    So thankful for Kerri!!

    Kerri is a true artist! She is thoughtful and detailed in the work she does. She made myself and all of my bridesmaids feel so comfortable and beautiful! Everyone looked stunning and like the best version of themselves. She takes time to really understand what each girl wants for their makeup and nails it every time. She was also excellent with mother-of-the-bride and mother-of-the-groom make up as well! Couldn't imagine doing the day with someone else!

    Beautiful, natural wedding glam!

    Finding and booking Kerri (before anyone else scooped her up on my wedding date!) was one of the best decisions I made throughout the wedding planning process. From the start, I could tell Kerri was extremely talented, professional, and exactly what I was looking for to achieve the “natural glam” bridal look I was going for. She was quick to reply to my emails and feedback, which I was very grateful for when juggling multiple vendors at once. On my wedding day, Kerri arrived on time and with an upbeat, yet extremely calming presence. She did makeup for my three bridesmaids, mother, sister-in-law, and me and everyone looked absolutely STUNNING. A few of my bridesmaids were initially a little nervous, as they’ve been unhappy with their bridesmaid glam in the past, but Kerri quickly put them at ease. Everyone looked, and more importantly felt, amazing! When it was my turn, I suddenly felt a wave of unexpected anxiety and nerves. Kerri immediately picked up on this and reassured me it’s very common for brides to get nervous at this point in the day (who knew!) She maintained a calming space around us by limiting distractions and background noise and encouraging a few deep breaths. I truly cannot thank her enough for this. Kerri was the real MVP of the glam process and I left her chair feeling like the most beautiful bride. I hope to get the chance to work with her again in the future! 10/10 recommend!

    Natural-looking, beautiful makeup

    Kerri is so incredibly talented. She did my and my six bridesmaids' makeup for my wedding. I chose Kerri because it was clear that she can not only create beautiful, bold looks, but that she can also keep the makeup light and natural. I don't wear a lot of makeup and was nervous about looking overdone, but Kerri did an excellent job and talked me through each step of the process, making sure that I was comfortable with the products and colors she was using. My bridesmaids loved Kerri--she felt like another friend in the room, and really did a wonderful job with everyone's makeup. My mother chose not to get her makeup done, but when Kerri gently suggested she could use a little more eyeshadow, my mother agreed and Kerri ended up quickly touching up my mom's eyes in a really beautiful way. She even put a bit of lipstick and eyeshadow on my curious three-year-old nephew! I highly recommend hiring Kerri--she's professional, responsive, and was such a positive energy on my wedding day!

    12 out of 10 – Kerri is the best!

    Kerri is the real deal. Not only is her work stunning, but she is also super professional and personable! Kerri was always quick to respond with clear and concise answers, which is highly appreciated when you are dealing with multiple vendors and hundreds of emails during the wedding planning process. Day of, she made me, and all of my bridal party feel gorgeous, including my grandmother who had never had her makeup done before and was a bit nervous. Kerri calmed her nerves and gave her such a beautiful and natural look – grandma is still talking about it today! My entire bridal party is still talking about how incredible Kerri was and how much they loved their makeup. I couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful, glamourous, but not overdone look for my wedding that lasted ALL night long. I can’t wait to work with Kerri again in the future – THANK YOU, Kerri!!

    Kerri is the best!

    Kerri was an absolute pleasure to work with and she made me, my bridesmaids and my mom all look gorgeous for my backyard wedding. I decided I wanted a more natural look, and Kerri made me look like a glowy, elevated version of myself without completely covering my skin. On top of being incredibly talented, Kerri is a total sweetheart. You'll wish the process took longer just so you could chat with her more.

    Do yourself a favor and book Kerri when you have the chance - she will go above and beyond to make sure you feel beautiful on your special day!

    Fantastic makeup artist!

    Kerri was fantastic! She was responsive and flexible right from the start. We ended up changing our timeline, location, and number of people - Kerri didn't bat an eye. She was fun to talk to and listened to what each person wanted. We don't typically wear makeup and what Kerri did was light and natural and stunning. I definitely recommend hiring Kerri!

