About

Welcome to Molly Elise Makeup + Hair!

My passion is making a bride feel absolutely gorgeous and totally comfortable in her look at the same time. My signature bridal makeup can be described as “soft glam”. This provides a flawless, camera-ready look while guaranteeing the bride still feels like herself. The result is stunning, wearable, and timeless.

Great natural glam that stays ALL day!

I couldn’t have asked for a better glam team!! From the moment I looked at their portfolio I knew they would be the perfect team to help me feel my best —and still look like me—on an important day that would put my glam to the test.
Well, on a warm Midwest day it did just that!! Wind swept, sweat, dancing, smiles, tears and anything in between and my glam stayed PUT! To quote my MOH at the end of the night “how do you still look so good?! It’s not fair.”
Their kindness was felt on the big day as they accommodated my non traditional getting ready space and made due with what they had available. Everything turned out perfect!! I would recommend them 110% to anyone hoping to enhance their natural beauty on their big day and also feel like they’re hanging with one of the girls in the morning.

Molly is the best!!!!

Molly is amazing! My mother in law, bridesmaids and I absolutely loved her. Not only is she the sweetest person, but she is extremely talented:) so easy to work with- I was referred to her by a good friend and I’m so thankful my friend had found her. Thank you so much for making me so beautiful for my special day, Molly! I will send anyone I know who needs their makeup done your way :)

Molly is amazing!

I live in Texas but my wedding was at Pine Creek Escape in Oregon, IL. I was looking for someone local and came across Molly when she commented on an Illinois bridal post. I went to her social media pages and was in awe of her work. As a 56 year old bride, I was so impressed to see how she made mature skin look flawless and youthful. I knew at that moment she had to be my makeup artist. I had an amazing trial which helped determine my day-of look. On wedding day, not only did she do the getting ready makeup for myself, my two adult daughters, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and two niece-in-laws but I had her stay through part of the reception to do touch ups after my crying moments and ensure my makeup stayed flawless for pictures. My makeup that day was stunning and exceeded my expectations. I’ve never felt so beautiful and I know the other ladies felt the same way. Molly is an amazing makeup artist and I’m so thankful she was a part of my special day.

Wedding hair & makeup

I absolutely could not have asked for a better person to do our hair/makeup for my wedding!!! Molly was such a joy to work with and be around!! With multiple unexpected last minute changes that came up, she was super accommodating and flexible and made it all work out. She really helped orchestrate the timeline the morning of the wedding. Couldn’t have done it without her!! As someone who does not do my own hair or makeup very well it was hard to explain or know what I wanted for my wedding day, but Molly did it better than I could have even imagined and it all turned out absolutely perfect. The trial was wonderful as well to work through how it was all going to go. All of my bridesmaids, mom and grandma had nothing but positive things to say about their hair and makeup as well!! I completely recommend Molly for hair and makeup needs!!

The best ever!

1000000% recommend Molly. She is not only one of the sweetest humans ever but she is also absolutely amazing at making your makeup dreams come true. She is so easy going. I showed her a picture of the look I was going for & she nailed it. All my girls were so pleased with their looks. I can’t wait to get our pictures back so I can show her work off! Love her!

Make up artisit

Molly did my makeup for my wedding day, along with all of my bridesmaids, and did a fantastic job! She really listened to exactly the type of look I was going for and had the perfect foundation color already made up for the day of. She did a great job with what I wanted for my eyes and applied just a few individual false lashes so that they looked full but not obviously overdone. The makeup lasted all day, I never had to worry about reapplying anything! I would highly recommend Molly for your wedding day.

Highly recommend!!

Molly was absolutely incredible to work with on my wedding day! She made my makeup look natural yet bridal—I loved it! My makeup looked great ALL day and night at our outdoor reception despite it being one of the hottest summer days. My bridesmaids also loved her work—everyone looked amazing. Highly highly recommend working with Molly!!

Molly is the best!

My experience with Molly was excellent (it always is). She did my make up for my engagement photos, bridal shower and my wedding. I still felt like it was “me” and my own glam. She listens to your needs and creates looks based on your canvas! Her services are of quality. Thank you Molly for always creating a stunning look and making me feel beautiful in my skin!
