Mickie Hanson Make-Up Artistry & Hair Design

I found Mickie when researching hair and make up artists for my Yosemite elopement, and let me tell you SHE IS WORTH EVERY PENNY. Having skin of color, I was so nervous that my foundation would not match or my overall look would not be as natural as I wanted. Mickie took my inspirational photos and absolutely KILLED IT. She and her husband make an excellent, professional, and kind team. They made the morning of my wedding unforgettable. She comes in with a full kit and set up and I was so impressed with the variety of product she owns. My make up lasted ALL DAY without moving or melting off- and we hiked all day in the beating sun. I could not be more impressed at Mickie's work and service. Spend the extra $$$, you will not be disappointed- she knows what she is doing!! THANK YOU MICKIE, for making me look and feel like a princess on our special day.

Mickie and her husband Anthony delivered the best service I could ever imagine. They were able to accommodate my fiancé and I, at last second, for our engagement shoot in the Yosemite area. Mickie is a professional: she’s top notch at her craft and she was so kind and patient with me during the entire process and was able to make me feel so calm and cared for. I am what I call “make up dumb” and normally don’t do any makeup save eyeshadow and mascara on special occasions. I left the makeup and hair styling completely up to her, and I could not have been more pleased with the end result. Mickie truly has an eye for this, and she is so passionate and knowledgeable, teaching me along the way. Mickie was so much fun to be around and I honestly could not imagine using any other makeup service after being with her! Anthony was so helpful, and they work extremely well together as a team. He even went out with my fiancé to get breakfast for us ladies while we were busy. I’m extremely excited for my wedding and having these two there with me to make it a success.

Mickie did my makeup and hair (and my groom’s hair!) for our recent elopement in Yosemite. She was a dream to work with. I’m fairly far from the Mariposa county area, so we skipped a trial and worked from notes about what the day entailed, my own preferences, and sharing reference photos. From all of that, Mickie sent me back her vision for the look — sounded solid — and on the day of, we rolled with it!

And wow, did she execute that vision beautifully. My hair did things I didn’t even know were possible, and it looked effortless, held together by magic, haha. Seriously, it held up through rock scrambling and wind. And so did the makeup! Mickie’s kit is filled to the brim with high-end products; she basically brings a Sephora to you and then some. (And bless Anthony, her husband and assistant, for keeping everything so clean and organized!)

Aside from her talent, I really appreciated Mickie’s energy throughout the entire process. She is so warm and caring. I adored all of her stories and she really helped set the tone for what turned out to be a truly wonderful day.
