Beautiful Inside and Out
Kelli and her team were amazing to work with and helped us navigate some unique circumstances in feeling completely bridal-ready. Her patience, empathy and openness made her the perfect fit for us. Additionally, her artistry, fantastic eye for color, and knack for subtlety made us feel like perfectly enhanced versions of ourselves - but still very much ourselves, which was so important to us. We love that she uses natural products, and our skin felt so glowy even after the big day! I highly recommend doing a trial with Kelli and her team - it made for a much easier day-of and we went in feeling confident that we would look like goddesses. We opted to use her studio space in downtown Portland for getting ready, which comfortably accommodated our moms and bridal party for the morning. Thanks for your amazing work and emotional support, Kelli!

Hire Kelli to look like the best version of yourself!
I chose to hire Kelli to do my bridal look because I really trusted her to help me look like the best, hottest version of myself - and did she deliver! Kelli’s focus on natural skincare and clean make up was one of the main reasons I chose to go with her team. The products truly feel like part of your skin, which made me feel so comfortable and confident. I really appreciate her attention to detail and ability to adjust anything if there was a detail that wasn’t right. Cate, her hair stylist partner in crime, is also amazing and is the best hype girl! Plus my hair stayed all day, with no uncomfortable poking or pulling. They are such a fun crew and are so talented to achieve any look that you’re envisioning while also highlighting your own natural beauty. Highly recommend!!I chose to hire Kelli to do my bridal look because I really trusted her to help me look like the best, hottest version of myself - and did she deliver!

Professional, FUN people to work with!
I have had to reschedule my wedding, so I have only had my bridal trial yet with Kelli and Emily, but they were both so fun to work with and truly made me feel like a bride already! Kelli has been super accommodating during the new date selection process. I feel so lucky that I will get to have Kelli and Emily by my side for the newly scheduled big day!I have had to reschedule my wedding, so I have only had my bridal trial yet with Kelli and Emily, but they were both so fun to work with and truly made me feel like a bride already!

Couldn’t have bee next happier!
Where do I even start on my experience working with Kelli? I was an elopement bride from the east coast and found Kelli through social media. She was such a pleasure to work with from afar (and patient while I worked out scheduling specifics with my photographer), that I felt I was working with a friend before we’d ever met face to face. She arrived early morning (6:15am to be exact) and on time. She has cheerful, upbeat energy. She was a doll toward our dog that we brought along for our special day, she reviewed my preferences or “vision” while setting up, she was immaculately clean and sterile (thanks, COVID), and she absolutely NAILED my bridal makeup. I’m very particular, but it was perfection. I felt beautiful and confident and my groom loved that I look like a perfected, natural version of myself (He was actually concerned when he learned I was hiring a professional MUA). Kelli finished right on time and was packed up and outta there in a flash to keep the morning moving quickly so we could get to our venue. Even my photographer (@adventureinstead) loved Kelli’s work and demeanor so much they said they’d be adding her to their Portland vendor recommendations. My only disappointment is that I don’t live close enough to use Kelli’s esthetician services to maintain my skin.Where do I even start on my experience working with Kelli?

Amazing Experience
Kelli did my makeup for my wedding and I was beyond pleased with my experience from beginning to end! From the get go, Kelli was accommodating for me - just days before my wedding I needed to shift my appt time to be a little earlier in the day and she reassured me “she was there for me” and was able to accommodate my request. Kelli provided the most relaxing and supportive environment while she did my makeup and this set the tone for the rest of the day. She is a wealth of knowledge and her skills are amazing, my makeup was exactly how I wanted and it lasted the entire day and night. I have sensitive, acne prone skin and the quality of her makeup products actually made my skin feel better than it’s ever felt before. I was so pleased with my wedding makeup appt that I later returned to see Kelli for a skin consultation/makeup lesson. I feel so lucky to have had Kelli be a part of my wedding day and highly highly recommend her to anyone needing make up services, skin care services, and more!Kelli did my makeup for my wedding and I was beyond pleased with my experience from beginning to end!

Kelli Thomsen is awesome!
I loved working with Kelli and I am very grateful that our planner referred me to her! Honestly, I was nervous about working with a hair/makeup person, as it's not something I am accustomed to, but Kelli made it so fun and easy. She truly listens to what you want; combine that with her great intuition about your essence, and the result is a look that is the most beautiful version of you. Plus she is funny, kind, and totally committed to using high quality, natural, clean products. She even transformed my groom - who, until working with Kelli, would never have submitted to a facial treatment. Wonderful experiences both before and on our wedding day, and my husband and I have both been back to see her since; for skin treatments, makeup lessons, etc. Kelli is the best, would highly recommend!I loved working with Kelli and I am very grateful that our planner referred me to her!

