About

Michelle is one of the most talented and sought after makeup artists in the industry. Specializing in fresh, glowing skin and eyes that command attention, Michelle has mastered the art of enhancing a woman's natural beauty.

Meet Michelle...

After discovering a zest for beauty and self-expression at a young age, I set out on a journey to develop my own signature style as an artist. Throughout the years I’ve experimented, tested, played and ultimately landed on a technique that is elevated, natural and timeless.

Your time spent with me should be a breath of fresh air amidst the chaos of a special day. I’ll bring the tunes, the ideas, and the energy. All you have to do is show up, relax and be ready to feel like the “Hollywood” version of yourself – glowing, radiant, and ready for your close up!

My Style...

is fresh, glowing and embodies “timeless glamour.” I have always loved natural makeup with just enough glam to make you feel like an elevated version of yourself. After all, when you’re looking back at your photos years from now, I want you to feel just as effortlessly gorgeous as you did on the day they were taken.

In addition to my “less is more” approach to beauty, I put collaboration at the forefront of everything I do. When you’re working with me, you have a teammate you can trust, standing by your side with an encouraging smile, a killer playlist, and all the restaurant recommendations you could ever ask for.

A true professional and experienced make-up Artist

Michelle Stern is an excellent make-up artist. I will 100% recommend her to all my friends and family. Before thankfully going to Michelle My Maid of Honor and I did a couple other make-up trials at well-known beauty salons such as, Beautini where we were utterly disappointed with the results. I for one use quality products when it comes to my face and the make-up I use daily, such products like: Charlotte Tilbury and Giorgio Armani... that said, the products being used from the beauty salons I trialed at were terrible in comparison and the ladies there were noticeably inexperienced. As a bride to be, I was determined to find a professional and trustworthy make-up artist to help me accomplish the flawless radiant look I envisioned. I actually found Michelle's outstanding work through Instagram and after doing a trial with her at Bergdorf Goodman I didn't hesitate to book her for my wedding date. She listened to exactly what I wanted and she only uses the best products! She has impeccable technique mixing colors and using specific brushes to accomplish a beautifully clean and classy finished look. She gave me the radiant "airbrushed look" with dramatic eye lashes I wanted and it held perfectly from morning till the end of the night! She also did my mother's, sister's and best friend's makeup the morning of my wedding and we were all so pleased with the results. What I loved about Michelle is that she is 100% experienced, specifically in doing bridal make-up! She's professional, cultured, and efficient at her job and most importantly makes you feel comfortable which I really needed the morning of my wedding! She's down to earth, fun to talk to, has pristine taste and honestly is just tremendous at what she does so I was confident my make-up would look wonderful on that special day. I'm so grateful I found her!! If you're a bride-to-be or looking for a trustworthy make-up artist do yourself a favor and meet with Michelle, you won't be disappointed :)

I am thrilled to recommend Flawless Beauty for wedding make-up and I can't thank Michelle enough for contributing to my special day. Michelle replies to emails immediately and went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and beautiful. She was so calm, patient and professional and I felt like she really listened to how I envisioned myself looking while walking down the aisle. I can't thank her enough for her help and I encourage other brides to check out Flawless Beauty!

There are plenty of make-up artists out there, but to find one who is exceptionally talented and punctual is very rare. Michelle is affable, dedicated and has a great aesthetic no matter the skin type or ethnicity - she's one of the best! I recommend her highly and without reserve.

As a photographer I have had the chance to work with Michelle on many weddings and boudoir shoots. I've always found her work to be beautiful because she pays attention to detail and knows just how to enhance each woman's best features. When it came time to do my own head shots I knew had to hire Michelle for makeup! Since this photo was going to be the first impression new clients would have of me, I knew I could trust Michelle to make me look like the most beautiful version of myself! I am always confident when I send new clients to Michelle because in addition to her talent, she is extremely reliable, responsive and friendly!

Michelle and I worked together on a classic wedding at the Yale Club last October. My client hired her to apply the makeup of a few ladies in her bridal party. The ladies were so impressed, all the others asked Michelle to apply their make up as well. Michelle's work is excellent. She is so efficient and her personality is a great asset to my day of team. I look forward to our next wedding together!
