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!

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!

Aloha! I'm Megan, the creative force behind the chair at Big Island Hawaii Makeup. Nestled in the breathtaking landscapes of Hawaii, I find inspiration in the vibrant colors, golden sunsets, and the love stories that unfold against this paradise backdrop.

Originally hailing from Southern California, I made the leap to call Hawaii home with my husband and our two beautiful children. Together, we've crafted a life filled with gratitude, love, and the joy of raising a family in this tropical haven.

With two decades of experience in the beauty industry, GLAM holds a special place in my heart—it's my first love and the beating heart of my business. In the last five years, I've seamlessly woven another passion into my offerings—capturing the essence of special moments through photography.

When I'm not perfecting bridal looks or framing timeless memories, you'll find me embracing the simple joys of life. Whether it's sinking my toes in the sand at the beach, finding balance through yoga, savoring a glass of wine, or marveling at the magical colors of a sunset, I cherish every moment.

Beyond the beauty realm, I'm a lover of crystals, an astrology enthusiast, and I find joy in the delicate dance of flowers and the artistry of interior design. My keen eye for all things beautiful extends beyond the makeup chair to create visual stories that last a lifetime.

Let's create memories that will be cherished for generations.

Mahalo for letting me be a part of your special moments.

With love and gratitude, Megan 🌸✨
