A make-up artist has been criticised for overstaying her welcome at a wedding, with the event organiser forced to remove her from the venue after she “made the decision” to stay and film content for social media – something she was not asked to do.
Makeup artist Kexiah, owner of luxury hair and makeup business The Key Look, worked at a wedding in New York in early September, where she and her team did the hair and makeup for a bride and her bridesmaids.
However, the wedding ended in tears after the wedding planner asked Keziah to leave and the newlyweds told her they felt the makeup artist had overstayed her welcome, only for her to return moments later and continue filming.
In a series of TikToks now deleted, The New Jersey-based makeup artist tearfully shared what happened on the big day, describing it as “so fucked up.”
Unfortunately, the Internet was not on their side.
Makeup artist Kexiah, owner of luxury hair and makeup business The Key Look, worked on a wedding in New York in early September that ended in tears.
“I was so excited about the content we would get for her that I kept filming,” Kexiah shared in a video. “I also wanted some behind-the-scenes footage to share on our social media.”
The makeup artist added that the bride told her she was hiring a content creator for her wedding, so she “made the decision” to stay all day and film the content, something that social media users have deemed unacceptable.
Kexiah, who said in the videos she was “vibing” with the bridal party and didn’t think there was any problem, said makeup artists had been hired for two extra hours to do touch-ups for photos at the wedding venue.
“She was fully made up and happy,” the makeup artist said.
“I had everyone laughing all morning,” he said. “There was literally not a dull moment all day.”
Kexiah said: ‘Everyone kept telling me to stay for the wedding because it would be so much fun and bring a lot of good energy.
“I told them I don’t know when I’m going to leave, but we have an appointment scheduled to go there. I also told them I’ll continue filming,” she shared.
According to Kexiah’s account, at the reception she had tried to get some footage of the bride and groom when he got angry and said he didn’t want her to film TikToks.

Commenters couldn’t believe the makeup artist’s audacity, with most of them agreeing with the bride and groom’s decision to ask her to leave.
A planning assistant then approached her and told her that the happy couple would like her to leave.
“What did I do?” she said. “I’m very confused.”
Saying she was on the verge of “bursting into tears,” the makeup artist went to leave but decided to pull the bride aside before she did.
“(I told him) I understand that you and your husband want me to leave,” she said, repeating several times that she was “confused.”
“I didn’t do anything to anyone, I’m very confused,” she shared.
“(I said) thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding day, (but) I’m going to go ahead and leave,” he added that he had seen a security guard nearby.
“It was so embarrassing and so crazy,” she shared. “I literally didn’t do anything to anyone at this wedding.”
Kexiah said the girlfriend apologized for what happened, but found the experience “crazy, unacceptable and disrespectful.”
“It was crazy what they did to me,” she said angrily.
According to the original TikTok posts, Kexiah was sobbing in her car after the wedding and said she had “never” been kicked out of an event before.
In comments from family members and bridesmaids, which were shared by TikTok user Alexandra Bueno – Other wedding vendors criticized the makeup artist.
“I was the content creator and coordinator at their wedding on September 6th. I have never been so frustrated with a wedding vendor in my life,” she shared.
One comment, reportedly from a bridesmaid on the original video, read: “Again, this is CRAZY. To have this content posted, on top of your disrespectful story about my best friend’s wedding, AND to delete comments is CRAZY!”
“The bride is actually my sister. It’s a disgrace that you posted this,” read another comment. “If you need to deal with the situation, don’t use someone else’s wedding to do it.”
Commenters couldn’t believe the makeup artist’s audacity, with most of them agreeing with the bride and groom’s decision to ask her to leave.
“Oh my god it was so hard to watch them, HE CRIED FOR THE BRIDE!!! She’s a stranger to them,” one user fumed.
‘As a makeup and hair artist, I stay to take some getting ready photos of the bride and then leave. I may stay to help put on the veil after she’s already in the dress, but again I leave immediately after.
“She’s not good at reading social cues,” argued another. “I doubt anyone explicitly told her to ‘stay’. Instead, they were polite about her presence and she took that to mean everyone was having a great time with her.”
DailyMail.com has contacted Kexiah and the bridal group for comment.
