About Makeup by Kiley Smith

Makeup by Kiley Smith

Owner of Makeup by Kiley Smith

I'm a professional makeup artist based in Fairfax, Virginia, with over 18 years of experience specializing in natural, radiant makeup. My journey began in NYC/NJ musical theatre, leading to a focus on beauty, bridal, stage, film, and TV makeup. In 2005, I started my professional career in the Shenandoah Valley, gaining experience with clients, photographers, and destination brides. My mentors include James Vincent, Kristina Gasperas, Terri Tomlinson, Danessa Myricks, Ashley Fierro, and Charlotte Tilbury. My work has been featured in Washington Family Magazine, the Emmy Awards (Capital Region), The 700 Club on CBN, and Everyday Wealth.

I love celebrating people's differences, enhancing their natural beauty, and not conforming to the ideal 'standard' of beauty. We are all different and have unique features which make us beautiful.   Like every art form, makeup is subjective. I specialize in natural, radiant makeup looks allowing the client's beauty to be center stage. I believe that makeup should enhance clients' features, not conceal them. My favorite looks to create are classic ones, as they withstand the test of time.

    Kiley is seriously amazing! From her skills to her personality, she really listens to what you want for your makeup. She is the master at clean makeup aesthetic, which was what I wanted for my wedding. She’s also super communicative and flexible with your schedule.

    As a wedding coordinator, I cannot say enough about Kiley! She is the go-to makeup artist that I recommend to all my couples. Kiley is not only super knowledgable, but incredibly sweet, personable, and will make sure that your makeup is exactly as you envisioned. Kiley does a great job communicating with me through the coordination period to make sure she knows exactly where to go, has any items she needs, and stays on track of the timeline. I truly cannot recommend her enough.

  • Makeup by Kiley Smith is a top option for couples!
