Meyglys
Makeup Artist
Meyglys did a few of my bridesmaids’ makeup, and she is amazing! So grateful we had her there. She was helpful, organized, communicative, and so talented!
I genuinely cannot rave about this girl enough! For starters, her pricing is unbeatable. Other MUA’s will charge you significantly more for far less. Her all-inclusive price for airbrush makeup and lashes is honestly the definition of an incredible beauty service.
I’m 27, and I’ve been a bit of a beauty guru since I was 13. I’ve always loved makeup and have spent countless hours watching tutorials, experimenting with different techniques, and perfecting my own makeup application. Because of that, I was actually pretty hesitant to hire an MUA for my wedding. I was worried I would prefer my own techniques or feel like the makeup didn’t look like “me.”
On top of that, when you look through most MUA’s social media pages, you see a lot of very natural, soft-glam looks. And while that’s beautiful, that could NOT be me. I’m a full-glam girl through and through! 😂
When I told Meyglys that I wanted a full-glam look with a smoky eye and sent her my inspiration pictures, she immediately said, “Yes!” And she absolutely delivered. I have genuinely never felt so glamorous. My makeup looked exactly how I envisioned it, and honestly, there is no way I could have done a better job myself. She somehow took everything I love about my own makeup style and elevated it to another level.
She was also incredibly kind and welcoming to me and all of my girls. Everyone who had their makeup done that day absolutely loved their final look. She communicated so well throughout the entire process and was always incredibly responsive and timely—I was never left on “sent” for days wondering what was going on.
She was also extremely organized and sanitary throughout the entire process, which made such a difference on an already busy wedding morning. Even with multiple faces needing to be completed, the quality of her work never once felt rushed or diminished. She maintained the same level of care and attention to detail from the first person to the last.
If you’re looking for a talented, professional, organized, and genuinely kind MUA—especially if you’re a full-glam girlie like me—BOOK HER. You will not regret it! 💕

Congratulations to all you newly engaged couples!
Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I was born and raised in NYC. Recently my fiance proposed! We were in a long distance relationship for 2.5 years. We decided I would be the one to move which is why I now live in Minnesota!
I'm excited to explore what the Midwest has to offer! My ethnicity is Hispanic so I am bilingual. I speak English and Spanish fluently.
I love staying active. I'm a former Track & Field athlete, my event was hurdles. I enjoy hiking and last year picked up snow boarding.
