Testimonials

"I wanted to THANK YOU again for the beautiful makeup you did. The wedding pictures are just starting to come in and LOVE our makeup! You did an amazing job! Hats off to you! You nailed it! :) Our makeup stayed on for the entire wedding day and night... you are the best!"

- Sandy Rondinelli

"Kelsi did such a fantastic job on my makeup. She made my day special because she made me feel really good all day! "

-Jamie Rowley

"Kelsi did an amazing job and I would recommend her. She came to my house a few weeks before my wedding and spent time talking with me about the wedding day. She asked about my dress, flowers, colors, personality, and the look I wanted for my special day. We did a practice run then. It looked great and I absolutely loved it! It was one less thing for me to worry about on my big day. On my wedding day Kelsi was very professional, punctual, and stayed with me doing touch-ups throughout my pictures and before the ceremony. My makeup looked amazing all day long. I really don't know what I would have done without her!"

- Kris Zylstra

"I hired Kelsi to do the makeup for my wedding party in July 2011. Her professionalism, skill, and dedication exceeded my expectations, and my bridemaids and I felt it was worth every penny we paid to have Kelsi there on that day. She did a great job of making us look glamorous, yet not over the top, and she made sure everyone loved their looks. I would highly recommend Kelsi as a makeup artist. She is truly talented and an awesome person to work with."

- Natalie Ivory
