Meredith Hayman, Makeup Artist

fun person to spend time with. She was very receptive to my feedback and willing to adjust things as I requested. I wish I could put her in my pocket and have her do my makeup every day!

r best. During my trial, she patiently worked with me on finding the best color(s) to match our natural beach wedding. On our wedding day, Meredith was prompt, efficient and light-hearted making the morning that much more fun. She was able to do makeup (that lasted all night) for myself, both mothers, and 6 bridesmaids with time to spare, nailing the light and ethereal look we all wanted, while giving each of us our own “pop.” I highly recommend Meredith for so many reasons – professional, talented, intelligent, prompt, flexible, efficient, super fun, and more!

ook I wanted and did an amazing job! She was also able to understand each of my bridesmaid's visions (they wear various amounts of makeup) and everyone looked perfect! Her professionalism and warm personality made the entire experience and process seamless. I can't recommend her highly enough!!

not stop raving about them! She was so fun to have during the getting ready process and all of our makeup looked gorgeous and lasted the entire night. What I love about Meredith is that she touched everyone up before she left and we all appreciated it. I cannot recommend Meredith enough to any bride!

keup by 2pm. She offers a very fresh look so you don't feel overdone, but it will last you the whole night long. She listens to your makeup wants and needs and provides friendly conversation while doing it. We were married at the Red Maple Vineyard, so she was able to meet us at the Marriott Courtyard Poughkeepsie. She was on time and a pleasure. Thank you Meredith!!

light. She asks you what make up you usually wear, asks you for pinterest images of girls make up you like, makes you a better version of self both at the trial and the day of, and always checks in to see if like or not or if want less or more. The day of the wedding she came early, brought tunes, straws so we didn’t ruin or lip gloss, a touch up bag, and passed down family tradition from her mom good luck coin. My sister found Meredith online for her wedding. Meredith did such a beautiful job for my sis, mom, and sis’s bridemaids at my sis’s wedding that I asked Meredith if would do mine to which she said yes and I was so lucky, grateful, and thankful for. I would work with her again and would recommend her to anyone I know. If only she could pop out of my makeup bag every day ;).

only did the makeup look great in pictures but it lasted for the entire day and night. The eyelashes even lasted for days! She worked quickly and efficiently and made sure there was time for touch-ups and never seemed stressed or rushed. Beyond the beautiful makeup what I was the most impressed with was what a pleasure Meredith was to work with. She is an incredibly sweet person with a very calming presence. On what can be a stressful day, it was wonderful to have someone who was so happy, relaxed, and attentive around. I would highly highly recommend her!

y with their makeup. It was a rainy day but all of our makeup stayed put all day and late into the night. Meredith is also such a genuinely nice and fun person, that you feel at ease with her the moment you meet her. Do yourself a favor and look no further for your wedding makeup artist. Hire her, you'll be so glad you did.

rt. She was amazing at respecting the fact that I wanted to look natural but also like a bride. She was there right on time on the day of the wedding and was part of the crew, making all of the girls laugh and ensuring that we had a good time. I also think that her prices are really reasonable. Would recommend Meredith to anyone that wants to look beautiful without breaking the bank!

le to execute and give each of us exactly what we wanted. She is a true professional. She also did her ‘Flower Girl Special’ for my two twin cuties and they were in heaven! My makeup did not move the entire night. I only reapplied my lip color once in 10 hours and everything else literally did not budge. My guests were commenting at the after party that I looked exactly the same as when I walked down the aisle. Awesome! Meredith is also a great energy to have in the room while you are getting ready. She is super fun and positive and makes everyone feel special and beautiful. She is very communicative and responsive and was really helpful in my search to find the perfect lip color – lots of emails and suggestions. I would jump at the chance to book her for any wedding or special event! Thank you, Meredith!

appiness. Meredith did a great job of listening to what I was looking for during the bridal makeup trial and come the day of the wedding, it was perfect! Everyone in the party really enjoyed working with Meredith and loved how their makeup turned out. I was really impressed with how well the makeup stayed, yet still felt and looked natural. The touch-up kit she provided was awesome and very easy to use!

nd I were all very happy with how our makeup turned out. Our makeup lasted all night—as Meredith said it would—and looked great in photographs. I booked Meredith based on all of her positive reviews on WeddingWire and The Knot prior to even having a makeup trial with her. I ended up having a makeup trial with Meredith two months before my wedding and she was very receptive to feedback to ensure that my makeup was exactly how I wanted it on my wedding day. During the wedding planning process, she was very easy to work with via e-mail and was very professional and responsive. On top of being a very talented makeup artist, Meredith is extremely friendly and has a great personality!

