Kerri is amazing! Highly recommend! Not only is she super professional in knowing exactly what she's doing but she couldn't be any more friendly! She made my friend and I feel so comfortable in telling her what we wanted and she wanted to make sure she achieved that look. Will definitely be using her again! read more

Kerri is outstanding!! Highly recommend for brides looking for their perfect wedding day look! I scheduled an appointment with Kerri for a bridal make-up trial run for my destination wedding in France. Kerri was very talented, professional, really listens - and we had so much fun!! I love how glowy she made my skin look. Also, she is a wealth of information for make-up tips and has amazing lighting that makes for great photos. Highly recommend booking with Kerri! read more

Kerri did my makeup for my first modeling shoot. She was so great at everything. From just meeting her she completely helped ease my nerves. I felt like I knew her already. She was very knowledgeable about what kind of makeup I needed (natural) and had all the right colors for my skin tone. She stayed for two hours and fixed my hair and makeup, giving me different looks for each wardrobe change. She even went above and beyond and helped with modeling poses which created some of my favorite shots!! I would highly recommend Kerri to anyone that wants a top notch experience from a makeup artist. I can't wait for our next makeup session. read more

Kerri has done my make up twice. Once for my wedding and once for a glamour/family photo shoot. Not only is Kerri extremely talented she is a wonderful person. The second you meet her you feel as if you've been friends forever. She will bring out the best in you. You won't regret working with her for any type of event. read more

Makeup by Kerri Herlihy - Glamour shoot make up - Makeup Artists Near Me

Kerri is so incredibly talented. She did my and my six bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding. I chose Kerri because it was clear that she can not only create beautiful, bold looks, but that she can also keep the makeup light and natural. I don't wear a lot of makeup and was nervous about looking overdone, but Kerri did an excellent job and talked me through each step of the process, making sure that I was comfortable with the products and colors she was using. My bridesmaids loved Kerri--she felt like another friend in the room, and really did a wonderful job with everyone's makeup. My mother chose not to get her makeup done, but when Kerri gently suggested she could use a little more eyeshadow, my mother agreed and Kerri ended up quickly touching up my mom's eyes in a really beautiful way. She even put a bit of lipstick and eyeshadow on my curious three-year-old nephew! I highly recommend hiring Kerri--she's professional, responsive, and was such a positive energy on my wedding day! read more

Bottom line: great for a glam look while still keeping it looking fairly natural, even for Indian skin tones (which not many MUA's do in the New England area, surprisingly). Kerri did my makeup for my Indian engagement party in March of 2018. I have nothing but good things to say about her, but one thing to note is if you have a big crazy family like mine, be mindful of her personal bubble. She did mention she can get a little overwhelmed (which I appreciated the heads up on) with lots of people around, so we just went into the room next door which was a little quieter. She was WONDERFUL with communication, be it through text, email or phone call. She also really listens to what the client wants. I was apprehensive about having her do an Indian person's makeup but she did my sisters in law and myself, all of whom have different skin tones and made all of us look subtly flawless. She has pictures on her Instagram of my final makeup and I couldn't have been happier. Thanks for everything, Kerri! read more

I've had Kerri do my makeup a total of 4 times now and I can honestly say I've never felt as beautiful as these days. From my wedding, to a boudoir shoot to more of a editorial/fashion shoot she absolutely nails it every time. Not only is she amazing at makeup but she's a blast to hang out with! I can't recommend her enough for whatever look you're trying to achieve. Kerri is the BEST read more

Kerri was one of the best decisions for my wedding day! I usually do my own makeup and am pretty good at it. I knew for my wedding, I didn't want to stress it and wanted to go for a professional application. I found Kerri when searching around and looked at her site. She has been doing makeup for 14 years and has a huge client base from brides to magazine covers. Her rates were competitive and better then other artists who's work didn't look as good or had a personality that wasn't for me. I reached out and got a very fast response every time. I met with Kerri a month before the wedding in her Waltham home studio for a trial. She took her time and accented my features with her professional MAC makeup. I didn't need to say much, I just let her do her thing and she would add or lessen anything at my request. With her expertise and my ideas, I felt totally comfortable..even got some tips too. We got along great and I knew I wanted her there on my big day. On the day of the wedding, she came to my bridal suite and worked along with the hair dresser and got us all done in time. My bridesmaids had never had pro-makeup before and were amazed at the results. We got TONS of compliments. Looking back at the photos now, I am so happy I went the professional route with her. Kerri's personality is also awesome. Just having her around was another bonus. She was down to earth, pleasant and fun. It really lightened the mood and I felt at complete ease right before I walked down the aisle. Priceless! I hope to find an excuse to use her again! read more

