As Mother of the Bride, I was very selective in who I brought on board for my daughter’s wedding. From our very first phone call I knew Meli was exactly the person we were looking for. She was so friendly and so personable, and I loved how qui...ckly she responded too. There are other make up artists out there who don’t return phone calls for days, and others who are only willing to email you a price list, they don’t even want to get on the phone. Needless to say, I was thrilled when we hung up the phone. We scheduled a make up trial and I can’t say enough good things. I absolutely love how Meli tailors your look based on your wants and needs. When you look through the before and after shots of other make up artists, you will see pretty much the exact same look duplicated on face after face after face, regardless of whether or not it complements them. You’re not going to get that here. You’re going to get a customized look that works for you.
During the trial, she did exactly what my daughter, one of her bridesmaids, and I asked for, and all three were different looks. She did an absolutely beautiful job on all three of us. And for the record, she was so much fun- so warm and and friendly and funny (while still professional!)! I was so very impressed that I booked her immediately for the wedding.
On my daughter’s wedding day, Meli arrived exactly on time.
We were all getting ready at the venue and asked her to get there at 1 PM. As my daughter and I pulled up, so did Meli . She did my makeup, my daughter’s makeup, and 4 bridesmaids’ makeup. Each of us had the exact look we wanted, from airbrush to contour to eyelashes to lip color.
The fact that she’s so warm and friendly and fun was just a bonus on top of her makeup application expertise!
If you want a makeup artist who will listen to you and expertly give you the look you desire, and not do the same “paint by number” look on the faces of everyone in your wedding party, definitely call Meli. She is truly the best of the best and I highly recommend hiring her for your bridal makeup!
