I've shot with Keli several times now, either with her working as the photographer or the MUA or both and honestly I could not have better things to say about her. Concepts were communicated clearly, shes a delight to work with, the results speak for themselves, and I will always keep going back for more.

Keli worked with me on a shoot at Silkwood Studio organised by Alan Ward. She came prepared and not only is she extremely talented and professional but she is also very down to earth and instantly puts you at ease in the make up chair! I have had some not very nice experiences with MUA's in the past but Keli has melted away any doubts I may have had about working with MUA's (I just hadn't found Keli yet!) She also helped out massively during the shoot with props and fabric and made the experience smooth

If you haven't worked with her then you need to do so now! :)

Hope to work with her again soon

I've been desperate to work with Keli for years now, and finally got the chance on Saturday!

I can only say good things about this absolute pure talent of a MUA.

Pre Comms were great, everything was discussed and ready before the shoot.

On the day they were ready to go as soon as I arrived. They had a clear vision of what look we were doing, and created an amazing look that was better than I could even picture.

The talent and skill of Keli is simply unparalleled. If you're thinking of hiring a great MUA, look no further!

I hope we get to work together again in the future.

It was my second shoot today with the lovely Keli and like last time, she did not disappoint!

Her pre-comms are excellent and she brings everything and more to the shoot!

Today we were doing a futuristic cyborg style shoot and we used prosthetic, Keli is obviously very skilled in much more than just makeup and hair as she turned me into a cyborg!

Keli is so fun to work with, she is very passionate about her work and is such a great help throughout the shoot.

I would definitely recommend Keli !

Thank you,

I have worked several times with Keli and hope to shoot lots more with her. Keli is a very capable MUA but she brings a lot more to the shoot than those MUA skills - Keli has great ideas for set design, posing etc and puts lots of effort into a shoot beforehand and on the day - she is a wonderful positive influence on a shoot always helpful - improving the results and making the day fun.

Our shoot theme this time was Cyborg based which allowed Keli to show off her talents with prosthetics but she also worked with our model, GirlonFire to provide great costume and accessory add-ons - including a futuristic gun at short notice.

Keli is willing to put lots of effort into shoots, is very skilled and is super friendly and easy to work with.

I have no hestitation recommending Keli for anyone who needs help with make-up, hairstyling or any other aspects of shoot design/styling and we already have several shoot ideas in the pipeline.

Thank you again for all your cybrg work Keli :)

I had my first shoot with Keli this month - SO GOOD. Keli is really friendly, professional and produced some great looks, exactly on brief and finishing with some really realistic 'wound looks' . On top of that she was kind enough to bring a range of props that were spot on for our shoot. Definitely recommended and I hope to work with Keli again very soon  - thanks so much Keli

I had the absolute pleasure of working with Keli on a fun pirate shoot with photographer Alan Ward. Keli was so wonderful to work with! She is talkative, friendly, so easy to get along with, and not to mention how amazing she is at makeup!

I was blown away with her makeup ability and how quickly she did it all as well! I would love to work with Keli again and 100% recommend her to anyone!

Thank you so much Keli!

Crossroads Studio

Keli was at the studio today to shoot a Jackson Pollock inspired body paint set.

Keli is one talented mua and an exceptionally creative person. Throw her scraps of an idea and you will very soon have a fully fledged project in front of you.

Keli is really good fun to have at the studio, puts models and photographers at their ease and brings ideas to life.

Her work is immaculate and as a studio owner, importantly, she is so tidy!

If you need a mua you should definitely be in touch with Keli.

I was working with Keli today on a Jackson Pollock inspired shoot.

It involved a full body paint, which Keli had planned down to the last brush stroke.

I have to say that I have never worked with a more creative and well prepared mua.

Add to that, that she is a a damned nice young lady you will struggle to find a better mua.

Can’t wait to work with her again.

Morticia Avery

Working with this talented lady is always highly creative and with out of the box concepts!

