Makeup Before You Wakeup

There aren't any words to describe Kelly, precise, skill-full, unmatched permanent makeup artist with technique & style I've ever encountered! She's easy going, looks at you, draws to perfection, While she's numbing you, speaking with you, very descriptive, with options for you, while designing in a relaxed comfy beautiful private room. Her gentle steady hands, has a sense of beauty inside and out, designed my brows, lip color, eyeliner.. with wings that bring out your eyes and drives men crazy!! Her Top Notch artistic experience, will turn your face into a beautiful goddess!! When I looked in the mirror I couldn't believe my eyes, I was glowing, ecstatically, and best of all each day looks Better and Better & until Your Hooked!! Be sure to book your touchups, approximately 6 months out, as soon as you get home. I thought she was kidding.. otherwise you'll be waiting over a year, sadly, I'm anxiously waiting!! Kelly is the only one I trust, when it comes to safety, sterilization, knowledge. Bottom Line.. rest assure her Expertise is Number One! Thank you so much,Kayli :-))

I had an excellent experience with both my eyeliner, and my lips. Apparently I'm very sensitive, my skin gets very swollen and sore, my eyes watered a ton but she definitely did her thing as best she could! My eyeliner is the favorite outcome between the lips and eyes, as I think I might have to go back again for a touchup on my lips as the color didn't quite turn out as hoped. They do a pretty good job at numbing you, although I caught wind that for very sensitive clients they can actually have a professional come in and inject you with lidocaine. If I had it to do again I probably would've paid the extra money and gotten the lidocaine injection, but hindsight is 20/20- am I right? I love that she tattoos the waterline of your eye, so that it blends in seamlessly. Always remember that the colors for lips end up potentially lighter on your lips after it heals, so I don't think you can go wrong with going a little bit darker than you want. the color seemed to have taken a bit more on my upper lip than lower, so I will be reaching out for an appointment to do a touch up pretty soon. Highly recommended, she's a pro and knows what she's doing! Hurry up and make your appointment because they are literally booked out six months or longer in advance!

I absolutely LOVE my brows done by Kelly! Let me start with saying, I've always had very thin eyebrows (victim of the early 00s lol) but tried filling them in the best I could and I am a MUA. However, they were always uneven when I filled them in myself so I decided to get combo brows to skip this step completely in the AMs. Best decision ever!! At first, it took a long time for me to get used to my combo brows because they're bigger than I was used to; but I'm so happy I was patient with myself because now looking back at old photos, I cannot believe I left my house with my previous brows. Kelly is the sweetest and always makes me feel comfortable when I go in. She really has an eye for what will look good on your face shape. If you trust Kelly with your tattoo you won't regret it!!!! :)

4 years later and still no regrets. The photos speak for themselves. Top photo is healed results one year and 3 months after my 3rd touch up and bottom photo is immediately after my 4th touch up. Before my touch up I was questioning myself if I even needed it because I felt like my eyebrows still looked great but after my 4th touch up I am so happy I went! Kelly is a true artist that really cares about all her clients

Wow. Kelly. You are an angel we don't deserve. A true artist and you understand exactly what the balance is between what people want and what they NEED. Thank you, thank you, thank you there is a reason you're one of the most sought out experts in microblading and permanent makeup. This year was my first time with microblafing and you went above an beyond making me feel comfortable and answering any questions I had. You take such delicate and precise time with all of your clients. It shows how much passion and pride you put into your work. Thank you :)Photos are before, after my initial and after my touch up from this amazing woman!

Kelly did such an amazing job, I am so happy with her artistic gift. Combo Brows and Freckles!! Not only is she the best at what she does but she has such a great personality. Myka who checked me in was so welcoming and made me feel comfortable, she answered my questions I had while waiting for the numbing to work and made any anxiety I had go away, she too has a great artist eye and helped with the placement of my freckles (she has naturally beautiful ones) and did a great job with Kelly on where my faux freckles should be placed. I've wanted to have my already thick brows microbladed for awhile now and wasn't going to let just anyone do them. My brows are naturally thick but lacked an arch and fullness towards the middle, where I really wanted it. She knows the exact colors to use to match our skin undertones and brow hair. I knew that the 7 month wait would so be worth it. I am super super picky when it comes to anything done to my face, picking my tattoo artist, threading artist, so when I say Kelly knows what she is doing, I definitely mean that. I wouldn't leave a review if I just thought she did an "okay" job. She did an AMAZING job. Kelly created the cutest freckles, even better than I expected them to look. My toddler says they look just like "chocolate sprinkles"!!

My daughter and I have both recently become clients of Kelly's. She is an incredible artist and all-around wonderful human being. I've never had a tattoo in my life and was somewhat afraid of needles, but this was a painless experience - with simple aftercare instructions, convenient on-street and/or private parking lot access, a welcoming atmosphere, nice facilities and most importantly, Kelly is so personable and easy going! Don't get me wrong, Kelly is very meticulous when it comes to designing and drawing (microblading) your brows! She is a true perfectionist!If you ever decide to make an appointment, be sure to tell her that Tina P. sent you. Needless to say, we are clients for life

Kelly is beyond amazing. Regular stencils don't work for me, so she hand drew the perfect brows for my face! She picked a perfect taupe for me (I'm blonde). She has excellent detailed instructions for before, and after your appointment. Before the appointment she applied numbing cream, so there is really no discomfort. And if all that wasn't enough, she has a heart of gold. She helps animals, camp fire victims, and breast cancers survivors. I will never go anywhere else. (The color in the picture is off, as it was right when they were done. It's much softer and taupe. I just had my touch up done yesterday, or I'd post a better picture. But you can see the amazing shape).

Kelly at Makeup Before You Wakeup is a MASTER microblading/beauty tattoo artist!!! I researched artists to do my brows for months. I found Makeup Before You Wakeup and started to follow on Instagram. After months of seeing Kelly's work, I booked an appointment. She is so sought after, she books several months out. IT WAS WELL WORTH THE WAIT!!!! Kelly's facility in Roseville is absolutely adorable, clean and cozy. Kelly got me all set up in a room while the cream to numb my brows got to work. It was so relaxing and I felt well taken care of. She then moved me into the procedure room and took before pictures. The entire time we chatted away. I'm not a super social person, but Kelly was so dang sweet that she made me feel like we had been friends for years. We started with my brows...did I mention that her work was so impressive that I actually booked to get my lips done too?!?!? When she did my brows I felt no discomfort at all. She had me sit up several times to make sure my brows looked amazing, and then had me lay back down to keep working on the perfection that would be my brows! Once they were done, she started on tattooing my lips. At 45 years old, my lips had thinned and the color was very pale. Kelly fixed my lip border so they LOOKED plump, and filled with a gorgeous mauve color. They did swell during the procedure, but were back to normal the next day and looked lovely. I LOVE my lips and brows!!!

I have been coming here since 2018 and Kelly is just amazing. There is a reason that she is always booked out so far in advance. She is hands down the best you can find and she is incredible with her clients. I would never trust anyone else with my brows. I did a ton of research in finding her and the masses that utilize her are a testament to her amazing work
