Michaela was professional and got to know me as a person which led to her making me feel beautiful on my wedding day! I did not want a lot of makeup (I do not wear any on a normal day) just wanted step things up a little and she knew exactly how to do it! I also have curly hair and needed her to tame it a little for the big day and she did just that. I appreciated all she did to make me into the beautiful bride I was that day!
Michaela is awesome! She really took her time and worked with me to create the perfect wedding day look! 10/10 recommend! Thank you so so much!
I had Michaela put on lashes, complete a spray tan and do my bridal makeup. Not only did she make it fun, she is professional and knowledgeable with following the desired look I requested! I wanted a natural glamorous look which was executed in a timely manner. Thank you so much for taking a load of stress off my plate the weeks leading up to the wedding. Her services are absolutely worth it!
Any questions?

Michaela is amazing! Not only is she a super talented makeup artist, she's so fun to work with! She nailed my engagement, rehearsal dinner and wedding day looks. On my wedding day, she arrived early which was extremely helpful with our wedding day timeline and kept things moving. Michaela is a delight, I enjoyed the process of getting ready and felt at ease / relaxed. I am so grateful she was part of my wedding day! THANK YOU Michaela!!!
Michaela was the best to work with! Weeks before the wedding, I did the bridal trial she offers and that made me feel so much more confident going into the day of. She did my make up and spray tan for my rehearsal dinner & wedding, and I was impressed with how easy it was and how straightforward she was about everything. She was so enjoyable to work with and easy to talk to. She was open with some things I wanted to modify with my makeup the day of. She also fit in one or two of my other bridesmaids that wanted their make up done on the day of after they saw how great everyone else’s looked. We all did the airbrush (first time) and loved it. It lasted the whole night. Would recommend to anyone!
Michaela did an amazing job on my makeup and all of the bridesmaids, mothers, and grandmothers makeup! She made us all look so natural and the makeup held up all night through lots of laughing and crying. She is very professional and I would highly recommend her for any wedding or event you want to look your absolute best for!
Michaela is the best out there! From the trial, to a spray tan, to the actual wedding day she was amazing. She is so professional and really makes sure you love how you look. She made myself and my bridal party look flawless. It was never awkward with her, she gets along with everyone! I just love her!
Michaela is amazing!!! She’s so fun and makes you feel so comfortable and above all, her make up skills are incredible. She was so great to work with, myself and all the girls loved her!! Would recommend her to any upcoming bride, she’s awesome!!!!
Michaela is simply amazing!!! She did mine and my bridal parties makeup for my wedding day. All of the girls, including myself, were raving about her. We all felt so confident and beautiful! Plus she is so kind, professional and punctual. I recommend her to everyone!
Michaela is outstanding. She did my engagement photo makeup, a spray tan, and my wedding makeup. I don't usually wear much makeup, but Michaela made sure I still looked very much like myself, just glammed up, just as I requested. I felt beautiful in all of my photos!
Michaela was so down to earth, made me so comfortable, and was incredibly knowledgeable! I would definitely recommend her for any lesson or event!
Michaela is amazing! Pays close attention detail. She gives amazingly helpful tips and recommendations while also perfectly illustrating the wishes of her clients. She’s truly an artist, her work is beautiful!
Michaela is amazing!!!!
Michaela and her second artist, Lyndsey, were incredible! There were 11 women, including myself, that they had to transform on my wedding day and everybody looked beautiful! They were both very efficient and personable. Michaela also did my lash extensions for my wedding and I loved them! They even held on during my tropical honeymoon. I would recommend her to anyone!
Michaela is the absolute best! She came to my venue in Goshen, KY to do the makeup for me and my bridesmaids. I knew my wedding day would be an emotional day, so I did the airbrush makeup because I wanted something that would last all day through the happy tears and also through all the dancing. My makeup looked flawless ALL DAY. By all day, I am talking 9am until I took it off at 11pm! It didn't smear or fade! I wanted a natural look, and she certainly delivered for me and all my bridesmaids!
She is not only a gifted makeup artist, but she is so genuine and so kind! By the time you are finished with her services, you feel like you've been friends with her for years. No doubt I will be using her again in the future!
I used Michaela for both of my daughter's weddings and she is Amazing! A total professional with a personal touch and so much fun to hang out with on your big day! Her makeup is flawless and she knows exactly what you want with just a few words. I highly, highly recommend Michaela for any occasion! She is a true artist with makeup and a total joy on your big day!
