Okay so I thought really hard about giving this place a review. Honestly I was not happy because I told her that I need a lighter color. I've had it before in the Bay Area and was told go light not dark. I told her this and instead of listening to her client she went dark. Ok, fine the color isn't so bad but if it's disappears within a month what's the purpose of even paying 800 dollars for a months of glam. I wear a mask all day and wanted to not wear lipstick or anything for that matter. I even told her about this and instead of offering to make it right or give a discount she just said your lips look fine I wouldn't touch it. Ok. So ladies if you have dark lips like mine I would avoid wasting money. It only last 1-2 months and you are back to your same lip color. Waste of money and token read more

I got my eyebrows done by Kelly and she did a great job! I was nervous at first, but she put me at ease. She is so professional and courteous. I was also apprehensive about how I would look afterward but I had nothing to worry about - let's just say I am willing to take selfies now lol. I highly recommend her - she books up way in advance but totally worth it. read more

I absolutely LOVE my brows done by Kelly! Let me start with saying, I've always had very thin eyebrows (victim of the early 00s lol) but tried filling them in the best I could and I am a MUA. However, they were always uneven when I filled them in myself so I decided to get combo brows to skip this step completely in the AMs. Best decision ever!! At first, it took a long time for me to get used to my combo brows because they're bigger than I was used to; but I'm so happy I was patient with myself because now looking back at old photos, I cannot believe I left my house with my previous brows. Kelly is the sweetest and always makes me feel comfortable when I go in. She really has an eye for what will look good on your face shape. If you trust Kelly with your tattoo you won't regret it!!!! :) read more

Makeup Before You Wakeup - After my touch up:) - Permanent Makeup Near Me - Roseville, California

I had an excellent experience with both my eyeliner, and my lips. Apparently I'm very sensitive, my skin gets very swollen and sore, my eyes watered a ton but she definitely did her thing as best she could! My eyeliner is the favorite outcome between the lips and eyes, as I think I might have to go back again for a touchup on my lips as the color didn't quite turn out as hoped. They do a pretty good job at numbing you, although I caught wind that for very sensitive clients they can actually have a professional come in and inject you with lidocaine. If I had it to do again I probably would've paid the extra money and gotten the lidocaine injection, but hindsight is 20/20- am I right? I love that she tattoos the waterline of your eye, so that it blends in seamlessly. Always remember that the colors for lips end up potentially lighter on your lips after it heals, so I don't think you can go wrong with going a little bit darker than you want. the color seemed to have taken a bit more on my upper lip than lower, so I will be reaching out for an appointment to do a touch up pretty soon. Highly recommended, she's a pro and knows what she's doing! Hurry up and make your appointment because they are literally booked out six months or longer in advance! read more

4 years later and still no regrets. The photos speak for themselves. Top photo is healed results one year and 3 months after my 3rd touch up and bottom photo is immediately after my 4th touch up. Before my touch up I was questioning myself if I even needed it because I felt like my eyebrows still looked great but after my 4th touch up I am so happy I went! Kelly is a true artist that really cares about all her clients read more

Wow. Kelly. You are an angel we don't deserve. A true artist and you understand exactly what the balance is between what people want and what they NEED. Thank you, thank you, thank you there is a reason you're one of the most sought out experts in microblading and permanent makeup. This year was my first time with microblafing and you went above an beyond making me feel comfortable and answering any questions I had. You take such delicate and precise time with all of your clients. It shows how much passion and pride you put into your work. Thank you :) Photos are before, after my initial and after my touch up from this amazing woman! read more

