Meg and her Assistant Corey were amazing! They both stepped in to do my Wedding Makeup when someone else had cancelled last minute. They both spent so much time focusing on details...
and me and my 10 girls looked amazing!
I was really looking forward to having Meg be one of two makeup artists I hired for my wedding day. I had a great experience with her when I was a bridesmaid in a friends wedding, ...
so it was a no brainer when I went to hire her for my wedding. I was extremely disappointed when I received an email from Meg saying she would no longer be able to do the makeup for my wedding due to another commitment where the date changed due to Covid-19.
When so many things are already up in the air with Covid-19, it was a let down to receive this note from Meg & there really wasn’t a solid reason given for backing out of my wedding. Given that so many brides’ weddings have had to change during this uncertain time, I now have to hurry and find someone else to do makeup for the wedding.
Meg and I had signed a contract quite some time ago, so this was super unprofessional to me and I wish she had at least provided some type of specific reason for backing out of the wedding or at least referred me to other makeup artists that I could have considered.
Meg did the makeup for my wedding at the Madison Hotel in Morristown NJ on 1/25/20. There are many great things about her but her willingness to travel is definitely one of them! S...
he is incredibly talented and such a pleasure to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable, especially people who have never had their makeup professionally done. Another great thing is that she LISTENS to what you want. You can be full glam or Meghan Markle natural. She is incredibly sweet and easy to work with. I recommend her without hesitation!
Meg was incredible!! She is so talented and so fun! She was truly a great addition to our getting ready group. She was right on time and came in with a huge smile and hug for every...
one. She never made us feel rushed and spent plenty of time with everyone, including touch ups!
Meg was able to create the different looks that all of my bridesmaids and mom wanted! She really listened to what everyone wanted and was genuinely excited to complete their look. I had a trial with Meg a few weeks before my wedding and come wedding day my make up looked even more perfect! It was very natural yet elevated.
I would highly recommend Meg! In addition to being so talented she is a ton of fun and fits right in with a bunch of excited girls!
Thank you Meg - you’re so talented!!!
As someone who normally wears pretty minimal makeup (nude lip color, mascara, under eye concealer and eyebrow powder, MAX), I was really worried about finding the perfect makeup ar...
tist for my wedding. I wanted to look polished and glamorous, but like myself a better version of myself, and based on some previous experiences with makeup artists, I knew I needed someone that I felt comfortable with explaining my rather vague beauty needs/woes to (or risked a face of makeup that I hated, but felt too shy to speak up about).
It turns out that those fears were utterly unfounded, since Meg turned out to be a literal God-send. Meg is super sweet, fun and is clearly an expert at what she does (not to mention that her own makeup is always on point). During our trial (she came to me on Valentine’s Day, which was super accommodating and meant that I looked super glam for my date with my now-husband that night, yay!) she was willing to experiment with several looks until we got it just right, and was very easy to communicate what I was looking for with.
Also, Meg turned me onto the perfect nude lipstick for the wedding that I’m still obsessed with today – and it cost all of $3 on Amazon. To that point, Meg’s services are really reasonably priced for her amazing work, and I’ve never seen better false eyelashes ever – and they lasted a few days (at least on me, since I wasn’t willing to let those babies go).
On the day of the wedding, Meg was on time and worked quickly and professionally. She did incredible makeup on myself and on my bridesmaids, who looked utterly gorgeous. I felt utterly stunning the entire day (and my makeup help up through some pretty vigorous dancing and after-partying), and was SO pleased with how everything turned out.
It was also very comforting that she had previously worked with my hair stylist (the equally amazing Brittney Weiss of BW Bridal) and they had a great rapport which made getting ready go even more smoothly than I could have imagined. It felt like no time at all had passed while getting ready, and I seriously can’t recommend Meg (and Brittney) more highly, both individually and as a duo.
Seriously, if you need makeup for a wedding, or just want to look utterly amazing for an event – Meg’s your gal!
Meg is an amazing make-up artist who caters to your exact style and visions. She was always so attentive and sweet and was able to make my girls and I look even more beautiful than...
I could have ever imagined. She was a real joy to work with, I was truly lucky to have found her.

Meg was super sweet and so easy to work with. She was so good at giving a natural and elegant look. I absolutely love the bridal makeup she gave me and she was able to give all the...
ladies the makeup they wanted. Everyone looked amazing from the beginning till the end of the wedding! Highly recommended to everyone!
Meg was so easy to work with and made me and my bridesmaids look like the most naturally beautiful version of ourselves on my wedding day! We were going for the "natural but enhanc...
ed" look, and Meg nailed it. She worked efficiently to get all 7 of us (plus 2 Moms and a sister!) done on time, without at all feeling rushed. Everyone looked gorgeous, timeless, and elegant, and photographed beautifully. Thank you, Meg, for helping make our wedding day so special!
Meg is a super friendly person and a wonderful makeup artist! I don't usually wear makeup, but she was very helpful in explaining different steps and creating a beautiful and elega...

in. The makeup wasn’t heavy or cakey. It stayed all day from morning until 1am (I was the maid of honor you in my sisters wedding). She was so sweet and funny and I loved having her as my makeup artist!! The whole experience was wonderful. I highly recommend her for your big day or if you have a special occasion you want to get fancy for!

