Reviewed On 8/04/2021 by Romy G
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!

To start, I LOVE Meli. I cannot recommend her enough. She is so professional but also kind and extremely easy to get along with. She talks to you like a person and not just another customer. My makeup looked phenomenal, and I received many comp...
liments. My bridesmaids also looked out of this world &&! my bridesmaids were multiple ethnicities, Spanish, African American, that is no easy task to be able to do make-up WELL for that many different ethnicities. My bridesmaids were very happy. Her price point is fair and reasonable in my opinion especially in this business. Somehow, she also works quickly we finished with hair and makeup well before the deadline but thank god we did, I needed the extra time for a bra issue was having with my wedding dress. You cannot go wrong with Meli, she also respects whatever your wishes are regarding your makeup and your style, which not every artist does that. Again, I HIGHLY recommend Meli you will not regret it.

Meli is the best makeup artist I could have asked for on my wedding day. I am so thankful to her for everything! From the trial, which helped me get an idea of what the experience would be, to the day itself, she was nothing but helpful. Mel...
i showed up on time and ready to work, after a few minutes of setting up and a sip of coffee she was ready to go. Everyone was very impressed with how hard she worked! She kept us on schedule so we were able to walk out the door on time. I was impressed by how she was calm and collected while all the chaos was happening around her. All the ladies were so happy with their makeup, and each of us chose very different looks. From the young to the old we all looked glam and felt fabulous. I also changed my inspiration a bit from the trial to the wedding day, and she was more than flexible with adding a bit more glam to the look. She also communicated with me in the months leading up to the wedding, and I never felt like I was left in the dark about anything. My makeup lasted the whole day and I was so sad to take it off since that was the most beautiful I have ever felt. It even lasted through a torrential downpour in NYC as we were running to our hotel room - I looked in the mirror and still had the full glam face on! I would recommend Meli highly and am so happy I got to work with her!

She was able to do my trial for my engagement shoot (highly recommend) and I was blown away on how my makeup stayed on while I was outside for hours taking pictures on a cold, chilly day. The same holds true for my wedding day. My makeup lasted! Lashes are included and she leaves you a little touch up lip product as well. I was so glad I found Meli through my venue and she was an amazing choice! If you are looking for someone kind, talented, responsive, and reasonably priced. Look no further! Thanks for everything Meli and can’t wait to see pics on your big day coming up too!

lined up with my vision. At the end of the trial, I was thrilled with the outcome and booked right away. Leading up to wedding day, she was super approachable with any questions I had and was very responsive when I reached out to add another bridesmaid in or to ask a question. On my wedding day, she arrived to the location of our venue early and was fully prepared for a morning of working with 6 bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, and myself. She took her time with each person, making sure they were pleased with their look, and was so professional, friendly, and efficient to be sure we were on schedule and done in time. She took the time to do touch ups before leaving as well. When I say that she NAILED the look I was going for, I can't emphasize that enough. I look like me in the pictures, just glammed up a bit and that was all I was looking for. She crushed it- I can't recommend her enough. I struck gold when I found Meli's listing while browsing on The Knot and if you're looking for someone who is wonderful to work with on your wedding day, call Meli!! She truly loves what she does and puts passion into her work. You will not be disappointed!

lable by both text and email for questions and updates over the months as I ironed out all of the details from the headcount, schedule, and other updates. I had also sent Meli some "inspirational" looks I was hoping to emulate for my vision of colors and style as the day got closer, and she not only created the most beautiful interpretation of them, but she also gifted me a shimmery pink/pearl lip gloss that matched the colors I had sent so that I could reapply throughout the day and look glowing into the night. I received so many compliments on the flawlessness of my makeup, and Meli was so thoughtful and sent/mailed printed photos of the shots she took on her phone of the venue and the finished product of my lashes for days and porcelain skin. :-) I trusted her completely, she really is the best, so professional, punctual, and personable! My family and friends who had makeup done kept raving about how much they loved working with her - how she was so fun and sweet, and all of the traits you want in your makeup artist on your wedding day. Meli also works with hairstylist Rose Renda (who was also lovely and talented), so be sure to ask about her when you reach out, too.

