Best Face Forward provided spray tans, eye lash extensions, and make up application for my June 7th, 2014 wedding. Working with Kelli was one of my favorite experiences during the wedding process. I can't say enough good things about her work! Kelli is very knowledgeable about the services she provides, is professional, and can execute looks flawlessly. You can tell she loves what she does because it comes through in her work. We worked together closely in the weeks leading up to my wedding. We met for a make up trial, she educated us on the spray tan application process, and she also did my eye lash extensions prior to the wedding. She takes the time to ask questions in order to understand what kind of look you would like to have on the day of the wedding, provides recommendations based off her expertise, and enhances your natural beauty. She understands what type of makeup is needed to look good in photos and makes everyone feel comfortable. During all of my appointments, she wanted to make sure that I was happy with all of the details so that I would not be nervous on my wedding day.The day of the wedding she arrived early to set up and was just the person you wanted to spend time with while getting ready. She is calm, personable, and focuses on making sure you feel your absolute best! I thoroughly enjoyed having her there to be a part of my wedding day. She did makeup for myself, the MOB, MOG, and bridal party. Even my sister who normally only wears chapstick and mascara loved the way Kelli did her makeup. Everyone looked and felt absolutely beautiful! My family is still raving about Kelli's services. If you're looking for a makeup artist for your wedding or a special occassion, look no further. Go with Kelli Rich of Best Face Forward. You will not be disappointed. She is absolutely fantastic!

Kelli did my makeup for my wedding along with several family members and bridesmaids. She was with us all day as we got ready and was incredibly attentive to everyone's needs and unique styles. She made everyone feel comfortable and made suggestions based on conversations with each person. For my makeup, I did a trial about a month before the wedding. Kelli took the time to explain her thoughts and recommendations. She made adjustments and carefully wrote down all the things we agreed on. On the day of the wedding, I was relaxed and happy as she created my perfect wedding look! People raved about my makeup and it lasted all night long. Kelli is an absolute professional and is great to work with!

Kelli was amazing! She was totally flexible and worked around my schedule. She traveled to my home for my makeup trial and to my wedding location to do the makeup for my bridal party. I would definitely recommend Kelli to anyone - she's professional, friendly and truly knows what she's doing when it comes to airbrushing, makeup, and lashes! A++

Kelli was amazing! I am so glad I used her for my wedding day make-up. She made me look and feel my absolute best! Kelli also did make-up for my mother, mother-in-law, and sister-in-law, who all looked beautiful! Ever since the trial several months ago, I was excited about having Kelli be a part of my wedding day. Not only did she listen to what I wanted and deliver stellar results, her warm and friendly personality made me feel great about working with her. On the wedding day, she helped me feel relaxed and pampered as she also made me look phenomenal! I cannot recommend her enough! In searching for a make-up artist, I noticed that Kelli's prices are on the low side (with a trial included), and I can say for a fact that she delivers professional service of the highest quality. I looked and felt fabulous all night!

Kelli Rich is amazing! I cannot say enough good things about her. I've only had my makeup professionally done twice before my wedding and I was a bit nervous about not looking "myself," since I don't typically wear a lot of makeup. I had an amazing trial with her. She was understanding and started slowly applying makeup to make sure I felt comfortable. On the day of my wedding she did makeup for me, two moms, flower girl and two bridesmaids (one that added it last minute after seeing her beautiful work). She was calm and a great personality to have around.

Kelli made me feel beautiful on my special day. She was always responsive and on time, a wonderful vendor to work with. Look no futher, go with Kelli!

Kelli Rich was absolutely amazing to work with. She wanted my makeup to perfect and wanted me to feel comfortable. On the day of - it looked amazing and I can't thank her enough. She also came and spray tanned us (myself and some bridesmaids) prior to the wedding and that came out beautiful as well. She is organized, efficient and on time and is a master of her trade. She also did my mom's make up and she looked absolutely beautiful - we had everyone asking us all night - Who did your makeup. Thanks Kelli!!

