Natural glam queen!!
Melissa did such an incredible job on myself, my mother, and my two bridesmaids. I got married July 20th, 2019 and the weather was pushing 37 degrees. Feeling like +44. My makeup stayed on the ENTIRE day! I had people at 12 am saying how perfect it looked! Her commutation was great with me from the beginning and she was great at working under pressure when time got tight! thank you so much Melissa for making me feel like a princess on my special day!

A fantastic artist to work with on your big day!!!
On your big day, you want to be able to relax and know that you're in very capable hands - Melissa was fantastic to work with and will provide that sense of ease and relaxation when other things might be going awry! She paid close attention to what we wanted our makeup to look like. It lasted all day and all night long, the lashes stayed put even though we all cried like babies at the ceremony. I would highly recommend connecting with Melissa as she will not disappoint, but go beyond your expectations for a professional MUA for your wedding day. Thanks Melissa!!!

My entire bridal party was happy with my choice!
Great makeup artist who listened well, remembered my preferences from my trial run, and was attentive to me on the wedding day. My bridesmaids loved her work too. I have very sensitive skin which reacts to certain makeup products, and I had no skin reactions that day. The price was great especially considering it was packaged with hair services for my entire bridal party and my mom. I’ve recommended her several times outside of this site and will continue to do so. I wouldn’t change a thing except maybe my choice to hire only one artist so that we didn’t have to wake up as early. But even then, I couldn’t sleep due to excitement!

Melissa did a wonderful job on my make-up as well as my wedding party and my Mom. She definitely knows her stuff - I did not have to show her pictures she just applied flawless make-up that lasted all the way through the night. Friendly and professional.
