About Kelli Thomsen Beauty

Kelli Thomsen

Owner & Lead Makeup Artist

A huge part of what I do is work with amazing brides from all over the world. I hand-picked a team of talented and dependable artists to work beside me, and we individually offer a gold standard skill level to our brides in the Pacific NW and beyond. From the clean products, to the way we give that "best version of yourself" look & feel, expect us to bring an uplifting experience that makes the wedding day unforgettable.

When I'm not with my clients creating skin care solutions, you will find me teaching makeup lessons or getting a bride ready for her engagement session or trial run. I’ve been a makeup artist for 20+ years. I have a passion for plant-based, botanical ingredients that repair and heal, coupled with a medical grade quality that encourages results. Understanding the correlation between our daily rituals and how we feel about our skin is the most important part of what I do. It’s my goal to find all the pieces that make you unique and create a guide to help you protect and keep your skin feeling and looking it’s best.

I've been working in makeup for over 20 years. I love weddings, because I love helping others find their natural beauty. I gained experience with different skin tones working for Shiseido. I specialize in airbrush and I was the lead airbrush instructor at The Art of Makeup for Professionals for 7 years. I've worked with hundreds of couples over the last 15 years to make sure expectations are met.
During the trial runs, I create a detailed face chart. I haven't ever had it happen where I was sick or could not show up to a wedding, but it is stated in my contract that if I were to be sick or there was an emergency, I would have a replacement artist show up on time and they would be able to accommodate the wedding party as if it were me with my face chart and products.
$1 per mile/per artist Travel Time is charged at $20/per hour after first hour These travel fees are incurred when we travel outside of our studio in NW Portland, Oregon
Yes, we offer trial runs and encourage our couples to book the trial run appointment 1-2 months before the wedding day, for peace of mind and to make sure they know what they really want and envision. Hair Trial Run $150 / Makeup Trial Run $150
I use only clean, non-toxic, cruelty-free products. I'm open to using the brides makeup products as long as they are brand new and they schedule a trial run and bring them brand new to the trial run and leave them with me. This is due to the current Covid-19 protocols and disinfecting steps that need to be taken seriously.
Skin prep is the #1 key to makeup looking soft and natural. I ask my couples and their bridal party many questions to learn about their skin, so I can understand how to best prep them. I also use a setting spray that works miracles in getting everything set. We aim to create flawless, natural looks with good for you ingredients. Here's our list of brands: https://kellithomsen.com/eco-products/
For the bride, makeup takes up to one hour -we include skin prep -we build individual lashes -airbrush is included for humid/summer months -we stay until everyone feels ready and agrees that they love their look For additional people, expect makeup and/or hair services to take up to one hour -we include skin prep -we build individual lashes, if preferred
A retainer payment is due to book us for your wedding day and it is non-refundable. There are no cancellations within 120 days of the wedding day. Any changes can be made up to 120 days before the wedding day, as long as we mutually agree to all updates. If any unforeseen circumstance happens, our couples will have one year to reschedule and move their balance to a new date.
Me and my team members follow strict Covid protocols while working. We wear masks and disinfects in-between all services for everyone's safety. Each person gets their own brush set. Expect 6 feet of space between each artist.
