Kelly was incredible from start to finish! I was left without a make up artist 4 weeks before my wedding and Kelly stepped in. We had a trial where Kelly really listened to what I wanted and created the look perfectly. On the day, Kelly made the morning so relaxed and all the girls had a great time. There were reports of bad traffic on the morning of my wedding and to make sure she was there on time, Kelly booked a hotel near the venue the night before the wedding to ensure she was there for us all. I really couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you Kelly! Xxx.

I got married last year and Kelly did my makeup, my two bridesmaids makeup, my mums, aunts and mother in laws all of which have very different complexions and tastes and she made us all look wonderful with ease! She was very professional and the make up lasted so well even with all night dancing! Would definitely recommend, a five star service. Thank you so much xx.

Kelly did the makeup for me, my mum and my 3 sisters for my wedding in September at Gosfield Hall. Kelly was so relaxed and organised on the day that she made us all feel relaxed too. She was a pleasure to have with us all morning and her makeup was perfect. We all asked for a natural style (as none of us are big makeup wearers) and Kelly tailored the makeup to all of us individually and we were all very happy. Kelly was also super helpful in other ways too as I was panicking slightly with my dress towards the end of the preparations and Kelly stepped in and helped and was so calm and helpful; I am so grateful she was there and cannot thank her enough. I would thoroughly recommend Kelly! Thank you again!

I can’t thank Kelly enough! I have dark circles around my eyes and my mom hasn’t worn make up ever, but Kelly was so helpful and professional and made us feel at ease and very beautiful. We absolutely loved it. Thank you so much Kelly x.

Thank you so much Kelly for doing such an incredible job of my wedding makeup on 8th June! My experience with Kelly was outstanding from the first time I contacted her to now! Kelly got back to me quickly and kept in communication with me. At our (mine, mum and mother-in-law) trial, Kelly did an amazing job - she listened to what we wanted, took this on board and created beautiful, natural looks for us all. From this moment, I knew I had made the right decision to choose Kelly to be our makeup artist! On my wedding day, Kelly made me, my mum, mother-in-law and bridesmaids all feel and look beautiful! We received so many compliments throughout the day, especially as our makeup lasted so well! I was so pleased with the natural look Kelly gave me and with the fact that my strip lashes also lasted several days of my honeymoon following our wedding day! I was also so pleased with everyone else's makeup that Kelly did, it was absolutely perfect! I know mum had a bit of a wobble prior to the wedding about her makeup, but Kelly listened to her concerns and adapted the makeup so that it was absolutely perfect for mum. Kelly also created such a calm and relaxed atmosphere on the morning of the wedding - we were all very grateful for that! Kelly is an amazing make up artist - she is so professional, listens to what you would like to create and is so talented! I really hope that Kelly will be able to do my makeup again soon! Thank you Kelly!.Moreexpand_more

Hi Kelly. Thank you so much for helping myself, my mum and my bridesmaids on my wedding day. You made my mum feel so special as she doesn't usually wear make-up and really contributed to her enjoying the day even more. Right from the start I knew I wanted a natural look, but my eyes more defined and that it would be guaranteed to last throughout the entire day. The airbase, airbrush make-up was fantastic and flawless, it felt like I wasn't even wearing any make-up. From the first point of contact, right through to the day, you were so friendly and easy to talk to which made the whole morning feel so much more relaxed. You and Dawn both created such a lovely atmosphere on the morning of my wedding, making us all feel at ease. When I receive Stacey's professional photos I will send some over. Thank you again Kelly for everything. Love Claire Turner-Gold (31/05/2019) xx.

Kelly came to do mine, my mums and sisters makeup for my wedding. None of us are used to wearing a lot of makeup like this so we were a bit nervous especially my mum who was really worried but kelly was lovely she made us feel completely at ease and done an amazing job. We were all really happy and the make up lasted the day and everyone commented on how nice my make up was. Would definatley recommend kelly!

Everything about the service offered by Kelly Hollands was professional and easy. The trial went well and she put me at my ease instantly, having never had my make-up done before like that and she knew her stuff! This was for my wedding, so it had to be right. I left excited for the big day. On the day itself she was prompt and made us all feel at ease and in the hands of a true pro. We all looked fab! An excellent and highly recommended service for any bride to be or whatever the special occasion! This is a photo of me and my two bridesmaids (I am in the middle) before we got our dresses on!

Kelly recently did my makeup on my Wedding Day and I was really pleased with it. Me and my bridesmaids all had airbrush and Kelly did a fantastic job. I had a younger bridesmaid of 12, so age appropriate was key and Kelly did amazing- exactly what we wanted. Kelly was really friendly, helpful and accommodating leading up to the wedding and on the day itself. I would highly recommend her. Thanks Kelly.

