Keely is a true artist! She made me look better than I ever thought I could look on my wedding day, LOL! She was so awesome to work with. So kind, and makes you so comfortable. She was also great about asking what your preference is. I really didn't know what would look nice on me so I showed her my wedding colors and she went with it. The outcome was exactly what I would have wanted. She's a pro. She had done my friends bridal makeup and I loved it so much I booked her for mine! Air brushing is key too, such a clean and natural look. Thank you so much Keely! You rock!

Kelly Ulrich did an amazing job with my wedding makeup! I did a trial with her and LOVED my makeup, but when the big day came around I decided to change a few things from what we did at the trial, and Keely was totally up for it! She was completely concerned about making sure my makeup was exactly what I wanted. She has a really friendly personality that added to the fun and happiness of my day. She is worth every penny. She even did my mom's makeup! My mom is 60 and had never had her makeup professionally done before, and Keely made her look BEAUTIFUL! I just had a great experience; I felt more beautiful than I ever have my entire life, which is exactly how a bride is supposed to feel!

I was having a destination wedding in San Diego and didn't have time to have a make-up trial before the wedding. I was very nervous in selecting a make-up artist since I wasn't going to have the chance for a trial. I rarely get my make-up done over the counter because they tend to go overboard. Thankfully my wedding planners led me to Keely! Keely was great to work with over the phone and through email before my big day. When we did finally meet on my wedding day she was awesome! She did my make up, my mother's makeup, and 1 of my bridesmaid's makeup. Everyone always tells you that you always look beautiful on your wedding day, but I can honestly say, Keely made me radiant. She understood exactly what I wanted and was willing to do everything I asked. She traveled to us in our hotel which made things so much easier and stress-free. Keely was a perfect choice!

I was very nervous about having someone do my makeup for my wedding. When I had my makeup done in the past, it looked unnatural and messy. But then I found Keely! She made my makeup look natural, flawless, and beautiful in photos. She knows how to highlight your features and make you feel like a million bucks.

Keely was so warm and professional. She kept us calm and made us all look gorgeous on this very special day. She is a delight and you can not do better than to have her do your make-up. She listens to what you want. Hire her she's the best!!!!

Keely's work was amazing. I stumbled across her website when searching for a makeup artist in San Diego where I was planning a beach wedding. Her portfolio was beautiful and she responded to my initial email immediately. Due to having an out-of-state wedding I was unable to meet with her prior to the wedding, however she maintained contact with me prior to the event and made me feel very comfortable.

She was professional and friendly, showed up on time completely prepared to make me look perfect for my wedding day! She worked quickly and efficiently on the big day. She was able to execute my vision of makeup that looked natural, but elevated. I chose to have her airbrush my makeup and I would recommend airbrushing to all of the brides out there. The makeup stayed flawless throughout the outdoor ceremony and all during the reception and celebration. I have nothing but positive things to say about Keely and her work and would highly recommend her to all the brides-to-be out there. As she left the bridal suite the morning of the wedding I remember telling my bridesmaid, if I lived in San Diego I would want to be friends with her! Her demeanor, attitude, and personality while completing my makeup made me feel like she was more like an old friend than my makeup artist.

I loved everything about my makeup on my wedding day. Keely is really down to earth and really knows what she is doing. I would use her again in a heartbeat and recommend her to any bride.

Keely is absolutely fabulous!! She worked with me on my vision and it was just perfect. "Stunning" was the word that I heard that day and I owe that to her! Keely is super efficient as well, on time, and stayed on schedule while taking her time with my bridesmaids and the mothers too, well she actually finished early! She was so calm and fun all day, she made the hole experience enjoyable, and helped keep me calm through it all. I highly recommend her for your wedding day or any occasion really :)

Keely was absolutely amazing I could have not asked for a better person to do my makeup I felt life I have never felt before but she also made me look so natural and enhanced all my own features. I got married over 6 months ago and to this day my bridesmaids and I still talk about how amazing our makeup turned out. I wish I could take her home with me and have her as my personal makeup artist every day. I promise you if you choose Keely you will be more than 200% confident with your decision and so happy and beautiful on your special day.
