on to have in the room with you on your wedding day!
Molly had done our makeup for my best friend’s wedding back in 2023 and I knew immediately who I wanted to do my makeup for my wedding in 2025. She made every single person feel comfortable and beautiful and listened to what they wanted. She stayed perfectly on schedule with a large group of 11, all while taking the time to make sure each look was tailored to the individual. The makeup stayed all day and she gave us each touch up kits just in case. She is the biggest cheerleader and truly wants to help you shine in whatever way you’d like.
Thank you for everything Molly! It has been so wonderful getting to know you. It meant so much to have someone so wonderful there with us on my wedding day. You will always be my first recommendation for friends looking for an MUA.
P.S. I wish you could do my eyebrows for every event ever!

Molly was hands-down my FAVORITE vendor from our wedding and truly one of the best decisions I made throughout the entire planning process. From the moment I left my trial, I felt ...
so confident and knew I was in the best hands. Molly has such a calm, grounding presence that was incredibly appreciated on the wedding day, and you can immediately tell how confident and talented she is in her work.
She made every single bridesmaid feel absolutely BEAUTIFUL. A lot of my girls don’t normally wear much makeup and were initially nervous about getting it professionally done, but every one of them ended up so happy and comfortable with their final look. Molly has such a natural ability to enhance everyone’s features while still making them feel like themselves.
I’ve always been a little insecure about my skin and acne scarring, and Molly made my skin look so smooth, glowing, and natural. More importantly, she made me feel genuinely beautiful and confident, which meant so much to me.
The morning of the wedding, I decided last minute to switch things up a bit and go for a brighter, more shimmery eye look. Molly handled the change so seamlessly and confidently, and I’m SO happy I trusted her and made the switch. She completely nailed my vision.
Beyond her talent, Molly is an excellent communicator, incredibly reliable, and genuinely cares about her brides. I felt supported and taken care of throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend her enough!
To all my brides-to-be, whether you're meticulous type, planning every detail or taking a more relaxed approach, molly is makeup artist you've been dreaming of. Seriously, after a ...
string of unsuccessful hair trials that left me feeling totally stressed and hopeless about how I would look on my big day. The moment Molly started, I knew I was in the best hands. She didn't just meet my expectations; she completely blew them out of the water on the very first try.
On my big day, my makeup was the last thing on my mind because I knew Molly would make me look PERFECT. Her skill and experience are just unreal. If you want to feel like you're stepping off centerfold pages of a magazine, Molly is your girl. I can't recommend her enough! 100000/10 stars
Wow, I had never felt so beautiful as I did when I left Molly’s chair. During the consultation, she explained everything extremely thoroughly and listened very intently to my prefe...
rences. She’s a master of the alchemy of makeup, I confided in her that my skin was extremely oily and she provided evidence that her makeup does not budge or get cakey as the night goes on. As my big day got closer, I had changed my mind about color pallet of my eyeshadow, and texted Molly hoping not to be a pain. Not only did she provide comfort and support, but she actually explained how and why my color pivot would work with my skin coloring/tone. She affirmed that she would do whatever it was that made me feel comfortable and beautiful on my day, but also explained how she would tackle the change using color theory. She’s arrived on time, and we had the best time talking all things Britney Spears all morning. She remained flexible to the inevitable running late, and was able to pivot to doing makeup as I (the bride) was also getting my hair done. She worked with mature skin for a majority of our session and my mom/aunts/grandma felt so beautiful the whole day. BOOK MOLLY. She is versatile, kind, professional and knows her worth. Which she is worth the whoooooole world! MOLLY, I LOVE YOUUUU THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME FEEL LIKE A PRINCESS.
Molly was AMAZING! She is super friendly and made all of us girls look gorgeous. We all looked like we had a real life filter!
Molly did such an incredible job for my wedding makeup ❤️ she perfectly understood my want for looking nice in photos but with a more natural makeup look. she also did an incredib...
le job on my mamas makeup, helping her feel gorgeous for the day too which was very important to me!

