She is a hero

Kevan came to the rescue the morning of my wedding when my makeup artist had an emergency and couldn't make it, and she was fantastic. She drew on notes from my trial and put it together beautifully. I felt great without feeling buried in makeup, and it was wonderful to have her calming and reassuring presence as I got ready. She is a gem.

Simply the best

Kevan is the best there is. I asked for a softer look and I felt like she really elevated my features without making me look super done up. Wedding days can be a lot of pressure, and addition to making us look great, Kevan was super calming and delightful to be around! She is worth every penny!

Makeup was perfect, even in a mask!

We hired Kevan for our microwedding in April 2021. I was really nervous about the makeup aspect, because I knew I would need to wear a mask for part of the event, and be taking it on and off throughout the evening. From the first makeup trial, Kevan explained her process and applied a foundation that would help makeup hold even with a mask. She was right: The makeup held perfectly after the trial, and held up during the entire microwedding! We've hired her again for our larger reception in April 2022, and I recommended her to another friend getting married in May. Professional, attentive and friendly - everything you could ask for in a makeup artist! (Note on photos: The second two photos of me and my bridesmaids at dinner show us after we had taken our masks on and off a few times. In the first photo, my bridesmaids had taken their masks on and off a few times, but I had only done so once.)

An Absolute Gem

It was amazing working with Kevan on my wedding makeup. For me, I really wanted to have a calm, but awesome getting ready process for my wedding. She did my makeup, my mom, sister, and mother in law, and was a total pleasure. From my makeup trial, I was completely at ease, she made sure to calibrate my makeup so I looked like an elevated version of myself. She's extremely detail oriented and left me with an awesome touchup kit and it was super easy to keep my look up. It stayed very much in place ALL day and everyone loved how it turned out. I would love to have Kevan do my makeup everyday, and I would 100% recommend her to my friends. My glam team was on point and I loved having them there on my special day!

Natural Beauty

Kevan did a wonderful job with my makeup for my wedding and her team did a great job on my bridal party as well! I wanted a natural & subtle look for my wedding day and Kevan made sure it happened. She even worked with me to do a second trial run just to make sure it looked perfect. Kevan has a lovely personality and really helped make getting ready for my big day relaxing and joyful.

Kevan is amazing!!

I couldn't recommend Kevan highly enough! As someone who is pretty comfortable with makeup, I wasn't initially sure I wanted to have someone else do my wedding makeup. After one conversation with Kevan at my SIL's recommendation, my mind was changed. Even though I didn't have a concrete idea of the look I wanted, she understood the vibe I was going for immediately. I wanted to feel glamorous, and she did exactly that and more. On the day-of, I felt so beautiful and I never had to worry how my makeup was holding up. My mom, MIL, and bridesmaids all still talk about how much they loved their makeup!

I also really appreciated how organized and on top of everything she was - she didn't mind getting our makeup started early, she made a hair/makeup timeline for the wedding day, and even covered a surprise chest zit on the day-of! (TMI, but seriously it was a life saver!) If you want to feel like the most beautiful version of yourself on your big day, Kevan's your person!

Kevan is the best!

It was such a pleasure working with Kevan! She is so incredibly talented, yet she is so humble. I connected with her right away and couldn’t wait for my makeup trial! After we discussed my vision of neutral tones, she said she got me. And WOW did she execute to perfection. I felt the most beautiful I’ve ever felt in my entire life. She also did some of my bridesmaids makeup and they were singing her praises all day. I didn’t touch up my makeup once the entire day! She uses high quality, clean & natural products that felt super light weight on my face. Kevan really cares about her clients and has an impeccable sanitation process between each brush and each client. I know there are a lot of makeup artists in the area, but trust me when I say that Kevan is one of a kind. She is a true artist, and will make you feel like a billion bucks on your big day.

Flawless makeup!

As someone who doesn't wear a ton of makeup on a regular basis, I was really drawn to Kevan's romantic makeup style. She also knew my photographer's style and was able to adjust my makeup accordingly. On the day of our wedding, I had gotten exactly 0 hours of sleep and looked like a total zombie! Kevan worked her magic and made my tired face look flawless! Also, she kept the energy high and was so much fun even when I was nearly falling asleep--I can't thank her enough!

My mom and bridesmaids still rave about her several months later and many of our wedding guests have asked about our makeup, so her work speaks for itself!

Best ever!

Kevan was an absolute delight to have for my wedding day. I can not even tell you how happy I was with everything. She will make you look and feel like the most beautiful bride!!!

I knew from my trial that she was going to knock it out of the park. I told Kevan that I wanted a romantic look with rose golds and sparkles. She knew exactly what to do to execute that!

During my trial she made me feel calm, excited, and most importantly beautiful! She did the exact same for my wedding day. From making me laugh to talking about kids my experience with Kevan was amazing.
She also made sure I had a hankie and told me what to do if I started crying. She was so detailed about everything and I loved that!

I would highly highly recommend hiring Kevan for anything you need!
