Another incredible project worked with this talented lady.

I had the pleasure of working with Keli at the festival of Gothica event in Leeds, along side lovely Kirsty Garland. I was transformed into a eerily creepy Old deceased woman in front of the pubic showing the different stages throughout the day/

This was another wonderfully creative day worked together, Keli is incredibly talented and an absolute delight to work with.

I don’t doubt it will be long until we create something together once more! ♥

No idea where to start with Keli!

First of all, she showed up on time, was super smiley and bubbly. We got along right away, but I do feel like she is very much a people person!

The make up looked INCREDIBLE. During the application there was still the conversation flowing. There was no problem with me taking a little break to have a drink etc.

During the shoot itself she was always by my side to make sure everything was perfect!

Did I mention the make up was amazing?? It was ace!

Overall I would very much highly reccomend Keli!

Quite literally 10/10! And would be more than happy if I ever got the opportunity to work with her again!

I had the pleasure of working with this very talented lady once again yesterday.

The day had hit a bit of a bump in the road with our preplanned outfits not arriving on the expected day of arrival, despite this Keli powered through, got her imagination at the ready and we then improvised a full set together and by god we smashed it!

Myself, Keli and Stephen have previously worked together before and overtime we do, its clear as to why. Our creative mindsets bounce off each other with grace, the ideas keep flowing and the outcome is mesmerising.

Keli is one extremely talented lady and with a beautiful personality.

So get her booked!! and I guarantee you will not be left disappointed!

Looking forward to working with this lovely lady again soon! ♥

Great to meet & work with Keli for the first time 3 weeks ago on a Saturday with Marie

Keli make up skills are simply superb and so creative, it was a real pleasure to watch.

Keli is a fun lady and great to have on a shoot, she has her own ideas and inputs them which is great.

Highly recommended and looking forward to working with Keli again.

Crossroads Studio

This was the first time that I had worked with Keli, or seen her work first hand. Keli was doing make up for a studio day with Marie Jean Taylor.

I met Keli and brought her over to the studio and straight away I found Keli a person that is easy to get along with, and very friendly.

Throughout the day Keli was chatty and the ultimate professional, attending to Marie's makeup, and helping with outfit changes - not easy when latex is involved! She is imaginative and creative, as a look at her work will show.

Keli also makes a mean coffee, and can even turn her hand to washing up.

It was a true pleasure to have Keli visit the studio, and we have spoken about an event later in the year, which is really great as I would dearly love Keli to return and work her magic again at the studio.

You won't come across a nicer young lady, and for me it was an absolute pleasure to meet her and hopefully start up a long lasting working relationship.

If you need a MUA, then you need Keli!!

A Shot in the Dark

I work with Keli often and she's the only MUA I use on my paid work, which should speak volumes in itself!

Keli is incredibly reliable, on time and always brings plenty to work with on the day. She always puts thought and effort into each shoot before hand so you know she'll be well prepared.

She's always fantastic with my clients, and always makes sure she listens to what they want and makes sure they're happy. When I book Keli for one of my own shoots she brings such an amazing level of creativity!

On this particular shoot she did all the above, going above and beyond as usual, and her make-up really made the pictures look amazing!

Thanks again Keli, looking forward to next time!!

Keli has become the MUA of choice at all our shoots simply because she is one of the most talented make-up artists I have had the pleasure to work with. Today she was supporting Marie Jean Taylor on a Colour Block themed shoot. This was a much more subtle makeup affair to complement, rather than overpower the theme. As always Keli was attentive, carrying out touch-ups throughout the day to make sure everyone got the perfect Marie images that they were looking for. As mentioned in previous references Keli is an absolute pleasure to work with.

Highly recommended.

Keli was the hair and makeup artist for my studio based all day Groupshoot and did an amazing job.

We had 2 themes shooting at the same time, vintage/film noir and horror bride and groom. The look Keli applied was amazing and what was really great was the fact she worked so quickly too. Amazing to see the results in such as short period of time - truly talented.

The horror bride look in the morning was great and Keli then turned our male model into a horror groom over lunch.

Really fast worker and amazingly talented results - look forward to shooting again sometime soon.

I worked with Keli for the first time with our good friend Stephen at his studio. We had already preplanned what style we were aiming towards but my gosh the outcome exceeded our expectations!

Keli is an extremely talented MUA with such a talent for the creative, Her ideas, hair styling and make up were all just absolutely outstanding! Not only that but for someone so talented, she is the most down to earth lady you will come across. She is so easy to talk to and get along with, with a smile that will light any room...

