Not a professional and her make up is lack luster. Expensive for the quality as well.

My boyfriend bought me a 1 hour with Kimberly Bosso who is supposedly "the" makeup artist. It was $350 plus he paid her $50 for a tip. Trying to connect with this lady was nearly impossible and frustrating. She is either out of town or wants to come to my house. I wanted the full experience! Go to her shop, etc. After a year had passed, we asked for our money back. She sent a check that wasn't cashable! Avoid this business at all costs!!!

Actually it was $300 plus he included $50 tip with your GC. The man "Paul" who gifted you has been very nice. You on the other hand, difficult, to say the least. My schedule gets booked up far in advance and yes, I do travel to my clients location. Most pro artists do. When you cancelled your appt last minute and then texted me about getting in touch in the new year and I wasn't able to accomodate you "next week", you snapped at me and demanded a refund. First of all, I my policy is No Refunds on gift certificates. Secondly, you were so entirly rude that I actually was fine with refunding to PAUL. I told him I'd Zelle him or Venmo right away with no problem. He was kind and gracious and kindly told me to send a check since he's not up on the latest technology. So I popped a check in the mail for $300 and then added a 5 over the 0 to make $350 realizing I hadn't included the tip. I initialed it and sent it off. I then get a nasty call from you as well as rude texts saying the bank denied it bc of the extra $50 (although I initialed it). Not my issue. Paul called and said he was mailing the check back to me and for me to write another. I told him its easiest for me to Zelle. Furthermore, I never received the check back. I since have talked to him and told him this and said you've been stalking me and are not a pleasant person. He said some unflattering things about you and at this point, I'll have to concur. Next time, be nice and be respectful. I don't accept nasty people in my business. I"m at a point where I don't have to work or accept clients that are mean. I just adore clients with good energy and respectful of my schedule and business. Good day.

Loved, loved, loved the intensive week with Kimberley Bosso. She taught me so many great things and tricks. She's super precise and very encouraging. From the "no makeup - makeup look" to red carpet and fancy catwalk look there's everything included in this class - very creative! I learned so much and feel really confident now in doing my and others make up. If you get the chance to attend one of her classes or intensive weeks, I can highly recommend doing it!

I went in for a makeup class this week and I watched Kim continue to use a makeup sponge that was already used on another person's face.... When I brought that up to her she snapped at me and told me I sucked. The studio is very dirty and I don't recommend to anyone.

I am so glad I meet Kimberly Bosso as an event organizer, Kimberly was much beyond all my expectations. I was organizing an event for a denim brand called Skylton during the LA Fashion Week and everything was really complicated to put together for me, but Kimberly has been such an enchantment, her graduate's team was perfectly trained and everyone respected the timing of the 2 fashion shows, and the makeup delive
red were just so gorgeous. The event was happening at the California Market Center and it was a success, I have to say that I owe a big part of this to Kimberly. She is fantastic to work with and I will always recommend her as a high-end professional makeup artist and school. Again, thank you so much.

Can't say enough good things about Kimberly Bosso's makeup intensive class. I came into the class as a relatively new makeup artist. Kimberly took the time to teach me the basics, answered all my questions, and never made me feel like a newbie. She expanded on the basics throughout the intensive and taught me the latest tips and techniques of makeup application. We worked with airbrushing foundation, applying false eyelashes, contouring and highlighting, and accentuating eyes and lips. Kimberly's friendly demeanor and her knowledge of the makeup industry is second to none. I highly recommend Kimberly's makeup intensive, whether you are new or just want to step up your game!!

I just finished a four day intensive makeup workshop with Kimberley! She was absolutely wonderful!! The course taught me a lot of new techniques and tricks ! I am already a certified makeup consultant from Dubai and this course helped me enhance my own techniques greatly. I would strongly ... yes STRONGLY recommend her to anyone who wants to learn makeup or just had a passion for makeup artistry! Love you Kimberley and thankyou for everything!!

Listen Kimberley, first, I have a copy of the check you sent and there are NO initials, second, "Gift certificates" do not have an expiration date until it is 5 years old! So am I to assume by your reply that you are ok with keeping $350 from my boyfriend? Cuz I sure don't see you trying to make it right with him. As for returning your check you know damn well you received it. Lying makes a person so ugly. One last thing.....how many times did YOU cancel on me (the client) before I had to (after 3 months) cancel due to an emergency? I have attached a picture of the check you wrote to Paul showing that you DID NOT initial anything. AND in the memo line it clearly says "GC REFUND" What is the problem? You can't force me to take your makeup. I am a busy woman running my own business and I have zero desire to harass you, I'm just trying to get my boyfriends hard earned money back!!! and if Paul is so nice why are you giving him such a problem in issuing another check? You know he didn't cash the first one! No services were rendered, no product was bought. I was actually pretty excited to have my makeup done by you. Have a groovy day.

Kimberley's makeup class in Los Angeles was hands down the best makeup education. I took her 6 day course and am so ecstatic with what I learned. From theory to makeup techniques to learning all about the makeup industry, I can honestly say I am so confident now as a pro MUA.
Highly recommend her course. Thanks Kimberly.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
