May River Made Up Team is the Best of the Best

Amanda and her team are the best of the best! They are definitely the team you want on your big day. I loved my hair and make-up and my bridal party loved their's too. Amanda and Sarah made getting ready so fun and relaxing.

In addition to hair and makeup, Amanda came to where I was staying to give me and a few others in the wedding a spray tan. All the products Amanda and her team used were top of the line.

Amanda is so easy to work with and listens to how you want to look on your special day. She's also an awesome resource! I was from out of town and I asked her for recommendations on a number of different things -- all of them were fabulous!

I can't say enough good things about May River Made Up! They truly helped me feel extra special on my wedding day.

Wedding Makeup

Amanda is amazing! She did my makeup for my wedding day and my rehearsal. She made me look stunning and kept me calm through the entire experience! She is extremely professional and knowledgeable and I received so many compliments because Amanda made me look FLAWLESS! I couldn’t have imagined going with any other makeup artist other than her. She knew exactly what I was aiming for and that is what I got. I would recommend Amanda without hesitation. She is a highly skilled makeup artist and makes you feel truly special!

Wonderful HMU team!!

Charea, Macy, and Becky with May River Made Up did an absolutely incredible job for me, my bridesmaids, my mom and my husband's mom!! I have seriously never felt so stunningly beautiful in my entire life! They were also so kind, easygoing, open to all of our requests, and our hair and makeup looked perfect all night thanks to them. I was coming from out of town and they were able to schedule a last-minute trial for me, which I greatly appreciated! Thank you ladies for being a dream HMU team!

If you're looking to feel and look like a princess, look no further

When I met Amanda for the first time, I immediately knew she was the stylist and makeup artist for me. Her sense of humor, kindness, flexibility, and expertise are unmatched. I have very dry, sensitive skin and am also very fair complected. Amanda worked with me to find the best makeup for my skin, and she gave me her phone number in case I had any questions. She was there every step of way! On the day of the wedding, when Amanda entered the room, talk about zen vibes with a spark of humor! All of my bridesmaids loved her, and she made me feel like the most beautiful person in the world. When I saw myself in the mirror that day, I almost cried. Amanda and her team were incredible, and if I could have her by my side doing my hair and makeup everyday, I would. If you're looking for someone to make you feel and look your best, look no further. Amanda and her team are incredible.

Destination Bride

Amanda was great to work with. I came in to Hilton Head Island from out of town, so I was unable to have a trial. I was very nervous but Amanda reassured me throughout the process and I am very happy with how it turned out! My makeup lasted the whole day. I had a hiccup with my hair: she brought someone with her who did my hair and I wasn’t happy with the first style she did - I think a trial would have avoided those issues. But she was very quick and willing to fix my hair to a style that was closer to what I wanted and I am very pleased with how it turned out! Thank you Amanda for making me feel beautiful for my wedding!

Perfect! Just what I needed.

Amanda came to my villa and spray tanned me and it was soo simple and convenient. She was extremely kind and professional- plus very reasonably priced as well. I highly recommend her to anyone that is in need of a spray tan. My color looks amazing and very natural. Totally worth the money!!!
