MEET THE FOUNDER
KAYLEIGH STOPFORTH MAKEUP ARTIST
Kayleigh’s passion has always been rooted in serving and uplifting women — whether it’s helping brides feel radiant on their wedding day, or equipping fellow artists to grow in confidence and build thriving businesses.
After years of working with brides, she saw a deeper need in the industry — not just for great makeup, but for artists who value excellence in service and support for one another. Her mission is to make every bride feel at ease, empowered, and completely herself — while also helping beauty professionals feel celebrated, equipped, and inspired in their craft.
1 Peter 4:10 "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace."

HAIR & MAKEUP DUO
KAYLEIGH & CLAUDIA
Kayleigh (makeup artist) and Claudia (hairstylist) teamed up in 2022 to offer an exclusive hair and makeup experience for brides and destination weddings. From their very first collaboration, it was clear they shared a unique creative connection—working together effortlessly, often communicating without words, and handling challenges quietly behind the scenes to keep the bride feeling relaxed and cared for.
As the demand grew, so did the vision. To meet the needs of more brides while maintaining a high standard of excellence, KS Collective was born — a curated team of talented artists who embody the same calm, intentional approach as Kayleigh and Claudia.
