A true talent

Emily is hands down the most wonderfully talented makeup and hair artist ever! From the first over the phone consultation to the final touches on my wedding day, the experience has been nothing short of incredible. Me and my sister in laws loved her work so much I immediately hired her again for a post nuptial party in my hometown. For both events Emily made me and my bridal party feel confident and the most beautiful version of ourselves. If you're looking for natural and flawless bridal glam, search no further. I 10/10 recommend this absolutely wonderful, kind, and talented human being for your wedding day!!

Best decision!

Emily was a phenomenal find and she was so helpful in making my day unforgettable! From the trial to the special day, she ensured that I felt stunning. She’s easygoing, talented, and was worth every penny. She also worked with my bridesmaids and they all loved their looks!

Best hair and makeup artist!!

Emily is an incredible makeup artist!!!! I am very picky with my makeup and I looked at many different makeup artists, and ultimately Emily was an easy choice. She did the exact look I was envisioning and it looked more perfect than I could have imagined. I was so happy that she also does hair so that I only had to hire one vendor for both! She did a great job with my hair and it held its curl all night even though my hair does not like to stay curled!! Couldn’t recommend anyone more!! Pick Emily!

Best Decision Ever!!

I seriously can’t recommend Emily and her team at Melt Makeup enough. From the start, she was so thoughtful and intentional—she took the time to help me find products that worked best for my skin and made me feel like the best version of myself.

She also did makeup for me, my mom, and my sister for the rehearsal dinner, which was such a fun way to get some extra practice and try out a different look before the big day. It made me even more confident and excited for the wedding!

On the wedding day, Emily and her team did makeup for 13 (yes, 13) between 7:30 AM and noon, and somehow made it feel totally relaxed and fun the entire time. She was such a calming presence and honestly felt like one of the girls—chatting, laughing, and keeping everything running smoothly without a hint of stress.

Everyone looked amazing, and the makeup held up beautifully all day. If you’re looking for someone who is incredibly talented and just an all-around awesome person to have by your side, book Emily.

Absolutely amazing!!!!

Absolutely amazing!! I did not do the Bridal Preview but Emily took the time to hop on a call to review everything I wanted. As a bride, it’s super nerve racking getting your makeup done but she exceeded my expectations!! Zero complaints - she never pressured any certain look on me & was extremely helpful throughout our entire session. As a girl who doesn’t wear a whole lot of makeup on the daily, she made sure I was comfortable with how I looked on my big day. My hair was exactly what I wanted. 10/10 !!!

HMUA jackpot!!

Would give 10000/10 if I could. I cannot express enough how grateful I am for Emily and the incredible work she did on my mom’s hair and makeup for her wedding day. As an older bride with mature skin, my mom trusted Emily and let her work her magic, and she made my mom feel and look like the most beautiful bride imaginable. Emily delivered a flawless glam that my mom’s beauty and confidence. From the moment Emily arrived, she was warm, professional, and incredibly personable, making the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Her attention to detail and ability to perfect any look, whether it's soft and romantic or bold and glamorous, really shines through in her work. Emily's years of experience and genuine love for what she does were evident in every detail from makeup to hair. She didn’t just do my mom’s hair and makeup; she helped make the entire day more magical. My mom felt radiant and completely at ease, and that truly set the tone for the rest of the day. I recommend Emily wholeheartedly for either her hair or makeup services. If you let her glam you on your wedding day, you’ll hit the bridal jackpot. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care for each client are unmatched, and I can’t imagine anyone leaving her chair without feeling like the most beautiful version of themselves. She’s a true artist, and any bride (or mother of the bride/bridesmaid!) would be lucky to have her on their special day.

Emily exceeds all expectations!

Melt Makeup (Emily) absolutely crushed all the wedding looks on our special day. What I loved the most about her style is that, looking back on our photographs, I still look like me! Emily really knows how to make her brides shine and accentuate their features without the look overpowering the person. From inquiry to trial to wedding day, she was a great communicator, made me feel comfortable, and absolutely delivered. She even went as far as to help my dad touch up his fading eyebrows! I would HIGHLY recommend hiring Emily and Melt Makeup for your wedding day beauty needs.

10/10 Experience

I cannot recommend Emily enough! From the initial consultation to the final touches on my wedding day, everything was seamless and exceeded my expectations. She listened carefully to my vision, understood my style, and perfectly matched my look with the wedding’s aesthetic. The makeup was flawless, elegant, and felt so natural—it lasted all day and looked incredible in photos! She is truly an artist, enhancing natural beauty without feeling overdone. I received countless compliments, and I couldn’t have been happier. If you're looking for someone who will make you feel like the best version of yourself on your special day, go with Emily at Melt Makeup!

Even better than I imagined!

Emily was my hair/makeup artist for my wedding, and she was AMAZING! My trial was amazing, but she was happy to book a second one when I decided I wanted to change a few things about my look. I would not change ONE THING about my hair or makeup on my wedding day. She was easy to work with, super nice, and she is so talented! I told her my hair never holds a curl, and she assured me she'd get it done. Well, my curls lasted for THREE DAYS! 10/10, 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, all of the ratings.

Destination Wedding HMU

Emily is AMAZING! I took a big risk and flew her out to Montana without a trial, and it paid off big time. Not only is her work incredible, but she is such a joy to be around and made me feel so comfortable. I am obsessed with both of my looks, and my bridesmaids said it was the best HMU they have ever gotten done. I am SO glad she was with me on my big day!
