Beauty has always been personal to me.

I’ve loved beauty for as long as I can remember, especially makeup. Growing up, my cousin Carolyn worked at the Estée Lauder counter in a department store, and I was always fascinated by her makeup, her products, and the transformations she could create. I was constantly playing with her makeup, and that early love eventually turned into something much bigger.

In 2010, I graduated from Blanche Macdonald with my Global Makeup Artistry Diploma and began building a career in the beauty industry.

I discovered my love for bridal makeup in 2019. After weddings and events opened back up following COVID, I dove fully into bridal artistry, and it quickly became the part of my career I felt most connected to.

There’s something incredibly special about being invited into a bride’s wedding morning. I love creating makeup that enhances who she already is — helping her feel polished, confident, beautiful, and still completely herself as she steps into one of the biggest days of her life.

And I’m still dreaming bigger. I’d love to continue growing into destination bridal work, travel for weddings, and one day work with incredible creators and recognizable faces around the world.

But success to me is about more than being busy. My goal is to build a thriving bridal business that allows me to spend my weekends doing work I genuinely love while creating more freedom during the week to be with my family.

For me, the dream is a beautiful career and a beautiful life — with room for both.


My Approach to Bridal Beauty

You should still look like you — just on your very best day.

I believe bridal makeup should enhance your features, not cover them up.

Every look is customized to your skin, features, personal style and wedding vision, with a focus on radiant skin, thoughtful details and makeup that looks just as beautiful in person as it does in photographs.

But the experience matters just as much as the makeup. I want you to feel comfortable, cared for and completely confident in your look before you ever walk down the aisle.

PERSONAL • POLISHED • TIMELESS


A Little More About Kailey

WHEN I'M NOT HOLDING A MAKEUP BRUSH...

I’m a boy mom, wife, dog mom to a Frenchie x Bully, and roommate to two cats who definitely believe they own the house.

When I’m not doing makeup, you’ll usually find me behind the chair as a hairstylist specializing in blondes and dimensional brunettes, creating content and reels, or getting completely lost in a book (or, more realistically, an audiobook).

I love spending time with my girlfriends, going out for dinner, finding the best gluten-free eats, catching a movie, and soaking up time with my family.

Basically, beauty is a huge part of my life — but it’s definitely not the whole story.


Let’s create something beautiful.

Your wedding morning deserves to feel just as special as the beauty we create together.
