Low Stress, Seamless, and Beautiful Results
I had a great experience with Bella Luxe Hair and Makeup! Olivia and her team were wonderful to work with and made my wedding day feel low stress and seamless. Everyone flowed together perfectly, and both my bridesmaid and I were so pleased with our hair and makeup.
I’m incredibly picky when it comes to hair and makeup, and this is honestly the first time I can genuinely say I loved the way mine turned out. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! -

Unbelievably Beautiful!
While I didn’t use Olivia for my wedding, I had my maternity shoot down in the Keys and Olivia came highly recommended from my photographer! From the minute we connected, to the time I sat in her chair, until after the photos were finished - I felt well taken care of and absolutely beautiful! Being in Key West, having makeup stay on all day is very rare, but Olivia made sure I was photo ready and my hair & makeup stayed put for hours! Not only that - she gave me recommendations on everyday products I should be using to help keep my makeup staying fresh all day! The next time I am in need or any family or friend are in need of hair and makeup here, she will be my only go to! -

I cannot recommend Bella Luxe enough! From the time of booking to my wedding day, Olivia made the process seamless. She is an amazing hair stylist and makeup artist. My mom, sister and myself could not have looked more beautiful on my wedding day! My coworkers are still talking about how they were dripping sweat (85 degrees on my wedding day) and my makeup looked perfect all night! Ladies look no further, BOOK HER NOW! -

AMAZING talented makeup/hair
Olivia was so knowledgable and professional. I texted her multiple times months before my wedding for lip colors, hair options, etc and she answered right away. She is sweet and definitely knows what she is doing! I have never loved my makeup more, it lasted all night even with every event from ceremony-reception being outside in the sun, I highly recommend her for your wedding /events. my mom and sister loved their makeup and lashes looked flawless! -

Look no further 💄
If you have ever been in the position where you ended up having to re-do your own makeup after getting it done many times, look no further! You WILL NOT ever be in this position if you hire Olivia and her team for your big day. When I say it was such a relief to find Olivia, I truly mean it.
I have been in a lot of weddings over the last 10 years as I am in that phase of life. After several weddings I stopped getting my hair and make up done. It was frustrating to pay a lot of money and then end up disappointed and having to redo it.
Through these experiences you could see why I was nervous about finding the right person for my wedding day. I wanted to be able to sit back and relax!
Olivia’s attention to little details and her artistic eye is like no other. I actually found her by searching the hashtag #keywestmakeupartist and every time I would click on a photo it would lead me back to her IG account.
Out of all the photos that come up with this hashtag, hers stood out. Her work is consistent, which to me is key. My entire bridal party said to me that they thought Olivia and her assistant did a wonderful job.. we all know there is usually one that complains.. not this time!
One of my bridesmaids even tried to book her for her own wedding the following month but of course Olivia was booked.
After my trial with her I asked the name of the lip products she used on me so I could purchase it. The day of the wedding I was telling my bridesmaids I had bought what Olivia used on us so we could touch up but I that I had forgotten to get the gloss. Olivia then said- “here you go” and gave me hers. Not saying everyone should expect this lol but it was just so sweet. It really is the little things.
Another plus: she is really cool person. I secretly want to be her friend.
Clearly, I cannot recommend her enough!

Bailey Sent on 12/30/2020Loved her!
Olivia was amazing and so was her team. Prices were great! She met up with me two days prior to our wedding for a trial run and to do my spray tan. I am not into sales people, or someone who is overly joyous or fake. Olivia was real and professional and brought a sense of calm on what can feel like such a hectic day.
And she is so talented! I have two bridesmaids that are professional bridesmaids and have been through the hair & makeup deal so many times. They had only great things to say about Olivia and her team. And they did my Mother's and MIL's make up as well! One thing they both told me, "I don't want to look like I am trying to be young." It's important to find a glam squad that can accommodate our Moms and make the feel beautiful and not like they are going to their prom circa 1981.
Bottom line: Olivia was cool AF, my makeup looked amazing, I felt amazing, and it lasted all night. I am so grateful I found Bella Luxe and booked them for my date.
And don't forget to prep your face ladies! Dermaplane, hydrafacial, something the week prior to your wedding. This will help the artist make you look your best, trust me. -

Olivia and Belle Luxe did my wife's hair and makeup and we were absolutely thrilled by the results. My wife doesn't usually wear much makeup, and she never does anything fancy to her hair. She wanted to look like she had her hair and makeup professionally done, but still appear understated. While that is a difficult task, Olivia pulled it off - and then some! My wife received so many compliments on her hair and make up, we couldn't keep track of them all! Needless to say we would highly recommend Olivia and Belle Luxe for your wedding or special occasion. -

