Melanie and her team where wonderful to work with. They really took the time to get to know me and my style. I really appreciate how much they did to make me feel beautiful and confident on my big day. From hair to makeup, they made not only myself feel beautiful but my mom and 5 bridesmaids as well. They are thoughtful and extremely knowledgeable. I would highly recommend their services to any brides looking.

Melanie was the makeup artist for our family wedding in Park City Utah last weekend. She does an incredible job of making each person feel and look amazing. Her professionalism shows through in all her work starting with communication all the way through the wedding day. The bride,our new daughter in law was thrilled with her look for her wedding day. Beautiful, natural and stunning. Melanie takes the time to understand and know the person and is able to create a custom look for everyone. My mother’s and my makeup created by Melanie were just what we wanted and we felt so pretty! Melanie is a true artist and such a pleasure to work with. Top notch experience all the way around.
I worked with Melanie for both my engagement and wedding photos and she was absolutely amazing! She is so kind, attentive to detail, and dedicated to her work. She reviewed my photos beforehand and we came up with personalized makeup plans for each photo session. I felt so beautiful for the engagement photoshoot and on my wedding day! She also did my mom and sister's makeup and they both looked amazing. I would recommend Melanie as an excellent makeup artist to any person!

Thank you so very much Nicole! There was a lot of love in that hotel suite on your wedding day! So many beauties, it made my work a pleasure. I am honored by your kind words. Wishing you and Erin all the best !
Melanie was so great to work with and she does such beautiful work. I'm glad that I have her to refer my clients to.
Melanie did a fantastic job for makeup for my wedding. She was so incredibly sweet and made everyone feel beautiful for the big day. She knows how to really bring out everyone's beautiful features and make you feel amazing. She is so kind and helpful. My hair stylist canceled a month before the wedding and she hopped on the phone to help me find a replacement fast! I cannot recommend her enough for any makeup needs!
I absolutely loved working with Melanie and her assistant, Victoria, for my wedding!! We had a total of 11 people get makeup done and EVERYONE loved the end results. Melanie heard my vision and ran with it, giving long lasting and beautiful results! Not to mention, Melanie and Victoria were just such fun to be around and helped keep the atmosphere as stress-free as possible.

Oh Erika,
Thank you! and ty for being one of the most chill and naturally beautiful brides ever! Wishing you and Trey the absolute best in your new life together! Melanie
Melanie did my makeup for my wedding and did an amazing job! As a woman who does not usually wear a lot of makeup, I wanted a look that was natural and still looked like me, but was glamorous enough for my special day. Melanie delivered exactly what I was looking for! I highly recommend her!

Hi Jennifer!
So happy that you loved the natural but glam makeup and I so appreciate your kind words:)
Thank you so much!
Melanie did my makeup for Homecoming. She did an amazing job and did the exact look I wanted. She was very sociable and I was beyond pleased!
Melanie,
Did my makeup for my Bat Mitzvah, she also did my mom’s makeup as well as my two aunts. We all had so much fun and Melanie made us all look so beautiful. I was nervous for my Bat Mitzvah but Melanie was very calm and helped me be too. ❤️
Melanie has been AMAZING during this process. I had my first trial recently, and she took the time to perfect the look that I was dreaming of. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for, paid attention to details that I didn't even think of, and made me feel beautiful! All of the colors that she picked worked perfectly together, and she went above and beyond to costimize products for me. The makeup that she used matched my skin perfectly and felt amazing on my skin. I'm so excited to have her do my makeup for my special day! 💗

YOU have to be one of my favorite brides of all time! Thank you for everything.
Wishing you the best!
Melanie has amazing talent and knowledge when it comes to make up, brands, technique and uses quality items. Melanie was able to look at the pictures I provided and reproduce them in a natural way. Melanie was even flexible in scheduling the trial so I could use it for my engagement photos. Everyone loved their make up and giving a tube of the lipstick used is such an amazing option so my bridesmaids could touch up all day! I felt stunning on my wedding day thanks to Melanie and her team and it held up even in the heat of an outdoor August wedding!