Michaela is amazing! She is such a talented and skilled makeup artist. I came to her for my engagement photos and have already booked her for my wedding next year! The airbrush was flawless and provided long lasting, full coverage, but natural looking results which is exactly what I was looking for. She listened to what I wanted and executed it perfectly! I cannot wait to be back in her chair!
Allow me to brag! You will not find a better make up artist from Lou to Cincy. She is prompt, funny and quick yet thorough! If you need a makeup artist Michaela is your girl.
It's no secret that Michaela's professionalism and talent are the reasons she is so respected in Louisville. She does everything in her power to make sure you're desired look is achieved. She's truly an artist!
My makeup lasted all day! I didn’t realize just how important this was until I was having sunset photos taken with my new husband over 12 hours later and my makeup STILL looked amazing!!! These photos will be hung in my home forever, and I didn’t have to worry about my makeup for a second that day. No touch ups needed. Michaela was super easy going and great to work with. She has a great and calming presence- perfect for a wedding day!
Michaela was amazing, and did a fantastic job. She and her assistant were on time, did a great job of making sure everyone was comfortable and happy with the way their makeup looked, and was easy to work with and keep in touch with! I'd recommend Michaela to any bride who is looking for a makeup artist!
Michaela is the chillest and the illest. She’s so talented and can literally cater to any look and any personality while making you feel so freaking beautiful. She agreed to do my sisters makeup with somewhat short notice and she looked amazing. I had a small wedding but I’d book her for anything ever. She is hands down the best. Pick her. Seriously.
Michaela was absolutely wonderful to work with! She is incredibly talented and was able to create exactly what I pictured for my makeup (which lasted all night!). She's funny, easy to talk to, and made getting ready for my wedding so much fun! Seriously, don't look anywhere else. Just hire her!
I found Michaela after I had a trial run with another artist that turned out to not be what I wanted. So going into my trial I was worried and had reservations!
The day of my trial I told her what I was looking for and what I didn’t want and she nailed it! She was so much fun to have around and brought a good vibe to my day!
Very talented and totally gave me the perfect glam vintage look I was wanting. My makeup stayed perfect till the next morning! After experiencing someone who said they were the best and then going to her and realizing that she is and was the best to work with!
Michaela was such a gem to work with! I first met her at my makeup trial and she was so open to what I wanted and suggested tweaks to make it even better. She made me feel so comfortable and most importantly made me look and feel like the best version of myself! Everyone in the bridal party raved about their makeup and everyone looked amazing all night! She was so much fun to be around and did everyone’s makeup in the perfect amount of time on the big day! Can not recommend her enough 💗💗💗 thank you Michaela!
Michaela was AMAZING. Everybody raved all day long about how much they loved their makeup and how natural it looked. It stayed on all night long and looked amazing!! Michaela makes you feel so comfortable, really listens to what you want done, and is so much fun! All of my bridesmaids have already said they can’t wait to hire her to do their wedding makeup!!
My bridal party and I absolutely LOVED our makeup!!! Michaela is a true artist and really knows how to accentuate each persons features. Beyond her unbelievable skill level, Michaela brings her awesome energy wherever she goes. It is so important to surround yourself with positive and laid back energy on your wedding day and Michaela definitely brings this to the table. She's the best!!!
Michaela was great! I had been in a wedding previously where she was our makeup artist and I knew I wanted to use her for my big day. She is reasonably priced and took care of my entire wedding party. I'm not huge on makeup and she made sure to take that into account when getting me ready for my big day. I felt so pretty once she was done with me. My entire wedding party looked great and I'm so glad we went with Michaela. She used airbrush and false lashes which was fun for everyone, we all got the royal treatment. She also came to us which was great and made the morning of the wedding much more relaxed. I'd highly recommend her to anyone!
Michaela was absolutely amazing to work with for my big day! She has a great personality and spends time getting to know each person. She was very efficient with her time. I would highly recommend getting your makeup done with Michaela for your wedding day!
Michaela did a fabulous job with our makeup!
I particularly appreciated that she listened to each of us and created individual looks that enhanced our own beauty. Michaela was easy to work with and I hope to use her services again! We looked natural and stunning all day!
Michaela is so talented! She made me feel so beautiful on my big day and my sisters looked just as amazing. In addition, she was super fun/happy! Getting to laugh with her and Brooke (my hairdresser) and my sisters made the day less nerve racking! I highly recommend her!!
