Melissa is so talented and so was her team that she brought with her on my wedding day! All 3 makeup artists made everyone feel beautiful and really listened to what it was that they were looking for. I also had Melissa do my makeup for my bridal shower and couldn't have been happier with how I looked for my shower and wedding day! She is also so nice and I genuinely enjoyed having her there with me on my wedding morning! Love her and her work!

I’ve never looked more beautiful than my wedding day! I love looking at my pictures and admiring my makeup. Melissa was so easy to work with- from my trial (for my shower) to the day of. My makeup was exactly what I wanted, and my bridesmaids and my mom all looked beautiful. My mom was particularly nervous about how an artist could work with her skin and she was beyond happy with her makeup, couldn’t stop raving about it. Can’t recommend Melissa enough!!

ng day. She really knows how to enhance your natural beauty with a subtle amount of makeup. She even recommended products for my sensitive skin. My mom and all of my bridesmaids were obsessed with how their makeup came out and got so many compliments all night. Not only is she an incredible makeup artist, she is a gem to be around. Super sweet, professional and timely. I can’t recommend her enough!

a ton of makeup. We first did a trial together for my bridal shower, and we then took that look to enhance/perfect the details to my look for my wedding day! She’s so easy going and definitely made me feel at-ease. I knew I could trust her to make me, my mom, and my bridesmaids feel beautiful on my wedding day.

ng day. I felt confident and a little glam but natural, where I still felt like I looked like myself. I didn’t once stress about how my makeup looked all day long and it lasted all night on the dance floor. She was also such a calming presence in the bridal suite and came totally prepared, on time, and ready to go. She was so patient with me when I had to step away to talk to someone a few times during the makeup session and still absolutely nailed my makeup. I remember looking in the mirror for the first time after she was done and feeling so happy and emotional because it was exactly what I wanted and I felt so comfortable in my skin. She also gave me some great advice during my trial and afterward to help make sure my skin was prepped and ready for my wedding day and adjusted the look based on feedback following the trial perfectly. I couldn’t recommend her more for your bridal makeup!

Melissa did my make up for my engagement photos, wedding, and most recently my baby shower. I use her over and over again because she is professional, attentive, listens to what I ...

want, and is excellent at what she does. She has made me feel beautiful for all of my important events, and I highly recommend her for any bride who wants to feel their best on their very special day. I cannot say enough great things about her as a person or the beautiful work that she does!

dding. Having been in dozens of weddings before my own, I thought I knew what to expect but Melissa went above and beyond. Every decision was thoughtful and intentional. Down to mixing two lipstick shades to get the *perfect* color. I truly have never felt more beautiful than I did that day. After my trial I was obsessed with my makeup, I didn’t want to wash it off. During the trial, she took her time, addressed my concerns, and experimented so I could be absolutely positive I loved my look. The morning of my wedding, Melissa needed no reminding, no management, no double checking, she simply executed flawlessly - all while giving best friend energy to a somewhat anxious bride. Her talent is truly unmatched and her demeanor and spirit make her the best investment you’ll make. If you’re considering booking Melissa, do it fast because or another lucky bride will snatch her up before you have a chance to think twice. I can say without hesitation she was the best decision I made.
