Taylor Klevins

Founder & Makeup Artist @taylorlovescontour

I’ve always had a love for makeup, but my passion turned into a career after college. Taking various certification courses, I enhanced my skills by learning everything I could about the craft. I’ve since had the opportunity to travel to teach makeup courses as well as working on-set for various film productions, fashion shows and photoshoots. Above it all, my favorite make up is for the Bride. What is more fun than being a part of someone’s most special day? I love what I do! I feel blessed to have a career that allows me to help others feel beautiful & confident. In 2017, I launched Contour Bridal in order to bring together a team of fun, professional & talented Artists who shared my same passion. You’re in great hands with us!

Hi, I’m Daejah (like DèjaVü)! I have been in the beauty industry for just under a decade now, starting off working for prestigious cosmetics brands such as MAC, SEPHORA, IT! Cosmetics, and more! My love for makeup began when I was very young, considering I always had to wear makeup for the various performing arts activities and other sports I was involved in. From weddings to fashion shows, I have gained extensive knowledge and experience on various makeup techniques, in order to perfect my craft for every client and every occasion! Although makeup itself is a fun piece of what I do, my heart and passion for this industry lies within the connections I make with each client I encounter. Making people feel good about themselves is my favorite part and getting to be even a small part of someone’s special day is a true treasure!

I have been fascinated with makeup from a very young age, ever since my mom sold Mary Kay Cosmetics.

I went on to work at MAC Cosmetics during as well as after college for a total of ten years. The retail world is no longer for me, but I have continued to do makeup for weddings, special events, TV, and photo shoots. In addition to makeup, I love horseback riding, hiking, and going to the beach more than just about anything else!

Kaleh Barbour

Growing up in a family with 5 sisters, beauty was always a big influence to me. My mom was a hairstylist, and the first person to teach me how to braid. At 12 years old I fell in love with makeup. Then with hair styling when I did my first updo in 2012 at beauty school. One thing I enjoy is recreating Pinterest looks, I always love a new challenge. But what makes me the happiest, is the Joy that radiates from clients when I help them feel & look beautiful!