ing and another one month before the wedding, and she was able to easily adapt to the change in look that I was going for. Meredith’s positive personality kept all of us upbeat and excited as we were getting ready for the ceremony…even when it looked like thunderstorms would keep us from getting married outside (they didn’t!). I would recommend Meredith to any bride getting married in the tri-state area…or anywhere else! She really is the perfect mix of professionalism and fun. Even though my wedding is now over, I plan to use Meredith’s services again for everyday makeup lessons!

with since I contracted her a year ahead (brides - book her early!). What stood out to me with Meredith was her professionalism, positive yet realistic attitude, and thoroughness from the moment we began discussing my wedding. I am a professional event planner and have worked with hundreds of vendors, and she shined with her personality and friendly demeanor. She offered valuable advice during my trial and wedding day, and genuinely showed interest in my fiance, our wedding day and futures. Her work was beautiful - she gave my bridesmaids and I fresh, natural looks, and all the girls loved her! I can't thank Meredith enough for being part of the most amazing day of my life. She helped calm my nerves, kept the order of things in check, and her aura was one of the highlights of the "getting ready" process. It seemed like everyones moods lifted as if they had a mini pep talk after they were done with makeup with Meredith! She's the kind of woman you want to have over for cocktails, and the kind of woman you can talk to about anything and everything. She "gets it". Highly, highly recommend Meredith for weddings, special events, parties, etc.

cited about it & made me look fabulous. From the trial to emailing beforehand to the day of she was a pleasure to work with. I had some picky bridesmaids & she was able to accommodate them as well ;). She is a genuinely funny, bubbly & extremely warm/nice person & helped me stay calm on my big day. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist for the most memorable day of my life, please use her!

10 yrs younger!!! Meredith is a very warm, caring person who did a great job with the make up and calming us all down. I would definitely recommend Meredith for any wedding or special occasion.

to her home for a trial and it was lovely. She did a beautiful job and helped me look my best self. I looked like me and wasn't too done up. She took my suggestions and what I wanted into consideration and didn't mind that I added my two cents. Was so happy to have found her!

our engagement shoot and gave me a flawless face for our wedding. She was able to create the exact look that I was describing and my makeup held up all day and night. Every bride wants to look like the most beautiful version of herself on her wedding day, and Meredith makes that happen. She is very open and urges you to be honest with her about how you feel about what she's doing. She stops as here and there to show you to ensure you're comfortable with the look she's creating. And if you want to add or change something, it's simple. She also takes pictures of you in different lights to show you how the makeup will photograph-very helpful. Meredith did such a great job making my girls and I look our best. I have never gotten so many compliments as I did on my wedding day!

ith is awesome and extremely talented. My makeup was immaculate and lasted all through the day and night. My girls were so happy with their makeup as well. Go with Meredith - You'll be so happy you did! Bonus: Meredith's personality is just as great!!

ll in love with Meredith's charm, wonderful personality and thoughtfulness. She listened to my ideas and utilized the pictures I brought to create the perfect look I wanted for my makeup for the wedding. I went to her for my makeup for my engagement photos and I still get compliments today about how my eyes pop in every picture and how gorgeous, yet natural my makeup looked. She has an amazing talent and is perfect at her craft. She did the makeup for my 7 Bridesmaids, mom, mother-in-law, and myself on my wedding day and we ALL look flawless and beautiful. My bridesmaids remarked on how well our makeup lasted throughout the ENTIRE day and how you didn't even feel it on your face, which was a huge plus since it was so hot out that day. Meredith even made me a makeup kit for the wedding day which was super special. She catered to the individual needs of myself, my mom, mother-in-law, and my bridesmaids on the look we each wanted for our makeup and achieved our individual visions perfectly. I felt the most beautiful on my wedding day because of Meredith. She became part of the family the day of my wedding and is a true, genuine, charismatic person. She is super prompt with email responses and has such reasonable pricing. I would highly recommend her over any other makeup artist out there. She's a true professional and I can't thank her enough for making me look perfect on my wedding day.

