Myself and everyone else who had their hair and makeup done were very happy with the end product! My skin didn’t look cakey at all and they both nailed the look I was going for. Not only are Jordan and Sam extremely talented, they are also kind and accommodating people. It was so nice sitting and chatting with both of them for my trial and on my wedding day. When I sat down in Jordan’s chair to get my makeup done, it felt like catching up with an old friend. If I didn’t live on the other side of Michigan, I would DEFINITELY want to be friends with them. They truly are nice, talented people and I am so happy I booked them. They were definitely my favorite vendor to have and work with for our wedding. Thank you Jordan & Sam! 3 P.S. the look held up all night and they even supplied a cute touch up kit for everyone!

Hi, I'm Danielle, I have been doing makeup for over 20 years! We are traveling, licensed and insured, professional makeup artists servicing Illinois and Indiana with prices starting at $80! Traveling Makeup Artists Specializing in Regular/Airbrushing, Bridal, and FX/Tattoo Coverage Makeup.

I loved how my girls and I looked on the day! Stunning work! However, I would just feel bad for future brides if I didn’t share that you need to be 100% on your timeline and # of people before you book. It is not an advantage to book early with them. Ended up paying about 6 services more than I used because of changes. I added a 4th artist and was totally fine with that fee her making a min of 5 services while keeping pay for all other artists as is, just bit the cost because that makes sense. However, my original contract with the owner had herself doing 5 people. When we added a second artist she was doing 4 but being paid for 5 to honor original contract. When going back to 5 she wanted me to pay again for that person, even though technically she was already being paid for 5 services and she was going to do 5 services…

I aim to maintain a standard of excellence with my clients when it comes to proper makeup application, customer service, communication and knowledge about makeup & skincare.

Charisse K was professional from beginning to end. It was easy to setup my makeup appointment for my wedding online. It was a two part appointment, one to test my wedding day makeup and the second was on the day of my wedding. At the first test appointment we discussed my look and colors and she was GREAT! I requested one change to my eye makeup and she delivered! On the day of my wedding she arrived early and set up with her chair, makeup and lights. She was efficient and pleasant to work with. She did my sisters makeup first and then mine all while working around my photographer who came to take photos. I have continued to use Charisse K for future events when I needed my makeup professionally done. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. If you want to ensure your makeup is done right, book with Charisse and you can relax knowing it will be done.
