients want.
