5 star makeup artist!

I am so happy I chose Kim for my wedding! She was super amazing to work with and very sweet. I would recommend her to anyone. After the consultation, I knew that I wanted Kim to be the makeup artist for our wedding. Kim was very knowledgeable about skin care and upkeep, as well as with airbrush makeup. She was able to help my dream of a whimsical style like Pokémon mew come to life. I would not have chosen anyone else on my big day!

We had our wedding in Maine, and I flew Kim out to Maine to do the makeup for myself and my girls. Even with a few hiccups from the coordinator, Kim always was very professional, on time (If not earlier), and had timeliness. My makeup along with all of my bridesmaids held up all day and even through the night. She also packs you a care kit in case you need any touch ups through the day.

I cannot recommend Kim enough! If the price is out of your budget make sure to talk with her about where you are and how you feel!

Amazing Experience, Professional Work!

Kim, of About Face MakeUp Artistry, is incredible! I first witnessed her work at a dear friend's wedding last October, and while I had planned to do my own makeup for my upcoming June wedding, I knew I had to see if she was available. It was hands down the best choice! She is so easy to be around. Her attention to detail, patience, and desire to have you feeling your best is unparalleled! If you're feeling worried about "not looking like yourself" or simply searching for someone who will make your wedding day easier, this is the person to go to! I can't recommend her and her team enough. Thank you again for memories that will last a life time.

Simply Amazing!

I met Kim at a bridal vendor event and was very impressed by her personality and body of work. As someone who never wears make-up, I was afraid that I may not recognize myself. But, after completing the initial trial, I was blown away! Kim made me and my bride tribe look absolutely stunning!