We usually tend to aim of weird and wonderful as thats what we love to create and the two of us do it so well together!

Keli is always prepared and ready to go with following conversation, she is down to earth and easy to chat with.

Always a pleasure

I worked with Keli again on a project on 18th Dec. First thing to say is that you won’t work with a harder working mua ... ever!

From the very first stage of planning the shoot, Keli was into making sure the outfits were right and sourcing props from anywhere as well as making them. I know for a fact she had a late night before the shoot and an ultra early start on the day of the shoot to finish making a troublesome item for the shoot.

Her makeup skills are brilliant and she is always on hand throughout the shoot for ‘top ups’.

In addition to Keli’s makeup skills she is a true creative. Her ideas are imaginative and original. Give Keli the seed of an idea and you will have a fully bloomed project appear before you!

I can’t recommend Keli too highly.

Keli is an amazing make-up artist I've worked with her on many shoots almost countless amount I believe this is my first reference :) She is great creative. I can only say positive things about Keli. If you ever work with Keli you'll understand what I mean

Thank you Keli

This woman is the most incredible make-up artist and creative mind. I try and jump in every time she shares a casting call for a new project because I'm fully aware the result will be incredible. MORE than recommended!!

GracieL

This was my first time working with Keli and highly anticipated! She is lovely, funny and very easy to work with. 200% excited for our next shoot together ❤️

Morticia Avery

Working with this star is always a pleasure.

Keli always comes very prepared with lots of props at the ready opening up to multiple concepts to be captured in no time!

This shoot was improvised as we went on with myself, Murat and Gracie. Wow were we amazed at what we all created together.

Hopefully get to work with this lovely lady again before I jet off! ❤️

Keli was the MUA at a shoot at Crossroads Studio, she did make up for a 90 minute shoot, creating three looks for me, comes before the event we’re good, and Keli interpreted my rather vague ideas into reality really well, she was helpful during the shoot ensuring that the make up and look stayed good throughout. Would definitely recommend her if you need a creative adaptable MUA.

Wow, wow, wow!!! What a truly talented lady Keli is!! I was so excited when a photographer booked us and couldn't wait to start bringing the character to life.

From the moment I met Keli I knew straight away we would get on. She was friendly, chatty and we just hit it off. It was like we had known each other for years. Then she started the makeup and I was well and truly blown away!! My skin looked amazing and the makeup was just wow!

She is really very talented and has her own amazing style which I love. I would highly recommend working with her and I really hope we get chance to work together again. Thanks so much Keli! X

I had the pleasure of working with Keli again today. We were working on a project for me along with the amazing model Elle J.

It’s difficult to know where to start when trying to describe Keli.

Keli is amazingly creative. Give her a basic idea and before you know it Keli has produced some exquisite creation way beyond what you’ve imagined.

She is brilliant with pre-shoot communications; keeping everyone involved up to date with her creations.

Keli is far more than just a makeup girl. She produces fantastic hair styles, makes outfits, even styles and makes wigs.

If you need someone on board to do any of this then you do need to book Keli.

Just saying that I recommend Keli is not anywhere near enough.

If you want to sample Keli’s work then come along to her event at Crossroads Studio on 15th December !!!

Attended a shoot at The Boardroom where Keli MUA and Marie Jean Taylor (Model) worked as a team on Miss Havisham theme. Both ladies are a joy to work with and provided an outstanding set/make up/costumes so that I got some fabulous results. Both are super-creative and made the shoot a real pleasure to do. So pleased I booked onto this and can't wait to work with them again. Thank you ladies. :)X

Keli oversaw the weekend adventures with Marie Jean Taylor at the boardroom in derby on a themed shoot based on Miss Havisham. Keli's attention to detail was paramount throughout the day, retouching when needed to maintain a super high standard. Her professionalism shone through throughout and also gave time to interact with all who were on site from start to finish. The set keli Marie

And Phil built at the boardroom studio complimented the theme perfectly .....super attentive, super skills, super social, super human.