I cannot recommend this beautiful women enough! You would be crazy to miss an opportunity to work with her, so make sure you get her booked whilst you can!

I am looking forward to working together again very soon ♥ xx

Keli is one of the most talented make-up artists I have had the pleasure to work with. This is probably the 4th time of shooting with her, and on this occasion she produced the most amazing full-body piant on a Gold / Black theme. Keli had just returned from a gruelling London fashion Week and straight into this with gusto - not only doing the bodypaint on the day, but preparing a headdress and other supporting props the night before the shoot..... Keli is attentive throughout, carrying out touch-ups and styling tweaks throughout the day to make sure everyone got the images they were looking for. An absolute pleasure to work with - and certainly very highly recommended.

I have already booked Keli for 3 more Events this year - and I can't wait to see what she will create next time :)

Keli was just back from doing various shows at London Fashion Week. With that in mind you would have thought a break was in order..... No, straight into a fabulous creative makeup design for our shoot with Katrina Oceana at York Photo Studios. Top to toe tribal black and gold body paint. This girl is full of ideas and her skill shines through time and time again delivering fabulous WOW designs. Add a lovely relaxed personality, an eye for detail where she would touch up areas that the photographer or model had not even noticed needed doing just gives the model a confidence which works to a superb relaxed shoot. Kelli is fast becoming the HMUA of choice.

Highly recommended as always.

Thank you Keli,

I attended a group shoot at York studio where Keli was the HUMA. As everyone who has already worked with Keli will know she is an extremely talented and very creative person.

The design and make-up was awesome which ensured the whole shoot was a huge success. Keli also kept a close eye on the models make-up to ensure that any patches that needed retouching were taken care of straight away.

If you need a creative HUMA then Keli should certainly be at the top of your list!

Katrina Oceana

I cannot recommend Keli enough!! She is such a lovely person, a hard worker, loves what she does and is bloody good at it too! Keli is so creative, and that really shows through her work. I can't wait to work with her again, I have found my favorite HUMA for sure!💕

This is the second time I've worked with Keli following a superb group shoot where I first became aware of her work. I shared a rough idea with Keli and it was great to see here develop it into something superb. Keli isn't afraid to give advice and recommendations which is great when you know naff all about make up! Keli is a pleasure to work with, great fun and highly professional. Can't wait for the next shoot.

I worked with Keli for the first time in york on a studio shoot with James yesterday.

Keli is absolutely lovely and knows her stuff about makeup!

She created some really cool creative looks for the 3 hour studio session we worked on.

Chatty, creative and lovely to work with, so it’s a 110 perfect recommendation from me

I've admired Keli's work for some time now, she has an original creative streak a mile wide which all goes into the production of a perfect final image. This is the first time I've worked with Keli on a recent studio day in York, involving a candy floss wig (complete with tea cups), sublime make up and lots of sparkly things. I was on the last slot of what must have been a long day and was totally impressed with her dedication & professionalism, constantly checking for slipping tea cups, hair in / out of place and sprucing up the make up. Hope to work with you again some day Keli.

Black Lemon Photography

Well what can you add to these already fabulous references.

Just back from a shoot with Marie Jean Taylor at York Photo Studios, Creative makeup provided by Keli. Theme, Avant Garde which consisted of wild Candy floss hair, sparkly teacups bedded in to the headdress, all blended with striking makeup.. Creative, stunning, magic, all come to mind. Then you add hard work into the mix. She constantly was watching, looking out for props moving out of place, hair being wrong, makeup needing touch ups so you got the full polished look that had been created at the beginning of the shoot was the same at the end of a long day. Superb dedication that only comes with a pride in her work which just shone through. Love her work,

This girl has talent by the bag full and is a must.

This is the second time I have done a shoot with Keli as the MUA.

As with the first the make up was fantastic and well thought out. Throughout the shoot Keli was etreamely attentive to the models makeup and hair making sure it was perfect for every shot.

I got to spend more time on this group shoot talking to Keli between shoots and she is a very down to earth and funny person with some great ideas.

I couldn’t recommend Keli highly enough and I am looking forward to working with her again very soon.

Thanks again

Worked with Keli on a shoot with Marie-Jean at Saturn Studios. Her make up skills and attention to detail with styling are amazing and this helped us to create some outstanding and original images. Look forward to working with her again and have no hesitation in highly recommending her. Thanks for all your hard work and effort on the day!!
