Elegant, Natural Makeup

Magnolia Artistry Makeup did an incredible job with my makeup for my wedding day. I was able to work with Chelsea, who was professional and kind from the moment I met her at my trial. She worked with me to come up with schedule so that she could accommodate my crew and even arrived early. She exceeded my expectations and was able to match the natural, but elegant look I wanted. She also did the makeup for my mother, MIL, and bridesmaids, and they were all absolutely stunning. The makeup lasted all day and looked amazing, but natural, in photos. I felt like by the end of the morning of my wedding I had a friend! I would highly recommend Chelsea and her team to brides looking for a highly professional and friendly team who take great pride in their work and do an exceptional job.

Perfect start to my wedding day!

Chelsea was amazing on my wedding day! She created a stunning look that made me feel beautiful and confident, and her calm, positive energy made the morning so special. She even squeezed my mom in last minute and made her look incredible too. So talented, professional and kind - highly recommend!

Amazing!!!

Chelsea from Magnolia Artistry did the makeup for me and my side of the wedding party. She was great to get along with, and was very responsive and receptive to my requests and changes from our trial run, and to my party’s requests. Overall, I recommend them highly!
