Kelly is a beautiful person to work with. She made me feel at ease all
morning and worked tirelessly to create a beautiful make up experience.
The finish was flawless and i would not hesitate in recommending the
airbase make up. I would love to work with Kelly again and I will be
contacting her if i ever need special occasion make up. It was a dream to
have you with me on my special day.
Kelly, thank you so much . Leah xx

From the first time I spoke with Kelly I felt at ease. I was very apprehensive about finding someone to do the makeup for my wedding as the internet is saturated with people offering such services. I had already spoken to the lady I had chosen to do my hair (someone Kelly had recommended on her site) who was also getting married and having worked with Kelly on a number of occasions was in fact using her at her own wedding...I couldn't think of a better recommendation. And I did not regret it. My first meeting with Kelly was brilliant. She was so professional and turned up with an array of amazing products. Paying for a trial was well worth it. Kelly listened to my ideas and was able to advise the best way of achieving the look. I was amazed at the final look. And on Kelly's suggestion had booked my trial for the day of my works Christmas to make the most of my amazing look. Kelly was prompt and again just as brilliant on the day of my wedding. I did not once have to worry about everyone looking their best on the day. Kelly is super talented and along with my bridesmaids who were also bowled over with their makeup, I had the most beautiful look. I would highly recommend Kelly. So much so that one of my bridesmaids who is getting married next year has already booked her. If you need word of mouth girls...this is it. She is brilliant!

I can't thank Kelly enough for my make-up on my wedding day it was fantastic,she also did the make-up for my bridesmaid and my mother-in-law which looked great too. She remains calm through out even if we were running late a little due to our timings being out which was completely my fault!! I knew from my trial that i wouldn't have to worry about my look for my wedding day,it stayed on all day and so many had guests commented on it too-which is always a nice compliment. Thanks Kelly your a star ;-)

Great service from initial email enquiry to make up on my big day. She made my bridesmaids look gorgeous with a not too heavy made up look and everyone commented on how good my make up was.

I asked Kelly to do my make up for my wedding as well as my two bridesmaids and mum, she was fantastic. The make up was flawless and exactly what we wanted. Kelly was reliable and arrived early at the venue. Kelly is very skilled in her trade and extremely professional. The make up looked fantastic all night and the photos look amazing. Thank you Kelly and I'll see you at my sisters wedding (she booked her on the spot! Well done you!)

I can't rate Kelly highly enough and would recommend her to everyone! She is lovely and friendly and did a really fantastic job with my wedding day make up (plus my mum's and my bridesmaid's). None of us are used to having our make-up done, but Kelly made us all feel completely at ease and listened to exactly what we wanted. We were so pleased with our natural make-up and how we all looked!

Customer comments :
Kelly did mine and 3 bridesmaids make up, and we all thought she was fantastic. She was very calm, prompt and did a brilliant job. She also laced up my dress for me (which looked so much easier to do in the shop than on the day!) I have already recommended her to a couple of friends, and would recommend her to anyone looking to get their make up done for their special day.

Lisa Pawsey - Wedding Date 18th August 2009
Customer comments :
I had a 2-hr make-up lesson in my own home by Kelly. Kelly showed me techniques/colours/tricks/tips for applying make-up. The lesson involved Kelly making up one side of my face then I copied on the other side which was very helpful as I'd feel confident applying it myself afterwards. Kelly also helped me choose products which were suited to my skin type (correct foundation etc.) and also advised on brands - not always premium ones. I found Kelly very knowledgeable, helpful and thorough and is also great at advising afterwards if there was anything I forgot!
Rated: Very Good.

Kelly recently did the make-up for my wedding day. She took care of me (the bride) 4 bridesmaids and my mum - i can honestly say my make up has never looked better - Kelly really listens to what you want and accommodates everyone's wishes.
I cannot recommend Kelly's services enough - she is a calming influence on a very hectic day and fantastic at bringing the best out of everyone.
I would use Kelly's services again in a heartbeat and have recommended her to one of my friends who is getting married.

Carole - Wedding Date 25th October 2008
Customer comments :
When I booked my wedding I really wanted a make up person to make me look fab! I found Kelly's details and as she was free on my wedding date I booked a trial. I had no idea what I wanted so decided to let Kelly work her magic and make me bride like and she worked with colours that suited me. I was very happy with the trial so knew that the actual wedding day was all under control and I would not have the stress of trying to make myself look nice!
On the wedding day, Kelly arrived exactly when she said she would (she double checked the week before so I knew what time she would be arriving) and because I knew she was going to make me look lovely it made the run up to the wedding so calm!
She did my bridesmaids make up first and then mine and we both looked wonderful. She put me at ease and we had a fun morning chatting and getting excited!
I was so pleased with the result and I really did feel like a princess!
Thank you so much to Kelly for all her help and for a fantastic service for a great price!

Audrey - Wedding Date 6th September 2008
Customer comments :
Kelly put me at ease from the beginning she encouraged me to state clearly what I would like and then guided me with her experience to get a look that I was happy with. She took the time to understand any concerns or hangs ups I had and addressed them with her cosmetic skills and extensive range of make up.( A whole suitcase to be precise.) On my wedding day she was calm and very professional, the bridal party were really pleased with the results, and she even managed an extra person on the day. I woke up the morning after the wedding and my make up was still intact, a testament in itself.

Customer comments :
I booked Kelly Hollands to do my make-up for my wedding on 24th August 2008 and also make-up for my mother, the groom's mother and my maid of honour. Kelly arrived promptly on the day of the wedding and was professional throughout.
I was delighted with my make-up on the day, as was my mother, mother-in-law, and maid of honour. I would definitely recommend Kelly to other brides-to-be.
I had a make-up trial done the month prior to my wedding which was very valuable as Kelly was able to adjust the make-up until I was completely happy with it which led to a much more relaxed wedding day.
Rated: Excellent.
Sarah Green - Wedding Date 22nd August 2008
Customer comments :
Very professional and helpful (not only with the make up on the day), as she helped put a few stitches in one of my bridesmaids dresses when we found on the day it was slightly too big and slipping down. I was kept well informed prior to my trial in terms of confirming details etc, and she seemed very organised. I would recommend her to any bride looking for bridal and bridal party make up.

Natasha Garrad - Wedding Date 19th July 2008
Customer comments :
My experience was fantastic. Kelly is a lovely person. I had a trial prior to the big day and she went through all the make up she had and advised me which colours would suit me the best with my skin tone and colouring. The outcome was amazing. She carried this through to the day itself, everyone was amazed and the make up was still on long into the evening, just needing to touch up my lipstick which she gave me some to do so. I would totally recommend Kelly to anyone I know who is getting married or has a special event.

Claire Foster - Wedding Date 12th July 2008

One word sums up my experience with Kelly- "WOW"
I looked (and felt) like a million dollars - just how every bride should feel on her special day!
Thanks Kelly. You made me feel so at ease and helped me relax when the jitters started to set in.
The make-up lasted way into the night-and my eyes looked amazing (thank heavens for false eye lashes!).