n’t recommend her enough!
Molly was absolutely incredible for my wedding. I truly loved my makeup so much — it was exactly what I hoped for and somehow even better. It stayed flawless all day and night, and...
I felt so beautiful and confident the entire time. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist!
Molly is an ARTISTE. Truly. Listen, I love a beautiful blend of products and whipped creams of colors on other people, but I rarely dabble myself. All to say, I wasn't even sure I ...
was going to book a makeup artist for my wedding. But when I tell you that Molly made me think..hmm should I just get married again to have this experience more than once?! I'm not kidding. She listens keenly and studiously, asking just the right questions before spreading out her palettes and setting up her brushes. She adeptly determines which of your inspo looks suit you, your vibe, and your vision, and then with the lightest touch of her brush, a little tweak here and there, you have the most flawless, drop dead beat you've ever seen in your life. This is not a drill, this is not a joke, this is the real deal.
Molly did my mom and sister's makeup too. My mom, whose mature skin rarely let's makeup settle for the evening, was glowing all night, beaming with the shimmer and sparkle that Molly brought to her look. My sister, a mom of 3 under 10, with slightly different shades and tones, gleamed with new energy after Molly was through with her. It was a delight, a joy, and the most peaceful experience I've ever had.
Again, I may ask my husband to get married again, just for this experience.
Molly's pure talent and expertise in her craft is absolutely unmatched. I cannot stress enough how extraordinary she is! I will admit I am a bit of a Type A bride and can definitel...
y be particular, and I was just over the moon with the make up for my wedding. I did a make up trial beforehand where Molly went over everything very thoroughly, and clearly took really detailed notes. I already loved my trial, but the make up she did for the wedding itself was just next level. She knew exactly what I was hoping for and made it even better! It was so much fun to see the make up she did for my bridesmaids and family members too because they all looked absolutely stunning! Molly is also the loveliest human, and brought such a kind and fun energy to the group that morning! It really felt like she was one of the girls!
If you need a make up artist truly do not give it a second thought, just reach out to Molly before she books up!!!!
Molly was absolutely amazing for my wedding! She was attentive and very helpful in the whole process (especially as someone who doesn’t tend to wear makeup). Molly helped to make m...
e feel confident and beautiful for my wedding day and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who needs makeup for any event.
Here’s a polished review you could post:
---
I cannot recommend Molly enough! She is absolutely phenomenal. Not only did she make me feel beautiful in my own skin, but she also ...
gave me the most stunning, long-lasting makeup I could’ve imagined. I was a sweaty mess on my wedding day, and my makeup didn’t budge—it looked flawless from start to finish!
On top of her incredible talent, she is so personable, kind, and easy to talk to. She made the whole experience comfortable and fun, and I truly felt like a movie star by the end. If you’re looking for someone who will make you feel confident, gorgeous, and completely taken care of, she’s the one. I highly, *highly* recommend her!
Molly was incredible to work with. I didn’t give her a huge amount of notice before my wedding, and she was still more than happy to work with me and very accommodating. On my wedd...
ing day, she was incredibly sweet, she showed up on time, and she was very personable and got along great with my bridesmaids. She truly felt like she was a part of our celebration on a personal level. My makeup was beautiful and lasted all day. It also looked great in photos. I highly recommend her to anyone searching for a professional, friendly, and skilled makeup artist!
Molly is amazing! My MOH and I (bride) agreed this was the best wedding makeup we’ve seen/had in all of the dozens and dozens of weddings we had been to or have been in. Molly also...
was able to help me last minute after a mixup with my original makeup plan. So incredibly grateful for her professionalism, communication skills, and amazing positivity!!! Highly recommend her services!
Molly was wonderful! We did a trial before the wedding day and I felt Molly really listened to what I wanted and recommended improvements for the day. Molly listened to each member...
of the wedding party and gave a personalized experience. She was super cook and flexible. Everyone looked wonderful and received lots of compliments.
