What Kelly’s Clients Are Saying:

Kelly was the absolute BEST! My makeup for my wedding day was everything and anything I could have dreamed of. And every one of my bridesmaids could not stop talking about how much they loved their makeup! She was on time, and very professional. Also she was an absolute blast to be around. We all had so much fun with her:) 100% reccommend!!!

Client Review: 

Great attitude, responsive preparation, easy to work with, all around fabulous person, Kelly brought great energy to our bridal party morning preparation. The other key is how well connected she is -- the second artist she brought for our party was also excellent and similarly did a fantastic job. Our looks were subtly glam, but clean accentuated versions of ourselves.

I'll note also that my trial and my day of makeup were different. My trial look was sweet, but not quite what I envisioned. Kelly was open to feedback the entire process - she was understanding and really partnered in the makeup process with me. I sent more looks that I love and she absolutely NAILED it on my wedding day.

Can't emphasize enough how much of a vibe she is. Thanks for everything Kelly!

Client Review: 

I was so grateful to work with Kelly on my wedding day! She made me feel comfortable at a time I was so full of nerves. She didn't rush but her experience allowed her to do the makeup in a reasonable time frame. I rarely wear makeup but she helped me make decisions regarding the details and I couldn't be happier with the end result! I felt like the most beautiful version of myself on my special day and I couldn't believe how amazing I looked in photos and throughout the day. It was a long day full of emotions but my makeup still looked the same at the end of the night; that is to say incredible! Many thanks to Kelly and if you choose her to do your makeup you will not be disappointed!!! -LH

Kelly was absolutely amazing! From the bridal trial to the big day she made everything easy, stress free and fun. She is extremely knowledgeable about all things skincare and makeup and made me and my bridesmaids feel so special and beautiful. Thank you Kelly - you are the best! I highly recommend

Client Review:

If you are looking for a bridal makeup artist or for any special event, Kelly is the best there is. Kelly is the nicest person I’ve ever met, with her background in social work she will put the most anxious bride at ease and make her look flawless for her big day. The makeup trial look lasted 12+ hours, trust me I put it through the ringer on the treadmill to test it and it still looked amazing even sweaty, so if you have a hot summer wedding you can trust her application. Kelly replicated the trial look exactly on the wedding day, she made me look amazing while still looking like me. The individual lashes she used looked so natural and customized to my eyes. Kelly is a joy and I hope you get to meet her!

Client Review:

I decided to book an instructional and shopping appointment with Kelly. At 41 years young, I felt my look was getting stale but didn’t want to watch a tutorial on YouTube or go to the local department store beauty counter. I had been following Kelly’s social media account, which clearly showed her ability to work with all ages and various skin types. Also she travels to continue her education and stay updated on trends. She was extremely quick in responding and fitting me into her busy schedule. The shopping experience was the best, she listened to my opinion and preferences but also gave me some suggestions to get out of my comfort zone. She customized a daily look for me but also showed how to easily tweak it for a date night with my husband or the occasional formal event. She was very patient and went slow so I could replicate her techniques on my own. It was an amazing experience and I am so glad I did it! Do not hesitate to book an appointment with her, not only will you love how you look but she will entertain you with her witty banter the entire time!

Kelly was recommended to me to do the makeup for my wedding, and she was absolutely amazing to work with! I’ve never had my makeup done professionally before and I was a little nervous beforehand, but Kelly did such an awesome job making me feel comfortable, and beautiful! She was so much fun to work with, and all the girls in my bridal party looked stunning. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist for their wedding! 

