    Positive - they did EVERYTHING to make me happy!!

    I found To Make Beautiful through a friend of a friend but was convinced through the many great reviews on Wedding Wire.

    To Make Beautiful did an amazing job on the bridal party’s hair and makeup, and went above and beyond to make sure my hair was perfect.. I’m pretty sure I asked them to re-braid it 6 times… but they were patient with me and made sure I looked me ABSOLUTE best on my wedding day.

    They also leveraged my photographer to check the make-up before group photos which allowed them to make sure the makeup looked perfect in person and on camera.

    Wonderful hair and make up team!

    To Make Beautiful was recommended to me by my photographer and they were fabulous! I highly recommend working with them. Communication was good, they were easy to work with, and the cost seemed to be on par or slightly less expensive than many others I researched. Jordan and Taryn did my and my wedding party's hair and make up and everyone looked SO GOOD! Both my hair and make up stayed put all night in spite of dancing and sweating (summer wedding) for hours on the dance floor! Not only that but the getting ready process was very smooth and calm which is a big plus on your chaotic wedding day. Taryn and Jordan were wonderful! My bridal party...

    The best hair and makeup in the NorthShore

    Kim, Jessica and other team members from To Make Beautiful made our wedding dreams come true. They were super nice and very flexible, as we kept adding people to the wedding party for hair and makeup. The trial (which I recommend) went well, and the day of the wedding, my hair and makeup was absolutely stunning. It survived the 85 degree heat for 12 hours!! I have oily skin too and so I didn't think it would make it. I had it done in the morning, and by 11:30 at night it was still flawless. Everyone told me I looked like a supermodel on my wedding day. The team including Jessica came to our hotel and were very accommodating....

    Above and beyond

    From amazing makeup that one budge, to helping bridesmaids get dressed this woman does it all. Her personality, perfection and professionalism is what sold me at my trial. I had gone to THREE other MUA’s it wasn’t until I got here that I finally had hope that my make up would look amazing on my wedding day. Day of she was such a radiant of ray of positivity & prepared for everything. She applied these super light lashes that you couldn’t even feel & they looked amazing. When she was cleaning up some of my girls had tag on their dresses well she was right behind them helping the snip them off & help others fix their straps she...

    I had the absolute best experience with Kim and everyone else at To Make Beautiful! Dana, Jess, Jordan, and Angela were all incredible to work with on my wedding day.

    Drop Dead Gorgeous!!

    Honestly, where do I even begin. Look no further!!! Kim and her team GOTCHU!!! on your wedding day!!! 

    Choosing a makeup artist was the hardest vendor to pick. I never wear make up, more than just eyeliner on occasion. I did not want my face to look like it wasn't me, or that there was a bunch of caked on makeup on my face either. I wanted a natural look with a little "umph" and boy did Kim NAIL IT! I went to see Kim for a trial with my MOH, and I'm so glad I went to the trial and I had somebody with me. I knew my MOH would give me her honest opinion as well, since...

    Amazing Makeup Artist!!

    I was very nervous to get my makeup done because in the past as I never had the best experience. When I met with Kim for my trial, she really understood what I wanted. She is so friendly, professional and the makeup looked AMAZING. I just felt so pretty and confident. When it came time for my Wedding, WOW. It is really all I can say. Kim was punctual and she made me feel very calm and excited for the big day! She brought Jordan and they both did such a phenomenal job on my Wedding party. Everyone looked so gorgeous and it was great to see my makeup lasted through the night! I cannot recommend To Make Beautiful enough!!

    So talented!!

    To Make Beautiful did the hair and make up for my bridal party. I have had my hair done a few times as a bridesmaid and never really like how it comes out so I was really nervous. I shouldn't have been because it came out AMAZING - better than my wildest dreams. Same with my makeup. My sisters and mom were also so happy with how theirs came out. I felt so at ease with the girls who helped us and completely trusted them. They are so super talented. Hire To Make Beautiful for your big day!!

    Look no further for your wedding day hair and make up vendor!

    From our very first e-mail exchange, Kim was very friendly, easy to talk to and approachable. My trial instilled so much confidence in me, and I knew she was the person I NEEDED to do my make up on my wedding day. On the big day, Kim and her girls made the getting ready process so easy, enjoyable and fun! I cannot say enough good things about To Make Beautiful Esthetics- even my bridesmaids were gushing over the way they looked (and trust me- they're picky!) Every woman deserves to look and feel their very best on their wedding day, and Kim makes sure that every little detail fits your vision.

    Amazing Experience--Highly Recommend!

    To Make Beautiful was a preferred vendor through my wedding venue, and I could not be happier that I chose them to do my wedding day hair and makeup! I can’t say enough how great an experience I had with them from start to finish.

    When I had my makeup trial back in early March of 2020, Kim was so personable and fun, and she did my makeup even better than how I envisioned it. When COVID-19 shut everything down days later, I got a little worried that my November 2020 wedding might not happen.