Made us all feel awesome
We loved all the vendors we worked with on our wedding but Kelli and her team were some of the most relentlessly positive and accommodating people we had the pleasure of working with. Kelli is incredibly capable and I’ll get to that later, but for me, the most important thing she brought to our wedding day was her positivity. She made me and my bridesmaids feel amazing and super comfortable, even though none of us wear a lot of make-up normally. I was really happy with the way we all looked. Kelli was great about making sure she understood what I was aiming for and getting us on the same page. I also appreciated that she pushed me outside my comfort zone because she knows what photographs best. My biggest piece of advice for booking hair and make-up is that, more than your other vendors, you will spend a lot of time with them, especially if you have a big wedding party. Make sure you choose somebody who will get you feeling good about yourself and create the getting-ready experience that you’re looking for. Kelli definitely does that and I can’t recommend her enough.We loved all the vendors we worked with on our wedding but Kelli and her team were some of the most relentlessly positive and accommodating people we had the pleasure of working with.

Lovely human. Natural look!
Kelli Thomsen.
For someone that doesn’t wear makeup on a daily basis. I really was concerned about not looking myself on my own wedding day and so I planned to do my own makeup and hair. . The year prior to my wedding I got to know Kelli as my esthetician and through numerous pampering sessions we became friends. Through conversation, I decided that as a bride it would be really lovely to be pampered on my wedding day and have someone bring out my best hair and skin. Luckily Kelli was still available and she and her hairstylist Katy exceeded my expectations. My stepmom loved her hair and makeup as did our officiant. Kelli is such a lovely human and if you already have your hair and makeup booked.. You should at least go see her for an amazing facial.

Amazing wedding hair & makeup!
I chose Kelli after lengthy research for the right makeup artist. I am very particular about my makeup, and she worked with me to find a look I felt comfortable and confident in. I felt very much "myself but better." She also did great makeup on my mom, who doesn't wear much makeup. Her co-worker, Emily M., did my hair. She was patient and created my dream hair! Absolutely loved both of them!I chose Kelli after lengthy research for the right makeup artist.

I also appreciated Kelli's responsiveness and collaboration. I highly recommend her work.Kelli was the makeup artist for a wedding I worked in June 2022 (I was the coordinator). She did a great job!

Kelli was amazing. I don't wear a lot of makeup often, so I was worried that I wouldn't look like myself on my wedding day. I sent her photos of what I was looking for, and she surpassed all of my expectations. I was full of excitement and nerves and she was so kind and easy to talk to. My makeup was PERFECT. I had a morning wedding, and I still looked flawless when I was going to bed. I found her on Wedding Wire and feel so lucky that she was so amazing. Don't think twice, let her do your makeup!Kelli was amazing. I don't wear a lot of makeup often, so I was worried that I wouldn't look like myself on my wedding day.

How do you even start to say thank you to the person who had one of the most important jobs on your wedding date and blew your expectations? I think choosing who I wanted to do my makeup was by far the hardest choice to make. When I saw Kelli's work, I knew I wanted her to do my makeup. When I met Kelli, I knew I had made the right choice! Her energy was everything I needed on my wedding day, she just made me feel so much less stressed and had me laughing. All my bridesmaids adored her and her assistant. We all loved all makeup, even at the end of an extremely long day. I also got a facial prior to my wedding day and I will defiantly be going back to see her to care for my face.

Kelli not only did an amazing job on my hair and makeup at the wedding, she also helped me work out a lot of skin issues prior to the wedding at my pre-wedding facial that helped improve my skin dramatically before my wedding. After a huge scheduling glitch on my part, Kelli showed tremendous flexibility and professionalism and my wedding beauty services went off without any problems. All of my wedding party who used her services looked ravishing. It was the first makeup application I have ever had that truly "wowed" me. I plan to continue seeing Kelli for her many other skills and services long after my wedding! The amount of money we "spent" on Kelli listed below reflects services for several people besides me (the bride)Kelli not only did an amazing job on my hair and makeup at the wedding, she also helped me work out a lot of skin issues prior to the wedding at my pre-wedding facial that helped improve my skin dramatically before my wedding.

