    Incredible!

    INCREDIBLE! Kelley is fast, she is thorough, and she can completely transform a face in like 30 minutes. She even took all the redness out of my husband (then fiance's) face like it was nothing. I worked with her 5 times (engagement trial, engagement, wedding trial, rehearsal dinner, and wedding) and she was awesome in all of them. Definitely use her!

    Kelley is amazing

    Kelley is a true artist and she is SO much fun to be around. Kelley did my make up and the make up of my close family/friends for my wedding. To say she is talented is an understatement. She is basically a make up goddess!
    I had Kelley do a few trial runs on me because I couldn't figure out how I wanted my make up to be for my wedding day, but she was so patient and made sure my make up was perfect. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and I owe that to Kelley.
    All of my friends and family adored her, as well. She has a great personality and gets along with everyone.
    I cannot recommend Kelley enough. She will bring so much beauty, confidence, and fun to your wedding day!

    Makeup perfection for your wedding day

    Kelley is amazingly talented when it comes to the art of makeup. My daughter followed her work on social media for months and when she reached out to her they had an instant connection. Our trial went amazing and she so wanted to hear feedback on anything we wanted different. The day of the wedding was spectacular and she did every bridesmaid MOB and MOG and ring-bearers Mom to perfection - but Michelle’s makeup - the bride was stunning and just enhanced her amazing beauty so perfectly. We even made her a little cold because us Moms were a little hot - and she worked through it. The icing on the cake she stayed at the church for touch ups after the ceremony because let’s just say a few of us knew we would be emotional (MOB moments).. Kelley was such a wonderful addition to our entire wedding day and we can’t say enough good things about her talents! She will definitely be recommended to many!

    Kelley is a pure goddess!

    If you and your girls are looking for a truly outstanding and professional make up artist for your wedding or any event, you would be foolish no to hire Kelley. Not only is she fun and kind, but she is the definition of talent and professionalism and will make all the women in your group feel like the most beautiful versions of themselves.

    Very Talented- Great to work with!

    So happy that Kelley did my makeup for my wedding! As someone who rarely wears any makeup I was worried about feeling like my makeup was too heavy or I wouldn't look like myself, but neither was the case with Kelley. I felt beautiful and very much like myself. I can't even count how many people came up to me and said what a beautiful job she did on my makeup. She was great to work with and Kelley and her assistant easily accommodate my wedding party of 9!

    Kelley was wonderful! She did a beautiful job with my makeup (bride), my bridesmaids, my mother and my mother in law. She really listened to me during the trial and worked hard to get the look I wanted. She was on time and when we ended up running a little behind schedule while getting ready, she did a great job making sure everyone was finished without skimping on their look. I was very happy with her!

    I have only met with Kelley for my trial so far but she did an AWESOME job! I went the morning of my engagement photos and she gave me the exact look I was going for - natural look with a gorgeous neutral smokey eye. I felt gorgeous! Her personality is wonderful and you can tell that she truly cares about her clients and takes pride in her work. I can't wait to see how I look on my wedding day!!!

    Kelley is so freaking talented. She was my dream makeup artist. She made our entire bridal party and myself look straight out of a magazine from her magical skills. If I had all the money in the world I would want Kelley to do my makeup every single day!!! Everyone was so impressed! And on top of it all, her personality is so awesome. She is so easy to talk to which makes getting your makeup done even more enjoyable. I can't recommend her more! Thanks, Kelley!!! You were a D R E A M to work with!

    I first met Kelley on a styled wedding shoot where she did my make up for the first time, and I absolutely loved it. It was just after I got engaged, and I got my first glimpse of myself as a “bride”. I knew then that I didn’t want any one else to touch my face on my wedding day. Kelley is so awesome, as a person and a professional make up artist. I loved my make up so much on my wedding day. It was gorgeous and lasted the entire night, while still looking and feeling natural. That was HUGE for me, and she nailed it. At my trial, we sat down and looked at tons of pictures of make up, comparing different looks and pulling together the look that had everything I wanted. Kelley talked me through the differences in airbrush vs traditional, and helped me choose which was best for me based on my skin type. On the big day, my MOH, mother, and mother-in-law and I were all so happy with our make up and everyone looked absolutely gorgeous!

    Kelley was great! She just completed the make-up for my wedding party this past Sunday, November 15, 2015. My mother-in-law and my mother's make-up was outstanding. My bridesmaids and myself looked wonderful. I felt like a beautiful bride. Kelley is great and her personality is outstanding, you will look and feel great if you book Kelly Unthank for your Make-up Consultant. We were extremely pleased and grateful. She will travel as she traveled all the way to Fredericksburg, Virginia from Bowie, Maryland.

    I loved working with Kelley!! I am not someone who typically wears a ton of make-up so I came into the process without knowing much about what I wanted and was a little worried I wouldn't feel comfortable with how I looked. Kelley was so reassuring and completely worked with the feedback that I gave her... and I ended up looking amazing! Everyone commented on how great my make-up was and I kept looking at my bridesmaids (who had all gotten their make-up done) and telling them how awesome they looked. Also, I felt that in general, Kelley had much more reasonable prices compared to others, and was an awesome person to work with (you end up spending quite a bit of time with your makeup artist), so, a great experience overall!

