I booked Val for my wedding and I'm SO happy I did! For both my trial makeup and day of makeup she brought her Full glam A-Game ! She is professional, punctual, accommodating and on top of it a total sweetheart. She transformed my face and absolutely boosted my confidence with her makeup skills. The best part was her makeup lasted ALL day for both my trial and wedding - and your girl does not sit still here! Val is a dream to work with and I mean it when I say I wish I could have her as my makeup artist for every holiday and big life event LOL. Ps my photographer who does a lot of weddings said Vals makeup is the best makeup they've seen for a bridal party. If that doesn't tell you something about her skills then I don't know what will. Just do it. Book her. You won't regret it . read more

I cannot say enough good things about Val! I've been going to her for awhile now and I will trust no one else! The magic she does is next level. She has done both my make up and hair for multiple occasions and every time, I feel so amazing! Its such a great feeling to be able to get into the glam chair and not have to worry. I know my makeup/ hair will be amazing EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Its also worth mentioning that lady is quick too. My friend and I needed a full glam, but we only had a short amount of time before a work event and we were out the door and ready looking fierce in no time! Anyone looking for not only an amazing artist, but a beautiful soul look no further! read more

I wish I could put Val in my pocket and take her home with me! My husband certainly wishes we could because as he tells everyone, she even had cream to "de-puff" his face on our big day. All of my guests commented how amazing my bridesmaids looked and I was absolutely THRILLED with my makeup. I laughed, cried, drank, ate, and 8 hours later my makeup was perfect. THANK YOU VAL! read more

Val is more than an artist, she is a MASTER and will create any sultry, glam, or neutral look you desire. I will never forget how beautiful I looked and felt the first time she transformed my 'ordinary' self into a breath-stopping bombshell. I was floored. She is amazing! I've had Val out to create a different looks for our date nights and it has made things infinitely more fun for me, and my boyfriend absolutely loves it!! Treat yourself, ladies, and have Val work her magic for you. Best gift to yourself- I promise. read more

I couldn't be more excited to have Val do my hair & makeup for our wedding later this year! She was sweet enough to do both a hair and make up trial for our engagement photos in January and they turned out stunning! I've gotten so many compliments on how glowing my skin looks in these pictures We also did the trial late morning and didn't take our photos until 4:30/5ish, so it's a testament to how good of quality her work is that everything lasted and stayed perfect throughout the day I was very nervous to have professional pictures taken, but thanks to Val I felt confident and beautiful - I can't thank her enough for that! 10/10 would recommend Val to any bride or woman who just wants to feel like a model for the day! read more

LADIES- GET. YOUR. MAKE. UP. DONE. BY. VAL. She has turned me from rags to riches more times than I can count. I mean, literally, I sit down in her chair looking like beatlejuice and and come out as Beyonce every single time. Val is incredibly talented. It's rare to find a make up artist like her. Her work speaks for itself. I have had Val do my make up 10+ times and each time I showed her one picture and within 30 minutes she had mimicked the exact photo on my face. Actually, the last two times I did not even show her a photo. I literally said "make me look hot" and she will do just that. She is fun, personable and so nice to work with. She is worth every penny ladies because I got non-stop compliments. Not only that, she helped me pick out which products to buy to keep my face maintained throughout the day and they did not break the bank! Her energy is truly infectious because let's be honest.. there are a TON of places to get your make up done in San Diego. The reason I keep going back to Val is because she makes me look like a celebrity, is extremely flexible, gets the job done fast, and has THE BEST personality on the planet. read more

Not only is Val beautiful on the outside she is beautiful on the inside too! As well as a very talented makeup artist. It takes a lot of personality in organization and talent to apply makeup to approximately 10 women in just a few hours getting ready for a wedding. Energy runs high, nerves happen, you never know what you're going to walk into. Not only did Val make everyone look beautiful she helped everyone feel beautiful from our youngest bridesmaid to our mother of the bride and groom. If you are considering a makeup artist for a special day you will be very happy you chose this lovely woman! read more

Val is hands down the best makeup artist ever!! She did my makeup as a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding and I fell in love with my makeup and I knew I had to have her for my wedding. She did my makeup, which turned out absolutely perfect and exactly how I envisioned, as well as my 8 bridesmaids. She was able to get everyone done quickly and on time for pictures and everyone loved how personal and fun she was. Our makeup lasted the entire day/night and even into the next day.