I could not have been happier!! Kelli was an amazing person to work with and did an amazing job with my makeup, as well as my bridesmaids and mom! She listened to exactly what each person wanted and made sure each of us felt comfortable and beautiful. She was super friendly but professional all at once and made us all feel at ease. Her prices are definitely worth the work she provides and I would highly recommend her services to everyone! Thanks again Kelli!! :)

My wedding was in October of 2011. When I was searching for vendors, I knew I needed an affordable makeup artist that would do a spectacular job. I wanted airbrushing, a solid trial, someone that could travel to my venue, and someone that could airbrush tattoos (one of my bridesmaids has several).

I found everything I was looking for and so much more with Kelli. From the second I reached out to her, I knew that hiring her would be the right choice. She responds to emails in a very timely manner and her attitude during the planning process was always positive and excited.

For the trial, she was happy to come to my house on a Saturday morning and spend a couple of hours going through makeup options. She was very thorough and I did not feel at all that she was in a rush or not enjoying herself. She showed up with SO much makeup and it was all great quality--MAC, Chanel, Dior, etc etc. She knows what she is doing!

On the day of the wedding, Kelli came to the hotel we were getting ready at bright and early and set up her station along with her assistant. Having her in our Bridal suite was such a pleasure. She had a positive and calming attitude that was exactly what a Bride needs. Everyone that got their makeup done was blown away by how beautiful, glamorous, and still natural they looked. She even did a perfect job of covering the tattoos! Kelli was also extremely flexible. We had one girl decide that morning that she wanted her makeup done and two others ask for just false lashes and Kelli made all of it happen.

Kelli's overall value for her price is unbelievable. Included in your Bridal makeup is your trial, her travel to you, your very own lip color to keep with you all day, and also false eyelashes. What's really important is that she does gorgeous makeup that miraculously lasts the entire day and evening! Hire Kelli, look your best ;-)

Kelli with Best Face Forward is incredibly talented. I could not have asked for a more perfect look on our wedding day. Everyone looked great... flawless!The makeup lasted through heat, tears and lots and lots of laughs. Kelli did my makeup on two different occasions this year, both looks were different but perfect. Everything from communication to the the trial to the day of the wedding was stress free. She is amazing with eye makeup, and made everyone from blue to brown pop in their own special way!!! Great Job and thank you again Kelli!!!

Kelli was amazing!! We had 11 girls getting their make-up done. Me (the bride), my 7 bridesmaids, mothers of groom and bride, and my grandmother. Not only was Kelli able to have our make-up done in plenty of time, it came out better than I could have ever imagined. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous. Many of us got the airbrush make-up, my skin looked FLAWLESS. I normally have oily skin and after a few hours my make-up and skin get shiny. Not on my wedding day. My make-up stayed perfectly in place (as did everyone else's) for the 12+ hours and through photography. I highly highly recommend Kelli. She does a stunning job and was worth every penny

Kelli was amazing and so easy to work with. All of my bridesmaids makeup looked so soft and beautiful. I myself have very sensitive skin and don't change up makeup brands often so I was really nervous about having my makeup done for my wedding day. During my trial Kelli had suggested using a product called clarisonic which was a wonderful suggestion and has helped with the clarity, skin tone, and texture of my skin. I was so thankful for her recommending this product to me. I was very happy with the way my makeup came out on my wedding day and I love the way it looks in all my pictures. Kelli was so sweet and listened to exactly how we wanted our makeup to look. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks again Kelli for all your help in making us all look our best. ~ Danielle

Kelli was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very responsive and helpful from day one. I wear makeup on a daily basis however not much of it. I have never even had my makeup professionally done before my wedding! I was a bit nervous of looking "too done up" however after meeting with Kelli my nerves were calmed! Kelli drove all the way to my home a few weeks before my big day for a trial. There, she spent a couple hours with me trying all different looks until we found the exact way I wanted to look for the biggest day of my life! On the wedding day, I truly could not have been happier with the way I looked. My bridesmaids too, were SO happy with everything. My hair dresser who I have been going to for years had also commented saying she's never seen someone "that good" and then asked for her contact info to give her future brides! Kelli is a wonderful makeup artist and I was absolutely recommend her 100% !! Thanks for making us beautiful !!