My friends and I have gotten our makeup done for lots of weddings and they always required a touch up. With Molly doing our makeup there was no touch up needed and it looked amazing all night despite the 90 degree weather and rain.
I highly recommend Molly bridal make up!!
Molly is so talented and fantastic. I have been a bridesmaid in many weddings and I have NEVER liked my makeup more than when she did it for me!!! She chose make up that truly matc...
hed me and for my sister and made us feel so beautiful. It also lasted through all the dancing and fun we had! She was also so fun and positive on a day where stress was high. Book her ASAP!!!
One of the best things I did for my September 2024 wedding was book with Molly. She was one of the most attentive and professional independent vendors I worked with while planning ...
my wedding. From start to finish, Molly was absolutely amazing. While my makeup trial was stunning, I decided to go on a whim and change my look on the big day. Like a true professional, Molly rolled with the changes and listened to every detail I wanted. My final makeup look was a dream. Myself and all six bridesmaids were in love with how our makeup looked, and held throughout the night. Our makeup looked the same as it did freshly done, 10 hours later in the rain and humidity. Molly was so kind to provide individual touch up kits to myself and everyone who got their makeup done. Each kit had all the essentials we needed to keep our makeup flawless throughout the night. This was such a thoughtful gesture! Not only is Molly exceptionally talented with her makeup skills, but is also extremely clean and organized with her products. Not once did myself or my bridal party worry about cross contamination due to her pristine regime and cleanliness. Molly also killed it with time management, completing eight faces in under six hours, and make everything go so smoothly. Please do yourself a favor and book with Molly for your makeup needs!
Molly did the makeup for all 6 of my bridesmaids and my mother-in-law. She was so, so nice and attentive. Two of my bridesmaids NEVER wear makeup, and she really worked with them t...
o find a way to make them feel both beautiful, and comfortable! She maintains an extremely clean work station, she is super responsive when any/all texts and questions, and she gave them little goodie bags that included their lip color for touch-ups throughout the day! I would choose Molly 100 times over, and recommended her to everyone!
Molly was an amazing makeup artist! She was on time, professional, kind and did an amazing job making my makeup stay on all night even though it was so hot all day!
Molly did makeup for myself and my wedding party on my wedding day this past weekend! Not only was she pretty much just as excited for the day as my bridesmaids/ best friends were,...
she was set up and ready to go right when we got there! Since my trial, Molly has become like one or my friends. She was exactly that on my most special day. She made the day so fun as we all hungout and got ready! She even accommodated the mother of the bride and mother of the groom as well! Everyone was absolutely stunned by Molly's skill, including myself all over again. I didn't think it could get better than the trial and my makeup on my wedding day blew it away! I danced the night away, sweating, partying, taking tons of photos, eating, getting some cake smashed on my face; and at 2 AM my makeup looked untouched. I didn't even want to take it off. I will 100% forever recommend Molly and cannot wait to find my next reason to go back to her!!! Forever a friend now♥️
1000/10 recommend! Molly did my makeup for my wedding day, along with my 4 bridesmaids and she absolutely killed it. We’ve all never felt more beautiful and the makeup lasted all n...
ight! On top of that, she is such a calm and funny person to be around that it made the wedding morning that much more enjoyable and peaceful. She is beyond talented! Bonus: She provided each of us with goodie bags to touch up throughout the night!

aid. Molly’s customer service, attention to detail, and overall finesse does not differ whether you’re the bride or not. She takes measures to make sure you are comfortable in her chair and happy with the final look. She even provides you with a touch up kit to ensure your make up stays look fresh all night long. You can tell she takes pride in her work and loves what she does. I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone!
Please drop everything you’re doing & have Molly do your event makeup!! She is a certified hype gal & so so SO talented!
