Testimonials

A heartfelt thanks for the kind words...

 "Hope did an amazing job with my wedding make-up - from the very beginning I felt like she was listening and taking into account my vision for the look I envisioned. I really appreciated her flexibility given that we were doing two ceremonies, and she totally "got" what I wanted to be different about my look for the two ceremonies. I wanted a really natural look for both ceremonies, and during the practice session, we tried out a few different looks until I was happy. The other thing I really appreciated was that she pressed me for feedback and to be completely honest about what I did and did not like about our practice session - and how I wanted it to be different. And then she changed it PERFECTLY! We wanted a more dramatic look for the indian ceremony and then a softer, more romantic look for the western ceremony, and she was able to transition the make-up seamlessly from one to the other. Importantly, Hope was also super sweet and easy to work with, and a lot of fun! Also totally reliable, she was there early for both ceremonies and stayed late to make sure we were all set. I felt like I was in great, competent hands the whole time.
I honestly cannot think of a better person to recommend for wedding day/any other make-up. Hope - thank you thank you thank you for the amazing job. The day itself, and the photos, turned out exactly how I wanted them to!"

I have been calling on Hope's expertise for many years whenever I need to look and feel beautiful. I have entrusted her with every important event in life.  Not only does she continue to impress, she routinely exceeds all expectations. Hope is an artist with a passion for her craft, something apparent in every face she reveals. Her professionalism, sense of style, and innate creativity make her easy to recommend.

For over 6 years,  Hope Mitchell has been the only makeup artist and stylist I will use for all my major events. From a girl's nights out, to photo shoots, to weddings, she can do it all.  Her ability to turn an average into a drop dead gorgeous is extraordinary. I cannot recommend her enough.

Being a business owner of an upscale women's consignment boutique, it is important that I always look chic and feel confident. Before a Live TV Segment, I had hired Hope Mitchell to do my make up. WOW! I looked so beautiful and felt even more confident. I received SO many compliments from my staff and friends who have seen the TV Segment. Since then, I have hired Hope to do makeup for other occasions including The Kentucky Derby. Thank you Hope for  making me feel beautiful! You are truly talented!

Thank you so much for the fabulous job you did. I just loved how gorgeous you made me look (I had no idea my eyes could look like that!), and I think more importantly how beautiful I felt afterwards. If I could afford to, I'd hire you to fix me up every morning. I am so glad I was able to meet you.

Thank you so much for making me look great.  You helped me feel calm in a not so calm day.  You made me laugh and really helped calm my nerves.  I had a blast a the Miss Kentucky Teen America pageant and want you to know you were a part of that.  Anytime we are in the area again, you will be the one we call.  You are the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
