Merve is simply the best! She knows what she's doing, I can be picky and I was very impressed and not worried at all! She is here to celebrate her Brides and makes her brides feel ...
so beautiful! Merve did my bridal shower and wedding makeup and I do not have complaints everything was perfect! My bridesmaids loved there makeup, and my flower girl was obsessed with hers! My Mom was so worried of hers coming off and it stayed on beautifully! Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough just how amazing my entire experience was with Merve. When I started looking for hair/make up artists, I was so overwhelmed by how impersonal the responses I was...
getting back felt.
Merve took the time to call me, ask me about my vision, and put me at ease. My trial was one of my favorite parts of the wedding planning experience - both her and Bleranda made me feel like a princess. And the day of was so seamless, they helped keep a schedule that had us done early and it left me so much time to just soak in the morning with my girlfriends.
Everyone walked away so happy with their hair and make up and we all felt so beautiful, I can’t recommend her enough!
Merve is an absolute artist! She made me look like I stepped right out of a Pinterest board on my wedding day. Her passion and attention to detail were unmatched—she listened to ev...
erything I asked for and made sure I looked perfect for such a special moment.
She also made my entire bridal party feel amazing! My bridesmaids were blown away—some even said no makeup artist had ever nailed their look like Merve did. On top of that, she did a stunning job with my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, both of whom have deeper skin tones. She absolutely killed it—everyone looked flawless.
Huge shoutout to her partner Bleranda who did my hair—so sweet, patient, and easy to work with. My hair and makeup lasted all night, and I truly couldn’t be happier. If you want a glam team that delivers and creates good vibes, Merve and Bleranda are it!
It is my pleasure to write a glowing review for Merve. I could not have asked for a better artist to do my makeup for my wedding day, and I hope I can hire her again in the future....
During the trial, she was very sweet and understood the kind of look I was going for. She didn’t rush me at all and even checked how the makeup looked indoors versus outdoors, making any tweaks that she felt were needed.
I thought my trial makeup came out stunning, but somehow, it looked EVEN BETTER on my wedding day!. She also did a fantastic job on my sister, mother, and grandmother. My grandma never got her makeup done before and was very hesitant at first, but Merve made her feel very comfortable, so much so that my grandma said if she ever needed to get her makeup done again, she would only go to Merve. She made us all look like royalty without making us look like completely different people. Not only is Merve talented, but she is also a lovely person. Throughout the morning, she was very personable and easy to talk to and relate to. In fact, I think we were all sad when Merve’s job was done, because we now felt like she became part of the family!
I got married on a hot, sunny day in June. I’m happy to say that despite the weather, our makeup stayed fresh the entire night. We didn’t even need to use any powder puffs. As a true testament to Merve’s artistry, the four of us received so many compliments on our makeup throughout the night. Thank you, Merve, we are very grateful for you! <3
I cannot recommend Merve enough!! She made me feel SO beautiful, I gave her feedback after my trial (though it was minimal because her work is perfect) and she executed it PERFECTL...
Y on my big day. My makeup didn't budge, it didn't look cakey, and she hid all my imperfections- including the big scar on my neck! On top of that, she was super thoughtful and kind when I'd get emotional or need a minute- giving sweet reminders about how it was my day, etc. Truly & honestly look no further ♥️
Merve was brought in by my main make up artist and she killed it! I would recommend her to anyone! She even did my mom who is not very keen on make up.
The second I met Merve I knew she was going to be a joy to work with! She is so kind and very professional. She also makes you feel like one of her friends that she’s known for yea...
rs! I had Merve do my bridal shower makeup, wedding, and baby shower. The way she makes my skin look and feel is flawless. Can’t not say enough wonderful things about her!!
I first came across Merve as a bridesmaid at one of my best friend’s wedding. My makeup was flawless and stayed the entire night. Since then, she is someone I trust to provide the ...
highest quality of service and makeup application to anyone I recommend. Merve is beautiful, both inside and out, and has never failed to make me feel the same. At my trial, she gave me a look that was perfect and timeless. Merve provided wedding makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, and my mother and was always accommodating to my large group. She brought in another artist to help and handled all the back-end details to facilitate the process. I couldn’t have been happier with the results, and I know everyone else was equally satisfied. Merve listens to your requests and moves through the wedding process and the day of getting ready period with a calm, collected, stress-free, positive attitude. Merve, thank you for all that you are and for all that you do!! Xoxo.
Working with Merve was such a positive experience. She is kind, prompt, responsive, and adaptable. She took deep care with the makeup application of all of my bridesmaids and famil...
y (ages ranging from 25 to 65). She was such a professional. I'd recommend her to anyone.
From my initial introductory phone call through the wedding day process, Merve and her team were exceptional! Not only sweet but extremely professional! Merve responded to all my e...
mails with the utmost efficiency and reassurance. She was on time (driving over two hrs to the venue) and arrived with energy and patience. Although there was no bride, Merve worked on both mothers of the grooms, and their siblings. We looked exactly the way we wanted to look…natural with just a touch of glam. Her hairstylist was equally fantastic. I have curls and was a bit nervous. I was continuously reassured that the stylist knew how to handle them. And boy did she!!! I received so many compliments!! I could not recommend Merve and her team high enough!! Absolutely fantastic!!!
Merve was the best and easiest to work with from beginning to end!!
Merve was amazing!! She did my makeup for my wedding along with the bridesmaids, my mother and MIL. She was right on time even when I had an early morning and she finished early to...
o. I would recommend her to anyone for a wedding.
