As a former model and make-up artist, I've worked with well over 50 make-up artists. Keturah is by far one of the most incredible!! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's professional, punctual, sweet, supportive and beautiful! And the rest of her team is truly an extension of her personality and skill. She came incredibly highly recommended by both my wedding planner and hair stylist. She met me four months before the wedding to do my make-up test and my future mother-in-law's. She's quick, has a fantastic light touch so the make-up looks flawless but also natural and has the ability to make anyone feel comfortable. I was so happy with her ability that I not only booked her for my wedding, but rehearsal dinner and day after shoot! Over the course of 3 days, she truly made me look and feel the most gorgeous of my life! And from the rest of the 15 friends/family and mom's that she and her team beautified on my wedding day, everyone gushed over how incredible they looked and what I pleasure she was to work with! I can't say enough great things about her....the results speak for themselves and working with her is just as divine! read more

Keturah and her glam team are simply the best of the best...what can I say! I have had the privilege of having Keturah's creative eye and skilled artistry create gorgeous makeup looks for events and photoshoots. I'm always left feeling my absolute BEST and ready to take on the world (or camera) with confidence. She is truly talented and passionate about her work -- always furthering her education and honing her skills, which is the true sign of an expert. I really enjoy makeup and it is always an added bonus to get to learn from her as she transforms me -- education for the win! Thank you, Keturah + team! read more

Keturah is THE BEST!!!!! My wedding was January 12, 2014. Keturah was professional, courteous, sweet and generous. She kept me laughing and having fun the entire morning! She did my makeup, my sister's, my mom's and my daughter's makeup. We were all movie stars by the time she was done with us. My daughter still talks about when "Turah" did her make-up at mommy's wedding. Your wedding day, you want to be stress free, beautiful and happy. Keturah did all of that for me, plus some. I had a mini stress attack once we were closer to starting with all the girls in the room, all the noise, all the chaos. A million things were going through my mind. She looked at me in the eyes, I was focused on her, while she talked me down. It was like a total zen moment. Next thing I know, I'm looking in the mirror at the masterpiece she just created on my face. (Sigh) Of course, everyone tells the bride how beautiful she looks, but I really FELT it. I felt it all night. My wedding was absolutely perfect and I give Keturah a huge thank you for making me feel and look like a million bucks!!! From now on, I will find any reason to have my make-up done BY KETURAH! Thank you so much Keturah!! read more

Keturah is amazing at what she does! She did my makeup for my wedding and my moms too we both looked great! My pictures look beautiful my make up looks great i couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist in such an important day of my life. Very professional i highly recommend her :) read more

I have had the pleasure of having Keturah do my makeup on 2 different occasions. The first was at my sister-in-laws wedding in Sedona, Arizona. I knew exactly who I would be using for my wedding when I saw the results of Keturah's work. She came out to San Marcos for my wedding and was able to have myself, 5 bridesmaids and my mom finished on time and never once seemed stressed or overwhelmed. My pictures came out fantastic and I owe a lot of that to Keturah. I highly recommend Keturah. She will work with you in achieving the look you want for your special day. read more

Loved working with Keturah. Easy to communicate with, flexible in terms of adjusting to my needs, and the artist she sent did fantastic work! My makeup held through my 10 hour wedding day no joke. Don't over analyze and book with Keturah. You won't regret it. read more

As a model, I've worked with many make-up artist but Keturah (and her assistant Janie) are by far my favorite for so many reasons. My husbands favorite look is always by Keturah- she has a soft touch and knows how to make the most natural make up and looks flawless! And if you want a different look, she delivers that too!! Keturah is kind, generous, and truly wants to make each and every person the most beautiful they can be. Her heart is big and her talent is even bigger. I am blessed to know her, and she is booked for the biggest event in our lives so far- my daughters wedding! My daughter wanted her booked her first thing, even before we booked the venue! read more

Keturah is truly an artist. Whatever look you're trying to achieve, Keturah knows how to make it better than you can even imagine. I always LOVE my makeup application. I wish I didn't have to wash my face. One of the many attributes MBK has is that she's always on the cutting edge and in the know. I love learning about her favorite products and what's always timeless. My daughter aspires to be a makeup artists and says, "Someday, I want to be just like Keturah." Therefore, this gorgeous woman is not only a genuine and kind soul but she's also an inspiration. Keturah is always my first go to ... however, she's put together a team that is to be reckon with... everyone is amazing because Keturah wouldn't have it any other way for you. read more