- Liz 

I am so lucky to have such a talented friend! Kelly does amazing work and made my whole bridal party look STUNNING! As a former fellow social worker she has a real knack for talking to and listening to each individual client, brings lots of fun and laughs AND while making you beautiful she also always has the right words to calm any wedding day jitters! She’s such a talented and genuine person and you can tell that she truly loves what she does. I’m so glad I chose Kelly to do my wedding day makeup 💕

-Erin D

Kelly made getting ready for my wedding seem like a party in itself. I was the kind of bride that planned practically every little detail, so by the time the day came I felt like I was hobbling to the finish line and I'm sure I looked it. But Kelly made me look and feel more beautiful than I can ever recall. My wedding party and I were all in the hotel room jamming out to music with Kelly while she was doing my makeup. We had fun conversations and by the time it was all done I honestly felt so much less stressed, it was amazing. I would definitely recommend her for any event you have based off her skill alone; her humor and kindness was just a wonderful added bonus. -Kristen

Kelly is an amazing makeup artist!! She was attentive, personable, and hilarious which really helped with my pre-photo shoot nerves. I had never had my makeup done professionally before and rarely use makeup, so I opted for a more natural look, which she totally nailed. I felt so confident and beautiful after my makeup session! You can tell she really cares about her work. I will definitely be using her again!

I had the pleasure of having Kelly apply my makeup for a very special occasion. She made me feel special and years younger.  Truly a wonderful experience. Hard to believe it was really me in the mirror! 

-DB

Kelly was my makeup artist for my wedding day and I and my wedding party were beyond pleased with her work. She’s so fun, personable and talented and made us all - from a 20 year old to an 80 year old - look and feel truly beautiful and *royal* for the big day. Kelly made sure to get to know everyone and understand their makeup wants and needs and delivered them perfectly, to last ALL night. I am so happy she was my and my bridal party’s makeup artist and would 110% recommend her to any and every bride! Thank you, Kelly!!

-Liz

Working with Kelly was so much fun. 

She made me and my bridesmaids look absolutely stunning on our wedding day. 

Not only is she extremely talented but 

she is also so passionate about her work. 

She is, what I would call, a makeup nerd 

and I love it. I would highly recommend 

her to anyone and everyone! 

-ML

Kelly was amazing! Not only did she make me feel and look like a queen, she made the morning of my wedding feel so much easier and relaxed! She matched everyone’s complexion in seconds and absolutely nailed the looks we were going for. We can’t thank her enough or recommend her high enough!!

-Rachel 

Kelly did our make up for my son’s wedding September 2nd.  She worked with three entirely different generations and she made each one of us beautiful but more importantly we felt beautiful!  16, 53 and 86 are very different canvases and each one of us could not have been more thrilled with the end result.  My older son is getting married Summer 2023 and I know who I will be contacting for makeup as soon as they pick their wedding date!  From the bottom of my heart I thank Kelly for completing our appearances for the wedding.  I love looking at all the pictures and seeing the confidence I felt that evening with my appearance and I have you to thank for that!  Thank you Kelly! ❤️

-Shelby

Client review: 

Kelly Ella Makeup was an absolute joy to work with for my wedding day. From our first interaction, Kelly was incredibly responsive, attentive, and accommodating, making me feel at ease throughout the entire process. Her communication style was kind and reassuring. The quality of her work was truly top-notch - she has an exceptional talent for enhancing natural beauty in the most elegant and flawless way. I've hired Kelly many times since my wedding for other events, and she never fails to make me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. I did a makeup lesson with her as well, which was fantastic and incredibly informative. Go hire Kelly Ella! She will make you feel the most beautiful you've ever felt and make you laugh while doing it. An all around wonderful woman!

Client review: 

What can I say about Kelly? Honestly, not enough! Kelly is friendly, funny, and so extremely talented. She had me in stitches laughing so hard.  With her you don’t just get an amazing makeup artist - she makes the whole experience joyful. You’ll laugh and have fun, and then by the time she’s finished you’ll be looking your absolute best too! She’s truly an artist at bringing out your best features. And she tailors to what you want so well - thinking something natural looking? She’s got you. Leaning towards a more dramatic look? No problem. Want to go full-on glam? Consider it done.  Personally I wanted a natural glam-ish look for a wedding I was going to and she really did exactly that. For someone who had a hard time seeing herself as pretty, l really did feel beautiful after Kelly was finished. She really has a gift.  If you need a makeup artist for anything at all - prom, wedding, any other special event, a random Monday, or just to treat yourself - Kelly is your best option.