Val is, hands down, the queen of make up! I was new to San Diego a couple of years ago and needed a good hair lady and I found Val. I didn't even know she did make up until the second time I got my hair done with her. A little while later I got engaged and needed someone to do my make up for our engagement photos so of course I called up my girl, Val! She even came out to the location of where the photos were taken and made me look like a princess. She works so fast and her work is flawless! I obviously booked her for my wedding after that. A few months later she did my make up for a boudoir shoot I did as a gift for my hubby and she made me look so good! I'm always afraid of "too much" make up, but Val always gets it right! She came to the hotel where I was getting married at and did my sister, my mom, and I's make up and we were all so in love with how she made us look. All the photos of us came out so beautiful and I truly couldn't have asked for a better make up artist for my special day. Val will definitely be my go to make up artist, forever! read more

Valerie recently did my makeup for my wedding last month, and I was 100% satisfied with her work. She was so kind and flexible, I booked her literally a week before! I honestly didn't think I would find someone but it worked out so well. I found her work on IG and messaged her right away. She was very friendly, professional and quick to respond. She even gave me advice on hair, despite her work only being limited to makeup for the day. She is very quick with makeup, she did 3 people in a little over an hour. My mom and aunt were completely satisfied, as was I! She did exactly what I requested and recommended products when inquired. Her pricing is very reasonable for weddings, considering I looked at many other MUA before reaching out. I would highly recommend Val for any MUA work needed. read more

Val was so wonderful to work with! She did my make-up, 6 bridesmaids, plus my mother and mother-in-law in about 4 and a half hours. She was so quick and listened to each girl about what they wanted.

Amazing does not even begin to describe the talent, skill, professionalism, and beauty that Val brings to her work.

To top it all off, she's not only great at what she does but she makes it fun while she's doing it! I can't say enough good things about Val and the high quality of her work.

Styled By Val Kaye - Makeup Artists Near Me

Where do I begin?! Val is an extremely talented hair stylist AND makeup artist. I get both my hair and makeup done by Val and I always leave feeling amazing. Once you go to Val for hair or makeup, you will not want to go anywhere else. I will often leave my hair color in Val's hands (literally and figuratively) and I am always SO happy with the result. She knows what will compliment my skin tone and what colors I have done in the past and she will guide me to pick a new color so I can switch it up a bit. The same goes for when I get my makeup done. I leave it up to her and I am blown away by the results. You will likely leave being good friends with Val because she is so nice and easy to talk to! She is also very quick and efficient, so even when I am in a time crunch she can get me in and out in time. I often refer my friends over to Val and they have all had glowing reviews of her as well. I can't wait until my next appointment! :) read more

Val, you beautiful woman you. I can NOT express enough gratitude to this woman for the absolutely incredible job she did on my wedding reception makeup. She took the slightest glimpse at a Pinterest photo and not only recreated it but made it even more perfect for my skin tone and eye color. I was blown away. She was hilarious and patient. She let me eat a messy bagel while trying to put on lipstick and didn't miss a beat. Conversationally she had me cracking up and made me feel SO good about myself. She even left me with a parting gift of a lipstick to reapply for the night! I was so smitten with her that I shamelessly made her come to my wedding! Yep. That's how deeply I fell in love with the girl. Thank you thank you thank you! For not only making me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt but for having fun with my girls and me AND for bringing along an incredible hair artist to do our updos as well. If you're a future bride and looking for an artist- look no further! Val is your gi read more
