Kellly Did An Amazing Job!

Kelly helped me with my November wedding and I couldn't have been happier with the job she did! I actually cried when I saw my makeup! I looked beautiful! I couldn't recommend her more!

Best Makeup Artist on the Outer Banks!

Kelly is the absolute best. She had done my makeup as a bridesmaid in 2019, so when it came time to plan my wedding, I knew I had to book her! She's incredibly detail-oriented and didn't let anything other than perfection leave her chair. My makeup came out exactly how I imagined, her consultations are thorough so she knows exactly what your vision is. I felt absolutely beautiful, and my makeup lasted all night long. 100000/10 would recommend for your special day!!

Make up artist for September 2023 wedding

Kelly was great to work with. Personable yet professional. I booked with OBXMUA at Lovie’s blind as we live in Illinois and were having a destination wedding. Everyone was wonderful and made me feel so beautiful!
