I’m a photographer & hired Ketrena at the last minute to provide makeup services for my client. Ketrena went out of her way to rearrange her schedule so that she could assist me and my client.
When my client didn’t arrive on time & Ketrena had another engagement to attend to, she was kind enough to leave her most expensive unopened makeup at my studio in efforts to help my client have some sort of makeup options for her shoot!
I think this spoke volumes of her character and professionalism.

This is the premier of makeup classes! The instructor is extremely patient and knowledgeable of her craft! I have seen tremendous growth in my daughter’s technique with applying makeup. She has also been very instrumental in assisting my daughter with marketing her business. I would definitely recommend this to any aspiring makeup artist!

Katrena at Makeup highlights is wonderful!! I hired her to do my bridal makeup and style my hair. In the weeks leading up to my wedding, she checked in and kept me informed on what to expect. I was a super nervous bride, but she made everything go so smoothly. Katrena has a beautiful personality also! She was very clean, professional and affordable. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future!!

Releasing my own original music, my own album was a dream of mine for as long as I can remember. To know that I had written and arranged my own album and was presenting it to the world was a lifelong aspiration, so to me, my release party had to "perfect". "Perfection" was achieved. I looked like a true singer/songwriter because of the artistry of Make up Highlights by Ketrena Kirkland. This talented makeup artist is professional and stress-free. If anyone is looking for a makeup artist who makes you feel comfortable, classy, fashion forward, and glamourous while feeling satisfied beyond your wildest

Ketrena was so in tune with what I wanted with my makeup and hair styling. I went to her due to a work related function that I needed to attend so I wanted to look my best and Ketrena topped it!! I was more confident and received multiple compliments at the function. I will be utilizing her services from this point forward. I highly recommend you go to her!!

Ketrena Kirkland was fantastic to work with! In one sitting she was able to identify some key issues with my skincare routine and suggest multiple ways to improve my skin's natural healthy glow. She was kind and thorough, thoughtful and knowledgeable. Everything you'd want when seeking expert advice. I highly recommend Ketrena at Makeuphiglights.