I cannot say enough great things about Michaela! I had to plan my wedding from Virginia so I was not able to schedule my makeup trial until the week of my wedding. I was a little nervous having to do my trial so close to wedding day, but Michaela made all of those nerves disappear! She was so easy to talk to and she really captured the look I wanted for my wedding day. She made all of my bridesmaids as well as my mother and mother-in-law look so beautiful. Everyone could not stop talking about how much they loved their makeup! She also arrived on time to the hotel room, and stayed on schedule so we were all ready for the photographers when they arrived! I could not recommend her enough!

Thank you Ally! Loved working with you ladies!
Michaela did such an awesome job on my wedding makeup. I didn’t have a traditional wedding party, per se, but Michaela had no problem doing makeup for my friends and family who wanted it done. I so appreciated her flexibility and willingness to work with us. My makeup lasted all night long and I can’t recommend her enough.

Thank you so much Kimmie!
Michaela was the greatest to work with all around. She was flexible and accommodating to my schedule. She was so organized and understood what I was trying to describe of my vision before I did. She did a great job of keeping my make up specific to my personality but fit for a wedding, as well us using specific products to suit my outdoor wedding on a 90 degree day. All of my bridesmaids loved their make up and it was very obvious that she was great at customizing their looks to their personalities despite having only just met them. There is a reason everyone is trying to book her. She is hilarious and laid back, so it helps that she is also amazingly talented. I have recommended her to all my friends getting married and cannot imagine I would have been nearly as happy with anyone else on such an important and stressful day! She understands the art of subtle glitter if glitter is something you can't live without, like me :)
Michaela was absolutely amazing! Not only is she an incredible makeup artist, but she is so easy to talk to. She listened to my concerns about being overly made up, and I couldn't of been happier with the results for our wedding day. Plus, all of my bridesmaids looked gorgeous too! I couldn't recommend her more.
Michaela is the absolute best!! She is amazing at what she does and I received so many complements on my makeup. She is so easy to work with and made the day of my wedding so calm and stress free! I would recommend her to any brides looking for a makeup artist!!
Where to begin.. Michaela is awesome! She’s so personable and easy to work with. She truly listens to particular styles/wants and makes each girl stunning! She did my trial makeup for my engagement photos and my makeup was perfection! On my wedding day, she didn’t cease to amaze yet again and all my 10 bridesmaids looked beyond gorgeous and all our makeup stayed throughout the day and night of partying! I would highly recommend her! An added bonus is she has the sweetest pup named Winnie that is simply the best! A picture with Winnie is a must! Thank you Michaela! I look forward to working with you in the future!
Michaela is the best! Not only is she the most amazing make up artist, she is funny, personable, and quick to respond with answers to your questions. As someone who can do her own make up I am always hesitant to let someone else put make up on me. Michaela put me at ease and listened to me when I told her what I liked and didn’t like. Michaela did my make up for my engagement pictures, the trial for my wedding, and of course my wedding. She is reasonably priced for the incredibly work she does. I will definitely use Michaela again in the future.
Michaela made getting ready for my wedding a breeze and made me feel SO stress-free.
Not only is she an amazing make-up artist, but there's not an easier person to talk to! It was so nice to feel relaxed on such a nerve-filled day.
She knew exactly how to portray the specific look I was going for, and still made it feel as if I wasn't even wearing makeup. My makeup lasted ALL day too.
I cannot recommend her enough!
Always quick to answer any question I emailed, and so flexible!
I will always have my photos to look back on now, and will always love her work!
I cannot wait to work with Michaela on my big day! I had my bridal trial today and was blown away. I had a vague idea of what I wanted to look like, and she knew just what to do. I left feeling like a movie star. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation. Also, do yourself a favor and visit her home studio, she has the cutest puppy assistant!
Seriously the best makeup artist. Michaela is fun and extremely professional. I told her kind of what I was thinking, but I wasn't even really sure how to describe it. Its like she read my mind, and turned my makeup dream into a reality. I received so many compliments on my makeup. I felt like a model, and the makeup was so light, I felt like I wasn't even wearing any. I will never have anyone else do my makeup besides her.
Michaela did my makeup for my wedding this past weekend and she was AMAZING! She knew exactly what to do to make my features stand out, but still look natural. My makeup lasted all night and I got so many compliments!
Michaela is very friendly and down to earth. She was easy to get in touch with whenever I had questions. She took care of me, my bridesmaids, and the moms and everyone looked fantastic! I highly recommend her!!