whole bridal party look like our best selves, and was a fun and soothing presence in the glam room on a very busy day. Thank you and big hugs, Meg!
Meg was a dream to work with. She is absolutely lovely. She is warm, flexible, and extremely professional. Not to mention, she is SO talented. I felt incredibly beautiful on my big...
day and I'm super picky, especially when it comes to my makeup. Meg listened to my preferences from the first time we met and worked with me throughout the process to create the perfect bridal look for me. On the big day, she arrived right on time and was extremely easygoing, which helped put me at ease. She listened to all of my bridesmaids preferences and requests on how they like their makeup done and made everyone feel comfortable and beautiful while still respecting the natural look I wanted for my wedding party. I couldn't have asked for more!
Meg did a great makeup trial and I decided to book her for myself and my bridesmaids. I emailed to finalize the booking about 5 times before getting a response. She finally answere...
d 2 weeks before my wedding saying she was working on timing and would get back to me. After a few more attempts at reaching her, she finally told me 3 days before my wedding that she would need to start makeup at 6:30am for my 4pm wedding as she would have to leave by 10:30am. I had no choice but to scramble and find someone else who could do all of my bridesmaids' makeup at a reasonable time. Meg ended up doing my makeup only, and still charged me the full price as well as travel fees. She did a great job, but was definitely the cause of the most stress for me around my wedding day. She was unprofessional in the way she handled my big day, and I regret putting my trust in her!
Over a year after my wedding, she reached out to me asking for myself and my bridesmaids' reviews. It's a shame she doesn't even recall the impact she had on my big day, or that fact that she didn't even end up doing any of my bridesmaid's makeup at all. If I had more notice than 3 days before my wedding, I definitely would have found someone else and avoided working with her.
Working with Meg was an absolute dream - she made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day and was so much fun to have around on the morning of the big day. With 12 women including t...
he Mom's, I expected to be running late, but we someone were AHEAD OF SCHEDULE. I also still looked like a human at the end of the night after so much dancing. The makeup actually stayed flawless even through our after party and every girl was happy!!! Hire this makeup artist - Meg will make you feel beautiful while still feeling like yourself. Thanks Meg!
I would 100% recommend Meg to any bride looking for bridal makeup! She was very sweet and made sure to take all requests into consideration. Meg was great at making the whole proce...
ss less stressful, and everyone looked AMAZING!
Meg is the best! She was incredibly easy to work with on all of the logistical planning up until my wedding day, and then once the big day arrived she made everyone feel so comfort...
able and brought such a positive vibe to the room.
I absolutely loved how she did all of our makeup for the wedding. I don’t wear a lot of makeup normally so Meg did an amazing job of keeping me looking like myself. Each bridesmaid got exactly what they wanted, and Meg did the best job of meeting every girl’s individual needs for the ones who like a little more makeup and the ones who typically go more natural. She is incredibly talented!
I can’t express how perfect everyone looked and how much we loved having Meg with us on the big day! Your wedding morning is stressful and crazy but she made every part about working with her easy and enjoyable.
Working with Meg for my wedding was a dream. She's reliable, does incredible work, and is super sweet and easy going. I wanted a natural look and don't usually wear a lot of makeup...
. Meg listened to my vision and executed flawlessly. The trial was great for getting to know each other, and Meg immediately put me at ease. On my wedding day, she was a joy to be around and delivered a gorgeous, glowing look. My mom and sister also got makeup done by Meg and were thrilled. She's amazing at what she does and I highly recommend! I'd love to be in a bridal party that books Meg so she can do my makeup again!
I am very hesitant with having my makeup done, as I don’t wear much face makeup, and prefer a more natural look. Meghann worked with this and I was so happy with the outcome! Besid...

ht at home! She listened to what myself and my girls wanted done with our makeup and all of us really did feel like the best versions of ourselves!
If you are debating on who to choose for your wedding day glamour needs, go with meg!
Working with Meg was incredible! In my search for make-up artists, I was looking for someone who was willing to travel, offered a number of services (some girls wanted just lashes,...
others just face, others full face), and did work that did not look "to done". I also was looking for someone that would not force anything on me or any of the girls that we did not want. BONUS: I loved her aesthetic from the moment I started looking at her work and knew she would be a great fit for the wedding party.
Meg was wonderful to work with through the process-- answered any questions I had promptly, helped figure out the best flow for the day, helped keep cost down by doing all the work herself, etc.
In terms of day-of: everyone looked stunning! I loved the make-up that she did for me, all of the girls, and that my mom looked incredible, but also like my mom. She was was so sweet and kind, asked lots of questions, and made everyone feel at ease. I would recommend her to any bride that asked!!
I cannot recommend Meghann enough. Not only is she SO talented at what she does, she is the sweetest girl you will meet! She totally transformed my bridesmaids and me on my wedding...
day and made us all look like beauty queens. She just knows what she's doing and will make sure that you look amazing. She also recommended a skin care routine that I have been doing for about 6 months now and my skin has never looked better (I swear!) I will definitely be going to her for any future makeup needs! Thank you Meg!!!
Meg was such a delight to work with! From my trial to the wedding day she was so down to earth and easy to talk to. My bridesmaids and I even started joking around and had a good l...
augh with her. She did a flawless job on me and my girls friends. I felt gorgeous all day. Highly recommend, she does incredible work.