I feel like I became best friends with her bc she is so cool. And she does AMAZING work. Love you and thank you for making me stunning on my wedding day

    Kelley is AMAZING! We had an initial consultation and makeup trial a few months before the wedding and within a few words, she knew exactly the type of look I was going for. On my wedding day, she was on time and ready to go, I asked for " a fresh face and highlight the eyes" for myself and my girls and she knocked it out of the park in limited time. My ladies looked AMAZING!! Kelley accented all of their features and kept their looks classic. We started the day at 9AM and after the wedding we partied till almost 3AM, and our makeup NEVER smudged! We all looked flawless all day!! I highly recommend Kelley as a wedding makeup artist or any special event! Kelley was so nice, cared about the details and gave us advice while getting ready, she felt like an old friend who had our best interest at heart to make sure our day was one of the best! THANK YOU, KELLEY!!

    I have never felt prettier! All my bridesmaids smiled ear to ear when they got to see themselves in the mirror once Kelley was done. She was a joy to work with and was able to complete all of my bridesmaids (11) on time!! She's a rockstar!! And great at her job.

    What a wonderful and skilled make up artist Kelley is. I am so glad I found her. I am more than happy with the make up she did for my wedding, and I am pretty picky. She is also cool and fun. Excellence!!!

    Kelley did a great job on my makeup and my bridal party's makeup the day of the wedding. I met with her before the wedding to have a trial done. The trial makeup looked great, but she was able to make any changes I suggested on the day of the wedding. All my girls looked really great and the makeup def held up through the whole wedding. Thanks, Kelley!

    My sister found Kelley for me and I am so happy she did! Kelley is extremely talented did such a fabulous job on make up for my wedding (including mother of the bride and bridesmaids makeup)! She was very flexible-offering to come to my house or complete the trial at hers. Also, when hair was taking longer than expected on the wedding day-she easily adjusted the schedule to make sure she had ample time to complete everyone. She really listened to what I liked/didn't like from having professional makeup done in the past. She was extremely responsive to emails/calls/texts, arrived on time and managed to work in a pretty cramped hotel room with lots of visitors coming in and out. She has a great personality and is a total perfectionist-which you will appreciate day of! Day of makeup stayed perfectly in tact day of-just slight touch ups on lips. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Kelley and am so happy we found her!

    I booked Kelley for my wedding make-up and she was truly AMAZING!! She is so talented and professional I wish I could have her at my house everyday to make me look that spectacular! Everyone at the wedding commented on how georgous I looked. It was a hot day and she stayed with me to do touch ups after the outside pictures before the reception. I look absoutly flawless in all of my pictures! Anyone looking for a make up artist for ANY event should book Kelley without hesitation!

    I found her online and emailed her using the email address listed on her website. She responded almost immediately and she was able to work around my work schedule.

    Our make up for the day of the wedding was beautiful and our photos turned our amazing. I have already recommended her services to others.

    Kelley (and her assistant) were amazing. I was so pleased with her work during our trial that I was so excited to see her again and have my makeup done the day of the wedding. Just as I had expected, she was brilliant, even making my mother happy (who never wears makeup). Everyone looked wonderful and the fact that she was able to get myself, my mother, and 8 bridesmaids done to perfection in 4 hours was pretty admirable. The day couldn't have gone better and we couldn't have been happier.

    Kelley was by far one of the most talented makeup artists we talked to before booking with her. She knew so much about which products to use and what colors would go with my complexion and hair color, and her tips and knowledge about looks for my face shape was flawless. I felt AMAZING on my wedding day and I owe it all to her and my hair stylist (which she recommended).

    I did a trial run with Kelley about a month before the wedding and I loved it, in fact, I've booked her to do my wedding for one of my girlfriends weddings just because her work was THAT GOOD!

    I would recommend her highly to anyone looking for a fantastic makeup artist for their wedding (or any event for that matter).

    Thanks again Kelley!!

    Kelley came to me by way of her husband Ryan whose video company I hired to do the wedding video. I immediately loved how natural all the people on her website looked. My husband-to-be was scared that I would be unrecognizable on our wedding day. She did an amazing job! She balanced the classic and slightly glamorous look I wanted with my husband's desire to recognize me. At first I was nervous about the amount of wet and dry powder foundation she was putting on my face but I will tell you what --- It was 83 degrees during my wedding ceremony and I was sweating, really sweating. In my photos, you can't tell at all. I look perfect. On a nice spring day, I often appear shiny in photos (thanks T-zone) so this was a major success! She was also wonderful to work with. The only thing I will say is that I would estimate 75-90 minutes per person. We estimated only 60 minutes per person and ran over, which did make us late for departing for the venue.

    Kelley did an amazing job on my wedding makeup this past weekend! I am not someone who wears very much makeup, and I wanted to make sure I still looked like myself on my wedding day. After my initial consultation I was confident Kelley knew exactly what I wanted.

    The day of the wedding Kelley showed up at the hotel and did both my mother and I in the middle of all the craziness that was the bridal suite. She made sure I was happy with the final product and was more than willing to tweak anything I didn't love. She also gave me some pointers on how to keep the makeup looking great all day, which it did. I will definitely recommend Kelley in the future.
