More than a fabulous MUA- Exceeded expectations!

I can’t imagine what my wedding day would have been like without Megan! I reached out to her fairly last minute after 2 other MUA trials and I’m so grateful that she was available. I didn’t want to settle and I knew before I even stepped foot in the trial that she was IT. She absolutely went above and beyond any expectations I could have had. From to the skincare prep to the beautiful, even makeup application, Megan nailed my wedding look, along with my mother’s and sister’s looks! We felt beautiful and glamorous without looking like totally different people.

What I loved most about Megan was her professionalism, friendly demeanor, and care. She took her time and was really thoughtful about her work. During the trial, she convinced me to try an eyeshadow look I thought I was against. She did a split face so I could really see the difference and she was right! Megan listened to what I wanted to refine after the trial and delivered for the wedding day! She also helped out in other areas after she was done and caught priceless behind the scenes photos and videos before leaving. I am so grateful for the part she played in making my day a huge success!

Heaven Sent

I had the pleasure of working with Megan during my bridal era from my engagement photo look, my bridal shower look and to close it out with the amazing look she gave me for my wedding day. I am not a big make up person and did not know much about products or what anything about possible skin allergies; Megan took her time and explained each step to me and checked in after each look. Megan is such a sweetheart she makes you feel seen, heard and loved on. She enhances your beauty, and she took such great care of my skin because it is very sensitive. I cannot wait to work with Megan again for my next outing. She was a vendor when we first met but she quickly turned into family at the end. Book with Megan, you won't regret it.

Thank You Megan

Megan.
Wow. You hold such a special place in my heart and memory. As someone who does not wear makeup often, finding a makeup artist for the most important day of my life made me very anxious which is why I wanted to book my beauty team first. I wanted to look elevated, but like myself. After extensive research, Megan was my number one draft pick and luckily enough we hit it off from our first conversation. When it came time for my trial, I was again very anxious. Up until that point Megan and I had only spoken by phone and I had only known her talent via the internet.
Seeing my trial makeup, I boo-hooed like a baby. I saw a bride. I saw ME. My heart was so overwhelmed with gratitude because Megan helped me see something that I had up until that moment only saw in my dreams when I envisioned our wedding day. It was a dream coming into focus for the first time.
My actual day was incredible. And just as it was in my trial, Megan came with such great energy, grace and joy! What a pleasure it was to be on the receiving end of such incredible talent.
Thank you Megan for being such a huge part of making me feel confident and ready for the aisle. I'm forever grateful for you. Thank you thank you thank you

The Best in the Business!!!

I don't even know where to start! Megan made me feel and look beautiful for every single event post my proposal from my engagement party to my wedding day. And each time my makeup not only looked flawless but it lasted for HOURS! I have been in a ton of weddings and each time I was re-applying and touching up my face on my own frequently. This was not the case whenever Megan did my make-up. Her technique is impeccable and she handles feedback with such grace - as her client you are 100% her priority and she will do whatever you ask so that you are comfortable. She also has an amazing team! Every single one of bridesmaids looked AMAZINGGGGGGG on my wedding day.

Aside from her 5 star make-up skills -- Megan is also a wonderful human. From the Starbucks runs before a session to sticking around for 5 extra hours on my wedding day, she has a heart of gold and will root for you even after your wedding day.

Book Megan J as your wedding day MUA, you will not be disappointed!

Professional and Punctual Vendor

Our wedding day was July 16, 2023, and I hired Megan for my bridal makeup. Megan was so professional and timely. Not to mention my make-up came out perfect. I could barely feel the weight of the makeup. You can tell she invests in quality products. She was worth every penny, and she was very flexible. I would choose her again at my next event.

An Amazing Experience with Megan!

