KC Artistry

KC Artistry was established in 2019 and is led by its owner, Krystal, who also works as the business's professional makeup artist. The business says it has completed hundreds of weddings and presents itself as a dedicated on-site service for bridal beauty. It describes itself as award-winning, a claim the business makes about itself.

Because the team goes to the client rather than the other way around, there is no salon visit. The team is kept small on purpose, with more weight on quality than volume, and members are vetted and trained before they work under the business's name. Before the wedding, the team works through details with the client by email or phone and includes an in-person bridal trial to test the look for the wedding day. On the day, the team keeps the schedule moving. The business states it has no last-minute cancellations or no-shows and does not run behind schedule.

Work extends past weddings to special occasions, elopements, engagement sessions, corporate and commercial jobs, photoshoots, print, runway and production work, headshots, branding, family photos, and gala or red carpet events. The business says it serves clients from many backgrounds and cultures, including South and East Asian, multicultural and multiday weddings.

Airbrush makeup is a specialty. The business's own airbrush formula is described as long-wearing, water-resistant, transfer-resistant, sweat-proof and hypoallergenic, and is offered for all skin types, including sensitive, mature and rosacea-prone skin. The formula can be built up and adjusted in shade and amount. Pricing is set for each event rather than from a fixed list, based on factors such as wedding type, number of days, date, location, party size, timeline and service needs. To start, a client fills out the contact questionnaire or emails, followed by a 10-minute phone consultation or email exchange.

Keeps the team small and vets and trains each member before they work under the business's name, with a focus on quality over quantity.
