For any bride who has ever been scared by the CLOWN MAKE-UP look at someone else wedding, or simply anyone who wants to look both natural and glamorous at once...
Morgan is the absolute best (and if you don't believe me, just scroll down and soak in all the fabulous reviews). She did make-up for myself and two others for my recent wedding and everyone, despite being a make-up phobic bunch, was extremely happy with the results.
Morgan was extremely receptive to my feedback post trial about wanting to change the look slightly, and she had several great recommendations for me to do a little research on products before the big day. She was thorough and thoughtful in our conversations leading up to the wedding day which speaks to both her professionalism and her personality.
Morgan has a very calming energy-- she is funny, sweet, and focused. A true professional- she comes in and gets right to work, checking in with you along the way- not only about the make-up, but about how you're doing/feeling "do you need water? champagne?" as well as being your voice when you need - direct quote, said in sweetest possible way- "I'm going to be a meanie and say that no one is allowed to ask the bride a question for 5 minutes." And they LISTENED to her. Even if you didn't need make-up done, I would recommend Morgan to just be a presence. But her work is seriously fabulous. I had major apprehensions about foundation and overall make-up cakey-ness and Morgan guided me in the right direction, listened to where I felt comfortable, and managed to achieve the perfect look for my wedding day. She even threw in one of her very own lip pencils when last minute we all decided the lip shade I had picked out was too bright! I am looking forward to the next event I can have Morgan for, and my maid of honor already wants to have a make-up session with her. She is a very memorable part of my wedding day and I am very thankful to have had her help to get ready (both mentally and physically) .

WOW. I never felt as beautiful as I did when Morgan did my makeup for my wedding. She was amazing to work with and listened to everything I wanted. She was so easy to get along with and took her time. I seriously lucked out getting her for my wedding and I would tell anyone who wants the most amazing service to book with Morgan asap. She really was just the outstanding.

Morgan was absolutely incredible.

Before the wedding, I was really nervous about just about everything -- but especially about makeup. I don't particularly wear much makeup and so was nervous about striking the right balance between being the best version of myself but also looking natural. When I looked through Morgan's portfolio, she seemed like the perfect fit for me -- and she totally was.

Both at the make-up trial and the day-of, Morgan did a beautiful job of my make-up. My make-up was very natural but everything about it was flawless -- my skin looked even, my eyes looked brighter, the whole thing! And even with airbrushing and a few eyelashes added, all of it was very light. I honestly forgot I had makeup on. And that ol' husband of mine couldn't stop commenting on how great I looked, which is the goal, right?

Besides her flawless work, I also want to add that Morgan is a super cool lady, very laid back and easy going. Could not recommend her more! :)
