Kelly did the makeup for my wedding and my bridal party too. From initial contact to wedding day, she was wonderful! At my trial appointment she listened to what I wanted, offered advice on skincare, and was patient with my watering eyes as a newbie to false lashes. On the big day, all of us were thrilled with our…
