I was in search if a hair and makeup artist for a simple courthouse wedding. Most places wanted to charge full scale wedding prices, but Emily understood exactly what I wanted and worked with my budget. I am a makeup newbie and wear my hair down everyday, so I didn't have a good idea of what I wanted. I picked a simple updo style and asked for a natural look. Emily was able to do just that - my makeup looked so natural yet elegant, and my hair stayed in place even through some serious windy conditions outside! So thankful to have found Emily! read more

Emily Kim Makeup - Hair and makeup for a courthouse wedding - Makeup Artists Near Me

Emily was absolutely wonderful both in my trial and my wedding day! Not only did she make me feel absolutely beautiful, but she made my family shine with her work. A big plus was how well she got along with my Korean mother and helping her find the exact style of hair and makeup to match with her hanbok. She was always so attentive and fast at answers with email responses, incredibly professional while also personable and fun to talk to! I do not wear makeup at all in my day to day, and she made me feel beautiful without feeling like I didn't look like myself. I'm definitely going to reach out to her again with any future events I need to be dolled up for, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for MUA services! read more

Emily is great at makeup and responsive to emails. I did a trial with her and my actual wedding makeup. After the trial, I had specific points I wanted tweaked, which she took note of and was able to execute on the day of my wedding. I wanted a lighter tone of foundation, and she was able to use this special cream to make me look paler which was still natural. For hair, she was able to put a hair accessory in my hair which stayed in place the whole night. I received compliments about my makeup the whole night. I recommend her! read more

Highly recommend booking Emily for your hair and makeup services! I booked her for my wedding day. She also did my mom's hair and makeup AND my dad's light makeup. Emily is very nice, responsive, and professional. She was super easy to work with and was very flexible when I added on additional services. She really listens to feedback and actions on it. My mom is very particular when it comes to makeup and Emily patiently listened to her concerns and executed the look perfectly on the wedding day. I highly recommend booking trials for this reason. My hair and makeup got a lot of compliments throughout the day. I loved that I still looked like myself, just an elevated version. Emily was also great with my friends and family, which honestly is so important because your makeup artist is a huge part of your wedding morning. You don't want to hire someone with a negative vibe. I can totally see myself reaching out to Emily again if I ever need to get my hair and makeup done. She's amazing! read more

I couldn't be happier with the exceptional service provided by Emily for both my engagement photoshoot and wedding day. From the moment we began working together, she exhibited a level of professionalism and talent that immediately put me at ease. She listened to my vision and preferences, and the results were nothing short of stunning. On both occasions, my makeup and hair not only looked flawless but also stayed perfect throughout the day and night. This was a huge relief, especially on my wedding day when I wanted to look my absolute best from morning until the final dance. She also did hair and makeup for our moms on the day of the wedding and they both loved their hair and makeup as well. Emily also was able to put my hair up even though I had too many layers due to a haircut a couple of months before my wedding. She is magic! I can't thank Emily enough for her incredible work. She played a crucial role in making me feel like a princess on both of these special days. If you're looking for a talented and reliable artist, I highly recommend her services. Thank you for being a part of our journey! read more

Emily did my bridesmaids' makeup and hair for my wedding and my goodness it was amazing! One of my bridesmaid said that the makeup was better than her own wedding day makeup! Emily was on time and ready to work! She finished everyone's makeup and hair ahead of schedule which was great considering how crazy wedding schedules are. Throughout the process, she listened to each of my bridesmaids' request and made suggestions that best fit their facial structure and ideal look. The end process, flawless makeup and hair that stay on throughout the hot summer day/night and they looked amazing! Her friendly personality also made working with her super easy as we chatted the morning away!

Make up looked really nice and natural in the photos, which I like. She also didn't go crazy on the eyeshadow, which some MUA would do when they don't understand how to do makeup on asian eyelids. I highly recommend her service! read more

Wanted to get my makeup professionally done for my husbands' holiday party so I contacted Emily through Yelp. Prior to starting, I showed her a few pictures I liked and she was somehow able to recreate all three looks into one. I absolutely loved how everything came out! Emily was not only professional but also very personable. My hair and makeup took around 3 hours and the time went by really fast. I highly recommend booking Emily for your next event! read more

Thank you Emily! I'm very reluctant to have makeup applied because I'm not very familiar with it and I "feel" a certain clown syndrome. Emily clearly picked up my feelings and was professionally experienced interpreting what I needed: a way in between being the mother of the groom and a seventy six unconvinced customer! The results surprised me a lot and reconciled me with her profession ! Hahaha. I actually liked myself, the delicate shades on my eyes and soft tones on my skin. Good contrast with the right color on the eyebrows and the bright but not too red lips. Emily was also professional in her punctuality, the materials he brought for her job and the time she took to complete it. Obviously I highly recommend her. read more

Emily did such a great job with me and my mom's make up and hair for graduation! It was very easy to communicate with her and she made sure to choose the looks based on what we liked and what we were planning to wear. Her makeup technique is very professional, compare to other makeup artists I have hired before. Will definitely recommend Emily to anyone who's looking for some extra glam! read more

