Kristin did my bridal make on my big day. She was absolutely amazing during the trial as well as on my wedding day! She really took the time to get to know me and knew exactly what I wanted. She spent 2 hours with me during my trial and went through all my thoughts and suggestions in a very professional way. She also convinced me to try false lashes on my wedding day and I am so glad she did! I could not feel that they were on but they added extra oomph! I can't wait to go back to her for a facial. Kristin is absolutely amazing and I would highly recommend her!

Kristen and her team were incredible! Every person in my wedding party including me had the best experience and we have never loved our makeup more. Right before the ceremony Kristen made me feel so calm and helped me feel beautiful and confident. Thank you so much Kristen I will be recommending you to everyone!

Working with Kristen from my first consultation to the day of my wedding was such a great experience. Not only is she extremely talented and experienced in the makeup industry but she is also very professional and easy to work with- you can truly tell she has a passion for what she does. Kristen is wonderful and made me feel so special and beautiful each time we spoke. I could not be happier with how my makeup turned out on my wedding day and I know my bridesmaids felt the same way with their looks as well.

Ladies, look no further. You NEED Kristen for your makeup. Just through my make up trial, I could feel how much passion she has for what she does and how deeply she cares for her brides. She makes it very clear that she is there to not only enhance your beauty but make you FEEL that way too. She has such a positive aura and is nothing but good vibes. She studies your face like a canvas and her airbrushing is miraculous ---- I cried SO much that day and even at 2am when I'm standing in line for a hoagie at Jim's Steakout on Chippewa, I still looked great!

I just had my makeup trial today with Kristen, and I couldn't be more blessed to have her as my makeup artist on my big day! She has so much love and passion for what she does and knows exactly what she's doing! She explains everything and the techniques she uses so you understand as she does it, and even suggests what colors that would go best with your face structure, etc and gives tips throughout the trial for your own personal use. She is very sweet and SO easy to work with because she makes you feel so comfortable and beautiful!! I would highly recommend Kristen(Daring Young Red, LLC) to anybody and everybody, you won't be disappointed one bit. Thank you Kristen for the laughs and awesome time at my trial, I can't wait for the big day to have you there working with me again and my bridal party..Also, so I can post pictures of the amazing job you do!

How many of you have been in weddings and paid good money for makeup, only to be disappointed? If it hasn’t happened to you, it’s probably happened to a friend. Let me say that this will NOT happen with Kristen! Everyone in my bridal party (plus my mom) LOVED their makeup, and looked AMAZING. I of course also loved my look!! Kristen takes time to get to know your preferences, how you normally wear your makeup (if you do), and what you envision for your special look. She explains her approach and the logic behind it, which I so appreciated! She is so incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and organized. She even did a second trial for me because I wanted to change my eyeshadow color. She traveled 2 hrs to my wedding location. I was originally really anxious about my makeup for my big day but after meeting with Kristen I didn’t have to worry a bit. And she was super calm and collected the day of… something I really needed! 10/10 I definitely recommend Kristen!

Whether it’s your wedding day, a special occasion, or just a chat, you can count on Kristen of Daring Young Red. Perhaps most brides look for someone who’s simply easy to work with and does what you request, Kristen is so much more. She’s professional and punctual, communicative and thorough, kind and genuine, thoughtful and sweet, and has calming aura with a great attitude, and incredibly flexible. Beyond that, Kristen is a beautiful human whose open and has a huge heart. At her core, she’s made to help people feel the best selves in their own skin with makeup and her presence. I couldn’t have been happier with my trial, my wedding day makeup, and everything before and between. Kristen is an incredible joy to work with and I would work with her a million times over.

Kristen is an amazing makeup artist and has so much talent. I would strongly recommend Daring Young Red to one who is looking for a makeup artist in the Rochester / Buffalo area. 10 stars ⭐️!

Kristen spent so much time with me to evaluate my skin and my look. She takes great pride in what she does. Not does she only care about your skin, she cares about you as a person. I wish more specialists were like her! Try her out......you won’t be disappointed!

Kristen is the most kind, patient and wonderful person to work with! I met Kristen when she did my make up for my best friend’s wedding last summer and I knew she was the right person to have for my own bridal team! She is so organized, flexible and checked in with me every now and then over the year to see how I was doing- she just has the best approach for a bride planning a huge event! Everyone that sits in her chair she makes feel like a total princess and is sure that they are comfortable throughout the process- my bridal party loved her! She even convinced my mom who never treats herself to get her make up done. It was such a great memory to see my mom feeling so confident in her own skin-I have never seen her stand so tall! And my groom was just overwhelmed with emotion when he saw me- that was such a special moment for the both of us. I highly recommend Kristen of Daring Young Red, you won’t be disappointed!

Kristen is one of the most amazing and kind people I have ever met. She truly takes a personal interest in her brides and worked with me multiple times before the wedding. She gave skin care advice, set up facials, checked in with me to see how I was doing, and let me do two trials when I wasn’t sure what I wanted. She always listened and was open to experimenting with anything, which made me comfortable as I have never been a huge makeup person. She also did my entire bridal party and everyone looked absolutely stunning. Her calming demeanor was so refreshing on the morning of the wedding when everything was extremely hectic and I truly appreciated having her there. I am so so happy with Kristen and 100% recommend her for any bride/bridal party.

Kristin is amazing I took word of mouth from multiple brides! I have never had more beautiful makeup in my life. She was good at listening and recommending the best options for color coordination. My mother looked so young, my family looked gorgeous , my wedding was amazing. Her response was timely , she texts to better be able to get a hold of me (my preference) even though she was from Rochestor and me being from Buffalo she did the Best possible job to keep me happy on my big day. I recommend her to anybody with ANY type of event. She is wonderful. The makeup is light and organic (not heavy and overdone) I had airbrush and false lashes , it looked all natural and was easy to remove and long lasting all night through our warm September summer. I have SUPER sensitive skin (breakout in hives) and I was nervous without a trial but the makeup was amazing quality.

Not only will you look fabulous. But you will feel like your best friend is doing your makeup. She has a calm loving nature that will keep you at ease on your Big day!

Kristin often comes to my Studio and does her Reiki Infused Ear Coning on my students, clients and myself. I have found my hearing improves after a session!! She is outstanding, caring and uses only the best cones. I highly recommend her for any service she offers. You will not be dissapointed.
