Incredible

Where do I even begin? I found Kirsten through more than one referral from friends both near and far and When I saw her work I knew I needed to have HER for my wedding day.

We met for a wedding day trial and I was sold, not only from the second I met her where she helped me understand how what I want and what would compliment me might not be the same thing, but especially when I saw the finished result. I looked incredible!!! It was as if she took 10 years off me and it was so natural.

I posted my before and after on Facebook and I got over 300 comments saying what an awesome job she did.

6 months later when we met again for my wedding day, she was on point once again!

Highly recommend her! Friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly talented!

Highly Recommend

Kirsten was AMAZING! My mother in law and I went to her for a trial and instantly knew she was the one who was going to do our makeup for the big day! She instantly made us feel comfortable and was so easy to talk to/ask questions. She even recommended some products for my dry skin and my skin has changed tremendously for the better😍
The morning of my wedding she arrived on time and calmed any nerves I had, made me laugh and did my makeup flawlessly. I’ve never felt so beautiful. She’s extremely thorough and took breaks to hand us a mirror and make sure we liked what she was doing along the way! Thank you Kirsten❤️

Wonderful Experience

Our experience with Kirsten was great from beginning to end. We met with her for a bridal trial beforehand and we felt comfortable. She really took her time to make sure we were satisfied and even offered suggestions to improve issues with our skin. She wasn’t quick to just throw a ton of makeup on and went step by step having us look in the mirror to make sure the right amount of makeup was applied and we were satisfied. The makeup made our look more enhanced while still being very natural looking. Kirsten arrived on time the day of the wedding and we enjoyed having her be part of my daughter in law’s bridal morning .

I highly recommend using Kirsten if you are looking for someone to enhance your natural beauty on your wedding day. I also plan on using Kirsten in the near future to show me some techniques on applying my own makeup.