Molly did the most beautiful makeup for such a special occasion! Her communication, attention to detail, and cleanliness throughout her process is nothing short of pure talent. My ...
makeup lasted through tears and dancing all night. Even once I was home getting ready for bed it was still stunning and sad to remove.
Molly truly is that one in a million makeup artist!
An absolute joy to work with total Professional my make up was perfect not overdone because I don’t usually wear make up. She read the room and it was perfect. She is amazing.
Molly is not just a magician with make up, she’s the kind of vibe you want to have before your wedding morning or really any time. Shes a perfectionist is the best way, a hype man ...

d made me and all my bridesmaids feel so beautiful. Even after crying and sweating through the ceremony, all of our makeup looked great and lasted all night. Not only is she amazing at what she does, she’s also an amazing person who made us all so comfortable on wedding day even with wedding day nerves. My girls and I had such a fun morning with her. She shows so much professionalism and I would highly recommend hiring her as a makeup artist!
Wow - where do I sign even start! I went to her with a very specific makeup look and she nailed it to a T. From the trial to the actual wedding day it was such a professional and ...
pleasant process. She is one of the kindest human beings ever all my bridesmaids and I LOVE HER. AND the makeup she did was outstanding, we got our makeup done around 7:30 in the morning and it held until the minute we all went to bed later that day. Which included a swim in the lake, literally the makeup did not move. I will DEFINITELY be going to Molly for any event I have in the future and recommend her to every person that is in need of getting their makeup done.

Molly was AMAZING! I reached out to her about 7 weeks before my wedding and she immediately answered. She was so kind, easy to communicate with, and does incredible work. I went in...
without a trial, let her do her thing, and the end results were amazing. Molly even provided everyone who got their make-up done with a goody bag with everything someone could need for touch-ups, including the exact lipstick she used on each individual person. She created a fun, calm atmosphere that made my day so special.
I got married on October 14, 2023 and hired Molly to do my bridal makeup and makeup for 6 bridesmaids plus MOB & MOG. Choosing her as my makeup artist was one of the best decision...
s I made while planning my wedding. Molly is an incredibly outgoing, amazing person, and has a beautiful talent when it comes to doing makeup! Molly and I met about 8 months before my wedding to do my trial makeup. I immediately loved her professionalism and knowledge of what she does. I fell in love with my makeup the day of the trial. Fast forward to the wedding day and Molly made me and everyone of my bridesmaids look so gorgeous with a natural clean look. She even provided each of us with an emergency bag that had a little lipstick, makeup wipe, and a couple other items to stay fresh throughout the day. Molly made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt on my wedding day and I can’t thank her enough. She truly is a gem! 🤍
If your looking for an incredible make up artist for your big day, end your search here!! I hired MVG Beauty to help with my wedding and i was blown away with the beautiful work Mo...
lly did for us. She made me and my 3 bridesmaids look stunning for my wedding. Her prices are very reasonable and she uses very good quality make up. My first impression of Molly was so friendly and welcoming. She was very professional and a pleasure to work with. I showed her a reference of what i wanted and she went to work. She made me look so beautiful. I knew i found the perfect artist for my big day!! When it came to the day of the wedding she exceeded all expectations. She was well prepared and on time. She was right on schedule and she had great communication with me. But the most important part was that we all looked gorgeous!! THANK YOU MVG BEAUTY!!

er. She absolutely nailed it and it felt like I was hanging out with a lifetime friend the entire time. My entire bridal party was talking about how pretty they felt all day. She also went above and beyond and did my husbands under eyes as he was self conscious about them. I truly can’t recommend Molly enough.

ly listens to you and is very detail oriented, so I felt like we were able to translate my vision into reality and get the exact makeup look I was going for. I felt like I could totally trust her, that she would make me look the best I’ve ever looked, and that’s exactly what happened. I know I’ll be looking back at my wedding photos for years to come, and I couldn’t be happier with how the makeup came out. Molly is simply the best!! I would give her 10 stars if I could!!
