Marissa was great from first contact to last. She was very helpful and extremely flexible when it came to my trial and my special day. All of my girls were very happy with their services and her knowledge for each individual's needs.

Marissa and her team were great! She did exactly what I had imagined for my bridesmaids, my mother and mother in law, and I on our wedding day. I got so many compliments, the pictures came out beautifully too. I would highly recommend Marissa and her team for your wedding

Marissa was great! Super responsive and flexible with our everchanging needs for the Wedding. I, myself, did not personally use her services but had hired her for the other bridesmaids and bride. The bride looked absolutely flawless on her wedding day and from the pictures we've seen and from seeing her in person, she couldn't have looked better.

Thanks Marissa!

Marissa was incredibly responsive to my inquiries and in any of my efforts to get ahold of her for scheduling or inquiry purposes. She was great with specific requests, particularly pertaining to my sensitive skin. Marissa expressed the utmost professionalism both during my trial and for my event. She was on time, found us without any issues, kept the on schedule and was so personable and sweet. I would absolutely recommend marissa's services. It was wonderful to have her as a part of my wedding day.

I can't possibly say enough positive things about Marissa and the amazing job she did for me and my bridesmaids for my wedding! I found her by luck after having a really unpleasant and expensive trial at a different local salon. I was extremely frustrated and decided to start searching for a makeup artists from scratch. When I found and met with Marissa I was so impressed by her talent, her friendly and personable nature, and her prices!!! I was looking for someone who would understand that I didn't want to be a "cookie-cutter" bride on my special day, and Marissa really got that and totally delivered on what I wanted and explained. We initially hired her to do makeup for myself, and two other bridesmaids, but after seeing what a fabulous ob she did for us, the other three bridesmaids asked if she could do their eyes as well, and Marissa happily obliged, even though she hadn't budgeted in time for that! As I mentioned earlier, her prices were so reasonable compared to other artists and salons I had researched and her talent and the quality was unbeatable! Thank you, Marissa for making me shine all that much brighter on my wedding day!

I had 2 makeup artists flake out on me right before my wedding. I was in a panic and found Marissa off here. She was quick to answer my emails and had time the day of my wedding to do my makeup! She was able to do a practice a few days before it when I had only contacted her within 2 weeks of the wedding. She was professional and did an excellent job listening to what I wanted and created it perfect!! I highly recommend her she was excellent and a life saver for me!!

Marissa is a very talented Makeup artist! I was very impressed when she came to my house for a trial before my wedding; this gave me a chance to experiment with lashes and make a few changes before the 'big day'. On the morning of my wedding I was very comfortable that my makeup would look just as perfect as the trial- if not more beautiful! Not to mention how gorgeous my bridesmaids and mother looked as well!

I will be recommending Marissa to anyone looking for a professional; affordable makeup application!

Marissa was fantastic. My hair stylist, Laurie Garrett, was instrumental in organizing the entire session with herself and Marissa. Marissa was extremely flexible with her scheduling and was able to accommodate my changing schedule. At first, I was a bit intimidated to have my make-up done but she made the whole process feel very relaxing. She also did makeup for my sisters and they looked awesome! My make-up looked extremely natural but with a slight bit of drama. Even my husband was impressed. He especially liked my pink lipstick... I am now addicted to lipstain since the event. Her pricing was extremely reasonable and worth every penny!

Marissa is my go-to peer in the industry. Don't know what I would do without her!

I had the pleasure to collaborate with Makeup By Marissa on several shoots, and the results were brilliant each time. Makeup for portrait photography is more difficult as the colors must match and gracefully complement the light accents on the face - Marissa handled all scenarios with ease and together we created astonishing pictures, vibrant but still natural at the same time.
