Comments
Kelsey,
Thank you for your work with Cirque du Soleil's Makeup designer and the Montreal makeup team. Here is a quote from the feedback they provided about you via email: "Following last weekend’s makeup training in Vegas,we wanted to shine the spotlight on four individuals (one of these is Kelsey) who we feel are doing a great job. They have shown very good makeup skills, are willing to take in constructive criticism and have a great attitude. It is our recommendation that if we are not available or would need assistance, these girls would be your go to people, be it for their shows or any other shows." Thank you for representing yourself and our department very well with our Cirque du Soleil partner.

"Kelsey, Thanks for all of your hard work during the VR filming. Thanks for helping Lisa and I create the makeup schedule. I truly appreciate your help with the makeup applications and making sure everyone was ready for their closeups! All of the artists looked great and that is due largely to your efforts.

"Thank you for your hard work on the beautiful hand-painted tattoo unitards for One Night 4 One Drop . Everyone was so amazed at how they looked and in particular the costume designer was thrilled with how they turned out. I appreciate your willingness to share your artistic expertise on these special projects!"