    I knew I had to book Kerri for my wedding!

    Kerri did an absolutely INCREDIBLE job on my makeup for my engagement photo shoot! We did a long shoot with 2 outfit changes and location changes on a sunny, windy day in Newport and my makeup looked just as good at the end of the day as it did at the beginning. Kerri first did my makeup for Miss Teen MA and I fell in love with her work. I then booked her for my prom makeup, too. Even then I knew she HAD to do my wedding makeup. My mom actually booked Kerri for my wedding as soon as we had a date because we both love Kerri so much! She is so knowledgeable and thoughtful about every detail. She plays up your natural beauty. I usually don't even show her inspiration pictures, I just tell her what I'm wearing and she does makeup to perfectly compliment my look! She always makes me feel glamorous & fabulous. I cannot wait to work with her on my wedding day!

    Kerri is an absolute dream!

    There are truly not enough good things to say about Kerri. Kerri first did my makeup at my best friend's wedding in 2018. So when I got engaged in 2019, there was no question in my mind who to ask. Her makeup is flawless and so natural. She made all of my bridesmaids and my mom so comfortable and was so personable with each and everyone of them. Kerri treated me like one of her close friends and calmed my nerves while I was getting ready. She is a rockstar and she made me feel so incredibly beautiful on my wedding day. All my friends and I can't wait to host her at one of our houses for a makeup tutorial. Kerri is the absolute best.

    Amazing makeup artist!

    Kerri is absolutely amazing! I was looking for a makeup artist who could give me and my bridesmaids a soft and natural look. Kerri is so easy to work with and everyone loved their makeup!

    Everyone NEEDS a Kerri

    Kerri is the ABSOLUTE best! Upon first glance of her Instagram (her gorgeous makeup mixed with her love of all things spooky along with her insanely cute pup – both of which are right up my alley), I knew I wanted her to be part of my big day. When originally reaching out regarding a trial, she was extremely understanding of my anxiety about having a trial in the midst of a pandemic and focused on just my eyes while I wore a mask. Even with just having my eyes done, I left that day knowing I had to lock her in for the wedding. Fast forward to the day of the wedding, Kerri made my bridesmaids, both my mother & mother in law along with myself, look and even more importantly, feel gorgeous. Kerri knew what to highlight on each of us so that we all looked like an enhanced version of ourselves. I cannot tell you how many compliments I personally received about my makeup! I would absolutely have Kerri do my makeup again (and she will be for my best friend’s upcoming wedding in September!) – she is so easy going, personable, professional and excellent at what she does.

    Excellent work!!

    Kerri was absolutely awesome! She came highly recommended from not only our venue but also a co-worker. She was amazing with communicating - always speedy to reply whether it was a text or email. She was always very accommodating with any last minute changes. On the day of the wedding, she showed up with plenty of time. She finished in what seemed to be no time at all. She was very friendly and personable with all the girls and moms. I would recommend Kerri to anyone that needs a makeup artist!

    Kerri is the best!

    Kerri was absolutely wonderful throughout this entire experience. She was so easy to communicate with and always to quick to respond. I did a trial with her, which was so much fun and so relaxed. She really listened to what I wanted and explained her thought process and did a beautiful job. The day of, she was such a kind, calming presence. She did an amazing job on my 6 bridesmaids as well, listening to what they wanted and tailoring the makeup to them. They were all so happy with it, and had nothing but wonderful things to say. My makeup was stunning and flawless and lasted the whole night. I looked exactly the way I wanted, and could not have been happier with Kerri or had a better experience!

    Kerri was wonderful!

    Kerri was so wonderful to work with! She is so sweet and brought such positive energy to my wedding morning. All my bridesmaids loved talking with her and everyone was so pleased with how their makeup came out! We got married on the hottest day of the summer, but everyone's makeup held up and looked great despite the heat. Kerri was amazing and I highly recommend her!

    Kerri is Amazing!

