About

Hi! My name is Cassidy Elise. I'm a freelance/destination hair & makeup artist and have been in the wedding industry for the last 9 years. I specialize in hair and makeup for shoots, events, and film but will always have a soft spot for my brides. I love giving my clients confidence and letting their inner beauty shine with my natural, glowy glam look (that never overpowers one's natural beauty). I'm so happy I found my passion at an early age and I truly feel as though I've never worked a day in my life!

Ask any of my past brides and they will tell you I am a patient and calming presence on your wedding day. I live to please and never stop until every detail is perfect. It's your special day and I am here to make sure it's everything you dreamt of and then some!

You should be able to tell from my gallery that I have a signature "look" that is both natural and romantic. My brides don't lose themselves in a sea of makeup and crazy hairdo's- they look like their most elevated selves. While hair and makeup translating well for photos is important, I believe we can find a balance where it's enough for photos but you feel comfortable and confident with your look in person as well. The best!

Cassidy is the best!

I cannot recommend Cassidy highly enough! She recently did my makeup for my wedding, and I have truly never looked or felt more gorgeous in my entire life. She took my vision and turned it into something even better than I had imagined.

I’ve received endless compliments on my look, and even in the raw photos, the makeup is absolutely flawless. Beyond her incredible skill, Cassidy has such a calming, lovely energy that made the wedding morning feel so peaceful. If you are looking for a makeup artist who is talented, professional, and genuinely wonderful to be around, look no further!

Best makeup I’ve ever had done!

Cassidy was beyond amazing. Very responsive when corresponding over what I wanted my hair and makeup looks to be and quick with ideas and suggestions. She was at the higher end of my price range, but worth every penny, I cannot imagine having gone with anyone else. It rained my entire wedding day and my makeup did not move, by the end of the day, you couldn’t tell my makeup had been rained on at all. She was so warm and kind, really put me at ease getting ready for my wedding. Cassidy was open to any and all of my ideas and very accommodating when I needed something changed slightly. I’ve already been thinking of when I’ll visit Kauai next and would need an occasion to work with Cassidy again.

Incredible Hair & Makeup Experience

Cassidy is AMAZING. We booked her for family photos, and she also does weddings and elopements — she was absolutely perfect. She did my hair and makeup and my daughter’s hair, and we both looked flawless. I fully trusted her expertise and only asked that she keep my bangs out of my face — she nailed it and gave me the most beautiful, soft waves.

She is so gentle that I literally fell asleep sitting up while she was doing my hair — that’s how relaxing the experience was. She traveled to our condo, arrived exactly on time, and was such a joy to work with.

Professional, incredibly talented, and calming to be around. I felt confident, polished, and completely photo-ready, and my daughter looked beautiful too. I can’t recommend Cassidy enough — whether you’re booking her for a wedding, elopement, or family photos anywhere on the Hawaiʻi islands, you will not be disappointed!

Highly recommend

I'm not a daily makeup wearer and requested the most natural look possible, but with a noticeable difference that I am actually wearing some makeup and she exceeded my expectations from the trial to my wedding day. She also did my mom's, grandma's, and bridesmaids' makeup as well and everyone loved her! Our makeup lasted ALL DAY (even with the happy tears) and she also provided us with lip touch-ups for the day. I strongly recommend her!

I can’t even truly express how happy I was with my hair and makeup! Cassidy was phenomenal, she gave amazing skincare advice to prep for the wedding and listened to the little changes I wanted to make after my trial! I felt so confident and beautiful on my wedding day, all my bridesmaids looked stunning, and her and her team got us done on time! Thank you Cassidy helping make my day SO special 🫶🏻 She literally made the look of wedding day dreams come true!

Best Makeup & Hair Artist!

Cassidy was amazing! I would 100% recommend her to any bride. During my trial she really took the time to understand the look I was going for. She made and noted all of the changes that I would want to the look based on the end look of the trial and executed perfectly on my wedding day.

Also I have to mention that she’s a freakin magician and must use whatever products that Taylor Swift’s makeup artist uses because my makeup and hair withstood a huge Texas thunderstorm in the evening after my husband I decided we wanted pics in the rain!

Absolutely flawless

Cassidy was beyond incredible throughout the entire process: communication, makeup and hair test, and day of! She made me look and feel so beautiful but still like myself, and that makeup DID NOT move or fade through an entire night of dancing. I looked just as good before going to bed as I did when I walked down the aisle. I had so many people compliment me on how natural and stunning the makeup was. As someone who had a lot of imposter syndrome about not feeling "bridal" as a person, Cassidy was honestly a lifesaver. She was so sweet and so kind. She listened to me, looked at pictures of my dress, and guided me in all the right directions. I would book her again in a heartbeat. I would book her just to study what she does and pick her brain. She is truly an artist!

If you want to feel amazing on your wedding day, Cassidy will make you feel like that 100%!

I hired Cassidy to do my makeup/hair for my wedding along with my whole bridal party. I was completely in awe of her talent. My makeup and hair came out absolutely flawless and she brought my exact vision to life. I have had my hair and makeup done before, but Cassidy has been the best (not kidding). It looked amazing in all my photos and lasted all night long. She was very professional and was so good at communicating with me. The makeup felt amazing on. I had explained to Cassidy that my hair was hard to work with, but Cassidy made it look fabulous somehow! She has such a great talent!
