I seriously can’t recommend Emily and her team at Melt Makeup enough. From the start, she was so thoughtful and intentional. She took the time to help me find products that worked best for my skin and made me feel like the best version of myself.
She also did makeup for me, my mom, and my sister for the rehearsal dinner, which was such a fun way to get some extra practice and try out a different look before the big day.
On the wedding day, Emily and her team did makeup for 13 (yes, 13) between 7:30 AM and noon, and somehow made it feel totally relaxed and fun the entire time. She was such a calming presence and honestly felt like one of the girls chatting, laughing, and keeping everything running smoothly without a hint of stress.
Everyone looked amazing, and the makeup held up beautifully all day. If you’re looking for someone who is incredibly talented and just an all-around awesome person to have by your side, book Emily.
I absolutely LOVED working with Emily for my bridal hairstyle. She was the most responsive out of every single one of my vendors and I appreciated her thorough attention to detail. I switched my style the week of and it was different than my trial, and it turned out exactly how I wanted on my big day!!! Super happy with how my bridesmaids looked and was super impressed with how quick she was able to have everyone done on time. I would recommend Melt Makeup to anyone looking for a stylist who is trustworthy, reliant, and flexible. Emily is the sweetest and she made my day so special by giving me the hair of my dreams!!!!
Would give 10000/10 if I could. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Emily and the incredible work she did on my mom’s hair and makeup for her wedding day. As an older bride with mature skin, my mom trusted Emily and let her work her magic, and she made my mom feel and look like the most beautiful bride imaginable. Emily delivered a flawless glam that my mom’s beauty and confidence.
From the moment Emily arrived, she was warm, professional, and incredibly personable, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Her attention to detail and ability to perfect any look, whether it's soft and romantic or bold and glamorous, really shines through in her work. Emily's years of experience and genuine love for what she does were evident in every detail from makeup to hair.
She didn’t just do my mom’s hair and makeup; she helped make the entire day more magical. My mom felt radiant and completely at ease, and that truly set the tone for the rest of the day.
I recommend Emily wholeheartedly for either her hair or makeup services. If you let her glam you on your wedding day, you’ll hit the bridal jackpot. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care for each client are unmatched, and I can’t imagine anyone leaving her chair without feeling like the most beautiful version of themselves. She’s a true artist, and any bride (or mother of the bride/bridesmaid!) would be lucky to have her on their special day.
Melt Makeup (Emily) absolutely crushed all the wedding looks on our special day. What I loved the most about her style is that, looking back on our photographs, I still look like me! Emily really knows how to make her brides shine and accentuate their features without the look overpowering the person. From inquiry to trial to wedding day, she was a great communicator, made me feel comfortable, and absolutely delivered. She even went as far as to help my dad touch up his fading eyebrows! I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Emily and Melt Makeup for your wedding day beauty needs.
I cannot recommend Emily enough! From the initial consultation to the final touches on my wedding day, everything was seamless and exceeded my expectations. She listened carefully to my vision, understood my style, and perfectly matched my look with the wedding’s aesthetic. The makeup was flawless, elegant, and felt so natural—it lasted all day and looked incredible in photos! She is truly an artist, enhancing natural beauty without feeling overdone. I received countless compliments, and I couldn’t have been happier. If you're looking for someone who will make you feel like the best version of yourself on your special day, go with Emily at Melt Makeup!
Emily is AMAZING! Not only is she the sweetest person, but she is incredibly talented. She has a wide range of capabilities to help you achieve your desired look. I put my full trust in Emily and she exceeded my expectations. This was especially unique as I did not have a trial appointment leading up to my wedding. I wanted a subtle glam and she crushed it! If you’re reading this review, stop what you’re doing, and go book her. :)
Emily was my hair/makeup artist for my wedding, and she was AMAZING! My trial was amazing, but she was happy to book a second one when I decided I wanted to change a few things about my look. I would not change ONE THING about my hair or makeup on my wedding day. She was easy to work with, super nice, and she is so talented! I told her my hair never holds a curl, and she assured me she'd get it done. Well, my curls lasted for THREE DAYS! 10/10, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, all of the ratings.
Emily is AMAZING! I took a big risk and flew her out to Montana without a trial, and it paid off big time. Not only is her work incredible, but she is such a joy to be around and made me feel so comfortable. I am obsessed with both of my looks, and my bridesmaids said it was the best HMU they have ever gotten done. I am SO glad she was with me on my big day!