Kelly did such an amazing job, I am so happy with her artistic gift. Combo Brows and Freckles!! Not only is she the best at what she does but she has such a great personality. Myka who checked me in was so welcoming and made me feel comfortable, she answered my questions I had while waiting for the numbing to work and made any anxiety I had go away, she too has a great artist eye and helped with the placement of my freckles (she has naturally beautiful ones) and did a great job with Kelly on where my faux freckles should be placed. I've wanted to have my already thick brows microbladed for awhile now and wasn't going to let just anyone do them. My brows are naturally thick but lacked an arch and fullness towards the middle, where I really wanted it. She knows the exact colors to use to match our skin undertones and brow hair. I knew that the 7 month wait would so be worth it. I am super super picky when it comes to anything done to my face, picking my tattoo artist, threading artist, so when I say Kelly knows what she is doing, I definitely mean that. I wouldn't leave a review if I just thought she did an "okay" job. She did an AMAZING job. Kelly created the cutest freckles, even better than I expected them to look. My toddler says they look just like "chocolate sprinkles"!! read more

My daughter and I have both recently become clients of Kelly's. She is an incredible artist and all-around wonderful human being. I've never had a tattoo in my life and was somewhat afraid of needles, but this was a painless experience - with simple aftercare instructions, convenient on-street and/or private parking lot access, a welcoming atmosphere, nice facilities and most importantly, Kelly is so personable and easy going! Don't get me wrong, Kelly is very meticulous when it comes to designing and drawing (microblading) your brows! She is a true perfectionist! If you ever decide to make an appointment, be sure to tell her that Tina P. sent you. Needless to say, we are clients for life read more

Kelly is beyond amazing. Regular stencils don't work for me, so she hand drew the perfect brows for my face! She picked a perfect taupe for me (I'm blonde). She has excellent detailed instructions for before, and after your appointment. Before the appointment she applied numbing cream, so there is really no discomfort. And if all that wasn't enough, she has a heart of gold. She helps animals, camp fire victims, and breast cancers survivors. I will never go anywhere else. (The color in the picture is off, as it was right when they were done. It's much softer and taupe. I just had my touch up done yesterday, or I'd post a better picture. But you can see the amazing shape). read more

Kelly at Makeup Before You Wakeup is a MASTER microblading/beauty tattoo artist!!! I researched artists to do my brows for months. I found Makeup Before You Wakeup and started to follow on Instagram. After months of seeing Kelly's work, I booked an appointment. She is so sought after, she books several months out. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!! Kelly's facility in Roseville is absolutely adorable, clean and cozy. Kelly got me all set up in a room while the cream to numb my brows got to work. It was so relaxing and I felt well taken care of. She then moved me into the procedure room and took before pictures. The entire time we chatted away. I'm not a super social person, but Kelly was so dang sweet that she made me feel like we had been friends for years. We started with my brows...did I mention that her work was so impressive that I actually booked to get my lips done too?!?!? When she did my brows I felt no discomfort at all. She had me sit up several times to make sure my brows looked amazing, and then had me lay back down to keep working on the perfection that would be my brows! Once they were done, she started on tattooing my lips. At 45 years old, my lips had thinned and the color was very pale. Kelly fixed my lip border so they LOOKED plump, and filled with a gorgeous mauve color. They did swell during the procedure, but were back to normal the next day and looked lovely. I LOVE my lips and brows!!! read more

I have been coming here since 2018 and Kelly is just amazing. There is a reason that she is always booked out so far in advance. She is hands down the best you can find and she is incredible with her clients. I would never trust anyone else with my brows. I did a ton of research in finding her and the masses that utilize her are a testament to her amazing work read more

I was really excited to get my brows done because I basically didn't have any brows from the arch down. Kelly took the time to discuss with me and show me how my eyebrows were going to look before she started the microblading. This gave me peace of mind that my eyebrows would look great after they were done. And they do! I love the color she chose and how much fuller they look. The procedure was virtually painless. I was able to go to work a few hours later with just redness but no pain. I would definitely recommend Kelly be your person for your brows! I can't wait to see my brows when they are fully healed. I will post a pic after my touch up. Update: I just got my eyebrows touched up after about 6 weeks. They healed nicely and the touch up was fast and I still love my eyebrows. I get many compliments on them and I would definitely recommend Kelly. read more

She greeted me with a warm welcome, she's incredibly friendly and sweet. And she is a perfectionist at her craft!!! She took her time in making sure everything was 110% perfect before I left. I am ecstatic about my now GORGEOUS AND PERFECT brows!!!! Thank you so much Kelly!!! . read more

