Last-Minute COVID Bride

Meg is simply amazing! We had to postpone our destination wedding twice & then cancel completely — then planned a Charlottesville wedding in 5 weeks. Meg was immediately responsive, helpful, sweet & calm — she was sure she could help me (even though she had never met me or did a trial!) she was a referral & Im SO glad I reached out to her! She was prompt, explanatory, complimentary & just all-around wonderful! She is a wizard-ess & made us all look like goddesses! Thankful for her in this crazy time of need & so happy to have met her! Her sweet & calm demeanor is exactly what any bride would want on her wedding day — she also has an exemplary way of understanding what “look” you want without having to copy celebrity pictures — she truly does flawless & beautiful work. My face FELT smooth & hydrated all day! Many, many thanks again Meg :) hope to use you again in the future!

Best makeup artist!

I absolutely loved my makeup and how it turned out the day Meg did my makeup for my sisters wedding! I loved her character and her personality was amazing! She also did my mom, my sister(the bride) my aunt, cousin and my little sisters makeup and each experience they all had with Meg they loved! They couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed talking with Meg and getting their makeup done with her. Meg made us so comfortable and feel so beautiful! She made it relaxing and super fun for us while we were all nervous for the big day. She brought so much light and joy into our stressful day! We couldn’t have picked a better makeup artist! I cannot wait to book with her again!!!

Over the Moon About My Wedding Day Make-Up

Madelyn was absolutely incredible! She brought such a calm and positive energy to my wedding morning, which made the whole getting-ready experience feel relaxed and fun. She gave me the most beautiful, natural, and glowy look — my skin looked amazing and still felt like me, just enhanced in the best way. I loved loved loved how she made my eyes look big as well! I couldn't be happier with how confident I felt (especially as someone who does not do their make up often so really had no idea what to request)

She also did my mom’s makeup, which was so special because my mom never wears makeup. Madelyn made her feel completely comfortable, and she looked absolutely stunning. On top of that, Madelyn handled makeup for 12 people plus a sweet flower girl look for my niece (her first time ever getting makeup done!) — and everyone looked gorgeous.

Madelyn is not only incredibly talented but also such a kind, calming presence to have with you on your wedding day. I can’t recommend her highly enough!
