You won't regret booking with Merideth!

If you want to feel like the most beautiful version of yourself (and not like you’re just wearing makeup), you NEED Merideth in your life. I’ve never been one to get super glammed up, so I was nervous about my wedding day look, but she made the whole experience feel easy and fun. She doesn’t just put makeup on you; she makes it work with you. It’s like she sees your best features and goes, ‘let’s make those SHINE!’ instead of covering them up.

I felt like me, but on my best day ever—exactly what I wanted for my wedding. Merideth is professional, listens to what you want, asks all the right questions, and makes sure everything is perfect. She made me feel so comfortable and confident from the trial to the day of.

If you’re a bride (or anyone, really) who wants to feel like the absolute best version of yourself—book her. And maybe also prepare to hear people say ‘OMG, you look stunning!’ like 500 times (it’s a nice ego boost, I won’t lie) 💕

Merideth is the best!

If you are looking for a makeup artist who will go above and beyond on your wedding day, look no further than Makeup by Merideth! From my makeup trial to the morning of our wedding, Merideth made me feel so comfortable and at ease. Her bubbly personality and sweet demeanor was an added bonus to her being an absolutely incredible makeup artist. I felt beautiful all day long and I cannot recommend working with Makeup by Merideth enough! Thank you for everything, Merideth!

Where do I even begin?

Where do I even begin with all of the things I love about Merideth?! I initially chose to work with Merideth because I was really blown away by her work and I am so, so thankful I did. Merideth turned out to be such an incredibly sweet, caring, and talented individual and she was honestly one of my favorite wedding vendors! I met Merideth for the first time during my makeup trial and she immediately made me feel super comfortable. Merideth knew exactly what sort of makeup style would look best and she has a really amazing ability to balance looking like yourself while still feeling glam / elevated, which was really important to me. I was so excited to see Merideth on my wedding day - she really is the ultimate hype girl, I wish she could have stuck around the whole day!! :) I loved everything about my wedding day makeup and how she helped me feel so confident. She also did all of my bridesmaid's makeup, which they are still raving about today. Merideth is incredibly talented and so good at what she does - I honestly can't recommend her enough and am so grateful I had the opportunity to work with her!

Never Felt So Beautiful Before in My Life!

Are there enough words to describe how wonderful working with Merideth was? Nope! She is not only an incredibly kind, sweet soul, but she is an absolutely phenomenal makeup artist! I have extremely sensitive skin, and she made all the right recommendations and applied the right products. My makeup was set all day.

Merideth came highly recommended to me by Dragonfly Photography. I sent Merideth a video pleading her to work with me... I know nothing about makeup and try to wear as little as possible (which this was original plan for my wedding day, BTW). I didn't want to look like a painted clown or basically, not look like myself on my wedding day.

I was extremely nervous going to Merideth to have my makeup done for our engagement shoot. She put me at ease right away and was so calm and so sweet and so easy to talk to. I couldn't believe how wonderfully she enhanced my natural beauty! I looked like THE BEST version of myself!

All my bridesmaids, mother of the groom, and junior bridesmaid had their makeup done by her as well on my wedding day as we all got ready together in my home. We looked and felt SO GOOD! And Merideth's energy was so calming for the morning of my wedding. She's the kind of person you want to have around when you're getting ready for the biggest day of your life! And my makeup looked just as perfect at the end of the day as it did at the beginning.

I'm so, so grateful for Merideth and for how amazing I looked and felt on my wedding day! I can't recommend her highly enough!

Beautiful!!!!

Merideth is so incredibly talented! She is so easy to work with and is such an amazing person all around. She is someone you want to have around on your wedding day! Merideth is professional, and even won my mother over who never wears makeup! I was most anxious about my makeup for my wedding day but once I met Merideth and did a trial with her, all of that anxiety melted away. She did my makeup for my engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner and wedding day. I really cannot say enough about how wonderful she is!

Best Makeup Artist in CLE

Meredith is not only an AMAZING makeup artist, but also an absolutely lovely human! Her style of makeup is very natural and romantic. The way she made me look and feel on my wedding day was worth every penny I spent to hire her. You wont regret hiring her as your makeup artist, I can promise you that!

Absolutely incredible

Words can’t describe how amazing Meredith was during the whole planning process, trial and the day of the wedding. She is beyond professional, calm and easy to talk to/work with in creating your prefect bridal look. It was easy to schedule a trial with her, while at the trial, the discussion and attention to detail were unmatched, and at the end, she took pictures and notes on what exact colors/blends/style! Then on your wedding day she will show up with her own chair and light, and her makeup *suitcase* & she will make your dream look become reality. Her work speaks for itself. It was hands down most amazing makeup application I’ve ever gotten. I would recommend her 100 times over to every bride I meet, or even if you ever just need a “glam look” for a night out. The airbrush makeup she uses was light and didn’t clog my pores, and Meredith made it look so natural. I truly cannot day enough amazing things.

I don't even know where to begin in thanking Merideth for being there on my wedding day!!
First of all, she goes out of her way to be there for her clients, and I mean that quite literally: my wedding was in Germany and that didn't stop her from coming to double as Maid of Honor and Makeup Artist!
This alone speaks for how dedicated she is to making every bride's big day absolutely amazing. She did my makeup, my mom's, and one other bridesmaid alongside herself. Despite the chaos in our venue, she was laser focused the whole time and we all looked absolutely stunning.
Merideth truely is one of the nicest, most passionate, and most thoughtful people I have ever met. Not only am I truely blessed that she was able to come to my big day, I am forever grateful to her for making me feel the most beautiful I've ever felt on the best day of my life.
She gets 5/5 from me and I would recommend her to anyone, anytime, and quite literally anywhere.

Merideth made my entire bridal party so beautiful on my wedding day. She was so fun to work with and was also really good at keeping me calm when I was feeling pretty stressed. My makeup stayed put all night long (she used the airbrush on me) and looked great in photos.