Merve was amazing for our wedding up in Hunter New York. I do not like wearing make up and I never wear foundation. My fear was that I would not look like myself on our wedding d...
ay. Merve listened to my concerns and my wishes to look like an elevated version of myself and she did deliver.
During my trial, I felt she made me feel at ease and did an incredible job explaining what she was doing and how it would look in photos. She also did make up for 4 bridesmaids and both mine and my husbands mothers. Everyone looked flawless. The make up held up from 1:30PM until long into the after-after party (4AM!!) and everyone was saying how good my make up still looked.
I wholeheartedly cannot recommend Merve enough - you are crazy to not book her for your wedding!
Merve is a true magician! I originally found her through social media & she could not have been nicer & more willing to make our wedding day work!
For the trial, she made sure I ...
was comfortable & confident in the vision she created. We went lighter on the makeup and discussed the enhancements I wanted for wedding day! She was extremely communicative and helpful prior to the big day- even sharing lipstick suggestions for my Mother in Law to pick up prior (for late night touchups only).
On the day of, she was a true gem. She kept a completely positive attitude, handled family members who err’ed on the side of difficult and eased any and all stresses of the day. She took her time on every single bridesmaid and made everyone feel special, beautiful & confident. And boy did that makeup last ALL day long! My maid of honor had her makeup applied first and it lasted a full 24 hours as we partied all night at the after party. My makeup-- including the lipstick-- lasted ALL day long through the numerous tears that I shed throughout the day.
I could not recommend Merve enough. Her professionalism, skill at her craft, and upbeat and positive attitude were immeasurable and a true highlight of the big day. I would highly recommend her services to add an extra special element to your day. Just having her there and knowing she over-delivers on her specialty is incredible. Trust her and trust her process- you’ll be flawless every time!
THE BEST! Merve did an incredible job as my bridal makeup artist. She was on time, efficient, accommodating, communicative and supportive throughout the entire process. She saw my ...
vision and brought it to life! Merve also made the best recommendations for me on my big day. Additionally, she added incredible members to my team for our big day with a short amount of notice. She made me feel so beautiful and I'm so grateful for her. Would 100000% recommend for any bride or person looking for a main makeup artist. I'll continue using her for any event I have in the future.
Have worked with Merve a few times and each time has been better than the last! She is so talented with all levels of makeup that you desire and is such a pleasure to work with!
Merve is such a talented makeup artist! I am beyond thrilled with her artistry, attention to detail and genuine kindness. She epitomizes top notch professionalism. She listened to ...
my opinion and took in all of my inspiration pictures. A true makeup artist can take an inspiration picture and translate the best parts of the look for the individual faces of their clients. Merve did just that! I’m still swooning over the looks she created for me during my trail and wedding day!

tual, and talented!
I loved having the opportunity to do a trial run leading up to the big day, and my entire bridal party (mom's included!) agreed that it was the best professional makeup anyone has ever had! Merve was so friendly and was able to hone in on the exact look that everyone wanted while also keeping it fresh & not overdone. I cannot wait to have my makeup done by Merve B. again in the future and I'd recommend her to ANYONE looking for a gorgeous face for any occasion. Brides take note!!
Merve was amazing! I did a makeup trial with her and then immediately booked her for my entire bridal party. The day of the wedding she was extremely efficient and helped us to act...
ually be ahead of schedule. Everyone loved their makeup and it lasted the entire day. We had a range of different skin tones and textures and she was able to work with everyone individually to create a beautiful and lasting look.
Merve is absolutely incredible. She did my sister's wedding & when it was time for mine, I had NO question. My make-up was absolutely perfect! Merve is such a kind & gentle soul. M...
y husband commented over & over about how great my make-up looked. She noticed my wedding day jitters and just spoke to me like an old friend. My bridesmaids were beyond happy with her work. My mother and mother-in-law got their make-up done as well & they looked absolutely beautiful. We all have different skintones and she mastered each one. Do yourself a favor and book with her!
Merve did make up for mine, my sister's, her best friend's and another dear friend's wedding. That should sum it up! She's an absolute dream to work with. She is so attentive that ...
she even noticed when the nerves of my big day started to kick in, and she stopped doing my make up to help me work on an exercise to ease those nerves. Not only did I look my absolute best, I FELT my absolute best. I would recommend her to anyone at any time!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Merveb makeup! I honestly don't know where to begin! From my first trial, to my bridal shower, and then to the most important day, my wedd...
ing, she was the sweetest, most honest woman. She listened to exactly what I wanted and then worked her magic ! I'm the girl that never wears makeup... ever, so for her to make me feel comfortable in a full face of makeup was pretty amazing for me! The first time I saw myself in the mirror I cried tears of happiness because I had never felt so beautiful ! I will always use Merveb makeup for all of my special events !
My wedding was on May 13 of 2017 and i had the pleasure of Merve doing my makeup. She did such a fantastic job not only on me but on my mother and two maids of honor. She has such ...
a great eye for this, she know exactly what colors will look great on you and she takes her time to make sure everything is perfect before she is done. By the end of the night i had people coming up to me and complementing me how great my make up looked like i had just got it done, and it was 11 hours later. I believe that is one of the best complements someone can give you! If you are getting married or have an event to go to i would highly recommend Merve, she is not only great to talk to but she is very good at her job and very easy going!
Merve is great - not only is she very talented and a great make up artist she also is so positive and helps to make you look and feel your best !!! I highly recommend her to anyone...
