Mer did an amazing job with my makeup! Not only was her work flawless, but she was also incredibly sweet and made the whole experience so enjoyable. I felt beautiful and confident, and the makeup lasted all day. Highly recommend her for any special occasion!
Mercedes was a delight to work with from the start. Easy to communicate with, fully transparent pricing, and truly a gifted makeup artist! I have never felt more beautiful and glamorous than I did on my wedding day, thanks to Mercedes!
Mercedes was so professional and listened to our requests. We all loved our makeup and it lasted till the end of the night. Highly recommend 10/10
I booked Mer about a month before the wedding and wasn't able to do a trial run with her as I don't live in the area. I was also kinda broke once we got closer to the wedding. My favorite thing is that Mer was quick to adjust to my wants and needs. We had originally planned to do my makeup and hair at the hotel, but found it cheaper to do it at her home. Her hairstylist was not able to attend my appointment, but she was able to find a replacement without any delay. I also really appreciated the small makeup bag gift she gave me with small amounts for the makeups she used so that I would be able to do touchups during the event. ( I had 2 weddings and the other makeup artist did not do this.) Thank you again, Mer!
Mercedes did a phenomenal job on our makeup for my wedding. She is timely, considerate, organized, detail oriented, and a true artist! This is the fifth time my family and I have used her for our makeup but this is the first time as a bride and she managed to impress us once again! I received so many compliments in my makeup! I highly recommend her and her team!
Mercedes was an absolute dream from start to finish! She effortlessly handled huge family and 12 bridesmaids and made each one of us feel like royalty. She listened attentively to my vision and brought it to life, making me feel like a princess on my wedding day. Her attention to detail was impeccable, and she enhanced our natural beauty with flawless make up. Her warm and relaxed nature helped create an atmosphere filled with laughter and excitement. I can't thank her enough for making my special day even more magical. Thank you Mercedes for making me feel like Becky G!! 😊💕🙏
Mercedes did my hair and makeup this past weekend for my son's wedding. Omg I had so many compliments! She made me beautiful! I would highly recommend her! I will be using her again for sure!
Mercedes was amazing! She made me
look glamorous but not over done!
I was not a bride but a young senior
who wanted to look as great as possible at a special event I was attending! She did such
a super job, I had her help me again just a few days later for another special occasion.
She was very professional and put me at
ease w her confidence and easy conversation.
I would highly recommend her!
Mercedes was a pleasure to work with! Her makeup skills are outstanding and she is extremely professional. I absolutely loved her attention to detail and how nicely the makeup lasted all day. Can't wait to use her again!
Mercedes was awesome ! Easy to communicate with, for a last minute booking. She was on time, pleasant to work with, understood what I wanted. Asked me what I didn't like ! My makeup stayed on all day for a garden ceremony, and we had record heat in Miami that day!! She was worth every penny.
Mercedes did my hair, along with hair/makeup for a few family members. We all ADORED not only her beautiful, meticulous work but also her character in general! She’s brings a cool, calm, collected vibe into a wedding day which is usually a bit stressful for any bride. I got married at the end of May in South FL, so the humidity was definitely a factor - yet, my hair stayed perfectly from 1130 AM (when I had to be ready to start pictures) until 130 AM, after partying and dancing and jumping all night. I cannot recommend Mercedes enough. If I could do it all over a thousand times, I’d choose her every time.
Mer did my makeup for my wedding on December 3rd and let me tell you- she works miracles. I was so stressed before my wedding and I have never broke out as bad as I did was. Mer reassured me that it would be okay the entire time. She made me feel like a million dollars. I have never looked at myself in the mirror and been like ‘wow I look beautiful’ and she made me feel just that. She is professional and truly an artist at making people beautiful! A few of my bridesmaids, MOB and MOB all got their hair and makeup done also and they all looked incredible. My makeup lasted all day and night in the florida humidity. I’m so glad I chose Mer to be a part of my day because she did not disappoint!