Kelli is amazing!! She is so awesome at makeup! I was worried b/c my skin isnt always perfect, when I had my trial I knew I had made the right choice and boy was I lucky to find her. On my trial she made me look great but boy did she blow me out of the water on my wedding day. She made my skin look flawless yet it didnt look like I had makeup caked on my face. Between my hair and my makeup, I have never felt as beautiful as I did that day!! I was so impressed with my make up and everyone's makeup she did for people in my wedding party. So many guests kept saying to us "whoever did your makeup she did an amazing job" and we couldnt agree more. She was on time, organized and got everyone's makeup done and did touch ups too if anyone needed them!! I highly recommend Kelli!!!

Kelli did an amazing job on my makeup for my wedding day! It stayed perfect all day and night long even though it was 80 degrees! And it stayed perfect even after a night of dancing! Thanks so much Kelli!

All I have to say is that Kelli is amazing! She is vey professional, does a beautiful job with her work and is a very calming presence! I truly enjoyed working with her. Kelli did my makeup, my Moms and some of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked amazing! There was no rushing and it was a very laid back experience for all! My makeup has never looked so good! It felt like she was a friend and we were all very comfortable around her! Anyoen looking for special occasion makeup, or even just makeup tips, I would recommend Kelli! She is actually doing my makeup again for my brothers wedding and also doing the brides makeup, and I am super excited to work with her again!

Kelli was very friendly and a pleasure to work with. I really loved the make-up application she did for me for my bridal shower and wedding day. She also did my mother's make-up for the wedding which came out awesome. I would definitely recommend Kelli's services.

Kelli was awesome! She was very courteous and professional via email, and always responded promptly. She was willing to travel for the trial and was very knowledgeable and had great ideas for my makeup. Her prices were extremely reasonable, and I loved that she included false eyelashes for me and my bridesmaids. The day of, Kelli arrived right on time and was a great presence to have in the bridal suite. She worked seamlessly on each bridesmaid and finished with plenty of extra time for touch-ups. It was great to have the extra lipstick/gloss for the whole day, and many people commented at the end of the night that my makeup looked as good as it had when I first walked down the aisle (and that was after many hours of hardcore dancing!). Overall, I highly, highly recommend Kelli: she'll put together a gorgeous makeup plan for you and all your bridesmaids, her prices are very reasonable, and she's a very nice person, too!

Kelli was the makeup artist for my wedding on Sept. 4, 2010. She was always very responsive to my e-mails and was on time for each appointment. I thought I had an idea of what I wanted for my bridal makeup during the makeup trial, but I discovered that I had no idea and became discouraged. Kelli quickly turned the appointment around by making some great suggestions and listening to all of my and my husband-to-be's makeup concerns. By the end of the makeup trial appointment, Kelli put together a perfect color palette for me and put me at ease for my big day. Kelli also did an amazing job with my maid of honor's makeup the day of my wedding. She came to the location that was most convenient for us and made the experience completely relaxed and worry free. A pimple appeared on my upper lip the day of the wedding, which could have been a disaster, but Kelli made it completely disappear with the airbrush makeup. Kelli was very sweet and professional and my bridal makeup looked extremely elegant and beautiful.

Kelli was great to work with! She came to my house for the trial and tried a few things with me to see what worked best! Her prices are great, $200 for bridal and $65 for bridesmaids, and that's for airbrush! She's very professional and easy to work with!

I worked with Kelli Rich as my makeup artist for my wedding on August 22, 2010. From the beginning at the makeup trial, I was impressed with Kelli's knowledge of makeup, professionalism and friendly manner. She was very flexible and willing to take the time to try different colors and looks. Kelli was always quick to respond to my questions and emails. On the wedding day, she was willing to travel to the hotel where my bridesmaids and I were getting ready. Despite being a chaotic morning, especially with many tears shed due to the rain, Kelli was able to make all of us look beautiful!:) I also recommend using the airbrush makeup. Overall, I HIGHLY recommend using Best Face Forward Makeup as your vendor for any special event in your life. I wish I could do it all over again..on a sunny day of course!:) Thanks Kelli! XOXO --- Isabelle

Best Face Forward has done the makeup for myself and my 4 daughters for 3 weddings now and I have never been disappointed. It was just by chance we saw the ad in a local paper and what good luck. Besides doing an excellent job, she is very accomodating to everyone's needs and her price is more than reasonable. Thank you Kelli.