Words cannot express how lucky I feel to have found Megan as my makeup artist on my wedding day. Not only is Megan extremely professional and personable, she is such a kind hearted soul who really takes the time to get to know the brides that she works with. From my initial call with Megan, she made me feel at ease and comfortable in choosing her as my make up artist. During the the planning phase, she provided me with a Pinterest board which helped me organize my thoughts for makeup looks for my bridal party and mother and was also very flexible when I wanted to add my grandmothers who were my flower grandmothers. During the bridal preview, Megan took the time to learn about my skin concerns and was very honest and forthcoming when discussing the different ideas for makeup for the wedding day and the differences in the look that I wanted to achieve.

A week or so before the wedding, I received a heads up email from Megan which reminded me to book a facial and to do the little things that would make a difference on my wedding day. On the wedding day, Megan and her assistant were early and she frequently checked in with me to make sure I was doing okay. I received so many compliments on everyone’s make up for that day and I highly recommend that you book Megan for your makeup artist !

Do yourself a favor and book Megan now!

When you book Megan you don't only get an amazing MUA, you also get someone who is extremely patient, kind and so supportive. When I booked my trial with Megan I knew I had made the right decision in booking her. Her energy was so positive and she listened to what I wanted. She enhanced all my best features and made me look so beautiful on my wedding day. Till now I'm getting comments about how gorgeous my makeup was. I got married on 03/25/23 and Megan was by my side actively making sure that my makeup was still flawless and reapplying my lipstick when I needed it. If you need a vendor who's going to make you look amazing and be there for you at the same time, book her!

Blessed MakeUp Experience with Megan J.

Megan J. The makeup artist whose talents extend beyond making you look beautiful. I had the pleasure of booking Megan for my wedding on 11.11 and two months later I am still in awe of the experience. If there is any hesitation let me ease your mind. She has magical hands and a blessed energy. All that you need to make sure there is one less thing to stress about. Megan and her team handled me and my bride tribe with ease. It was a fantastic atmosphere and everyone stayed in the mirror for as long as possible after they were completed. They are still telling me how beautiful they felt that day because of the makeup squad. She makes you feel like a queen. The technique used enhances your natural beauty so you still recognize yourself (especially if you don’t wear make up regularly).

Megan’s services extend beyond the make up chair. She is genuinely concerned about your total experience. She stayed with me through the get ready process all the way until I said “I do” and was there to touch me up for pictures. The make up lasted forever.

After the ceremony she put together a beautiful reel to highlight the experience. She captured everything, and made a beautiful memory for me and others to enjoy.

Megan is highly gifted, a constant professional and takes pride in her craft. I am so glad God steered me her way. Some people enhance your beauty and add to your life in ways unexpected. Megan is definitely that one!!!

Megan is a very talented, a brilliant star in her field. I have never felt more beautiful or confident.

I had great fortune planning my wedding in 2 months, including finding Megan. She transformed this caterpillar into a butterfly. Megan went far above and beyond, the consummate professional with tremendous work ethic. She works with a sense of humor, and a humble, quiet strength. Her warm reassurances will disarm whatever nerves you may have. Megan fully invests in your happiness. Simultaneously, dividends grow exponentially whenever you invest in Megan. But to feel your most beautiful for the most important occasion of your life is a priceless dream. Megan is patient yet dtermined when she has to reapply your makeup for the 10th time because your happy tears won't wait for her to finish. There really are no words other than to say thank you for bolstering my sense of self. It damn near turned into a photo shoot with all that confidence!! Let's not forget the mini touch-up kit you left behind. What a thoughtful, classy parting gift. This fan hopes and believes you will continue rocketing to the top - exactly where you belong.

Megan Is My New Best Friend!!!!

During the process of finding a make-up artist, I stumbled across Megan on Instagram and was highly impressed with her detail of work. I emailed her to set up a consultation and we hit it off IMMEDIATELY! She is very down to earth and made me feel like I knew her my entire life. Once I told her my vision for my wedding, Megan gave me the assurance that I was in good hands. On the day of my wedding, Megan and her team showed up prompt and ready to work. They did a phenomenal job and exceeded our expectations! Megan also stayed at my side for most of the day to ensure my face was photo ready while the tears flowed. She truly is a life saver! Make sure you bring Megan on to your wedding team. YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!!!!!