Olivia is first class! Her communication, attention to detail, and flawless execution are unmatched. Her professionalism and positive attitude, not to mention her mastery of hair and makeup, made my hot Key West wedding in the middle of a pandemic stress free. My wild hair and constant sweating were no match for Olivia. My hair and makeup remained perfect during a sail and my entire wedding day, even driving half the island in a golf cart. My mom, sister, and I have never felt more beautiful. I wouldn’t trust anyone else in Key West! -

If you’re looking for pretty waves & a glowy natural glam look, this is your team. I don’t wear tons of makeup day to day but wanted to be a little more glam for my wedding. Olivia did it perfectly. We did my trial for the rehearsal dinner & I got so many compliments. Any feedback I had, Olivia paid attention to it for the day of and it was perfect. Christina curled my hair exactly as I wanted and did a very pretty half up, half down romantic wave hairstyle for rehearsal dinner & the day of. Olivia also answered all my questions beforehand and was very helpful. Both were pleasant and personable, very great type of people to have around you the morning of. Thanks for making me look & feel great -

Olivia did my makeup on my wedding day and I looked flawless. I told her that I don't like heavy make up, more natural, but enough to notice in pictures etc and she did just that. I had so many compliments throughout the night and our professional pictures looked amazing! This was my first time having professionally done make up and it's still unbelievable to me because through all the sweating and a couple of tear jerkers, my make up stayed on completely. She was friendly, warming, and knew how to work her magic. I'm so happy that I had for our special day. I absolutely highly recommend!! -

I met Olivia and Cristina ahead of time for my trial. They are super professional, personable, and not to mention incredibly talented. On the wedding day they were punctual and did an amazing job doing my hair and make up (bride), maid of honor, bridesmaid, mother of the bride, and mother of the groom. Love them- would definitely recommend!! -

Brittany Sent on 05/05/2018I have such positive things to say about this team when it comes to hair and makeup! I am a perfectionist and these ladies put me at such ease after my hair trial! Jessica did my makeup and she was amazing! I wish I could have her do my makeup for every event I have. She really listened to what I wanted. I don't wear a ton of makeup usually, so this was a little outside of my comfort zone. She did a more natural look and I felt so confident! Christina did my hair, my sister's and my Mom's hair. My sister and I showed her a picture we found on Pinterest and she was able to recreate it beautifully. My Mom is very particular about her hair and she couldn't decide on a look. Christina was so patient and listened to what she wanted. We were all so impressed and felt beautiful for my big day! Thanks for everything!! Brittany

Odessa Sent on 11/02/2017I ADORED having Olivia and Christina on my big day, they are both truly professionals, sweethearts and easygoing, they know what they are doing and they do it better than what you ever expected! Specially if you don't have the time to do a make up trial like in my case. My makeup was a dream, and so it was my hair! My Maids of Honor as well were pleased and happy with theirs, one of them said it was the best makeup and hair she has had done ever! THANK YOU so much girls!
Ps: Thank you Olivia for the great advice about the lights for my decor! -

Ruth Sent on 05/12/2015Olivia and Emily are a dynamite team! Emily provided updos for myself and 4 of my attendants and Olivia provided makeup for myself and 3 of my attendants. We could not all be happier with the service. The outcome of our hair and makeup was perfectly flawless and we received so many compliments the night of the wedding. My bridal party and I joked that we wish they could come with us everywhere to beautify us. If you are looking for a professional team that does amazing work, look no further. BellaLuxe Hair and Makeup is where it's at! -

Emily Sent on 12/15/2014I booked Olivia for my (bride's) makeup and all my bridesmaids and Christina did my hair. Not only did I look amazing, but my makeup and hair lasted all night long. Even at 1am, my makeup still looked great! Both girls were so great to work with too. They were accommodating to my last minute changes, prompt and provided a great start to my wedding day. I would highly recommend them to anyone who doesn't want to melt in the Key West humidity on their wedding day!! -
![Sarah]()
Sarah Sent on 11/26/2014Olivia and Christina were so amazing! My bridesmaids and I absolutely loved them. Olivia does an INCREDIBLE job on makeup. All 9 of us were so happy with the results and felt gorgeous! Christina did a great job on the hair as well. All of the bridesmaids and my Mom's hair looked so good! Would definitely use this duo again!
*The only thing I would recommend is not having the bride go last with hair. We were running about and hour late and I was the one whose hair was rushed. Needless to say, my hair fell completely flat the moment I stepped out in to the Florida humidity. -