Molly exceeded my every expectation in all that I could have hoped for. I didn’t feel like I was only a client; she treated me like a true friend. From the moment I met her at my t...
rial, she put me at such ease with being so incredibly kind, and being so easy to talk to. She helped me through numerous looks to find my absolute favorite - taking extra time and just being overall perfect. I’d suggest her to anyone and everyone. When she did my makeup on my wedding day, it was so beautiful, and even better than I’d expected. And the lashes? Don’t even get me started on the compliments I received! She also treated my family with the same kindness, giving them incredibly gorgeous looks as well. Thank you for making my day so special, Molly!

edding!
I met Molly at my makeup trial in her studio in Binghamton and immediately loved her for her fun energy and kind heart! And then she made me look and feel completely stunning, while being so receptive to the vision I had for my bridal makeup. She was so focused on giving me what I wanted, and wanting to make sure I left feeling amazing.
On the wedding morning Molly showed up with the best energy and was the ultimate hype woman for me and my bridesmaids! She went above and beyond for all of us and truly made us all look and feel completely stunning. She really is SUCH a talent and knows her stuff. She also uses the best products and makes sure your makeup is set to last all night!
I can’t say enough good things about her. Trust me you want to hire her. I feel so lucky to have had her as my MUA for my wedding. She’s real deal.
Molly was great from the trial to the day of she was very helpful. She made me look and feel beautiful on such an important day. She is willing to make your makeup perfect for you....
I had a very natural look which was perfect for me while my bridesmaids got to be as glamorous as they wanted to be. Both looks were amazing and Molly did a great job keeping them all looking tied together. She worked hard throughout the day to prepare all of us and even gave little kits for touch ups after she left. She made everyone feel fabulous.
Molly was absolutely amazing! She took the time to understand what I wanted for bridal makeup and she made my look come to life. Extremely sweet/pleasant to work with and great pri...
ces! I would recommend Molly to anyone!!
Molly was absolutely AMAZING!!!
Communication was super easy and smooth from start to finish and everyone’s makeup ended up looking phenomenal. The makeup trial was great and I def...
initely recommend doing one (even though Molly basically knocks it out of the park on the first try) because it lets you try things you may be on the fence about for the day of (for me, that was false eyelashes— we ended up going with the middle ground of getting a lash lift before the wedding but it was fun to try them!). For the wedding, we had makeup done for the bride (me), 4 bridesmaids, the mother of the bride, and mother of the groom and everyone loved their makeup and looked absolutely stunning. Molly uses great products that lasted all day and even survived us trying to take some photos in between rain showers when it was still sprinkling a little 😅. Molly is also just an overall wonderful human and getting makeup done by her is like hanging out with a best friend. She somehow managed to make my makeup flawless even though I was laughing approximately every 10 seconds 🙃. Her immaculate vibes and positivity were a fabulous addition to our getting ready room the day-of and I would 110% recommend her to anyone getting makeup done for any and every occasion!!
Molly did my bridal makeup along with 7 other girls for my wedding day on May 27, 2023. She is truly THE BEST. Not only is her talent unmatched- amazing color matching skills, abil...
ity to tease out what each client is really asking for, extreme attention to detail, willingness to make changes so that each woman feels beautiful but she is also a blast to be around! I have never felt so beautiful than I did on my wedding day, Molly made my bridal beauty dreams come true and my husband was in awe! She went above and beyond for me and I am so grateful. Perhaps the best part of working with Molly is her personality. On the morning of your wedding you want calm but fun energy- that is Molly to a T. Myself and all the woman getting ready with me LOVED Molly. She is extremely talented but also a great person. If I could recommend one vendor to hire for your wedding it would be Molly.
Molly did an outstanding job for my wedding! I couldn’t be any happier with my makeup and all of my bridesmaids’ makeup too! I would recommend her without hesitation for any event....
I felt she did a great job listening to what I like and giving me a look I was happy with!