utiful on my wedding day. After doing makeup for 11 other people, I figured she would be exhausted by the time she got to my makeup, but she made sure that I looked absolutely perfect! Meredith - Thank you for being supportive during the whole morning of the wedding, for making me laugh, for telling me secrets about marriage, and for making all the important ladies in my life look gorgeous. I can't thank you enough! xoxo

rfect makeup application made me look and feel like the best version of myself for my big day. Many of my guests complimented my makeup, saying I didn’t look overly made up and that I still looked like myself, which was so important to me! Meredith has such a warm, energetic and fun personality, and really made me feel happy and at ease on my wedding day! She is so talented and I knew I was in good hands, plus she had me laughing throughout the whole makeup application. My makeup really looked amazing in all of our pictures and lasted through a humid and rainy summer day. From my trial and bridal shower through my wedding day, it has been a wonderful experience working with Meredith. I highly recommend her to all brides hoping to look like the best versions of themselves on their wedding day, and hoping to have fun in the process, too! Thanks for everything, Meredith!

er reading some great reviews I called Meredith who I was sure would already be booked. And in fact she was only available because she had a prior family commitment on my wedding day. However, after hearing my sob story she said she would move things around and would be able to be there on my wedding day! She saved the day! I am actually grateful that I had the bad experience with the first make up artist because it lead me to Meredith. So my first experience was actually “a blessing in disguise!” I truly felt like the best version of myself on my wedding day and that is in huge part thanks to Meredith! My mom, mother in law, and some bridesmaids also got there make up done and everyone was really happy with their looks. And not only did our make up look beautiful, but Meredith added a great, fun, positive, energy to the morning! I dreamed of a laid back, fun morning of getting pretty with my girls and drinking mimosas on my wedding and that is exactly what I got. AND Meredith is prepared for anything - she had safety pins and double sided tape on hand that we used for my mom’s dress and she left me with an adorable and useful kit of things before she left us for the day. My husband and I are actually taking some wedding photos again later this month and Meredith will be doing my make up again at her home studio! I am sure that anytime I need my make up done in the future I will go back to Meredith! If you want to look like the most beautiful version of yourself on your wedding day call Meredith!

stions. During the trial Meredith perfectly executed what I was looking for the first time. She went slow and asked a lot of questions along the way to make sure I was happy with it and see if there was anything I wanted to change. Meredith was great at keeping in touch throughout the months between the trial and my wedding. I worry a lot about timing and details, and she took care of all of that beforehand so I didn't have to. On the day of, she came and set up, and even brought music to set the tone. Meredith is fabulous! She is so personable, charming and flexible. I had to add a few people to get their makeup done closer to the wedding, and she had no problem scheduling it in. The day of she even did a little something for the flowergirl, which was so sweet! She did such a fantastic job. Everyone looked wonderful, and my makeup was flawless and natural just as I had hoped. Everyone commented on how good it looked. She gives you a touch-up kit, which I really did not even have to use. My make-up looked just as good at the end of the night as it did in the beginning! I would love to work with Meredith again, and I would highly recommend her!! Thank you Meredith!

ff false lashes and a sixpence sticker to put in my shoe ;) She put everyone at ease and made everyone look beautiful. I couldn't recommend her enough!

knew that I had to have her for my wedding. Not only is she great at what she does, but she has the best personality and makes everyone feel at ease. On my wedding day my makeup was flawless. Meredith is great at listening to what you want and making tweeks along the way to make sure you are 100% happy with the finished product. My makeup looked fabulous, without being overdone, and lasted all day and night. The only thing I ever had to touch up was my lipstick. Not only did she do my makeup but also my mother and my three bridesmaids. Everyone was so impressed with her and very happy with how great they all looked! I would recommend Meredith to anyone looking for a makeup artist for their wedding.

ing feedback she received, I decided to schedule a make-up trial with Meredith for myself and my mom and I am so glad I did!! We went to her studio on the day of the trial and I immediately knew she was the right person for the job - she was so friendly, she took time listening to both of us, reviewing different potential looks and really made an effort to LISTEN and work with us until we each achieved a look we loved. As a neurotic bride in the middle of planning a wedding, she really put my mind at ease by finding my perfect day-of look. I was so pleased with the trial that I had my bridesmaids and mother-in-law book her services as well. Leading up to the big day she continued to send me bridal beauty tips and on the day of the wedding, she arrived at the venue right on time, set up her make-up and was ready to rock! She did full makeup for myself (the bride) my mom, my mother-in-law, and four bridesmaids and everyone looked truly stunning!! I am so happy with the outcome because I felt beautiful and looked so in the pictures as well! If you are looking for the perfect day-of look and a great wedding party experience by a true professional, look no further. Meredith was great and will be my go-to for all future events!!

