I was able to rely on CrackerJack's assistance in connecting me with a makeup artist named Kelli Desnoyers from Albany. Kelli was extremely accommodating, going out of her way to make it convenient for me by meeting me at the hotel where I was staying, which also happened to be where the ball I was attending was being held. It was clear right away that Kelli was a perfectionist, as she arrived promptly with her own makeup chair and spent time asking me questions about the look I was hoping to achieve. I requested a "soft and romantic" look, and Kelli was able to give me the best version of myself. I was impressed with how she consulted with me and took my feedback into account throughout the process.
In fact, I was so pleased with Kelli's work that I asked her to come help me with my makeup again a few days later for a gala dinner. Despite a busy day providing makeup services for a wedding party, Kelli made time for me once again. She was able to create a completely different look for me this time around, and I was admittedly a bit hesitant at first. However, after seeing the final result in photos, I realized that Kelli had truly succeeded in giving me the glamorous look I had requested. I am incredibly grateful for Kelli's skill and flexibility, and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a talented makeup artist. Thank you again, Kelli!

On my wedding day, Kelli made me feel like royalty. She delivered my requested hair and makeup look flawlessly, showcasing both professionalism and kindness. Not only did my makeup withstand the entire day and night, but the quality of the products used left me feeling natural without any blemish. It is rare for me to enjoy makeup, but Kelli's excellent work left me elated. I highly recommend her services!