Emily was absolutely fantastic and such a joy to work with on my special day. I was pretty indecisive and gave her details of a bunch of different inspirations and she killed it! She also did my bridesmaids, mom, and MIL and everyone loved it. She made me extremely comfortable on the day off and I couldn’t have asked for a better HMU artist 💕
Emily did such an amazing job with our wedding party! She really listened and made everyone look flawless. I cannot recommend her enough!
Emily gave me the messy bun of my dreams!! She is such a genuine individual and made sure she catered to each of us girls as individuals which made us all feel so special (as we all know - some makeup artists who tend to do a copy & paste but not Emily!)! She made me, my 5 bridesmaids and mine & my husband's mom feel so beautiful! I could not have asked for a better hair and makeup team for my Wedding!
I loved working with Emily! The whole process was super easy and organized. Despite not doing a full pre-bridal session, she absolutely nailed it based off inspo photos and asking me the right questions before the event. She was wonderful to work with in person day off. I highly recommend booking with her!
I can not recommend Emily enough. I had a destination wedding in Montana and never met Emily in person until she showed up the the morning of the wedding. With just one simple FaceTime and sharing my Pinterest hair and make up inspo she NAILED the perfect look for me. My hair was exactly what I pictured and my makeup was spot on for wanting simple and natural. Her second stylist Whitney was also fantastic and all of my bridesmaids were very satisfied with their looks as well.
Emily was so awesome! I am not a big makeup girl so I was a little nervous about getting my makeup done. She made me feel so comfortable and confident! She is so personable and amazing at creating a natural yet elegant glow. Highly recommend to every bride!
Emily from Melt Makeup did a phenomenal job with hair and makeup for the entire bridal party! The bridesmaids could not stop smiling in the mirror because of how beautiful they looked! As the bride from out of state, I did not do a hair and makeup trial. I was able to tell Emily want I wanted, and she completely delivered! I would highly recommend Melt Makeup for wedding hair and makeup!
Emily at Melt Makeup Co. was incredibly nice and quick to respond to my inquiry. During my bridal trial, I had no idea what I wanted. I told Emily to do what she thought was best and I loved how my makeup turned out. I couldn't have felt more beautiful on my wedding day. I have sensitive skin and allergies and Emily was extremely thorough and went through her products to ensure I wouldn't have any reactions to the makeup she used. Overall I couldn't have had a better experience with Emily at Melt Makeup Co. and would highly recommend her!
I got married in June, and Emily was awesome from the trial to the big day. Her communication from the start was great. Any concern or question I had, she quickly answered to put my mind at ease. She did both my hair and makeup, and asked me my thoughts throughout the process to make sure I was happy. She gave me so much added confidence. She also did my mom, and two brides maids hair which turned out great. It was so much fun having her be part of our day, and I would 100% recommend her to anyone!!
Emily did my hair and makeup for my wedding day and my bridesmaids hair and makeup and I couldn’t have been more happy with how it turned out. I have never had my makeup done by anyone other than myself so needless to say I was nervous. Emily listened to me every step of the way and did the best job making me feel extremely comfortable through the whole process. She took all my thoughts into account when perfecting my wedding look with our trial. Emily allowed me to feel beautiful and natural and completely and utterly happy with the work she did and eased my stress on the wedding day. 1,0000% recommend her she is a gem!
Emily has done my makeup many times and has blown me away every time! Her talent and creativity make her such an AMAZING artist to work with. Whether you know exactly what look you want or you're like me and have no clue, she will make you feel more confident and beautiful than you have ever felt! LOVE LOVE LOVE EMILY!!
Not only was Emily the only makeup artist I considered for my wedding day look, but she also is the only makeup artist I've ever worked with that made me feel THAT beautiful. Emily is so incredibly talented in her ability to highlight natural beauty while creating a full-glam look. She's also so receptive and positive about feedback, which is important when working with different insecurities that people have and don't want makeup to enhance. I've worked with a lot of makeup artists that have made me look nice, but not like myself. Not the case for Emily--the way she made me feel on my wedding day, truly looking like the best version of myself, is the greatest gift! I wish I could keep her in my back pocket to make me feel that confident every day!
Emily is phenomenal and made me feel like the most beautiful bride. Emily carefully listened to my wedding hair and makeup “must haves” and exceeded my expectations on absolutely everything and anything. Not only is she an amazing hair and makeup artist, she is kind, warm, and truly makes you feel so comfortable throughout the whole process. She was such a special part of my wedding day and made all my bridal looks come true!! ❤️❤️
