I cannot recommend Kellie enough! She made me feel like the best version of myself—natural, glowing, and still me. My makeup lasted all day and night through tears, hugs, and a packed dance floor. Kellie was also such a calming presence the morning of the wedding and kept everyone laughing. I’m so grateful I found her!

I recently hired Kellie to teach a makeup class at where I work, and it was absolutely fantastic! Kellie has such a natural gift for teaching—she broke down the “5-Minute Face” step by step in a way that was easy to follow, fun, and we also gained real techniques we can recreate at home. What made the class even more special was Kellie’s personality. She had us laughing the entire time, and it felt like a girls’ night out with a professional touch. She shared her favorite products, gave detailed instructions on how to apply them, and made sure we all felt confident with the look. The end result was beautiful and totally achievable! This is such a brilliant idea for a party or get-together with your girlfriends! It’s interactive, fun, and you walk away with both great memories and a new set of skills. Kellie is a true pro who makes makeup approachable, exciting, and empowering. I can’t wait to book her again!

Such a great experience! I had Kellie once for Boudoir shoot and loved it- the pictures came out great! I also recently had her assistant, Sam, do my makeup for my engagement photos. She was so friendly, efficient, and did a great job!

If there was a Top Chef for Make Up Artists, Kellie would be it! She is AWESOME! She made me and my entire family feel so comfortable, cared about and BEAUTIFUL! I was skeptical about even getting my makeup done at all, but am so thankful I did! Thank you, Kellie!!!
