I had my wedding on September 6, 2014. Melissa was able to squeeze me in last minute a little less than a month before my wedding. Greatest makeup artist ever! The moment I saw my makeup trial I knew she was the one for me. I brought pictures of what I wanted and she gave lots of suggestions and tips to have the look suit my face shape, eyes and all since I am of Asian descent. i went to other makeup artists for trials and the outcome was not anywhere close to what I wanted especially I showed them the same picture I showed Melissa. I opted for the package with the spray tan and I was so happy it came out natural and looking great! My husband was hesitant of the spray tan but was very pleasantly surprised it looked natural and great. She came on the wedding site early before our scheduled time and did a wonderful job and also left me a touch up kit. Thank you Melissa for me feeling beautiful and confident on my wedding day with your makeup skills! Highly recommended!!

Melissa did spray tans for me and my bridesmaids! She did an awesome job. We looked perfectly tanned but not orange. She was super nice and worked with our tight schedules!

Melissa is awesome!! I've had her do my makeup for a couple of big occasions and it's always been PERFECT!

She's very friendly, open, and flexible. She caters to your wants, needs, and preferences. She LISTENS!

She's won MULTIPLE awards and her work proves it! The first time she did my makeup, it was exact!! No changes needed - not even "a little less/more here" or a "let's try this instead." It was awesome!

Not only does she do special occasions, but she offers makeup lessons and airbrush tanning as well! Book her for your next makeup need!

Melissa was absolutely amazing! She did a wonderful job! My makeup held up through the whole wedding without needing any touch-ups she worked with me during my trial to get my makeup exactly how I wanted it and was so flexible in regards to having to drive all the way out to Barona Resort to help me out so I could be ready for my 9am photos. Without her I know my makeup wouldn't have looked not even close to as nice as she was able to do. Thank you so much Melissa!

I have never looked so beautiful! Thank you so much! I looked and felt like a princess and I owe it to you. The AirBrush make up stayed on until the next morning! Do you believe it!!! SO AMAZING!! All my girls looked beautiful, as well. Originally she only planned on providing make up services for 3 girls (including myself) and once the girls say how great the make up turned out of my first bridesmaid, they ALL (7 including me) wanted to get it done. Melissa was so flexible and so great, she buckled down and did us all! I couldn't believe it! she was completely sweet, competitively priced and such a pleasure!!! I can not thank you enough! I will definitely be using her again for all my skin care and make up needs!

Thanks again

I was on the fence about hiring someone to do my makeup because I was not sure it was worth the money. Once I saw Melissa’s pictures I knew I wanted her to do my makeup. Melissa was very easy to work with and did an amazing job on my makeup as well as my matron and mom.