This review is long overdue, but the following has to be said! I was married on 11/11/11 and my mother had hired Keturah to do my makeup for my wedding day, along with my Maid of Honor. Keturah's incredibly professional, fun and sweet demeanor was nothing short of spectacular. She made sure I loved my look and was more than happy to change anything if necessary, which wasn't the case at all. I looked stunning and received so many compliments from my family and friends! My MOH loved her look as well and told me what a great find Keturah was! She is the only person I will recommend to anyone looking for an amazing makeup artist. Do yourself a favor and give her a call to set up a trial run prior to your wedding day. I can guarantee you'll be thankful you did! read more

Keturah handled the makeup for myself and my bridal party and it was amazing! She is a perfectionist and listened very intently to what I was looking for. She even traveled to Laguna Beach to make sure I looked and felt like a princess for my special day. Thank you Keturah for being a part of my special day! read more

Keturah did my make up for my wedding back in May. She was great. She did my makeup as well as my moms and some of my bridesmaids. Everyone's makeup looked amazing. She's also very friendly and easy to talk to and did my makeup just how I liked it. I would recommend her to anyone! read more

Love love love! Keturah is not only the sweetest, freshest and funniest gal you will meet but she is a fantastic makeup artist. She did my makeup for my wedding - and I am no spring chicken. She made me look like a princess without looking ridiculous for my age. She convinced me to try false eyelashes for the very first time - I was pretty wary. But she was right - they made my eyes and photos pop. And I didn't look like a drag queen!And for my young daughter, again, it was pitch perfect. I've never seen my pre-teen glow they way she did on that day. And she is efficient, on-time and takes your input. What more can you ask for? Highly recommend! read more

Keturah did a fantastic job on my makeup for my wedding day. I'd recommend her to anyone!

Simply put, Keturah is the absolute best! She is flawless in her make-up application, she is professional (on-time and very efficient in her time management) and on-top of it has an energetic, up-beat and fun personality to make you feel at-ease and relieve any stress about your big day. I have worked with Keturah for years, and she has always gone above and beyond my expectations! Her ability to transform my day-look into evening, highlighting my best features while not making it look like I have too much make-up on, is perfection. I have no doubt I will be hiring Keturah for my Napa wedding this July, and recommend you should to if you want flawless make-up on your special day! read more

Loved Keturah. Professional, capable, reliable, and she made me look great! What more could one ask? Awesome make-up artist.

I can honestly not rate Keturah highly enough! I was an out of town bride with much of my wedding planning being done via phone or email. I am so glad that my photographers recommended Keturah! Most of our original correspondence was done via email and she was always so punctual at getting back to me and answering all of my questions. She even mailed me all of the information that I needed to have when making a very important decision on who should be making your look gorgeous on your wedding day and in all of the pictures you will look back on for years. I was down in Palm Desert only about a week before the wedding and we still hadn't done our "trial" make up session, so Keturah was able to schedule me in like 3 days before the wedding day. Not only did she travel to our house to do the trial run she was on time, completely prepared with her own makeup chair and all the makeup she needed. We talked as if we were friends rather than just meeting for the first time. She asked me questions about my makeup routine and what I should do to make my skin glowing for the wedding day. She always wanted my approval for the makeup rather than just saying this is what looks good so this is what we are doing. She is beyond gorgeous which is exactly what you want in someone who will be doing your makeup. When the wedding day arrived, she was at the club house waiting for me and my bridesmaids to get there after our hair appts. and she was ready to go! She made me feel so comfortable which helped calm my nerves and she made all of my girls extremely comfortable as well. I also loved that she already knew our photographers and florist and when they came in and out of the room it was like a bunch of friends chatting and catching up rather than awkward introductions and limited conversation. I couldn't have been happier. I now have beautiful pictures that will last me a lifetime and that I will look back on with pride because of how beautiful I felt for my wedding. PLEASE use Keturah for any of your makeup needs. She is a true professional and so talented and beautiful on the inside and out. read more

Whenever I would have my makeup done in the past I would come home and look in the mirror in horror. I know you have felt the same. UNTIL... makeupbyketurah came into my life. I can now trust any event I'm attending to her work of art, including my most important life event, my wedding. Makeupbyketurah I can count on for excellence, kindness, and punctuality. read more