Michaela is the BEST! My wedding make up was flawless and lasted all night even with the happy tears and dancing! She was early to set up and my bridesmaids loved her! She’s funny and personable and makes you feel like your hanging out with a friend. My mother’s makeup was stunning and so natural. My entire bridal party loved her and their makeup ! Even my photographer was complimenting her work saying how beautiful everyone looked! I am so thankful to have had her for my most important day! We highly recommend her for any occasion! Thank you Michaela
what a great
Michaela was absolutely amazing to work with. My husband and I were having a blended Hindu and traditional American wedding, and I was searching for a compromise between the bold makeup I had seen in other Indian weddings and a more natural look. When I met with Michaela for a makeup trial, she was very helpful in suggesting how I could incorporate bold accents while still feeling like myself. She also suggested a skincare regimen that would help my skin to be ready for the big day. Then, the day of the wedding, Michaela was not only on time for our very early 5 am start time, but she was cool and collected throughout the entire morning--truly providing a source of calm and lightheartedness when I was overwhelmed with some of the other logistics. Just as importantly, my makeup was perfect, executed just like our trial, and my bridesmaids were all stunning as well. She brought in a second artist to help with our large bridal party, and she was able to find a supporting artist whose style blended beautifully with her own. She was truly a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend her!
There is no one else I’d rather have my makeup done on my wedding day! Michaela has such a calm demeanor and she’s the perfect person to have around you. Not only did she do a fantastic job, but I got my makeup done at 8am and it still looked flawless at 8pm after hours of drinking and dancing! My makeup trail went very well and she listened to everything I wanted to change for my big day- and she pulled through 200%. I highly recommend her and will send anyone I can her way! She’s a true artist and I loved her!
Michaela is the only makeup artist I ever use! She's honest, reliable, fun, and incredibly talented. I love her. Hire her. If you can - she books up like crazy!
Michaela was absolutely the best choice for makeup on my wedding day. She made my mom, bridesmaids and myself beautiful for wedding. She did my makeup exactly how I envisioned it. I would highly recommend her for her professionalism and talent. I have never felt so beautiful in my life! My makeup stayed on the entire day and looked flawless. Thanks Michaela!
Michaela came highly recommended from many friends. She did my engagement photo and wedding day makeup. She was amazing for both. All 7 bridesmaids, 2 moms and I loved her and thought she did an excellent job! I have never felt more beautiful!!
Michaela did my makeup for my engagement photos and wedding day! Both turned out great! I would definitely reccomend her for whatever your make up needs may be!
She's the only person I trust doing my make-up for any special occasion I have going on!! Highly recommend Michaela!!!
Thanks for always making me look amazing!!
Client for life!
Michaela was recommended by our wedding photographer for our engagement photos. She did a fantastic job on my makeup for our shoot that I immediately knew I would be booking her for my wedding! I got married in July and was pleasantly surprised that the airbrush makeup stayed in place through out the day! I had reservations about my timeline (8 bridesmaids) and Michaela made sure we stuck to schedule and were finished on time. I hope to use her in the future for events!
From the minute you meet Michaela, she makes you feel like she's been your friend for years! She does amazing work-I hired her to do my wedding in April 2016. I felt so beautiful on my day and my girls loved their makeup so much that one hired her for her wedding 6 months later! She is professional and anyone she brings along with her does work that is just as amazing! I could not recommend her more!
I have had the pleasure to work in a salon with Michaela before she started her own business. I have always admired her abilities with make up. Being a hairdresser, I have clients that become brides and I want to recommend them to someone I trust will take care of them . I know when I recommend them to Michaela they are in good hands! I believe that Michaela is one of the best make up artists in the Louisville area. I love her work so much you better believe Michaela will be doing my make up for my big day, too!
I.LOVE.THIS.WOMAN!!! She was super patient with both of my trials, willing to work with my suggestions and changes. My entire bridal party was super thrilled with their looks. Already talked to her about a holiday party at work look in Dec! We had a great time gwtting ready at Slugger Museum, so mucb fun that we invited her to take a few pics with myself and my hubby!! Cannot give her enough praise!! Thank you for making us look flawless!!
Michaela did my make-up and my bridesmaids for my wedding on 5/13/2017. She also did my makeup for my engagement photos. She was so easy to communicate with when I had questions or needed to confirm anything. She does an amazing job and she made my bridesmaids and I all feel beautiful. My makeup looked flawless and it stayed that way the entire day. I would recommend her for any event.
Michaela is the absolute best! She did my makeup for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier. Her sweet personality is the icing on the cake! Love her!