She truly is a one of a kind makeup artist and will make you feel like a queen on your wedding day or any other event you may be attending! I had the pleasure of her makeup services on the day of my wedding along with my whole bridal party. Everyone including myself was thoroughly impressed by not only her talent, creativity, flexibility, timeliness as well as her sweet and fun personality! She is a true professional! Olivia is always in the know of the current trends in the makeup world, and has style like no other! She is willing to provide you with suggestions for your makeup and helps to best fit the makeup for your event and the setting that it is in. If you want to feel on top of the world on your wedding day and truly have the “Baddest” (meaning absolutely AMAZING) makeup on the day of your event, Olivia Gootee and Baddest Beauty Key West should be your number one choice! I would highly recommend their services!

Tyler Sent on 11/13/2013Olivia and Christina are amazing!!! I would highly recommend.
I have used their services on numerous occasions, including my wedding, and they are extremely professional and have always exceeded my expectations.
My makeup is always flawless and my hair is exactly how I envisioned which is really important when choosing a Hair and Makeup Artist, especially on your wedding day!! Consistency is key and these girls are always right on point. I also had a large wedding party of 8 Bridesmaids, 2 Mothers, 2 Flower Girls, and myself to get ready and we all looked gorgeous and had time to spare. I can’t say enough about these girls and their services.
I love all of their work and will definitely be using and recommending them in the future!!

Sherri Sent on 04/23/2026Truly gifted in the art of Glam!
Olivia and her team absolutely delivered “wow” hair and makeup for my daughter’s wedding day. During the trial, she styled my daughter’s hair in an updo, and I was convinced that was the direction we’d go—but seeing her on the big day with glamorous Hollywood curls and waves, her hair down, and makeup that was pure perfection… she looked even more beautiful than I ever imagined.
Every member of the wedding party looked stunning, and I can honestly say I have never felt more beautiful myself as a 61-year-old mother of the bride. Olivia brought not only incredible talent, but also such a calm, easy presence to the room. She helped soothe my daughter during a few anxious moments, which meant so much.
Everything held beautifully for hours, and the entire experience was seamless and joyful. We are so grateful to Olivia and her team for making us feel truly radiant on such a special day. -

Exactly what you want on your wedding day
Let me start by saying I am extremely picky and had both hair and make-up trials with other stylists in Key West and I was not pleased so, I was very short on time and had 14 ladies needing hair and makeup. Because of my bad experience with the other stylists, I was sure I wanted a trial before the big day. Unfortunately, I live in New York city and wasn’t going to be down in Key west until the week of the wedding. Olivia and Christina were booked solid but still made time to come to my hotel and give me a trial. After the trial, I was absolutely thrilled. They actually listened to what I wanted and made it 10x better. I bought these fake flowers to put in my hair for the wedding day and Christina gave me her honest opinion on them, but was very sweet about it and said she would absolutely use them if I wanted to. I knew I wanted something glamorous added to my hair, so I told her I’d think about it. When I consulted with my sisters and friends about it they 100% agreed with Christina and I am really glad she gave me her honest opinion. On the day of the wedding, she took a halo type piece that I originally bought for the rehearsal dinner and with a scissor crafted this stunning little pin that looked so much better.
Olivia and her team dealt with my crazy large family with grace and professionalism and they all had a calming vibe, which is no easy task with so many stressed out New York women in one room. They were all punctual, friendly and extremely talented. They made my friends and family look absolutely gorgeous and I would HIGHLY recommend Bellaluxe to anyone who wants to look and feel gorgeous on their wedding day! -

Lesia Sent on 02/15/2017I found BellaLuxe Hair and Makeup through mutual friends and saw their amazing work online. I decided to hire them for mine, bridesmaids, and mother of the bride hair and makeup. Olivia is great with makeup, I showed her the picture of the makeup look I loved and she definitely recreated it and made it work for my face and complexion. She did a great job with my bridesmaids and mom, everyone looked beautiful. Unfortunately to say, we didn't love our hair as much the makeup. I had an updo with a braid on the side and a bun in the back, which came undone on the side even before the reception and the stylist used 42 pins to secure it. Overall, I would definitely use BellaLuxe for makeup, but look for hair stylist elsewhere.
