I Have Never Felt More Beautiful

Kerri was the make up artist for myself, my 8 bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother in law on my wedding day. Not only did she do the make-up for all 11 of us immaculately, she did so with time to spare, even after doing touch ups. Kerri is a master of highlighting a person's natural beauty so they still feel like themselves, just augmented in the best ways. My makeup didn't even smudge through 20 mph winds, some rain, food, drinks, and sweat. Everyone looked so beautiful, even through the end of the night. Cannot recommend Kerri enough for any of your makeup artist needs.

Kerri is the BEST!

Kerri was the absolute best! From the first email she was warm, professional and a great communicator. She was recommended by a friend and I was so happy she was available on my wedding day! She did an incredible job with not only my makeup, but my bridesmaids and mother/mother in-law. I don’t wear a ton of makeup and she made me feel like the perfect elevated version of myself. I couldn’t recommend her enough!

Highly recommend Kerri! One of my best wedding decisions

Everything about working with Kerri was amazing!!! She did my wedding makeup and I also was lucky enough to have her do my makeup at one of my best friend's weddings a few months prior. Her style and art for makeup is unmatched - she makes you look so flawlessly natural and glowy. I have truly never looked or felt better getting dolled up than when working with Kerri! On top of her unmatched skill, she is just such a nice and down-to-earth person. I have enjoyed getting to know her through the trial, my friend's wedding, and my own, and she is such an amazing person inside and out. I will definitely be returning to Kerri for all my future makeup needs and strongly recommend her to others! One of the best wedding decisions I could have made :)

I loved working with Kerri and was so happy with my makeup

Kerri was recommended by a friend as well as by our photographer and she was great! Her presence and energy was so calming and confident, which was exactly what I needed while I was getting ready. I loved my makeup - it was the perfect “natural glam” look that I wanted after we made a few tweaks following my trial. All of my bridesmaids, my mom and my MIL also looked great and were happy with their makeup. (Photo by Kelly Benvenuto)

Don’t hesitate - best makeup artist you will find

Please don’t hesitate - you’ve found the best makeup artist in the area. She has patience and skill. She listens to what you want and provides her honest opinion. Kerri does a natural look but can go glam - she’ll stop and you will evaluate together. A true professional - don’t hesitate to book!

So thankful for Kerri!!

Kerri is a true artist! She is thoughtful and detailed in the work she does. She made myself and all of my bridesmaids feel so comfortable and beautiful! Everyone looked stunning and like the best version of themselves. She takes time to really understand what each girl wants for their makeup and nails it every time. She was also excellent with mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom make up as well! Couldn't imagine doing the day with someone else!

Beautiful, natural wedding glam!

Finding and booking Kerri (before anyone else scooped her up on my wedding date!) was one of the best decisions I made throughout the wedding planning process. From the start, I could tell Kerri was extremely talented, professional, and exactly what I was looking for to achieve the “natural glam” bridal look I was going for. She was quick to reply to my emails and feedback, which I was very grateful for when juggling multiple vendors at once. On my wedding day, Kerri arrived on time and with an upbeat, yet extremely calming presence. She did makeup for my three bridesmaids, mother, sister-in-law, and me and everyone looked absolutely STUNNING. A few of my bridesmaids were initially a little nervous, as they’ve been unhappy with their bridesmaid glam in the past, but Kerri quickly put them at ease. Everyone looked, and more importantly felt, amazing! When it was my turn, I suddenly felt a wave of unexpected anxiety and nerves. Kerri immediately picked up on this and reassured me it’s very common for brides to get nervous at this point in the day (who knew!) She maintained a calming space around us by limiting distractions and background noise and encouraging a few deep breaths. I truly cannot thank her enough for this. Kerri was the real MVP of the glam process and I left her chair feeling like the most beautiful bride. I hope to get the chance to work with her again in the future! 10/10 recommend!

Natural-looking, beautiful makeup

Kerri is so incredibly talented. She did my and my six bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding. I chose Kerri because it was clear that she can not only create beautiful, bold looks, but that she can also keep the makeup light and natural. I don't wear a lot of makeup and was nervous about looking overdone, but Kerri did an excellent job and talked me through each step of the process, making sure that I was comfortable with the products and colors she was using. My bridesmaids loved Kerri--she felt like another friend in the room, and really did a wonderful job with everyone's makeup. My mother chose not to get her makeup done, but when Kerri gently suggested she could use a little more eyeshadow, my mother agreed and Kerri ended up quickly touching up my mom's eyes in a really beautiful way. She even put a bit of lipstick and eyeshadow on my curious three-year-old nephew! I highly recommend hiring Kerri--she's professional, responsive, and was such a positive energy on my wedding day!

12 out of 10 – Kerri is the best!

Kerri is the real deal. Not only is her work stunning, but she is also super professional and personable! Kerri was always quick to respond with clear and concise answers, which is highly appreciated when you are dealing with multiple vendors and hundreds of emails during the wedding planning process. Day of, she made me, and all of my bridal party feel gorgeous, including my grandmother who had never had her makeup done before and was a bit nervous. Kerri calmed her nerves and gave her such a beautiful and natural look – grandma is still talking about it today! My entire bridal party is still talking about how incredible Kerri was and how much they loved their makeup. I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful, glamourous, but not overdone look for my wedding that lasted ALL night long. I can’t wait to work with Kerri again in the future – THANK YOU, Kerri!!

Kerri is the best!

Kerri was an absolute pleasure to work with and she made me, my bridesmaids and my mom all look gorgeous for my backyard wedding. I decided I wanted a more natural look, and Kerri made me look like a glowy, elevated version of myself without completely covering my skin. On top of being incredibly talented, Kerri is a total sweetheart. You'll wish the process took longer just so you could chat with her more.

Do yourself a favor and book Kerri when you have the chance - she will go above and beyond to make sure you feel beautiful on your special day!