Michaela did a FANTASTIC job for my wedding. I live out of state and we coordinated everything via email! I did not have time to do a trial run and Michaela was able to pull my look together with ease and perfection!! I loved my look and it stayed on the entire day and evening. She did my sister's makeup also and she looked amazing!! I highly recommend Michaela for your wedding or really any event!
Michaela did the makeup for my entire bridal party including my mother and myself. She was absolutely amazing and all of our makeup was stunning. My makeup lasted all evening and still looked flawless at the end of the night. She was very professional and so much fun to work with. She even was able to schedule my trial for the day of my bachelorette party so I could enjoy my makeup both times I had it done! I loved working with her and would choose her over and over again to do my makeup for any occasion! She’s simply the best and so talented.
Michaela is the BEST! I knew after my trial that my makeup would look good the day of my wedding, but I was still blown away on my wedding day. She listened to what I said I liked and made me look perfect. I received so many compliments on my makeup that night and it's all because of her! She's also done weddings that I've been in and all of the girls end up looking great. She's also just fun to be around and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend Michaela to anyone looking for wedding makeup!
I couldn't imagine my make-up being any more perfect for my wedding day! Not only is Michaela EXTREMELY talented, she is genuine and fun, and she made me feel beautiful and relaxed! My skin is super oily and I had very little shine the entire night even though it was hot and muggy. Michaela is the real deal! I will definitely call her the next time I need make-up services!

I wish we could do it all over again! You girls are awesome!!
Michaela is wonderful to work with. I have used her several times and she never disappoints. Plus she is really cool, so that's an added bonus:-)
Michaela's work was nothing less than perfect. I needed my make up done last minute for my engagement pictures, and she was more than willing to do it. I was so happy! She came directly to me, and her work was flawless. She was easy to work with and made the experience fun! I highly recommend her for your next event! You will not be disappointed!
Response from the Vendor on 09/16/2016
Thank you! I love the way your photos turned out!!!
I have never felt as beautiful as I did when Michaela did my make up. My mother there and bridesmaids looked wonderful as well. I was severely broken out from all of the stress, but you couldn't even tell because of the airbrush makeup.
Response from the Vendor on 09/16/2016
I loved being part of your day! You looked amazing!
Michaela is doing my makeup for my wedding next weekend. The trial I had with her was amazing. She does awesome makeup and it very personable
Response from the Vendor on 09/16/2016
Can't wait to see you soon!
Michaela was absolutely amazing!! She came to my house to do a trial and then came to me on my wedding day too. She did airbrush makeup for my bridal party, mother, mother in-law and sisters in-laws and they all love it. Highly highly recommend!
Response from the Vendor on 09/16/2016
Thank you! I can't wait to see your photos!
I planned my wedding myself and I'd have to say the easiest part by far was my makeup! Michaela helped me create a look I loved and also helped with my timeline for the day making sure we weren't rushed and could relax. Anytime I had a question she was quick to respond and very helpful! I love her professionalism and knowledge of products and always refer her to anyone looking for the same. She's the best!!
I was referred to Michaela by one of my friends to do my wedding makeup and when I met her to do a trial run, I knew she was the one I needed for my special day. She does a fabulous job and she made me feel very comfortable knowing that my makeup would be exactly what I wanted. She's a wonderful package of fun and professional all in one person :) She did my makeup, my bridesmaid's and my mom's for the wedding. Anyone that asks for a makeup artist referral always gets Michaela's name and information from me. There is no question that she is the one you need to make you feel gorgeous for whatever event you're attending :)
I used Michaela for my engagement photos and knew I wanted her for my wedding day immediately. She introduced me to airbrush makeup and I've never looked so flawless and it truly lasted all day (even in the hot summer). She is always a delight to work with. Very professional, punctual and courteous but a total hoot as well. I've used her for several events since and have always been pleased with her work. She makes me feel so pretty!
Michaela did my makeup for a wedding I was in last year. I had never had my makeup done before but I was very impressed. I was nervous at first because I don't wear a lot of makeup but I felt totally comfortable and beautiful with the result. I can't wait for her to do my makeup for my wedding!
Michaela did my makeup for an event and I was so impressed with her work, that I have used her for several other jobs and references in the future.
Her personality put me at instant ease, her work was gorgeous and quick. Some stylists take upwards to 2 hours, she listened to what I liked and didn't like and I was drooling over her collection of eye shadows and lip colors.
i looked and felt beautiful
Awesome makeup artist!
