Amazing 🤩 Experience for this bride!

Megan was personable from our first conversation. She offered suggestions and really helped me gather my thoughts regarding the morning of “chaos”. She added value and good energy to the morning of my wedding. She worked quickly and effortlessly through each person while making them feel comfortable. Everyone’s makeup turned out so beautiful and continued throughout the day / evening. It was super important to me that “my morning” be stress free and light. She absolutely added to the best group of gals I could’ve had around. ❤️ I will be forever grateful for her. Big MAHALO overall!

Magical Makeup with Megan

Megan @ Big Island Hawaii Makeup was amazing and so easy to book. Not only did she reply to my email request ASAP, she answered all of my questions, and sent me a cost breakdown. On the day of the wedding, Megan showed up 10 minutes early to set up...so she could start right on time. She asked me what I wanted and she recommended some solutions, like how to position my veil. Makeup was flawless! She gave me a touch-up kit, but never had to use it, because the makeup lasted for hours. She also did makeup/hair styling for my Fiance. Because we were eloping, she was enough to handle the services for the both of us. Friendly, experienced, confident in her abilities and problem solver. She made my wedding even more magical, because I looked beautiful for my wedding. I will definitely be booking Megan for any event on the Big Island.

Fun and flawless

Megan and her team are professionals in the truest sense: They are responsive, punctual, organized, highly skilled and knowledgeable, and have great attention to detail and artistry. Working with them was not stressful at all (every bride's dream). I was so impressed with how meticulous they were my bridal hair and makeup and how well they listened to all (i.e., me, my MOH, mother, and MIL) of our preferences for our looks. It was evident that they wanted us to look and feel perfect -- and we did! Their work was age- and role-appropriate and made us all feel truly beautiful and ready for wedding day. I highly recommend Big Island Hawaii Makeup to any bride! Mahalo nui loa!