Kelli was very professional and traveled 2.5 hours to provide make-up for an entire wedding party. She was very talented and listened to exactly what each person wanted. Her talent showed on each person and she was able to make each one of us look unique and beautiful. She really knew how to highlight different features on each girl. Thank you Kelli!

I've used Best Face Forward for three wedding parties now and each time the makeup has been amazing. Kelli does an incredible job, and really takes her time to make sure you look and feel awesome. The airbrush makeup is flawless! Go with this makeup artist--she's the best.

Best Face Forward (Kelli) did my makeup for my wedding day. I am extremely picky with my makeup and I have never like the way anyone else did my makeup in the past. I chose Kelli because she had a website with a lot of info, did airbrushing and I always wanted to try, plus her prices were good. I wanted to have someone do my makeup that just did makeup, not someone at a salon who just did makeup on the side. When I had the trial I was very pleasantly suprised with Kelli's work. It was the first time I felt that I could trust someone else to do my makeup, especially on such an important day. Kelli listened to what I wanted, asked questions if she was unsure of what I was asking for and she always made me feel comfortable to let her know if I wanted any changes or didn't like something. Kelli is not only a great makeup artist, but she is very personable and easy to talk to.
I am very happy with how my wedding day makeup came out and I would definitely use Kelli again and recommend her to anyone I know!

Kelli, brought a large inventory of products and colors to make sure that she could cater to the different needs of each member of the wedding party. I was very nervous about being overly made up but Kelli worked with me until I was comfortable with the level of intensity. Much to my surprise my makeup lasted all evening without requiring a touch up. First time for me because I have oily skin and require many touch ups to avoid being shiny. I was very happy with the outcome. I would refer anyone to Kelli with complete confidence of their satisfaction.

Kelli did the makeup for my sister wedding and my wedding, and we were all very pleased with her work for both weddings. I would strongly recommend using Best Face Forward. I have another sister getting married this summer and there was no doubt in our minds to use Kelli again!

Professional, talented, flexible, and calming. These are the words I would use to describe Kelli. I have not had the best experiences at makeup counters trying out new "looks" in the past. Too much poking & pulling of the skin and then I would end up looking not at all like myself. So I was skeptical about hiring a makeup artist for my wedding. But I knew I wanted to bump up my everyday look with something a little more special for the big day. I took a chance and hired Kelli for a trial, based solely on her website and reviews, and boy was I pleasantly surprised! I don't even think I knew she was applying makeup at times, she has such a gentle touch. So I snapped her up for my wedding and not only did she make me feel my most beautiful self, she was also a calming force when the jitters took over. The makeup lasted all night long with only a lip touchup needed! I can't wait until I have another occasion for professional makeup application... without a doubt, Kelli will be the first person I call!

I can't thank Kelli of Best Face Forward enough for her professional make-up services for my daughter's wedding. As the mother of the bride, it was difficult for me to find a make-up artist willing to work with my "mature skin". From the moment I sat in Kelli's chair until the minute I stepped down Kelli was calm and patient explaining what she thought would look the best on me while still asking me my personal preferences. What an amazing job she did! Usually when friends look at photos they compliment hair styles, but in all my photos people comment and compliment my make-up. I highly recommend Best Face Forward for any special occasion make-up needs!

I chose Kelli from Best Face Forward to do my wedding make up based on a referral from a high school friend. I could not have made a better choice! Kelli could not have been more accommodating. She traveled from NH to my apartment in Massachusetts for the makeup trial and spent over two hours with me going through different looks including different lip shades, eye shadow, etc. The end result was fantastic and she replicated the look exactly on my wedding day. She even gave me a lip gloss to keep and some fantastic free samples. I was so impressed by her talent, professionalism, and passion for her work. I've never seen so much makeup, but she knew exactly what to use on my face to highlight my features. It was amazing to see her transform my mom and mom-in-law as well on my wedding day. Neither of them usually wears makeup and their transformation was absolutely stunning. Everyone on my wedding day complimented how beautiful all three of us were. I highly recommend Kelli!

Very professional and extremely well done...as mother of the groom I felt very pampered and "younger"...