My best friend just used Kerri for her wedding in Gloucester last weekend. She did a fantastic job with a variety of personalities and styles from the bride and bridesmaids. The bride, Susie, is already gorgeous without any makeup. She wanted to look natural but a little made up...Kerri nailed it. Susie looked simply perfect. Some of the bridesmaids like heavier makeup and Kerri glammed us up just right, too. Kerri even took it upon herself to kick all of the bridesmaids out of the room as Susie was finishing her makeup, so she could have a minute to breathe alone with her mom. Loved that! We were all a little hyperactive that day and it was definitely needed. On top of her talent she was simply awesome to hang out with. I would recommend Kerri to absolutely anyone needing makeup for any event. Love her! read more

I am so happy that I found Kerri! Kerri did makeup on my wedding day for myself, the wedding party, and a few other lucky ladies. Kerri did an amazing job on everyone. Starting with my trial I knew that she would be a good choice for the wedding. Ranging from my 7 year old niece to some ladies in their late 60's, Kerri did a perfect job. She was wonderful to have around on the day of the wedding, she really made you feel relaxed. Everyone loved their makeup and her rates are competitive. When Kerri had finished with all the ladies she did a few touch ups on her earlier jobs, she really wanted to make sure everything was perfect. I would absolutely recommend Kerri to a friend and would use her again myself. read more

Kerri was fantastic! She was responsive and flexible right from the start. We ended up changing our timeline, location, and number of people - Kerri didn't bat an eye. She was fun to talk to and listened to what each person wanted. We don't typically wear makeup and what Kerri did was light and natural and stunning. I definitely recommend hiring Kerri! read more

Kerri did the makeup for myself and my wedding party. I was concerned when hiring a professional makeup artist that they would be too heavy handed and I wouldn't look like myself. Kerri was just the opposite-she made me look like a relaxed, dewy, stunning version of my natural self. She made up the rest of the family and everyone looked like a gorgeous version of themselves. Besides the incredible results Kerri created, she is delightful, warm, and thoughtful individual. She is professional and easy to work with. She listens to the different clients and gives them what they want, from a very minimalist look to a more dramatic one. I would highly recommend her for any event. read more

Kerri is absolutely amazing. She did my wedding make-up, as well as the make-up for my bridesmaids and mother. She did an incredible job and everyone looked absolutely beautiful. She is also just a really fun and sweet person, so spending a few hours with her on my wedding day was a blast. For the trial, I had told her I wanted a very natural look. She did exactly what I wanted and it looked lovely, but then she asked if I wanted to see how it would look if she went a little darker and tried some fake lashes. I was very skeptical, but decided to go along with it-- and holy crap, this lady knows what she is doing. Going darker added an element of drama and glamor that was perfect for my wedding and not at all over-the-top or trashy (which, as someone who doesn't not generally wear much make-up, had been my concern). On my wedding day, I decided to go with the darker look and was so, so happy with it. I have never felt so beautiful. I would definitely recommend Kerri to anyone and everyone (and I hope I can come up with an excuse to have her do my make-up again!). read more

There are not even enough words to describe how amazingly talented Kerri really is!! She did the makeup for my best friends wedding 6 months ago, and I fell in love with her! Yesterday was my own wedding, and Kerri was as amazing as ever! Not only was everyone's makeup sheer perfection , she also has an awesome personality to boot! I am a tough judge of makeup as I usually only do my own, I would never trust anyone else to do my makeup except for Kerri! If you want to look and feel like a million bucks, get in touch with this amazing girl! Thanks so much Kerri, you rock!!! Professional pics as soon as they're in!! read more

Makeup by Kerri Herlihy - Makeup Artists Near Me

Kerri is awesome! Not only does she do a beautiful job with makeup, but she's a great person to have around on your wedding day. She'll help you feel relaxed and provide a good laugh! Kerri did the makeup for myself, mother, mother in law, and 4 bridesmaids for my wedding on 9/27/14, and everyone not only loved how they looked but loved working with Kerri. Kerri arrived right on time, gave each girl a good amount of attention, made sure everyone was happy with their look, and offered everyone touch ups before she left. Before meeting Kerri, not everyone was on board with fake lashes, but after seeing how great they looked, they changed their minds. All of us looked our best, and I would absolutely recommend Kerri to any bride or anyone looking for a great makeup artist. read more