There aren't enough words to truly describe how wonderful Melissa is. I found Melissa after a makeup trial elsewhere that hadn't gone well and was probably at the height of my bridezilla panic. From my first call with her - not even having met...
- she had an understanding of what I wanted, a pricepoint that was in my budget, and acted in a calm and reassuring way - which I really needed. After my trial with her I was completely smitten. Melissa is so personable and easy to talk to. The trial flew by between laughs and stories and once she was done I wanted to cry over the makeup application she had done - but obviously couldn't because ruining her makeup application would be tragic. I even wore the trial makeup to my engagement photos and it held up beautifully and pictured impeccably. On our wedding day Melissa showed up on time and executed flawless application on myself, all 4 bridesmaids, my mother, and mother in law in perfect timing to line up with my wedding day itinerary. I would like to especially point out that my mother, mother in law and one of my bridesmaids NEVER wear makeup and were completely blown away by Melissa's airbrush skills and how it felt like they weren't wearing makeup at all. I should also point out that I mentioned earlier it would be tragic to cry with her makeup on - but let me tell you I had tears rolling down my face all day long and her makeup DID NOT BUDGE. Her work speaks for itself - it is one thing to have talent, but Melissa really pushes herself above the bar by being such a beautiful person and caring vendor. I never felt pressured, she never bothered me with too many emails or phone calls, and she was forgiving when my bridal brain made me forget things. I truly hope anyone who reads this review will at least consider a trial with Melissa because I couldn't imagine my wedding without her.

From our initial discussion on the phone, up to the wedding day, Meli is truly an example of perfection! She is so talented and made me feel at ease when it came to the makeup trial. We discussed the look I wanted (went with traditional makeup ...
since I wear make p daily), and it came out absolutely stunning. The day of the wedding, Meli was prompt, fun, and all my bridesmaids loved her! Most importantly though, Meli uses top line makeup, which lasted all night long. No joke - I did not have to touch up my makeup at all! She is your best bet when it comes to your bridal makeup! Xo!

I loved working with Meli for my wedding day makeup! From the very beginning, Meli was lovely to work with. We had a great info call, where she told me about the various options (airbrushing vs traditional, the types of products she uses, her b...
ackground & training, etc). It was super easy and convenient to schedule my trial, and I am so glad I took her advice to do so! I am a very low-key, non-makeup-wearer, and the trial allowed me to get a feel for wearing full wedding-day makeup before the big day. We erred on the side of conservative, but I loved it so much that I asked her to go a bit more dramatic for the big day! My wedding day makeup was perfect! I have sensitive skin, and the airbrushed foundation felt great on and truly looked beautiful for the entire day, from 7am until well past midnight (in the middle of June, taking photos at 3:30 pm outside!!!!!) Her professional demeanor and friendly disposition made having her be such a big part of our morning a treat. She arrived early, worked efficiently and had myself, my two bridesmaids and my mom ready to go and looking lovely! I cannot say enough great things about Makeup by Meli and would definitely recommend her to friends and family :)

I booked Meli for my Big Day on 6/3/16, and I could not have been more pleased! Since makeup trial costs can really add up, I was very selective in the process. I was looking for someone who had excellent technique and experience with various c...
omplexions ranging from Asian to Bajan and worked efficiently because I had a large entourage of approximately 10 ladies. Ultimately, I chose Meli because she did beautiful, long-lasting work using high end products. Also, she was very flexible when it came to tweaking the look to my preference and satisfaction. To top it off, she is punctual, super personable, and provides good, positive energy to the occasion. On my wedding day, she was the first person to arrive at my bridal suite (even before my event planner, MOH and mom) and glamorized each of us ladies in a timely fashion. My makeup lasted through not only a relatively humid summer day, but also endless kisses and hugs from friends and family, tears of joy/stress, and the entire sweaty dance party that ensued at my reception. All the ladies raved about how flawless their makeup turned out! Two thumbs way up for Bridal Makeup by Meli!
