Testimonials

I can’t recommend Kelli Thomsen enough! I booked a private makeup lesson with her and learned so many great techniques, skin care routine improvements and product choices. I booked this in preparation for my wedding, but came away with some amazing day-to-day tools that I can already tell are turning my skin game around. I also had a blast working with Kelli who is super knowledgeable. I went from feeling nervous about the appointment to having a really fun time and feeling like my most glamorous and radiant self. Thank you, Kelli!

what you'll learn during makeup classes with Kelli Thomsen coach
I booked a makeup consultation / lesson with Kelli and was so impressed! She helped me refresh my look, took into consideration my lifestyle and skin concerns and created a beautiful, easy to manage look. So thankful to have found Kelli!

My experience with Kelli was wonderful! She started by asking about my skin care and makeup regimen. As I spoke about it she questioned some of my pre conceived ideas about my flaws and how to correct them. For example, I said that I’ve given up on my eyelashes because they are so thin. Kelli made me realize that my lashes are there and worth enhancing. I learned a ton from Kelli about the whole process and she followed up with an email detailing all of the steps and products she used on me. Working with her was enlightening and fun too!

I went to Kelli for a lash lift and tint as well as a makeup lesson. What a patient, grounding person to work with. Kelli clearly cares about her clients and works hard to make sure they have a restorative experience. Plus, her studio is lovely and relaxing. I'm looking forward to going back to Kelli soon!