Mercedes, she’s Amazing!!! She make me look stunning on my wedding day and the look was natural like I wanted. Excellent experience She was prompt and professional. Anyone the hires her is in good hands. 💕
Mercedes and her team were wonderful!!! My make up turned out so beautiful. They really make you feel special on your big day. I would definitely use her again. And highly recommend her! Thank you guys for everything.
Mercedes and her team were amazing! My hair and makeup was better than I could've ever imagined! You all made me feel like a princess on my wedding day! I can't thank you enough for everything you did for me and my bridesmaids. I highly recommend anyone looking for hair and makeup to go with Mercedes and her GlaMER squad!!!
Mercedes and her team were incredible. Everyone was on time and ready to go according to the timeline. Everyone's makeup and hair looked incredible. I even fell asleep in my hair and makeup and somehow it looked EVEN BETTER the next day- like nothing had touched it at all. Highly highly highly recommend Mercedes for your wedding or big event- I have never felt more gorgeous in my life!
Mercedes was a pleasure to work with. Having her do makeup at my wedding was one of the first (and best!) decisions I made while wedding planning. Makeup was one thing I knew I didn’t want to worry about on the day of the wedding, and it came out wonderfully. Mercedes is a true professional, and has a passion for her work. If you’re thinking about hiring her, go for it – but book early because she is in demand! Highly recommended.
Mercedes is a great professional. She did a great job with my makeup in my wedding day. My new husband and my guests were fascinated about how pretty I looked. My wedding day was hot and humed but the makeup did not run
She uses good products and made me look natural. Thanks Mer 🤗
Mer was amazing! She and her team did hair and makeup for me and my bridesmaids. everything was fantastic- natural looking, soft, romantic. everything I wanted and more.
Mercedes (MUA) and Nadia (hair) were FANTASTIC!!!!! I hired them to do my hair and makeup for my wedding and they knocked it out of the park. Worth every penny! Highly recommend!
HIGHLY recommend hiring Mercedes and her team for your wedding day make up and hair!! I know absolutely nothing about makeup and wasn’t really sure what style or look I wanted, but after speaking with Mercedes she was able to come up with an idea of what I may like and when we did the trial I was so happy with the result! I absolutely loved my wedding day makeup and hair, and it lasted all night long! (even with Florida humidity and dancing all night long) Nadia did a fantastic job with my hair, even with a last minute change due to the original person not being able to make it that day. I was able to show Nadia pictures of what my hair looked like at the trial and she replicated it beautifully! Sophia and Nathalie did an incredible job as well, and my bridesmaids looked absolutely beautiful!
Had the most amazing experience with Mercedes! My makeup was flawless and lasted the entire night!! I felt like a true princess thanks to her glam skills ♥️ Best makeup artist ever!
My girls and I were very happy with our hair and makeup services from Makeup by Mer/ GlaMER! From the beginning when it came out consulting and arranging Mercedes was very accomodating, responsive and professional. On day of the wedding her team arrived ready and on time and provided us with beautiful hair and makeup!
Mercedes and her team did an amazing job on makeup for myself and my bridal party! I did the makeup trial and all of my comments were taken into account on my wedding day so it was exactly what I wanted. I would highly recommend Mercedes and her team! They are very professional and talented.
Mer and the GlaMER team did my make up for my wedding day and they did an amazing job. I absolutely loved her work! She made me look stunning for my wedding day and the look was natural like I wanted. She was professional and kind and even kept me calm the morning of the wedding! Even my wedding party loved how everything came out. I can’t thank Mer and her Team enough! Anyone that hires them is in good hands! 💕
I never felt more beautiful and I have Mer & her team to thank for. My whole bridal group looked so beautiful I was so unbelievably happy. Just having my hair & make up done alone I had a permanent smile.
I cannot say enough kind words about Mer, Nadia and her team! Mer was so easy to work with and she makes sure she understands exactly what you want. Her goal is to make sure you are happy and look beautiful, and she succeeded!
