  • Serves Amherst, VA

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

Awarded Best of Zola
I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.

I had an amazing experience with The Stylist Abroad! Ashley, the owner, was absolutely fantastic and was incredibly communicative for the entire process. She answered every single question right away, and gave so much insight! For the trial and on the day of my wedding, my girls and I worked with Kim (hair) and Jenna (makeup), and they were both amazing. So kind, so friendly, and clearly knowledgeable! I was deciding between two hairstyles, and Kim was happy to try both in my trial. I had a couple things I wanted to change with my makeup, and Jenna was more than happy to accommodate! I was incredibly pleased with both looks on my wedding day, and everyone looked incredible!! I was definitely very blessed with the weather on wedding day, so that also helps, but hair and makeup stayed in place fabulously! The cherry on top is that everyone was just so sweet and easy to talk to!! Made the start of the day so pleasant and relaxed, and it seems like all my girls had a great time, too! Would absolutely recommend!!

My experience was nothing short of incredible! Hair and makeup was one of the most important vendors to me so when I saw the work that the Veux team produced I knew that I needed to book. They checked in on my several times during the process and really worked with me to narrow down my ideas. I am extremely happy with my wedding day results and I encourage any bride reading this to invest in this service. They are everything that they say more.

Kendra Bliss is a self-taught, bridal makeup artist from Lanham, MD. Her passion for makeup artistry began in college. In 2011, she realized there was a shortage of makeup artists for women of varying skin color and types. Since she loved to get her makeup done and did not have a place to go, she decided to educate herself and be there. Since then, she has learned immensely by taking makeup classes, and consistently practicing with family and friends. Now she is published and recognized in the bridal industry in publications such as MunaLuchi Bride!

Kendra is the ultimate professional! As a Photographer, I rely on my Makeup Artist to do work that makes it easy for me to photograph and retouch. Whenever Kendra does makeup for my clients (as she is my preferred vendor), the makeup is flawless and I'm rarely doing any retouching. Aside from her makeup application, she's the ultimate professional. She's always on time, reliable, my clients always have a good experience and she's extremley creative!

Society 11:11 did the makeup for my mom, bridesmaids and I on 5/14/22 and we got rave reviews about our makeup the entire day! Two weeks later, I'm still getting compliments about the makeup and how natural it looked on everyone. The makeup used was light, which was my preference, and gave off the exact look I was searching for. The team was professional and friendly so it didn't feel awkward at any point. It felt like we were hanging out with friends. My sister wasn't a good DJ as I was getting in wedding mode and Candice noticed and immediately stepped in with the perfect playlist so that I could listen to the right songs before my wedding. What other MUA doubles as a DJ while applying perfect makeup?! I would highly recommend Society 11:11 to anyone in need of bridal makeup or just makeup in general. I don't wear makeup on a regular basis, but I'm honestly thinking of when I could use Society 11:11 again. Thank you, again, for helping make my wedding day perfect!

Working with Ashlee Kinetra Artistry for my wedding day was an absolute delight. I only wear makeup on special occasions and when I do, I like a nice natural look. It’s no surprise that this is what I asked for my special day and Ashlee delivered. My makeup looked stunning in person and photographed beautifully. Not only did Ashlee give me the exact look I wanted, but she was also easy to communicate with and highly professional. Additionally, her makeup artist expertise extended beyond makeup application. Since I don’t wear makeup often I had a lot of questions. I really appreciate that she took the time to answer them. She provided valuable skincare advice, tips on how to make the look last all day, and educated me on the proper way to remove my makeup at the end of the day. I couldn’t be happier with the beautiful look she delivered and service she provided. She has definitely gained a customer for life. I wholeheartedly recommend Ashlee Kinetra Artistry for any bride to be looking for a professional, friendly, and talented makeup artist.