Kerri did the makeup for myself, my mother, and my 4 bridesmaids for my wedding a couple of weeks ago. I don't typically wear much makeup and was worried that I would look not like myself or that the makeup would be obvious. I told Kerri that I wanted a light natural look, but had no other opinion or mere idea of any other input to provide her with! In the end we looked Perfect, so natural, clean, and she definitely highlighted everyone's natural strengths and beauty. To top it off she was amazingly friendly, sweet, and funny, and really had a natural talent of putting everyone at ease on a stressful busy morning! I cannot recommend Kerri enough, and have been trying to plan future events where I will have an excuse to use her services again!! read more

Kerri is amazing. She took me and my best friend last minute for my Memorial Day wedding - and she did amazing work! She is extremely talented and was able to balance someone who loved heavy makeup, and another person who liked lighter makeup. She can do desi weddings, too!! Thank you Kerri!! read more

I will preface this by saying I am not a girly girl. Maybe I should clarify this statement because it is only half true - I am actually a very girly girl that simply doesnt have the time to be a girly girl anymore - as a busy full time personal trainer, my days begin at 5am and involve accessorizing one of my 492843 pairs of leggings with a top knot in my hair and maybe some mascara. That's pretty much it. I mean - who wears makeup to the gym anyway? Exactly. Perhaps it's more accurate for me to say that I am a reformed girly girl that is now so low maintenance out of necessity that it's comical. So back to the story: I got engaged and realized pretty quickly that I am NOT your typical bride and was pretty out of my element. I dont use pinterest, I didnt buy a single bridal magazine, and honestly thought I could wait and just buy a wedding dress a month before my wedding (alterations? huh?). Thankfully my maid of honor intervened and righted the ship so to speak and another good friend suggested I contact Kerri Herlihy to do my makeup. She had worked with Kerri in the past and swore up and down what a makeup genius she is - so I called her and set up a time for a trial. I was so nervous on my way to my trial appointment - not because of the appointment itself but basically because most brides seem to have every detail planned out and here i am, the I'm idiot bride with literally no idea what to tell her I was looking for, because I didn't even know what I was looking for. I planned to basically sit in her chair and say "Do whatever you want to do to make me pretty!" and hope that she didn't think I was a total wang. All my nerves and insecurities lifted as soon as I met Kerri - I can't even explain exactly how she made me feel but I felt like she and I had been friends forever from the moment I first walked in her door - I felt comfortable and she laughed WITH me (not at me) when I admitted how embarrassed and nervous I was that she would think I was the idiot bride. We just talked and laughed while she worked her ninja makeup magic. I loved hanging out with this super fun cool chick so much that I almost forgot she was doing my makeup. Once she showed me, well, me, in her mirror, I couldn't believe how talented she was. I felt glamorous and perfect - she captured the essence of who I am and just enhanced me, without going overboard (we've all seen those brides, eek), and I still felt like ME, but a really pretty glam version of ME. Total win. And on my wedding day? It was even better. I felt calm, confident, and so lucky to have this awesome girl sharing one of the most important days in my life with me. Words can't express how great I think Kerri is and how beautiful and talented she is - any bride would be lucky to work with her. I have already gotten three of my friends to book her for their weddings. One of my bridesmaids even booked her on the spot for her December 2015 wedding. So yeah, girlfriend is THAT GOOD. So don't drag your feet, she is BUSY and books up. You will NOT regret your decision. Thank you Kerri for everything, you are wonderful. read more

Makeup by Kerri Herlihy - 12/31/14 - Makeup Artists Near Me

Kerri is a rockstar! she was my knight in shining armor after several hopeless trials with other makeup artists. My case was a little complicated since my bridal outfit was red and I wanted a natural yet glamorous look that neither competed with my outfit nor made me look washed out ( a problem I've often seen in Pakistani/Indian brides). Another problem I faced with all my trials was that the makeup artist would try to overly bronze my tan skin tone with foundation much darker than my natural skin. When i met Kerri for the first time, we immediately clicked and she understood all my concerns. Our trial went very well and she gave me the perfect balance of natural /glamour. I looked like ME, just a prettier version of me. On the wedding day, she spent a good amount of time preping and perfecting my skin. She applied thin and even layers of foundation on my skin which made my skin look naturally gorgeous and kept the makeup long lasting. She did peachy lips/ cheeks and made my eyes bronzish smokey which looked lovely. A little highlighter on my cheekbones and inner corner of my eyes and my look was complete. Everyone at the wedding was raving about my makeup. My husband, having witnessed his cousins with pan-caked geisha like makeup was expecting me to look the same, but was knocked off his socks when he saw me. He couldn't stop smiling all night. My BFF told me I was the most beautiful bride she had EVER laid her eyes on (no seriously! ) I'd recommend Kerri to anyone in a heartbeat read more

