A little introduction for the brides who are new here. 🤍

I’m Kim Kelly, the artist behind Kim Kelly Makeup Artistry.

For more than a decade, beauty has been more than simply what I do. It has been an art I’ve continued to study, refine and pour myself into.

Today, my heart is in bridal beauty.

My signature is soft, luminous and refined. Makeup that enhances your features, photographs beautifully, and most importantly, still feels like you.

But the experience I want to give my brides goes far beyond the makeup.

I want you to feel cared for.
I want you to feel heard.
I want your wedding morning to feel calm.
And when you finally look in the mirror, I want you to recognize yourself ,just elevated. ✨

That is The Kim Kelly Bridal Experience.

Based in Charleston, South Carolina and available for weddings throughout the Carolinas and beyond. ✈️

If you’re planning your wedding and this sounds like the experience you’ve been looking for, I’d love to hear about your day.

2027 bridal inquiries are now open.
Inquire through the link in my bio. 🤍

A bride, a little sunshine, and a whole lot of beauty. 🤍✨

Soft, timeless, and effortlessly elegant—the kind of bridal glam that lets the bride shine on her most beautiful day.

From the makeup chair to this moment… bridal beauty, but make it unforgettable. 💍🤍

When your glam team KNOWS what they’re doing 🤌🏽✨

No stress. No second guessing. Just seamless energy, perfect timing, and a room full of calm while the magic happens.

Skin? Flawless.
Hair? Flowing.
Bride? Glowing with confidence before she even steps into the dress.

This is what happens when you book a team that understands the assignment every single time 💄✨

Luxury isn’t just the final look… it’s the experience.

Brides, this is your sign to trust the process and invest in a team that delivers effortlessly 💍

When your client says, “I still want to look like me.”

She requested less foundation so her natural freckles could shine through, minimal eye makeup, and a truly skin-like finish—and that’s exactly what we created.

And let’s be honest… this kind of minimal, skin-like glam works best when you already have next-to-perfect skin to work with. 😍 When the skin is this beautiful we can achieve your request with no problems 😋

Because bridal party glam isn’t about giving everyone the same look. It’s about listening to the client, understanding what makes her feel beautiful, and enhancing what’s already there. ✨

Soft. Fresh. Effortless. Still her.

Riley & Nicholas tied the knot this past Friday on the Charleston coast & it was just absolutely perfect!

As a fellow Clemson alum, I absolutely LOVED all the nods back to where their story began🧡 And Riley made one thing VERY clear… once a dancer, always a dancer!💃🏼 Her choreographed dances with Nick and her dad were nothing short of iconic and easily some of the most unforgettable moments of the night!

Cheers to the new Mr. & Mrs. Lujan! 🤍

A few small changes from the trial made all the difference. 🤍

We switched up her lashes, brightened her under-eyes just a touch, and perfected the details for her wedding day…

Then she saw herself and said:

“How can this be better than the trial we did?!” 🥹

THIS is why I love the trial process. We get to learn what you love, make those little adjustments, and bring it all together on your wedding day. ✨

Because your wedding-day glam should feel like YOU — just elevated. 💍for @galyagornishka hair stylist @micki_hairartistry #charlestonmua #BrideReaction #CharlestonMUA #BridalGlam #WeddingReels BridalMakeup taken in Charleston, South Carolina by @kimkellymua

NEW YORK GLAM, CHARLESTON STYLE ✨💋

I had the pleasure of getting @shanonbigsister glam at @hotelrichmont all the way from New York! 🗽✨

And when your client comes from NYC, you know the glam has to translate! 😍

She was an absolute DREAM client — beautiful inside and out, and I loved creating this look for her. 🤎✨

Charleston glam just hits different. 💋

Traveling for your glam? I’ve got you.