    Over the next several months, my now husband and I decided to push our date up to take advantage of...

    Forever Grateful

    Kim and her team of stylists made myself and the ladies I love feel like queens on my wedding day! I cannot thank them enough! I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life as I did that day and the rest of my party said the same. Not only did you guys get all of us done in good time but our hair and makeup was on point!!! We could walk with confidence and our outward beauty showing our inward beauty! And above all else you all were warm, welcoming and fun! The talent within you and those you have added to your team is outstanding! I wish I had a more exciting life and could have...

    Would recommend to my best friend

    I had the best experience with Kim, who did my makeup for my wedding in April. Not only is she extremely talented and professional, but Kim is very kind and easy to talk to. I was extremely lucky to find her just a few weeks before my big day.

    When I visited Kim for my trial, we tried a few different looks. I wasn't really sure how I saw myself as a bride. Kim worked with me to find a look that really felt like me but more glamorous. She wanted me to be happy with the result and was more than willing to try different things to get me there.

    A week before my wedding...

    Kim made me look 20 years younger!

    I’m in my mid 50s and Kim made me look 25!
    Kim is simple the BEST! She did my make-up for my wedding on Winter Solstice and it was exactly what my vision was for my look. She is so incredibly skilled. I have serious lymphedema from breast cancer and she really helped make my arms look symmetrical.
    I will only use Kim and To Make Beautiful for all my skin care and make up needs!

    We had an outstanding experience with Kim and her team. Jennifer and Phaleen did the makeup for our wedding on May 27, 2017 at the Hawthorne Hotel. Everyone looked stunning! Not only did all of the bridesmaids look beautiful, but each of their looks fit them perfectly. Jennifer and Phaleen were a pleasure to spend the day with. Jennifer did my makeup trial, and my mom's makeup trial, and 100% understood the look I was going for. Kim is wonderful. I went to her for facials and eyebrow waxing before our wedding. To Make Beautiful treats their brides like queens! I could not be happier with the service provided by Kim and her team.

    Excellent in every way!

    Kim is amazing! I had the hardest time finding a studio that would let me come in in person to get makeup done on the wedding day. I also had the hardest time finding someone who was willing to do a solo bride without a bridal party! Kim was absolutely amazing and accommodated both of these items. Her work was absolutely flawless and my makeup held up through a hotter-than-expected summer day and a wedding filled with many activities! I got so many compliments on my makeup and it really felt like an elevated version of me. I have very dry skin and am never able to apply foundation on my own without it looking weird, but Kim made...

    Fabulous Company

    To Make Beautiful was amazing. We had another vendor cancel within a month of the wedding. I reached out to make beautiful and they responded immediately and was happy to help. The communication was on spot as well as they say of the wedding their team was calming and worked with all the wedding parties different ideas. I cannot wait for our next function to hire them again.

    Kim was absolutely amazing to work with. My mom and I both got makeup trials done and I was super nervous because I had been having skin sensitivities and breaking out in hives. Not only did she work with my skin to make it look great even when it was flaking off but she gave me a product sample to try leading up to the wedding that I love and buy al the time now. On wedding day she was so fun and high energy. She made me feel so beautiful and my bridesmaids were all so pleased with their makeup

    Speechless

    Kim is AMAZING. Kim did the makeup for my best friend’s wedding and did an absolutely phenomenal job. A few months later, we ran into her at brunch and she didn’t miss a beat. She recognized my friend and stopped by our table to visit. When it came time to book an artist for my wedding, without hesitation, I called Kim. I chose not to do a trial because I knew what I wanted and I knew her work is flawless. She made the decision whole process so easy and she is so personable. On the day of, she matched each person’s makeup to their personality and everyone looked GORGEOUS! Her website is easy to navigate, her prices are clear and worth every penny. I would recommend her over and over without hesitation. Thank you again Kim!!

    Amazing for all the wedding events!

    Kim is absolutely incredible and I'm so happy that I found her for my engagement photoshoot, bridal shower and wedding day! Kim is so nice, kind and responsive throughout the whole process and she makes sitting in the chair so fun. She knew the vibe I was going for for all my wedding events (bold and dramatic) and I have never felt better and more confident. Kim went above and beyond for me and my request for big and dramatic fake eyelashes and she found the perfect fake lashes. Her team is also incredible! Angela did my bridal shower hair and wedding hair and both turned out so beautiful, it stayed all day even in the humid rain that...

    Exceptional

    Kim and Taryn are absolute life savers! After having the worst experience ever at another salon. They so graciously took on my wedding party at the last minute and blew me away. My hair was exactly what I wanted and my make up was absolutely stunning. Their goal was to make me feel like a queen and they superseded my expectations. I was so overjoyed by their expertise and the final results that I cried “happy tears” looking in mirror. I HIGHLY recommend both Kim and Taryn to beautify you on your special day. You will not be disappointed!!! ❤️❤️