I loved working with Kelli for a natural look on our wedding day! From the trial to skin care to day-of hair and makeup, she was amazing. Kelli even helped me pick out the best hair extensions and taught me how to put them in so I can rock them post wedding.
She's open, honest, fun and very easy to talk to. My family and friends enjoyed her and her assistant very much. So glad she was my gal!I loved working with Kelli for a natural look on our wedding day! From the trial to skin care to day-of hair and makeup, she was amazing.

I was a bit stressed out when it came to selecting a vendor for my wedding makeup. I'm a very natural girl that doesn't typically wear much makeup and I was looking for a vendor that would work with me to develop a look that was glamorous without going over the top. I found Kelli during an extensive online search and found her website informative, inviting and, most importantly, reflective of my own style. I schedule an eyebrow wax appointment with her first, for an opportunity to get to know her feeling like I was "interviewing" her as a potential wedding vendor.
As soon as I walked into Kelli's studio and she introduced herself, I felt confident that I was working with a lady that not only knew what she was doing but LOVED her work. Kelli immediately made me feel as if we were long time girlfriends - she's super easy to talk to and I was totally at ease on her table as she got to work shaping my brows. It didn't take me long to decide that I was definitely going to work with Kelli for my big day. I met with her a few more times before the big day for more eyebrow shaping, an updo practice session, and a delightful facial. Each time I left feeling sparkly!
For the wedding - Kelli and her team of two assistants did an incredible job making me and the special ladies in my life look and feel like queens. I was absolutely smitten with the look Kelli pulled together for me - a bit vintage, a bit glam, with natural eye makeup and bold, merlot lips. I was thrilled with the products she used on me and have since bought some to use day-to-day. She totally captured my style and accentuated my features gorgeously.
Since the big day, I've been back to see Kelli for my eyebrows and I'll continue to see her for a wide range of services. She's easy and fun to work with and I'd recommend her for any brides that seek a natural look made with healthy products.I was a bit stressed out when it came to selecting a vendor for my wedding makeup.

I schedule an eyebrow wax appointment with her first, for an opportunity to get to know her feeling like I was "interviewing" her as a potential wedding vendor.
As soon as I walked into Kelli's studio and she introduced herself, I felt confident that I was working with a lady that not only knew what she was doing but LOVED her work. Kelli immediately made me feel as if we were long time girlfriends - she's super easy to talk to and I was totally at ease on her table as she got to work shaping my brows. It didn't take me long to decide that I was definitely going to work with Kelli for my big day. I met with her a few more times before the big day for more eyebrow shaping, an updo practice session, and a delightful facial. Each time I left feeling sparkly!
For the wedding - Kelli and her team of two assistants did an incredible job making me and the special ladies in my life look and feel like queens. I was absolutely smitten with the look Kelli pulled together for me - a bit vintage, a bit glam, with natural eye makeup and bold, merlot lips. I was thrilled with the products she used on me and have since bought some to use day-to-day. She totally captured my style and accentuated my features gorgeously.
Since the big day, I've been back to see Kelli for my eyebrows and I'll continue to see her for a wide range of services. She's easy and fun to work with and I'd recommend her for any brides that seek a natural look made with healthy products. -

I worked with Kelli for my wedding and she is wonderful! I got married in Hood River and had done a trial with a local makeup artist that just didn't go well. I decided to look in the Portland area, specifically for makeup artists who use natural products, and was lucky enough to stumble upon Kelli's site. I saw she had actually styled a shoot for the designer I bought my dress from and knew it was a perfect fit. We did a trial during the week before and she was very willing to work with my suggestions, and I'm pretty picky so that was much appreciated. On the day of the wedding she did my makeup, as well as that of the MOB and MOH, and we all looked gorgeous but with styles that suited us.
I also did a facial with Kelli the week before, which I highly recommend. She focused on hydration and smoothing, and even gave me samples for a face regimen leading up to the big day. My skin looked wonderful!I worked with Kelli for my wedding and she is wonderful! I got married in Hood River and had done a trial with a local makeup artist that just didn't go well.

Kelli is a rockstar! My goal was to be a step or two above my normal look and she made me look NATURAL and simply GLOWING! Not like you need more reason to be glowing than it's the fact that it's your wedding day, but she accentuated and totally translated how I felt and wanted to feel on the outside.
My consultations with her were so fun and she's so down to earth and cool. She's a perfectionist and i don't think you could ask for anything more than a fun and detail oriented person when it comes to handling your wedding makeup and hair. If you want to see what she did for my makeup and hair my pics are posted on my photographers blog Maya Dooley photography under "Tyler and Erica".