So I came to her with very very very sparse eyebrows from plucking forever. I had searched around for super long trying to find someone and believe me when I say, I found the perfect one to transform me.. I went to her to tell her what I wanted and instead of jus flat saying no, she incorporated my desires but also knew what was best for me at the same time.. Basically she numbs you up for an hour, draws your brows on and then tattoos them for another hour or. As soon as you get them done, they are the color they turn out to be, BUT just to warn you they become PITCH BLACK during the first week or so.. By 7 days I was almost fully scabbed off and by 10 days!! They were back to the amazing color and shape before.. I may have her go a little bit thicker on my next touch up but beyond that she is amazing and perfect. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking to get their eyebrows done!! She is an expert at her work and she's super cute and friendly!! Update!!!! Just got my touch up with my Angel.. Let me tell you she is AMAZING.. I am so happy with the touch up because I realized what I wanted, a bit thicker, after the first session and she was able to do it and make it look even more amazing the first round!! She is so cute, sweet and actually listens to what YOU want as a client!! I am going to try to update my picture so you can see it as it progresses... But I'm so excited to see the final product!!!! read more

Wow! Ok... Kelly Devlin, the owner of Makeupbeforeyouwakeup is amazing. She is a perfectionist and a germaphobe lol A perfect combination for this type of procedure. She is thorough with her work and includes you every step of the way to make sure you like what's being done. She's very considerate about your comfort. She numbed my brows for 25 minutes and told me to make sure I let her know if I get uncomfortable and feel pain so she could add more numbing cream. The microblading was not bad at all! It felt like plucking and right now it just feels like I have a light sunburn on my brows. I hope this review helps. I've looked at many micro-blading artists for a long time and decided on Kelly after following her Instagram for a week because I loved how natural her work looked. Thank you so much!!! read more

Kelly's technique and skill is unparalleled. My sister and I had our first microblading session with Kelly yesterday and we were left obsessed with our new brows! She chats with you about what you're wanting, is open to pictures of what you like, identifies what will look great, then magically marries all of this together to enhance your face and features. She's not afraid to tell you what will not work on your face shape. Trust her. She's got this dialed in 100%. Sis & I are looking forward to touch ups in Jan!! read more

UPDATE: Wow, Kelly is fantastic. I think she's just as much of a perfectionist as I am so she was just as panicked as I was when she found out I was worried about the shaping/evenness. She found time for me to come in the very next day and we made a few adjustments which she had called out right when she saw me. Now, they look absolutely perfect and I couldn't be more excited. I know several of my friends and family are already talking about scheduling appointments to have their eyebrows done by Kelly as well. Thank you, Kelly, for all your work and patience. You are so great at what you do! ------------------------------- I tried microblading for the first time today and Kelly was great. She walks you through everything you need to know about the process including aftercare and the numbing made the procedure virtually painless. As far as my brows, I'm used to a lighter, more natural look so the darkness and more dramatic shape is still making me nervous but she's assured me that both the color and thickness subsides after the healing process. I don't think my brows were ever very even to begin with but I'm realizing that it's much more important when your brows are darker. Kelly was really patient and spent extra time to make adjustments, even as other customers waited for their appointments, but I think we'll probably need a little more time to even them out. I'll make sure to post an update when it's all done! read more

Kelly knows her craft! She is so talented, amazing, knowledgeable and overall, an expert on eyebrows. She did my eyebrows for the first time almost two years ago while I was living in California and I loved the end result. This time around, I went back to her even tho I moved to another state. There is no one like Kelly and I wasn't going to risk going to someone new if I already found the best of the best. So I flew from Texas to California to get the combo eyebrows and I felt in love all over again. She knew exactly what would look best on me and she didn't disappoint. She is so good at what she does that you don't even have to tell her what you want because she already knows. It's like she can read your mind :) She knows what would look best on you and I trust her without a doubt. Kelly is awesome! Thanks to her amazing skills, my eyebrows are looking their best ever. read more

