About


I am a "onsite" make-up artist offering traditional & airbrush make-up using MAC Cosmetics. I travel to the location where you are getting ready on your wedding day. I bring a comfy chair & natural lighting. My goal is to enhance your inner and natural beauty so you will be camera ready! Using the state of the art MAC cosmetics and techniques will achive that objective. A little make-up goes a long way & will really make a difference in your photographs. I trained with MAC Cosmetics and The Powder Group in NYC.

I am also a Certified Public Account but always had a passion to be part of a bride's special day. I decided to put down the pencils & pick up the make-up brushes. Let's crunch the numbers together & come up with a make-up package for you and your budget.

This is your special day. You should look & feel like a princess. I intend to make that happen.

Sit back, relax and enjoy your wedding day. You derserve it!!

Kim did my make-up for my wedding. She was soooo great! The make-up looked great, felt very comfortable. The air brush was not heavy at all, however it was long lasting. From my photo taking til the end of the reception, it was almost 10 hours. I did not have to reapply any make-up other than lipstick. Kim is also very nice. She works around your schedule and shows up on time. I would recommend to do a trial with her first just so you know what you want for the actual day of the event. Thank you, Kim!

Kim is fantastic! I had procrastinated till about a month before the big day to book someone - mainly because I have problem skin (Psoriasis) and I don't wear makeup. During the trial, I shared my concerns with Kim and in talking with her, I felt less apprehensive. I had never heard of airbrushing and was amazed by how light the application was! She put me in front of the mirror and for a second I was stunned - I was surprised that while I looked extra hot, I still looked like me, natural. We also talked about the possibility of having to cover up some of the psoriasis spots, she said that if I needed it the day of my wedding that it would be no problem. She made me feel comfortable and even a little excited about makeup. On the big day, she did a great job on the girls and again did an amazing job on me. Thankfully I didn't need to cover up any spots - but I felt completely confident in her abilities, that if the worst case scenario happened, I would still have looked beautiful.

I can't say enough about Kim! My makeup on my wedding day was perfect! I am not one that wears a lot of makeup and my husband would prefer if I wore none. When I told her that at my trial she did just enough so that it would stand out in pictures, but that I looked like myself and not overly done up. On my actual wedding day I felt that my makeup looked even better than in the trial. I loved that Kim took detailed notes on the colors and such that she used and I felt so comfortable with her doing my makeup on my special day. She did exactly what I asked for and made me look beautiful.

Kim also did my mother's makeup as well as my sister and sister in law. My mother had a trial, but asked Kim to change a little bit the day of and her makeup on my wedding day rocked! The other two ladies hadn't been through a trial but Kim did an awesome job on their makeup just going off of their requests. She is such a professional and not to mention a real sweetheart. I truly enjoyed working with her for my wedding!

Everything I wanted for makeup, Kim was more than happy to provide. She was friendly and professional every step of the way and even when I decided to change my makeup look a bit between our trial and day of service, she was more than happy to help. Everything looked absolutely beautiful on the day of the wedding and I got many compliments on the look of my makeup. I wanted to look very natural but radiant, like "me on my very best day." I didn't want to look overly made up. Kim delivered what I was asking for. Thank you!

Kim did a great job on myself and my two bridesmaids. I had a bad experience with getting my eyebrows waxed the day before and I had red marks all around my eyebrows the morning of my wedding. Kim was able to cover them up perfectly and still made me look great! She truly saved my day and I would recommend her to anyone who wants their make-up done for a big event!

Kim McGillan is the best make-up artist. She is extremely professional, dedicated to her craft, and great personality. She really took the time to put my make up and make sure that I was satisfied. My photographer also liked her work and even approved it for taking professional pictures for my wedding. If I ever need a make up artist for an event, I know that I can count on Kim to make sure I look completely flawless.