Mer was very flexible about making appointments for trial runs and really took her time to cover all bases. She was a pleasure to work with.
In our group we had 7 ladies that needed makeup and 5 that needed their hair done. Mer and Nadia did not even bat an eye. They showed up on time and went right to work.
I would definitely recommend Makeup by Mer LLC and the GlaMER Squad.
I had the best experience with Makeup by Mer for my wedding! She really nailed the natural look I wanted with just enough emphasis so that the photos came about great. The makeup and hair lasted ALL NIGHT and I received so many compliments. Both Mercedes and Nadia were super sweet and calmed my wedding day gitters. Communication was quick and thorough. Highly recommended!!
Mercedes and her team were AMAZING! They made me and my family feel absolutely beautiful! Mercedes was fantastic with her communication and made the whole process super easy and stress free!
Mer is amazing!!! I will use her for every special occasion!!!!
Mercedes did a flawless job on my makeup for my best friends wedding. She arrived on time, was friendly, professional, and was very Covid safe. My makeup was perfect and looked even more amazing in photos. I would highly recommend Mercedes.
The Makeup by Mer GlaMER Squad was amazing to work with! We live in Pennsylvania and so being out of state, I feel so fortunate to have found this team! They went above and beyond to make us look and feel our best! I can not recommend them enough!! Their dedication and experience show in their great work!! If you are looking for exceptional service, these are your girls!!
There are not enough amazing things to say about Mer. My makeup trial was flawless and she made you feel like family from the second you walked in the door. An extreme professional, yet, calming and fun. My entire bridal party, as well as, my mother were thoroughly grateful for just how well their makeup turned out for the wedding, especially myself, the BRIDE!! Since this was a gift for my bridesmaids, I'm so happy I found Mer who was able to provide an "over-the-top" experience for them. Several of my bridesmaids do not really ever wear makeup and Mer was able to "Glam" them up without taking away from their natural beauty or making them look to "made-up". This was probably the easiest vendor experience I had throughout the whole wedding process and I'm happy to say I am actually still in touch with her today. So, if you're a bride-to-be looking for a beautiful, fun, calming, professional, reliable and down-right amazing experience; look no further than Mer and her GlaMER squad. :)
Mercedes and her team are truly AMAZING!!! I had gone through several terrible makeup trials and had almost given up before I met Mercedes. She made me and my bridal party look absolutely beautiful!!! Since my wedding, several of my friends and my sister in law have also used her for their weddings and were extremely happy with her talent! She is a sweetheart, is hard working, always on time and very professional! I highly recommend her for you occasion, you will not be disappointed. :)
Punctual, professional, friendly, works with you to make your vision become a reality. Definitely recommended! Very happy with the outcome.
I just got married in March and Mercedes and her team were great! They were professional and worked with all the bridesmaids to make sure there hair and makeup came out exactly how they wanted. I would highly recommend for future weddings or special events!
After 3 failed hair trials, I couldn't be more relieved when I found someone who could do my wedding hair style like the picture I had found. Worth every penny! Amazing squad, reliable, confident and such a great calming energy for your special day.
Mer did my make up for my son's wedding, not only was an incredible professional, but I was absolute thrilled with the results. I would highly recommend her to any bride and complete bridal party. She is simply amazing!
Mer was so great to work with. She was very accommodating with my schedule as I live in NY but was getting married in Boca. She was very easy to work with for my makeup trial and on the day of the wedding she was so calming and efficient. My whole wedding party loved her.
Mercedes @ Makeupbymer did my makeup for my wedding and made me look and feel beautiful. I highly recommend her if you are looking for a talented and professional makeup artist for your special day.
Mercedes is a pleasure to work with. She is so sweet and professional. She was referred to me by a friend and did my makeup for an event and did an AMAZING job! I have already booked her and her team for my December 2020 wedding!
