I went to Kiki for two occasions, for a photo shoot and for my high school reunion. Both times, I walked away looking and feeling like a million bucks! Not only is Kiki fun to work with, she works hard to give you a flawless look. Also, my makeup did not smudge or fade all night. She brought out my best features and I still receive compliments to this day about her work. When you go, she loves for you to have a clean and moisturized face if possible. And, come on time and don't rush her because she will not do a rush job. She will take her time and make sure you walk away feeling magical!!!!!! I highly recommend her work! read more

I am a model and have used several makeup artists in my time. This woman is not only amazing at what she does, but I love how she customizes your look to YOU. She's not textbook and applies the same look to every person. She takes time to see what fits you and the look you are going for. She also offered some amazing skin care tips without me asking. She is flexible, will travel, and for her work - it looks amazing both on and off camera. This is important because I have had face art done and sometimes it will look good in one, and not the other. Definitely my preferred make up artist! read more

My experience with Kiki J was amazing! A few friends and I booked her for a photoshoot we were having for head shots and the results were way more than I was expecting. Excellent work, very professional, extremely informative, and a great attitude. She definitely takes what she does seriously and it shows in her work. She has a way of bringing out natural beauty and make women look like $1,000,000.00. It's less about "make-up" and more about the aesthetic and symmetry of the face. I absolutely enjoyed The Kiki J Experience and look forward to working with her in the future! read more

How can I even put into words how awesome and amazing Kiki is. She listened to what I wanted and went above and beyond. She did my makeup for my wedding and all I can say is I have never felt so beautiful. She did everything I wanted and more for my makeup. She is kind and listened to what I wanted but also gave input to see what would work best for me too. I have and will continue to use Kiki when I need my makeup done. She makes you feel relaxed and like you've known her for years. I feel blessed to know her. Amazing makeup artist!!! read more

I've used Ki Ki for a myriad of events, from black tie/formal to prepping me for small gatherings with friends. Each time my make up was not only flawless, but complimented my look without the makeup looking extras. I've always had natural blends that look like they were a part of me. I love her personable service, her classy finished masterpieces but most importantly I love her skin care. I am acne prone still, but have never had an after make up break out. Even on my worse skin days, I look flawless! read more
