Melissa came highly recommended! After my trial session, I knew she was the right choice. Her application is clean and customized to each person. My make up lasted HOURS and looked fresh until the end of the night! It lasted through the tears and heat! My bridal party looked GORGEOUS! Melissa is hands down the person you need to feel beautiful on your wedding day!

Melissa did my makeup for my “micro” wedding this past March, along with the makeup for all the women in my family, and she did a fabulous job!! Melissa and her assistant were so fun and friendly, the planning was a breeze despite there being 10 of us, and we all walked away feeling beautiful. I think my now-husband summed it up well with his first words when he saw me: Wow! I’d book Melissa again in a heartbeat (and since my mother-in-law lives nearby, I will be putting her makeup products on my Christmas wishlist from now on!)

Melissa did my makeup for my November wedding and I couldn't have been happier with the job she did. Not only did she do my makeup, she did all my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law. She was very organized and got us all done in plenty of time to get ready at the venue. She was extremely friendly, welcoming, and I just can't say enough good things about Melissa and her team. She added so much joy to my big day and I'm so grateful that I was able to work with her. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a quality make-up job at a reasonable cost. Her adorable salon and collaboration with the hair salon next door made the experience fun and easy.

I cannot thank Makeup by Melissa Franklin enough and specifically, Emily Carter, for doing the most stunning makeup for my wedding on November 30, 2019. The day started a bit rushed but as I sat down to get makeup done it was like peace filled their salon. I didn’t have to worry because they do a trial and I knew everything she was going to do on the day of. Emily has great style and excellent skill. I highly recommend this makeup artist for any big event, wedding or fancy party where exquisite makeup is a must! Thank you so much Melissa for your quick communication and for getting me in so quickly!

I loved working with Melissa for my special day, she did a wonderful job!

Melissa was a great make up artist! I don’t normally wear a lot of make up and she made me feel beautiful and natural. She was great at talking through our options during my trial. My bridesmaids all loved their make up too!

Melissa is a great makeup artist. When I had my trial everything went well and we planned to move forward with my makeup as it was for the trial. Come my wedding day, someone who waxed my eyebrows the day before burned the skin off my eyelids and they were peeling. Melissa knew exactly how to change up my eye makeup so you couldn’t even notice it, and it came out perfectly. She is just awesome!

Extremely helpful. As someone who doesn’t wear a lot of makeup they made me feel comfortable. Turned out great.

Melissa exceeded absolutely all expectations for my wedding makeup. As someone who doesn't wear more than basic foundation and eyeliner on a daily basis, she made me feel more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She knew exactly which shades looked best on me, and made my whole look come together. She even makes her own makeup, making it so much more natural for your face and skin! I cannot recommend her enough and only regret I don't live closer for her to do my makeup on all my special occasions!

Absolutely loved working with Melissa! She made the day picture perfect. I would highly recommend!