Mercedes was truly amazing! She was on time, extremely professional and so down to earth. I had no idea how I wanted my makeup done. She worked with my dress, skin tone and overall look. She was patient, spent time and was so meticulous. I almost cried when I looked in the mirror, I was so shocked how freaking awesome I looked lol. If you are looking for a makeup artist for any occasion, no need to look anywhere else!!
Mercedes did an amazing job on my makeup for my wedding! She went 110% for me on my very special day! I would Highly recommend her! She will do whatever it takes to make you satisfied for your big day.
Mer did an amazing job on my wedding day. At the trial, she was patient and took her time to understand what my vision was for my wedding look. On the day of, she was so calm, warm and incredible. She made me look amazing! I looked like me, but an elevated more elegant version. I wanted to look effortless and glammed and she did just that. She was great with the timing and my makeup lasted through the night. Plus, it was not so heavy that it was difficult to remove. Mer is the best!
Makeup by Mer was such a beautiful experience for me on my wedding day, not only did she take her time to explain what I needed to look my best and choose the best colors for my skin type, but most importantly, she “listened “ to what I wanted to achieve for my look. The Day of My wedding she truly made me feel like a Princess and my make lasted the entire evening. It was Picture Perfect! I highly Recommend Mercedes and her Company for any special occasion you have.
Mercedes was referred by a close friend for my wedding. I loved the trial so much, I decided I wanted her to do the makeup for my entire wedding party. She specializes in airbrush makeup which stays perfect ALL NIGHT. I did my trial late in the day and didn't have time to test it's longevity before bed so I slept in it -- and let me tell you, the makeup still looked PERFECT in the morning. If you're looking for someone to do gorgeous wedding makeup that will last through the ceremony, pictures and reception, Mercedes is your girl!
Mer, I can't thank you enough for your expertise on the day of my best friend's wedding! Being a salon owner in Connecticut, I have had my make up professionally done many times throughout the years and can honestly say I was thrilled with your service! It was also a pleasure taking the time weeks before the wedding with the bride and having you do a trial makeup session with us! It was a great opportunity to just have fun, with no pressure, play around and pinpoint exactly what we wanted. Your ability to offer options was greatly appreciated! When I visit Florida again, I'm looking you up for a fun make up lesson with my friend! Your'e the best!
I had the pleasure of having Makeup by Mer 💋 beautify myself and my bridesmaids for my wedding. Mercedes is very professional and is very talented... She did exactly as I asked... I wanted to look like a bride but not too heavy or over done as I don’t wear a lot of makeup on a daily basis. She nailed the exact look I was looking for. My wedding party looked absolutely fabulous... 💕 from makeup to hair!! She knows what looks best on you and she really listens to your wants which is very comforting when you really aren’t sure what will look best on you! If you are looking for a professional phenomenal makeup artist Mercedes is your girl hands down! She has done my makeup for numerous events since the wedding and she’s the absolute best. She can really cater to all the different looks from natural makeup all the way to the dramatic look. She’s a pleasure to work with and she had a helping hand in making my wedding party and I look and feel fabulous!!! 💋
Before I met Mer(after meeting a ton of hair&makeup people and going through trials that didn’t meet my needs), I was truly frustrated and had lost hope of having my vision come true. Especially if you know anything about how businesses run here in south Florida sometimes ... So when I found Mer, she was a breath of fresh air. My wedding was in the Keys. Not only did she travel all that way, but she also showed up on time which put me at ease AND was able to execute my vision for my perfect day. Her and her mom(who did hair for us), were able to handle my whole wedding party’s makeup, style all of our hair (including putting in And styling my extensions), all within the time constraints and made it seem flawless. Her work speaks for itself, but I was one happy bride. My pictures will last a lifetime, and I can look back and say I looked great. Thanks Mer for being a special part of my day.
I first want to say that Mercedes is extremely talented! She’s punctual and goes above and beyond.... I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and couldn’t have been happier...