to my house the day of the wedding, and did my makeup and 4 bridesmaids singlehandedly and finished right on time!!! she knows just what colors to use if you aren't sure, and she can make any vision you have come to life. she's fabulous! my makeup lasted all night and she provides a little touch up kit for just-in-cases :)

plete with some dance tunes for me and my bridesmaids and mom to enjoy while we got ready. Meredith's work was flawless - we all looked like the best version of ourselves and everyone photographed beautifully. She had so much patience for every request, even making last-minute changes when one of my bridesmaids decided she needed "a little more eye" - after she had already packed up! Her bright and sunny demeanor made my wedding morning completely stress-free and so much fun, and I can't thank her enough for her wonderful work!

as well as how it photographs. On the day of, Meredith could not have been more fun to hang out with - she kept me happy and stress-free with some tunes and upbeat attitude. As for the make-up - it was absolute perfection. I have never felt so pretty and confident - however, still felt that I looked like me. My mother and bridesmaids also got tons of compliments as well, so great job all around. I would recommend Meredith to others in a heartbeat! She's a true professional and just a joy to be around :)

oked beautiful through the whole day and night thanks to Meredith. I was very happy with her and would recommend her to any bride!

olors we landed on a perfect palette. On my wedding day I can honestly say I have never felt more beautiful, and that was because Meredith knew how to create a natural, glowing look that held up the whole night. Her fun, bubbly personality was an added bonus -- she's just so much fun to be around!

keup artist for our wedding. This was a huge decision because from nights out to my figure competitions on stage, I always do my own makeup. Meredith exceeded all expectations and made all my bridesmaids look and feel gorgeous. Meredith listened to each girls’ wants and achieved a look each girl was incredibly happy with. As a bride, I felt the most beautiful I have ever felt in my life. My makeup was flawless, my eyes popped in every photo and my lashes not only looked great but held all day, all night, and the following day for brunch. I look at pictures and cannot believe how beautiful our wedding party looks; the makeup was stunning. Meredith is incredibly caring and thoughtful and is always honest – this is one of my favorite characteristics of Meredith. She listens and helps you achieve a look that is completely customized to look the very best on you. There is certainly no “one color fits all” when it comes to Meredith. We want to thank Meredith, from the bottom of our hearts, for the incredible job she did for our wedding. She is incredible and we highly recommend her for any bride seeking the highest quality look on her wedding day.

ing makeup, making sure no one left her chair unhappy or uncomfortable with her glammed-up look! All of us received compliments on the beautiful eye makeup looks she created for all of us, and all of the girls' eyes popped in pictures! Further, Meredith's bubbly personality created a fun yet calming atmosphere for the bridal party throughout the day. I could tell Meredith really enjoyed her job when she stuck around to excitedly see me in my dress and all of us girls in our finished looks! Meredith has a fantastic vision and talent for makeup that would make any bride happy.

ted well. Also, she has personal touches like a card in the touch up kit.

ing day (as well as my vision for my bridesmaids) and she created it exactly. I cannot say enough positive things about Meredith. As if her beautiful make-up work wasn't enough, her personality makes her that much more of a pleasure to work with. She is such a fun and sweet woman, ensuring that you are comfortable and relaxed for your big day. If you are thinking of using Meredith, I would HIGHLY recommend her. I'm already trying to think of other occasions to use Meredith for!!

. She did such an incredible job. I got so many compliments on my wedding day, and she was such a pleasure to work with. She arrived on time, pleasant and ready to go, she came to us at the ceremony/reception site. Meredith in I swear record time did full make up on me and my 7 bridesmaids. And everyone looked extrodinary. And she was just so enjoyable throughout the morning. I could not have asked for more but she gave it! We even got little pouches with touch-ups in case of emergency and tissues, which were definitely used. I would definietly recommend her to all my friends and family, and they were already asking before hte end of the wedding.

ng. Her fees are very reasonable, and she truly loves what she does!

working she was from the initial email to the trial to the wedding day! My family and friends couldn't believe we had found such an amazing person to work with. We couldn't be any happier with the wedding day- and that was largely due to her. She was professional, yet fun. Hardworking, yet patient..and most importantly made us all look absolutely stunning! Our makeup stayed perfectly in place all day and the girls were so pleased with how everything turned out! She is so talented and personable and I couldn't have asked for a better person to spend the morning of my wedding with! She made our wedding day such a special and memorable day!

e bridal party. Everyone was quite content with the way their makeup turned out. The pictures came out beautiful.

rence, not only in her skills but also in how confident and professional she was. On the day of my wedding, Meredith did a phenomenal job with my makeup and also my mom and three bridesmaids. Everyone's makeup lasted all night, there were no complaints, and everyone looked awesome. Meredith is super sweet and very comfortable to be around. If she is available for your wedding, stop looking around and just book her! You will not be disappointed.