Kelly is such a professional and is so gifted at microblading brows where I was lacking hair. I just recently had my yearly touch up and they look even more wonderful than my initial brows ( and I loved them the first time). Her prices are reasonable for a touch up $150. She accommodated my schedule since I don't have child care. She is very serious about keeping her room clean and sterile. She uses numbing cream to help with your comfort level. I have never felt any pain during my procedures with her. She chooses the best color shade and shape to fit your face. She said I maintained my color nicely after a year and that's why it's very important to follow her aftercare advice and use sunscreen on your brows after they have fully healed. Thanks, Kelly, for the best looking brows!!! read more

Kelly is a microblading artist times 10! She knows just what you need and works with you to obtain the look you want. I have always felt completely at ease with her knowledge and expertise! I have gone to her for my initial microblade in October 2016, got my retouch done in Feb 2017 and just went in for my annual touch up in Jan 2018 and am so incredibly pleased with the whole process! I can't say enough great things...if you're on the fence about this, I say do it. As a blonde with little to no brows, I now finally have brows to frame my face. Kelly is an expert in the field, and we are so lucky to have her in our community! Not to mention her new space in Roseville just makes you feel like you are doing something special for yourself the minute you walk in! read more

My first time ever getting Microblading done, I was incredibly nervous at first but the atmosphere of the salon is really calm and lovely, and Kelly was very nice as well. Not much wait time in the seating area either. My eyebrows turned out very good, I'm pretty happy with them so far and cannot wait until they fully heal to see the final look. read more

I am so happy with how my brows turned out! They are perfect! It's amazing how much time I save getting ready in the morning too lol. Kelly is amazing & so sweet!

The first time I went to Kelly for my primary appointment for microblading, she did amazing! She saved my brows after someone ruined them a month before my wedding. This touch up she outdid herself!

With the "glorifying" aging process, I had lost half of each eyebrow, not to mention the thinning of each! A friend of mine referred me to Make Up Before You Wake Up in November so I immediately got on line to book an appointment. I had heard that it took months to get an appointment so I was really excited to see that I could schedule in six weeks. I didn't have time to look at many before and after pics or do much research on Instagram so when I met Kelly I just said, "you are the expert. Do what you think would look best and natural!" She made me feel extremely comfortable and since I needed to sit a little bit with the numbing cream on in her waiting area, I saw a few girls come for their touch ups and each looked amazing and told Kelly how happy they were. I knew this was a great sign! I am thrilled with the results, as Kelly picked the perfect color and did an amazing shape, putting back the arch in each brow to where my eyes look actually younger! And now my eyebrows are actually symmetrical which I have not had in so many years! Kelly is the "best of the best" and I am now considering doing the eye liner since I had such a great experience and outcome with her! This is the only place to go! read more

Quite simply put, Kelly is the best in the biz. I am so grateful to her for service. Her communication is on point, she wants to make sure you are informed and comfortable from beginning to end. It is quite a lot of trust to put into someone who will be tattooing your face and quite possibly making or breaking your look. My expectation were high, and I was nervous. However Kelly is honest, competent and meticulous. She made me feel at ease throughout the process and I am extremely happy with the results. I am so very impressed with her talent and positive spirit. She genuinely and truly wants each client to have nothing less than a stellar experience. You will not be disappointed. I am on day one and she gave me exactly what I tasked her with. I can't wait to see how everything heals. I definitely recommend her to family and friends, and will be a customer for life! Thank you Kelly! read more

These eyebrows. I dread them every day. I used to dread creating my eyebrows every morning and the time and and precision it took. Now I dread looking at my new microbladed brows. They are the wrong color for my hair, they don't match my own eyebrow color, and they look like they've been applied with a tattoo gun, except for a few tiny areas where you can see individual microbladed hairs. They are uneven and slightly lopsided. You know how eyebrows are supposed to look like sisters, not like twins? Well, mine are definitely unrelated. I have to apply eyebrow powder on my brows to correct their color and concealer around them to contour and to make them presentable. Now, I waited for weeks and weeks for the color to maybe soften or change, but they are the same color as day 1. I cannot wait for them to fade, or better yet - disappear, so that I can get them redone by someone who is up to par. Bottom line: let's just say no one will be asking me where I got my eyebrows done and no one will be complimenting me on them, either. Adios $600. How I wish I could give that money to SPCA... read more