I am really happy to have Kerri on my wedding day. She did the makeup for me and my sister and both of us were really happy. I am an asian and I usually do not wear makeup. When I did the trial, Kerri let me try two looks: one more natural and one darker look. I like the darker look (smoky eyes with fake lashes) and that's what I had on my wedding day. Everyone thought the makeup was awesome. Even my mom who is usually picky was very impressed by Kerri. I also like how the photo turned out. You can tell that I wear some makeup but it's not overdone. In addition to good makeup, Kerri is also very nice and efficient. It was nice to have her around on the wedding day and she finished our makeup in 1 hour. The rate was also reasonable :) You should definitely choose Kerri for your wedding makeup. She's AWESOME! read more

It was a pleasure working with Kerri for my recent September wedding. At my trial, I wanted a natural, bridal look, and Kerri worked with me to achieve just the right level of makeup. On my wedding day, she came to my hotel suite ready with a list of the specific products and colors that she used at my trial---so great! Kerri really understands that a photographer's lens will wash you out quite a lot, so she applied the perfect amount of makeup, so that I looked naturally beautiful in person and in my photos. Kerri also did makeup for my 3 bridesmaids, my mother, my future mother-in-law, my future sister-in-law, and my 7-year-old niece (just a little bit of makeup for her)! Some of the girls wanted more dramatic makeup, and Kerri delivered just that. She was great with everyone and kept the mood fun and lighthearted. I would definitely recommend Kerri! read more

Kerri was an absolute pleasure to work with from beginning to end. Although she was referred by my hair stylist, I still had some questions I wanted to ask before officially booking her for my big day. Kerri was very responsive and answered all of those questions and the ones I had in the days leading up to my wedding on a very timely basis. She was patient, understanding and professional. On the day of the wedding, she was just the type of person that any woman would want present along with all the most special women in one's life. She made me, my bridesmaids and my mother feel at ease, comfortable and special. And, of course, everyone looked beautiful and loved their makeup by Kerri! read more

Kerri did my mother and I for my wedding and she was so kind and amazing! I felt absolutely gorgeous on my day. Thank you Kerri! :)

Awful and rude 'service'. I contacted Kerri to ask about her availability for a photo shoot. As there were some items I needed to confirm with the videographer we agreed that she'd give me until the Monday night for the deposit. Then, hours before the agreed time she started to harass me for the money asking why I hadn't paid it yet and essentially cancelling the shoot. Her interactions were horribly unprofessional and rude. I would never put my photo shoot in this person's hands. Horrid. I suspect she got a better option that paid more and basically used rudeness to blow me off. Ugh. read more

As a former model I had worked with Kerri on a fashion photo shoot several years ago and I told her then that if I ever got married she would have to be my makeup artist. I think she thought I was kidding but when I finally got engaged she was one of the first people I called just to make sure she was available. There is a reason Kerri is my go to girl....she is simply AMAZING. I love make up and Kerri helped me combine my love for drama with a classic look for my wedding day. She even took on the task of doing make up for my entire bridal party and my mom, an all day job but she handled it like a pro, every single person (there were 8 total) looked amazing and she even stuck around to touch up everyone before we headed off to the ceremony. She was a joy to be around and when my family started to get a little rowdy she knew exactly what to say to get everyone back in line. When it comes to looking your best on your wedding day Kerri is the only person I would recommend. If you hire Kerri for your wedding day you will not be disappointed. In my opinion, she really is the best make up artist in New England. read more

Keri did my makeup and several of my friends (including a few unexpected ones) for my wedding this past September and this review is way overdue! She was absolutely AMAZING. I wanted to look natural, a more photo-ready version of myself and she definitely delivered. Everyone had a blast getting their make-up done with her. At the same time, Keri was a total professional and very easy to get along with - would definitely happily recommend her to anyone! read more

Kerri is AMAZING!! She not only did a fabulous job on my makeup for my engagement photos, but knocked it out of the park on my wedding day!!

Kerri did the makeup for me, my mom and my four bridesmaids for my August 2014 wedding. Kerri is amazing. Not only is she incredibly gifted as a makeup artist, she is also a wonderful, sweet person to be around. She made getting ready for my wedding fun and relaxed. She did such a great job on my bridesmaids that my mom (who was on the fence about having her makeup done at all) couldn't resist getting her makeup done too. Thanks, Kerri, for such a fantastic job! read more
