About

I provide professional, on location makeup services including airbrush and lash applications. I specialize in flawless, natural looking brides and bridal parties-- I believe on your wedding day you should like the best version of you!

I obsessively hone what gets put in my kit. If it's not the highest quality, highest performing product, me and it don't do "the dance." I airbrush (I exclusively use Kett, I really don't think anything else compares), I do make up by hand-- frankly, I'd do make up in my sleep if I could! Some of the brands that you can find in my kit are Make Up Forever, Smashbox, NARS, Laura Mercier, Benefit and Bobbi Brown.

I've been in the beauty industry for what feels like forever, but in reality, has been a little over ten years. Make up courses through my veins-- if I were to accidently cut my finger cutting celery, I'd bleed lipstick. I kid you not.

Make up's the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing I think about before I go to sleep. I nerd out over blush colors the way the rest of the city does about the Steelers. And y'all really nerd out over the Steelers!

I named my company after a Greek word I stumbled upon quite accidently. I was reading through a list of people's favorite words on a literary forum-- the list was truthfully, epic and awesome and for a minute made me understand why the universe probably couldn't handle life on Mars or anywhere else for that matter-- when I stumbled upon the word "meraki." It was described as a word that meant doing something with soul, creativity or love--"to put something of yourself into whatever you're doing." This is exactly how I feel how when I'm doing makeup. It's visceral.

But as much as I love make up, I love meeting new people. I become emotionally invested in every face I have the privilege of touching. While we may meet as strangers, I promise we'll leave as friends.

Cheers to the multitude of beauty that surrounds us.

Michaela is awesome! She is so talented and is so nice and easy to talk to. She listened to exactly what I wanted and did an amazing job with my makeup and my bridal party's. She even came right to my house (and on a Sunday!) for my pre-wedding trial - so convenient and accommodating! Highly recommended.

I'm so happy I went with Meraki Makeup! Michaela was so great to work with. She was very accommodating during the whole process. Every person in my wedding party was very happy with there makeup. No one felt over done. Michaela really specializes in natural looks, and that is exactly what I wanted and got. She made the process very enjoyable and relaxing, I would highly recommend Michaela to anyone!

Michaela was wonderful. My makeup looked fantastic and STAYED that way long into the night. I had a 4:30pm ceremony and well after the midnight bonfire and too many glasses (bottles) of champagne I looked great! She was punctual and prepared when she met me on site, and was gracious and personable with my family and bridal party. It was a great experience and I would recommend Michaela to anyone.

Michaela is absolutely amazing! Her makeup application is flawless and beautiful. She explained each of her products and application techniques along the way so you can look stunning everyday. She also listened to what each girl in the wedding party wanted but also made suggestions to enhance each individual bridesmaids' beauty. The process was relaxing and enjoyable and I highly recommend her.

Michaela applied my wedding makeup, as well as my mom's, my mother-in-law's and bridal party. Everyone's makeup could not have looked more beautiful, polished and also came out beautifully in the pictures. Michaela is highly skilled, incredibly personable and timely. I would recommend her to anyone!

Michaela did my makeup for a friend's wedding and did an excellent job. I wanted something that would look polished without being overdone, and my makeup came out perfectly. I also loved that she recommended a few of her favorite products to me during the process!

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Michaela! She responded to me very quickly when I first reached out and was a pleasure to work with through the entire experience. She took all the stress out of planning my look for the wedding day and knew exactly what I wanted (even when I didnt!). She did the makeup for me, my mom and my 5 bridesmaids using an airbrush machine. She was extremely skilled and worked very quickly and efficiently. I felt beautiful on the day of the wedding and loved the way my photos came out. Besides her amazing work Michaela was so personable and had all the girls laughing and having a good time. I would definitely recommend her to any bride!
