We were thrilled with the services provided by Big Day by Abbey for our wedding. Abbey was organized, responsive, and a pleasure to work with leading up to the big day. On the wedding morning, she helped make my mother, who has dementia, feel beautiful and confident. Abbey listened attentively to my mom's vision for her hair and makeup and delivered a stunning, age-appropriate look that had my mother beaming with joy the entire day. The extra care and attention Abbey showed my mom meant the world on our special day. My mother looked so radiant, polished and most importantly, like herself.

Beauty by Charisse K

  • Starts at $225
  • Serves North Chicago, IL

I am a Chicago, Illinois mobile makeup artist specializing in soft glam, high glam, prom, photoshoots and bridal wedding makeup since 2014. I am very passionate about makeup artistry and uplifting people through the power of makeup. I aim to maintain a standard of excellence with my clients when it comes to proper makeup application, customer service, communication and knowledge about makeup & skincare.

Charisse K was professional from beginning to end. It was easy to setup my makeup appointment for my wedding online. It was a two part appointment, one to test my wedding day makeup and the second was on the day of my wedding. At the first test appointment we discussed my look and colors and she was GREAT! I requested one change to my eye makeup and she delivered! On the day of my wedding she arrived early and set up with her chair, makeup and lights. She was efficient and pleasant to work with. She did my sisters makeup first and then mine all while working around my photographer who came to take photos. I have continued to use Charisse K for future events when I needed my makeup professionally done. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so. If you want to ensure your makeup is done right, book with Charisse and you can relax knowing it will be done.
