About Kim

“I’m in the business of helping others feel beautiful and confident, whether in front of a camera, an audience, or attending an important social event. Makeup is an art form I refine and perfect with each face I touch.”

For Kim Wadsworth, the application process involves more than what meets the brush. “Establishing trust and being an attentive listener are the secrets to my success.”

As the child of parents working in New York City in the fashion and advertising industry; and a Ford model in high school, Kim continues to forge her own creative history as a pioneer of confident beauty. As Wadsworth Style, she is a makeup artist, fashion stylist and influencer, fashion and lifestyle writer and magazine editor. As BridesMade Beauty, with her talented team of makeup and hair stylists, Kim takes a personalized approach to engagement photos, bridal portraits, boudoir sessions, rehearsal dinners and most importantly, wedding day makeup and hair design.

Thank you for the great job you did on this shoot. The resulting commercial looks great and you will be seeing it on-air. Thank you again, not only for the makeup, but for also catching the small details with each shot. An extra set of eyes (especially trained eyes) always helps. I look forward to our next project together.

Kim, thank you for all of your hard work and immensely positive attitude today. Thank you for stepping in to help in every way possible, from props, to wardrobe, to makeup and more. It doesn’t go unnoticed and it’s why you’re the best in the industry.

I want to say thank you so much for this past weekend. I know my bridesmaids loved your team and really appreciated your professionalism. I especially loved when we arrived, you gave us the low-down on how the day was going to go. As a bride, it was nice to have that sense of relief almost like, ‘Now you can relax, you’re in good hands.’ I loved how natural everyone’s makeup was while at the same time we all felt very glam. Thank you for getting us ready ahead of schedule! Again, it was so great to have you and your team. Thanks for making us feel special.
