Kelly and her team were absolutely incredible! I had a large group of girls to get ready and Kelly and her team made it happen without anyone feeling rushed or anxious. They brought calming vibes and listened to everyone’s inspirations and makeup preferences and made everyone look beautiful with makeup that enhanced their unique features but were still cohesive as a group. Kelly really makes everyone she’s around so comfortable. We also used her amazing tanning services and she was the most professional I have ever experienced explaining what she was doing and making you feel so comfortable in a sometimes awkward process! I can’t thank her enough for making me feel so beautiful and relaxed on my wedding day! My whole bridal party raved about their experience!

Kelly helped me feel like the best version of myself and not overly done, not made into someone different, just me… but glowing. That meant so much, especially on a day filled with so many emotions.

And she gave our moms their moment, too. Watching them get pampered and feel beautiful was something we’ll always remember. They were so happy, and it showed in every photo and every smile that day.

Her warmth, calm presence, and your genuine care made the morning feel easy and joyful. We’re so grateful for having her by our side on our special day!

Everything about working with Kelly was wonderful! She’s such a kind, fun person and she has the best island vibe! She was not only super fun to work with and felt like another one of my besties on my wedding day, she’s also super talented! I felt like a princess after she did my makeup! Kelly also did a phenomenal job on my spray tan before the wedding!! Cannot recommend her enough!!

Kelly was the best, from the trial to wedding day she was delightful to work with and everything was seamless. She completely captured the vision for everyone’s individual looks and I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Kelly is truly incredible! She did my makeup for both my wedding and a photoshoot, and each time the results were absolutely flawless. Not only is she extremely talented, but she’s also kind, fun, and so easy to talk to. She instantly makes you feel comfortable.

Kelly really listens to your preferences and has an amazing eye for detail. She went above and beyond to make sure the entire wedding party felt beautiful and confident. I would recommend her 100% and can’t wait to book her again for any future event!

Love love love Kelly! She has a real cool laid-back vibe. I don’t know much about make-up but she made me feel so comfortable and taken care of through the whole process. She was very professional and extremely helpful and quick with her replies. She made me feel so so pretty for my big day. I also used her for tanning, which came out so perfect! 10 out of 10 recommend! Her husband Sean is also a barber and all of the groomsmen went to him the day before to get touched up and they also had a great and fun experience.

I truly don’t think there are enough words to express how grateful I am for Kelly and how blown away I was by her work. She did makeup for 11 women on my wedding day—myself, eight bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law—and every single one walked away feeling beautiful and confident. She handled so many different skin types, textures, tones, and preferences with absolute ease. It was like watching an artist in her element.

She showed up bright and early, worked her tail off all day, and never once lost her energy or her joy. When she finished my makeup and handed me the mirror, my jaw LITERALLY hit the floor. We’d done a trial beforehand, which I loved, but I requested a few tweaks day-of—and she executed every detail flawlessly. I can whole-heartedly say I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life.

On top of makeup, she also did my spray tan a few days before the wedding, and it was stunning. Natural, glowy, zero streaks… I truly felt like a model. And the makeup itself? We had a beach wedding with heat, humidity, wind… and that glam stayed locked in for 10+ hours on every single one of us. Absolute magic.

But beyond her incredible talent, Kelly is one of the kindest humans I’ve ever met. Sitting in her chair on the day of my wedding was the moment all my emotions finally hit me—excitement, nerves, joy, all of it—and she met me with so much compassion, warmth, and calm. She truly supported me through those moments in a way I’ll never forget. I walked away not just feeling beautiful, but genuinely cared for.

I honestly feel like I gained a forever friend, and I cannot wait to get back to OBX to see her again. Booking Kelly with OBXMUA will be one of the best decisions you make for your wedding day. She’s unbelievably talented, endlessly kind, and you will be in the most capable hands. I could not recommend her more.

Kelly is such an incredible artist! She truly listens to what you want and how you want to feel. We all wanted a natural look that was elevated and Kelly did just that. My daughter was absolutely gorgeous and glowing! Patient and so knowledgeable with current makeups and how they respond to all skin types and ages. Kelly made my daughter and all of the wedding party feel so beautiful.

We all plan on going back for a girls trip and having Kelly do our makeup again! 100 out of 100! Thank you Kelly, your the best!

Kelly is absolutely the best! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also brings such a calm, kind, and grounding presence to the wedding day—something every bride truly needs.

Her makeup style is timeless and elegant, and she made everyone feel confident and beautiful. Kelly took the time to really listen to each person’s preferences and concerns, tailoring each look perfectly. The results were stunning across the board.

I can’t recommend her highly enough—she’s a true artist and a joy to work with!

Choosing the right person for hair and makeup shouldn’t be overlooked since you spend most of your wedding morning together. And choosing Kelly was the best choice! She was so easy to get along with, worked with any concerns of my wedding party, and put everyone at ease whether they were a makeup pro already or never wear any makeup. Kelly also came to my home and did on-location spray tans for my wedding party. I had the ultimate bridal glow for the entire weekend! On wedding day, she did an incredible job and my makeup stayed put through 90 degrees of afternoon sun followed by two torrential rainstorms! I could not recommend her enough. It might be cliche, but I truly never felt as beautiful — and more like myself — than on my wedding day.
