Kim has provided the BEST make-up services over the years. I say that because she did my wedding make-up in 1998, my step-daughter's wedding party in 2003, and my make-up again for a special occasion in 2012! She is ALWAYS on time, professional, super-nice, and super-good! She will do just what you ask; if you like color, she knows color. If you like a more subdued look, you'll get it. I've had lots of make-overs in my day; Kim is by far and away the BEST when your appearance really counts.

Kim did an outstanding job as our makeup stylist! I worked with her several times during the wedding planning process, and she did a great job with numerous different styles for different wedding-related events. For the wedding itself, she gave me the "natural look" I was going for, and she was able to adapt the makeup to my specific needs (my gas permeable contact lenses preclude my being able to wear powder eye shadow or foundation). Kim also did a great job with the bridesmaids and mothers, allowing for a little variation within the group to match each woman's style, but also keeping the colors consistent enough that they complemented each other well. She also put a little lip gloss on the flower girls -- at no extra charge -- just so they could feel a little more grown-up. Kim is not only talented, but also a pleasure to work with. She's a great conversationalist and a very interesting person, and I very much enjoyed getting to know her. I highly recommend her work!

I enjoyed working with Kim and loved the way she made me look.

I did do a test makeup session with Kim, which was great. It looked really good and I got to show my fiance - who told me he didn't like the bronzer. So it was great to be able to make that adjustment for my wedding day.

Kim arrived at the church well before I did and was all set up when I got there. She did a fantastic job on my makeup and was very personable and pleasant to be around moments before I said "I do!"

Kim is fantastic! Before finding Kim, I had two trials with different makeup artists, and came out of both looking very made up and unlike myself. Kim on the other hand did a wonderful job creating a very natural and beautiful look. I emailed my sister a photo of my trial with Kim even though my sister had said she didn't want her makeup done, and she immediately wrote back and asked if Kim could do her makeup too. On the day of the event, even more of my family members joined in and had their makeup done once they saw Kim's work. It was expensive, but definitely worth it and everyone looked gorgeous in the photos. On a personal note, Kim is also a genuinely nice person, and I was really glad to have her there. I even learned a few new things about makeup that I've put into use on a daily basis -- I wish I had known some of these things years ago! I'll definitely recommend Kim to all of my friends.

We contracted with Kim to do the makeup for the members of our daughter's wedding party which consisted of the Bride, three Bridesmaids, Mother and Grandmother of the Bride. She not only did the makeup for all six ladies, but created a beautiful hairstyle for the Bride when the hairstylist became unavailable. Kim soothed nerves and provided a much-needed jolt of professional confidence and efficient calm.

Kim from BeutyMark was an amazing asset for our wedding. She listened to me and she advised me on different alternatives. The trial was a fun outing with my friends and Kim was a wonderful host. The day of was absolutely amazing as she brought with her not only her professional tools, but also a smile and the warmth I needed. Her work was impecable and absolutely fabulous (I wish I could hire her every morning!) but the most important thing is I felt comfortable in my own skin throughout the day. I highly recommend BeautyMark for your event.

Kim's makeup is fabulous, I and everyone in my wedding party were very satisfied with her work. Going in for a trial is essential and then she does a good job of replicating the exact look you wanted.
BeautyMark responded with the following comments:
Thank you so much for taking the time to review me. I enjoyed being there so much. And you looked beautiful.
I consider myself to be extremely flexible and always try to go above and beyond. If at anytime I did not meet your expectations in that area I apologize.
I hope your day was perfect.
Sincerely,
Kim

Let me first start by saying, if you are looking for the best makeup artist in town, look no further, Kim Giammaria is it! I found Kim at the last minute and she was completely flexible and willing to work with me. She was highly recommended and through that I took the chance of trying her without a trial. She typically encourages people to get the trial; however, since I was very last minute, she was very willing to take me as a client. Never meeting her, Kim came to my hotel room and began to work. She took my natural features and accented them in a contemporary manner. I didn't want to look done up and so she worked with my features and highlighted them. I looked so beautiful on my wedding day because Kim worked with my skin tone, complextion, and really brought out my features. She also worked with my dress and knowing what my hair was going to look like. She was very responsive and it was great working with her. She is very creative, flexible and attentive. Most of all, she has a pleasant personality. I highly recommend Kim as the best makeup artist in town!

Thank you so much for your kind words and for taking the time to write such a lovely detailed note.
You were a pleasure to work with. It means so much to me when I hear that I was able to make one of my brides feel and look beautiful on the most special day of their life.
I would love to see some photo's.
I wish you a life time full of happiness.
Truly,
Kim

Kim is a great makeup artist and a joy to have around on your wedding day. She did makeup for me, my mom, sister, and grandmother and we were all really happy with how we looked. I wanted really natural makeup and my sister wanted super dramatic smokey eyes and she did a fantastic job with both! Kim is super sweet and a very calming influence and as an added bonus she is a dresser. I did not think I needed one but when it took my mom 5 minutes just to do one of 25 buttons on my dress we started to panic- Kim totally saved the day with her patience and a buttonhook she carries with her!!! She also showed me how to carry my dress and veil so as to not get them dirty or wrinkled. She was wonderful and I highly recommend her!

Kim was an absolute pleasure to work with, and the end-product of her services was excellent.
From the moment my daughter (the bride) and I met her for a trial run, she made us both feel at ease, and she did a great job with our make-up. She understood the way we wanted to look (not too "made-up," yet special). On the wedding day, she did a great job on everyone she worked on. She was also a very calming influence in the bridal suite that day. She helped my daughter get dressed and ready for pictures and for the wedding. Our make-up stayed perfect through the wedding, dancing and all.
We would hire her again in a second!

Kim is fantastic!!!! She arrived early in case we needed help doing anything, was a joy to be around and was a master with the make up. My mom and I looked fantastic! She helped me get dressed as well as puting my veil on. I really can't rave enough about her. I will definitely be using her again for special occasions.

I was concerned about looking too "made up" on my wedding day, but Kim put those fears to rest. She made me look (and feel) beautiful but natural-looking, both in person and for the wedding photos. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