    Kerri did the makeup for my bridal party and we couldn't have been happier. Not only did everyone's makeup look amazing, Kerri really listened to what each person wanted, provided guidance and advice when someone wasn't sure what they wanted, and make sure everyone was happy with their looks. We all had different styles and different comfort levels in terms of wanting a bold or natural look, and Keri nailed all of them. We also had the best time hanging out with her, and it was like having another friend in the room with us. I highly recommend her!

    She's amazing!

    Having an amazing makeup artist was really important to me on my wedding day. I did a lot of research and am so happy I found Kerri. She had reasonable prices and her work was amazing. She is also so fun to hang out with and works fast while doing a perfect job, which is important on the wedding day when there's so much to do. I definitely recommend her!

    This girl is a goddess!

    Kerri is fantastic! I don’t wear a ton of make up and I’m not comfortable wearing heavy make up which has made it difficult for me to get my make up done professionally in the past, but not with Kerri! She does a great job of applying the make up with care and makes it look completely natural. Kerri is funny and made me feel at ease on my wedding day. She has the bride be alone while applying her make up to allow time to decompress and relax.. which worked out perfectly for me and my nerves. I highly recommend Kerri and will definitely use her again in the future!

    Kerri rocks! So great to work with

    I love Kerri! Although she is mostly known for her AMAZING natural beauty looks, she was definitely up for doing a bit more drama for my big day. I felt so beautiful and just like myself but glammed up for the big day. Kerri is so fun and funny and she made me feel so at ease from the trial to the wedding day. I am so glad a friend recommended her because I couldn't have asked for a better wedding makeup artist!

    Amazing!! professional and very talented!

    She was amazing! Kerri did my wedding make up. I don’t wear much make up and wanted to make sure I still looked like myself. Kerri was perfect! She did an awesome job and all my bridesmaids loved her as well (proving she can do it all!)! I was beyond happy and highly recommended her for whatever occasion. Thank you Kerri!

    Changed my view of using makeup!

    I'm so glad I found Kerri to do the makeup for my bridesmaids and me. I don't usually wear makeup and often don't feel like I still look like myself when I do. But the way Kerri did my makeup made me feel so beautiful that day that I'm actually much more open to using it than before. I don't know how she did it, but she did it quickly and did it well. My makeup lasted all day, even through all the happy tears. She's also just fun to be around! I would highly recommend Kerri for anyone who is looking for a natural, classic look.

    Kerri is Awesome!

    Kerri made me, my mom, and my maid of honor look so beautiful for my wedding day. She was also so responsive leading up to the day, and was so cool in person. My makeup lasted through 10 hours that included tears, and it still looked beautiful at the end of the night. I highly recommend hiring her!

    Kerri is the best!

    Working with Kerri was such an absolute pleasure and I'm so happy to have had her help on my wedding day! She was so wonderful throughout the entire process - from booking to my trial all the way through wedding day. She was SUCH a calming presence on wedding day and all nine of us who got our makeup done with Kerri absolutely LOVED the way we looked, thanks to her! My makeup lasted perfectly all night long and looked amazing in pictures. And the best part was - I looked like myself, just WAY elevated :) would highly recommend - thanks again, Kerri!

    Makeup Mastery

    Kerri Herlihy is beyond talented in making the bride and her girls feel special during the getting ready process. And then what she does to keep everyone looking like themselves with a magical and fairytale level of beauty is spectacular! Kerri enhanced our wedding experience and I wouldn't have wanted to be in anyone else's chair for my wedding day. As soon as you book your ceremony and reception then your next call needs to be to Kerri, mine was!

    Kerri is a true professional that will make you look like the best version of yourself! Kerri was recommended to me from another vendor who has worked with her in the past, and she did not disappoint. My makeup was stunning but still looked natural, and it photographed perfectly. My bridal party was also thrilled with how theirs looked! Kerri was incredibly responsive throughout the planning process, a joy to be around, and even showed up early on the wedding day. Incredible makeup and experience!