Amazing! Simply amazing! I went in 8 weeks ago for my first appointment, and left totally stoked for my touch up - which I had today. Kelly takes her time and is quite the perfectionist... shape, color and skin tone are fully considered before she even starts. My natural brows are light and sparse, not any more! My microbladed brows are the perfect shape, and the color is great and complimentary. The procedure is virtually pain free - make sure you follow her pre-instructions! I'm already looking forward to my 'refresher' down the road! Gotta keep these babies looking good! And, let me just say... it is oh so nice to not have to waste time every morning trying to achieve the perfect brow. MakeupBeforeYouWakeup is definitely the way to go! Thanks Kelly! read more

I decided to get my brows done by Kelly based off her Yelp reviews and pictures. I have seen so many artist do the same style of brows on every client they had so I was immediately impressed with the different styles of brows that Kelly created for her clients. She is an artist in every sense! The procedure wasn't painful. The scraping noise was the only thing that gave me anxiety but that's all it was... noise. Kelly was super friendly and discussed the process in detail. She then explained exactly what to expect for the next 10 days-- she even showed me visual progress of her own brows when she did microblading on herself. I struggled so often trying to fill my brows evenly (they're sisters, not twins) but I LOVE the shape Kelly gave me. I can't wait to get through the crazy healing process and touch up so I can see the final results! read more

3 month update. I think there just eehhh. I wish there were more updated brows on here. They all seem to be right after procedure when they always look the best. Would I do it again...probably not. I actually liked my brows more before procedure. I'm glad there's so many satisfied customers. I just wasn't one of them. Artist is very nice though. read more

I am generally satisfied with my brows. I got them done here about a year ago and came in for my second touch up a couple months ago. Biggest complaint is the color seems off to me. It was even more red before I got my second touch up but it still looks a little off to me especially in super bright lighting. Price for quality is decent :) IMPORTANT: the $150 touch up special only lasts for ONE YEAR, otherwise you pay the same price ($550 I believe) for your touch up which I think seems a little unfair but maybe most places do that? read more

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL, I saw the before and after pictures on the Instagram account, and since I've always had thin eye brows I could not wait to get my appointment scheduled. First off Kelly is very professional and a true makeup artist, it was a pleasure to meet her and have her do my eye brows, I absolutely LOVE them, I just returned for my first routine touch up and love them even more than before. Already 4 of my friends have booked appointments with Kelly and I can't wait to go back and have my lips done. I highly recommend her to anyone thinking about having permanent makeup done.

I would like to just say "DITTO" to all the other reviews on here for Kelly. I was terrified to have my eyebrows microbladed. Not so much the pain part, but the "semi-permanent ink on your face" part. It's a scary thing putting your face in someone else's hands, but I am SO glad Kelly's were the ones I chose...First, she is a consummate professional. She knows her sh*t and communicates it well so us common-folk can truly understand what we're up against, what our responsibilities are, and what to expect. Furthermore, she is just a great human being who exudes positivity and warmth in such a manner that even the most anxiety-laden client (such as myself) will feel completely at ease and comfortable. And last, and most certainly not least, she is an ARTIST. She uses YOUR face as a canvas in which she envisions the perfect brows to paint on, taking into account size, shape, eyes, and client desires, culminating in a piece of priceless art that is life-changing for the client. I am so incredibly happy and impressed with the brows I walked out with, and I look forward to my touch-up appointment as I know Kelly will only have an opportunity to improve upon her already beautiful work of art! If you are contemplating having your brows microbladed, I would 100% recommend Kelly...don't believe the reviews? Stalk the Makeupbeforeyouwakeup IG account...you too will be a believer! read more
