Kim Baker Beauty is a full service makeup artist in San Jose, California, specializing in bridal makeup. Although Kim is based in San Jose, she’s willing (and loves) to travel for your event, often going to Carmel, Monterey, Oakland, San Francisco, and Santa Cruz. Having a passion born from doing makeup for her fellow dance team members, Kim focuses on making skin feel healthy, glowing, and natural.
Services Offered Kim Baker Beauty uses makeup to enhance your features instead of cover them, working with you to create a look you both love and feel comfortable in. She can accommodate groups of up to 10 people and offers consultations alongside her makeup services. Kim is able to do contour makeup, fake lashes, makeup trials, natural makeup, on-site makeup, and wedding party makeup.
Kim did my wedding makeup in October, better late than never, but Kim Baker Beauty was the best choice in makeup artist for my wedding day and throughout the entire planning process. She was accessible to me with any questions I had about my wedding or makeup in general. After my Trial, she knew my skin type and helped me pick products that helped put moisture back in my skin so I wasn’t dry and flaky for my big day! Her esthetician background was an added bonus.
Leading towards the wedding day, Kim helped calm my nerves. She listened to my needs for both the morning schedule and how I wanted to look. Her knowledge and use of skincare helped not only me, feel and look my very best, but she made my mom and mother in law to be feel comfortable about getting their makeup done. My mom is very routine and nervous about it being overdone and my mother in law does not generally use makeup. Kim helped every step of the way and even sent many MOB samples and video testimonials to help ensure they felt comfortable making the appointment. But the best part was how much fun we had together and how comfortable I immediately felt. Kim is a new friend and officially my go- to makeup guru!
You will not go wrong by hiring Kim Baker Beauty as your bridal makeup artist!!

Absolutely Incredible Artist
I could not be more honored to have chosen Kim as our makeup artist for the day. From the get go with our trial, her calm and relaxing demeanor made me feel so much more relaxed and confident that I was in good hands! She really made us feel connected on a deeper level as friends and she always checked in with suggestions and happy thoughts! She truly did the extra and went above and beyond. She stayed with us through first look photos right up until the ceremony, and she was right there to bring me a smile and calm my happy tears with her magic brushes! As a person whose skin is sooo oily, i was so concerned that my makeup would melt right off...NOPE NOT THIS TIME! My makeup stayed flawless through a night of kisses, dancing and (sweating :/). I do not wear a lot of makeup to begin with and she made me feel incredible and perfectly made up with just the simple touches! We went with the natural lash extensions for the day, and I'm never looking back :), I cannot believe how much she brought out that inner beauty and glow. She partnered with Raven for the day and boy those two are a dynamic duo. each of my girls and my mother could not have looked more beautiful than they did the day of my wedding! Kim is my forever go to girl!- Alissa M.

Calm, Creative and Overall Lovely!
Kim did my makeup for my wedding this month and was awesome! She's calm, kind and creative. She used high quality products during both the trial and the day of sessions and listened to what I wanted. Kim also did makeup for my mom and mother-in-law who were also ecstatic with her work. We all felt like she enhanced our features and made sure our makeup lasted all day. Kim goes above and beyond to make sure all her clients feel happy with her work. She consults with you about skincare, products and even sent me a playlist to put on while getting ready. She's a lovely person and a fantastic artist. I highly recommend working with her.
Kim did makeup for a bride I provided flowers for recently, and her work was flawless. She has since been so generous with her industry knowledge and is a superb professional. I can't wait to work with her again.
I met Kim while on a wedding appointment in The South Bay this last Fall. I was SO IMPRESSED with her professionalism! It's very rare to see a mobile makeup artist be as organized as she is with not only her equipment, but with how she handles her clients the day of. She's a very kind person to boot. And her makeup skills dominate! I hope to work with her again someday.