Amazing make up artist and all around great gal! Keturah did my make make up for my wedding. It was amazing. She was also just a joy to spend the day with. Cannot recommend her enough! read more

I found her to be a good make up artist but unprofessional. She is friendly but lacks in communication or integrity. I hired Keturah for my wedding thinking she would be the one to personally do my make up the day of but she sent one of her colleagues instead (by herself to do 7 girls, including me in 3.5 hours) - who showed up late but did a great job nonetheless. A couple things were sacrificed due to this. 1) We ran behind on schedule so one of my bridesmaid missed her chance to get her make up done and in addition to that 2) I missed my window to have my "first look" with my husband to be- I arrived at the church a few minutes before I had to walk down the aisle. My mother was very furious so she had handwritten her Keturah a letter the morning of my wedding to express her how disappointed she felt- yet no apology or even a response . So I also sent her an email a couple months after my wedding also expressing my feeling of frustration and discomfort in hopes again to get any kind of reply or at least an apology... it's been almost a year and still NOTHING. read more

There's a reason why every single reviewer has given Keturah 5 stars, she's simply THE BEST! Keturah did makeup for myself, my bridal party and the moms. Every single person was thrilled with the way their makeup turned out!! In fact, she and Janie did such a good job, that a few of my girls (who don't like having their makeup done) were last minute add-ons because everyone looked SO GOOD! I feel like I hit the wedding vendor jackpot with Keturah! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is exactly the person you want around on your wedding day when emotions are high and there's a million things going on. Keturah and Janie are super fun, down to earth, genuinely friendly and just lovely human beings. They're both phenomenal makeup artists and they really listened to what each person wanted. And our makeup lasted all night long. If you're having a destination wedding in Palm Springs/Palm Desert and you're thinking about hiring Keturah...stop reading this review and just hire her already. Before someone else nabs your wedding date!! read more

You can't go wrong with Keturah. She was great to work with - professional, fun and made me look my best for my wedding day. I only wear moisturizer and mascara every day, nothing more, but I knew I wanted to kick it up a notch without going over the top and she did just that. The wedding pictures look phenomenal and she did just enough to make me look just like my self but my best version. read more

Keturah is amazing. I was privileged to have her do my make up twice, the second for my impromptu wedding on April 1, 2014! She did the most fabulous job making me gorgeous on both occasions! She is not only great at her trade, she is also funny, sweet and so much fun to chat with. She melted all my stress away and made me beautiful at the same time! What more could you ask for? I highly recommend her services for any function!! You couldn't ask for any better! read more

I used Keturah for a few bridesmaids of mine at my wedding and they all can't stop talking about her to this day. She made them look incredible and besides the gorgeous flawless makeup, they all said she had the best personality and want to hire her for any other events they have. These girls do not get impressed easily as they have their makeup done constantly in Los Angeles. I was most impressed with Keturah's organization, paperwork, and promptness. You would be lucky to hire her if she is available so don't wait or hesitate... just contact her!! read more

I just got married on February 1st, and to put it simply - I'm obsessed with Keturah. She is so amazing in every which way possible! I went out to Palm Springs to get my trial done, and within an instant, I knew I'd be friends with her for life. So of course at that point, I prayed I loved the makeup too.....and yes, she totally blew me away! It was perfect. I absolutely loved her process too. We consulted for a few minutes, I showed her pictures of what I did/did not like and instead of piling on a ton of makeup, she built it up to my liking and personal preferences. I walked out of the trial knowing I was in the best hands for my wedding day. And that I was. When the Big Day rolled around, she was on time, professional, and all of my girls fell in love with her, just as I had. She's such a joyous person to be around and is ever-so talented. All of my girls and my mom looked so, so amazing and when it came time to do me, I just let her do her thing and I felt like a million bucks (shouldn't everyone on their wedding?). Keturah will get you there! She also gifted me with the lipstick/gloss that I could reapply throughout the day and as I was walking out the door, she did any last necessary touch-ups. I got a million compliments and although I'm still waiting to receive my pictures back from our photographer, I know her work will radiate through. She is the sweetest and may I also mention, when I had other questions to ask her regarding vendors out in Palm Springs, she would answer within minutes and steer me in the right direction. Thank you Keturah...you truly are the best they come! Everyone - if you're considering anyone else, just cut to the chase and book her. I wish I had gone directly to her and not wasted the money I spent on my other trials. read more
