Melissa Makeup Artistry

Melissa did my makeup, my bridesmaids, mothers of bride and groom, and flower girls makeup for our wedding. We all looked so amazing and every single one of us felt so beautiful. Melissa also brought another makeup artist with her as well as two hair stylists who were also amazing. She really helped to take any stress away on the day of by having such a large and talented team that she could bring with her. From the moment we started talking with Melissa she was professional and easy to work with. She was also a very calming presence on the morning of and very organized. Overall I cannot recommend her enough for her skills with makeup but also her professionalism and ease to work with!

Melissa and her colleague did the makeup for my wedding day and we were all blown away. Melissa was so detail oriented and made sure that I was happy with my look before she left. All the ladies looked incredible and my makeup lasted the entire day despite lots of joyful tears!!! They also did such a great job on the moms who were both apprehensive about wearing a lot of makeup. They loved their looks!! I would highly recommend Melissa's services to anyone looking for an amazing makeup artist!!

Melissa did my makeup, my mothers makeup and my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding day. She is such a talented artist! I had never loved my makeup so much before. My skin was flawless, and my eyes looked so big - I was obsessed! I don't wear much makeup on a daily basis, and her work made me look and feel like myself. She is also very kind and considerate when COVID-19 started to interfere. Whenever an issue arose, whether it be location or numbers, we were able to work together to find a solution that worked best for the both of us. I cannot recommend Melissa more. I have attached a variety of photos from different lights/cameras to show how well the makeup translates to images :)

Melissa made me look and feel so gorgeous on my wedding day! My husband cried when he saw me during our first look and I think part of that was because of the quality of the makeup ;)

Melissa was so sweet and a pleasure to interact with over e-mail an in-person. I would work with her again in a heartbeat and would recommend her to anyone looking for wedding makeup!

Melissa is so amazing! I have used her for my engagement photos and my bridal shower makeup and both times she made me feel and look so beautiful. She listened to exactly what I wanted and executed it flawlessly. I highly recommend Melissa!!

I initially found Melissa through Wedding Wire when I began my wedding planning journey in early 2019. I was initially drawn to her work because of the knack she seems to have for glamming you up without hiding your true beauty. I have had the privilege of working with Melissa on three occasions. First, for my engagement shoot, second, for my bridal trial/bridal shower, and third, for my wedding day. Each time, I was impressed with her punctuality, professionalism, and easygoing nature. We always have the best conversation! She is super super easy to deal with via e-mail and responds in a prompt manner. When I needed to make changes to my wedding day makeup needs, she was super accommodating and was always super polite and thorough when explaining cost and details to me. Since my wedding day was packed, I needed to pay for an early start time fee. Melissa tried to make it so that we could start later so that I wouldn’t have to pay her an extra fee - talk about an honest business woman! Every single time Melissa does my makeup, I get so many compliments about how amazing yet natural it looks. She truly understands how to enhance your natural beauty while still adding some flare and fun to your face! The quality of work that she provides for the price that she charges simply amazing. I am already trying to find reasons and occasions where I can hopefully work with her again in the future. Thank you Melisssa for helping me feel beautiful on my wedding day! Do yourself a favour and hire her for all your special occasion makeup!

From the initial contact to the day of our wedding, Melissa was super responsive and helpful. She did amazing make-up on my girls and I, and me being really indecisive, she knew exactly what would work for me and also listened to my opinions as well. I am extremely happy with everything Melissa did!

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!

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!

I first saw Melissa’s work when she came to do makeup for the bridal party of my brother’s wedding - I did not get assigned to her that morning, but I knew I wanted to have my makeup done by her for my next event!! Melissa has done my makeup (along with my family members) on a few occasions now and has been very accommodating each time. She is very professional and her work is unbelievable. I am confident while she’s doing my makeup and I feel gorgeous by the end of it. I would highly recommend Melissa for your next event!