I had Emily do my hair and make up for me and my bridesmaids (and mothers) for my wedding day this weekend (12/07/19)! I met Emily at her home for a trial hair and make up session- she took her time with me and made sure to get a hair and make up look that I was happy with. The day before my wedding day- we had a last minute change of location of where we would get ready - and she was so immediate with responding and accomodated to this change! She and her assistant were so fun and pleasant as we all got ready and kept it fun and chill! i LOVED LOVED how my hair and make up turned out! even better than the trial and got SO many compliments!! My bridesmaids all loved their looks as well!!! She is amazing w/ both hair and make up and it was an absolutely wonderful experience! thank you so much Emily!!! read more

Emily Kim was wonderful to work with from the beginning, helping me consider options for my wedding hair/makeup, to the day of, executing 4 others' wedding hair/makeup plus my own! She is considerate and professional and thoughtfully helped me come up with a look that I felt beautiful and comfortable in. She answered all of my emails very promptly to answer each of my questions. She was very flexible with us on the wedding day, working with our schedule and unexpected obstacles. I am so happy with how my hair and makeup turned out, and it lasted into the night/next early morning even despite me going in and out of the rain! I definitely would recommend Emily to anyone looking for a makeup artist+hair stylist on their wedding day! read more

Emily did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup for the Emmy Awards. She responded to my appointment inquiry right away even though we live on opposite coasts and was very accommodating throughout the whole process. She came to my hotel with her professional kit that was fully stocked to get me red carpet ready. Emily applied eyelashes for the event at no additional charge and long wearing lipstick that actually lasted (for at least 5 hours) which was amazing. I would happily recommend her! Emily is talented and professional and was a pleasure to work with! I felt totally confident with my red carpet look and got lots of compliments. Thanks again Emily! read more

Emily did such an amazing job with my bridal make-up on my wedding day! She does beautiful work with her airbrushing techniques and made me look absolutely flawless for my big day! My make-up lasted so well throughout the whole day with minimal need for touch-ups even when it started to rain a bit at night. Throughout the process, she made sure I was okay with the color, shape of eyebrows, etc. and is super flexible on either making it more smokey or natural - depending on my liking. She listened carefully on my desires and would also give great tips on what she thinks would look nice on me. In addition to spending almost 3 hours with my make up and hair on my big day, she also offered trials to test out colors and walked me through some great skin care routines a month prior to my wedding! She is extremely kind, personable, and completes her tasks in a very professional manner. I had a great time working with her and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great make-up artist who is easy to talk to and would spend extra time making sure you look stunning for any event! Her prices are super fair/reasonable and service is definitely worth 5 stars with a final look can be put up against many make-up artists who charge a ridiculous amount, especially for brides!!! read more

I initially had a trial with another hair and make up artist and decided to try someone else as I was not in love with the first trial. That's when I met Emily. She knew exactly what I wanted and always made sure to check to see if I wanted to make any changes and really took her time to make sure I was 100% happy during my trail. The day of the wedding, Emily and her team were right on time to help with hair and make up for 8 bridesmaids, bride, moms and grandma. Not only did I feel beautiful and confidant- the make up stayed put all night with little to no touch ups. Thank you, Emily!!! read more

Emily Kim did my makeup when I was the maid of honor for my cousin's wedding. She made me look beautiful! She is very creative and detailed with her makeup artistry. She created a warm and romantic look with gold shimmery shadow and soft smokey eye. All the tones were blended well. I had gotten a blow out with soft curls. Emily pinned back two pieces to add elegance to my hair style. I would highly recommend Emily Kim for all your beauty services. read more

Emily Kim is AMAZING!!! She is professional, personable, timely, and detailed. All great traits of a makeup/hair artist you'd want on your special day. She did my make up when I was a bridesmaid and tailored the look to my natural style. I had lasting coverage (from 10am to midnight) and enough pop to make the look elegant but not over the top and out of character for me. She listened to my needs to make what could have been a stressful day, easy. She's also really fun to talk to. Highly recommend! read more

Emily did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup for a friend's wedding. She was hired by the bride to do makeup for the bridal party, bride's mother, and groom's mother. Before we got started, Emily asked what kind of look I was going for. I asked for a natural look since I'm not used to wearing a lot of makeup. I'm always worried about getting my makeup done because it usually ends up looking too dramatic for my liking, but that wasn't a problem at all with Emily. I didn't have any specific color palette in mind, but she was able to work with me to suggest a look that I was comfortable with. Emily was very thorough and precise in her makeup application. She was pretty quick too. I messed up my eye makeup a few times because I kept getting distracted and opening my eyes before I was supposed to, but she was really nice about it and just fixed it. When she was done with my makeup, she curled my hair as well. I was really happy with the final look, and I got a lot of compliments on my hair and makeup that day. Thank you, Emily! read more

I was a bridesmaid for one of my closest and dearest friend. Emily was hired to do my makeup and did a wonderful job.

Definitely recommend her work. read more

Emily did my makeup for my graduation and I highly recommend her! I loved that she made it look so natural and I didn't feel like my makeup was very heavy nor there was too much on my face.