Kelly did the make up for me, my mum and 3 bridesmaids at the end of July. Right from my initial contact through to our trial and my big day she was amazing and professiinal throughout. The make up was fantastic and we all received great comments. We all went for airbrushing and it even upheld on the hottest day of the year. I would definitely recommend Kelly for anyone thinking about using a make up artist for for your big day or just a special occasion.

Kelly did the make up for me and my 5 bridesmaids at my wedding this August. She took all my suggestions into consideration, whilst using her professional opinion to suggest enhancements or improvements. I was so pleased with the final results; my bridesmaids all looked beautiful and I received lots of compliments about my make up on the big day! Kelly is highly professional but also very friendly. Highly recommend!

Kelly was amazing throughout the entire planning journey from first contact, through the trial, and right up to the wedding day! Her communication was great at all times and she is just lovely, friendly and makes you feel so at ease! The makeup was perfect, exactly what I asked for! The bridesmaids kept theirs on even through the wedding night and woke up in the morning as if it had only just been applied! Cannot recommend her enough!

Kelly came and did my wedding make up including MOTB and bridesmaids this June - most of us had never had our make up done professionally before and weren't big make up wearers usually - Kelly was brilliant! She put us all at ease and understood the natural look we were aiming for. Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend Kelly Hollands highly enough! Right from our trial, Kelly was professional, friendly and put me completely at ease and I knew that I was in the best hands for my special day. She asked lots of questions about exactly what we wanted and insisted that she wouldn't leave until we was all 100% happy. I never felt like she was in a rush to get the job done, but instead she wanted it to be absolutely perfect for us. Kelly was always very quick to reply to emails and so accommodating with any changes or questions I had. Shortly after the trial I also booked Kelly to do my make-up for a Christmas night out at very short notice. Even then, she did her absolute best to book me in and make me feel amazing! Having already met Kelly twice before I felt instantly at ease when she arrived on the big day as it was another friendly face! Kelly chatted lots and genuinely seemed so excited for my special day. She calmed me and talked it through when I was feeling (VERY) nervous and even offered the use of her personal camera so we could take pictures of our preparations! I couldn't have been happier with my make up that day, I felt amazing and everyone complimented me on her stunning work. I would recommend Kelly to any future brides and I will most definitely be calling on her services in the future for special events and nights out! Everyone needs a Kelly Hollands in their life. Wish I could have her for my make up routine everyday! Thank you so much Kelly. You're amazing at what you do. Louise Payne x.Moreexpand_more

Kelly had previously done my wedding make up 4 years ago and I was so happy then that I booked her again this time for my brothers wedding, and again she didn’t disappoint. Alongside my mum and my sister she did all our make up and made us feel at ease. She was friendly and chatty yet professional. People commented on the day about how good our make up and eye lashes looked. The make up stayed on all day despite the hot weather and I would definetly recommend the air base make up it looked flawless.

Kelly was recommended to me. I loved my wedding trial. She put me at ease, was friendly and very professional. She took detailed notes of what she had done which gave me so much confidence for my wedding day. I got married on 04. 11. 17 and I had the airbrush makeup on the day and for brides I really recommend it. It feels so light and lasts perfectly all day (even with the odd tear of joy! ) Kelly also did makeup for my 3 bridesmaids who looked stunning! I can’t recomend Kelly enough. She is so talented and a really genuine person.Moreexpand_more

Kelly's organised, practical, calm and kind approach to her work enabled me, as the bride, my mum and my bridesmaids to feel relaxed and happy during the morning of my wedding. Her flexible manner allows you to freely discuss your needs for your special day. Many of our female wedding guests commented on how great the bridal group's makeup looked throughout the whole of our wedding day. Kelly would always be my preferred makeup artist.

Having my wedding make-up done by Kelly was definitely one of my wedding highlights. I am not a huge make-up wearer and therefore wasn't able to give her much of a brief, but she really got it right and enhanced the natural look to give a wow factor for the day, I received lots of compliments! She was professional to deal with in the run-up and a lovely calming influence to have around in the chaos of the wedding morning. I would highly recommend Kelly's for any bride!

Kelly did the makeup for my wedding in July for myself, my mum, mother in law and 2 bridesmaids. From the first email Kelly was professional and easy to deal with. Her friendly personality means she is pleasure to have around on the morning of the wedding and did an amazing job on all of our make-up. She really listened to what we all wanted and our make-up last all day! I highly recommend Kelly to anyone getting married.

Kelly did the makeup for my wedding in June for myself, mother in law and 2 bridesmaids. From the moment I met Kelly I was reassured that the makeup on the day of the wedding would be lovely. I was a bit concerned about being too done up and not looking like myself on the wedding day however Kelly has a very natural style and brings out your best in the make up she does. Everyone was thrilled with their makeup and it lasted all day. I would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone getting married.
