    Great Experience

    We recently booked hair and makeup services, as well as photography, with Megan for our 25th anniversary vow renewal ceremony, and we couldn’t be more pleased with the experience.

    From the initial communication, Megan was responsive, clear, and reassuring—making the entire planning process smooth and stress-free. She reached out the day before the event to reconfirm all details and even provided her cell number for any last-minute coordination, which gave us great peace of mind.

    On the day of the ceremony, Megan arrived early at our hotel, fully prepared and organized. She delivered stunning hair and makeup results that truly enhanced the occasion. Later, at the ceremony venue, Megan was again ahead of schedule and captured beautiful, heartfelt moments through her photography.

    Megan is an absolute joy to work with—professional, talented, and thoughtful. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone looking for exceptional beauty and photography support for their special event.

    Magical Makeup with Megan

    Megan @ Big Island Hawaii Makeup was amazing and so easy to book. Not only did she reply to my email request ASAP, she answered all of my questions, and sent me a cost breakdown. On the day of the wedding, Megan showed up 10 minutes early to set up...so she could start right on time. She asked me what I wanted and she recommended some solutions, like how to position my veil. Makeup was flawless! She gave me a touch-up kit, but never had to use it, because the makeup lasted for hours. She also did makeup/hair styling for my Fiance. Because we were eloping, she was enough to handle the services for the both of us. Friendly, experienced, confident in her abilities and problem solver. She made my wedding even more magical, because I looked beautiful for my wedding. I will definitely be booking Megan for any event on the Big Island.

    Fun and flawless

    Megan and her team are professionals in the truest sense: They are responsive, punctual, organized, highly skilled and knowledgeable, and have great attention to detail and artistry. Working with them was not stressful at all (every bride's dream). I was so impressed with how meticulous they were my bridal hair and makeup and how well they listened to all (i.e., me, my MOH, mother, and MIL) of our preferences for our looks. It was evident that they wanted us to look and feel perfect -- and we did! Their work was age- and role-appropriate and made us all feel truly beautiful and ready for wedding day. I highly recommend Big Island Hawaii Makeup to any bride! Mahalo nui loa!

    Thank you so much Gioia! We had so much fun getting you all ready, and are so happy for you! You are such a beautiful bride inside and out! Cheers to a lifetime of happiness!

    Above and beyond!

    I had a time crunch for my morning wedding and had asked to reschedule for an earlier time. Megan was so nice about it. So I went in early with an Uber. She was so sweet and even told me about her friends rental cars in turo. While doing my makeup she contacted her friend and helped get us into a car and now we're able to drive around Hawaii without spending all our money on Uber/Lyft. I would 100,000 % recommend her for your makeup needs while in Hawaii. My makeup was so beautiful and I got to my wedding early all thanks to her! Once I get my wedding photos I'll be sure too include them

    Excellent Make Up Artistis

    I had an amazing experience with Big Island Hawaii Makeup for my wedding day. The makeup artists were professional and experienced, and they worked efficiently under tight time constraints. They had a great knowledge of how to work with different skin types and complexions, and they made sure to use high-quality products that were long-lasting and worked well with different skin types.

    What stood out to me the most was their attention to detail. They had an eye for detail and made sure to achieve a flawless look for me and my entire wedding party. They listened to what I wanted and also made suggestions if needed, which I really appreciated.

    Overall, I highly recommend Big Island Hawaii Makeup for any bride looking for a makeup artist for their wedding day. They were easy to work with, used high-quality products, and made me feel beautiful on my special day.

    Wedding Makeup

    My Wedding Party and I got our hair and makeup done for my wedding. Megan and Jen showed up on time and got everyone done in a timely matter. Everyone loved their hair and makeup, especially my three year old flower girl! Our makeup and hair lasted through the night as well! I highly recommend Megan and her team!

    Amazing wedding makeup and hair

    Megan and Jen were amazing!! My hair and makeup stayed in place during the heat and rain. I also wear glasses and the makeup stayed in place on the bridge of the nose. They were both so kind, efficient, and did exactly what I envisioned. My pictures came out great. You will be very happy on your wedding day if you book Big Island Hawaii Makeup.

    Super impressed!

    As a licensed cosmetologist I am very picky about services I get done. Im usually disappointed with the service quality I receive.

    That was NOT the case with Megan and her crew. They were talented, kind and professional.

    My hair is thin and broken from bleach and Leigh made me look like a straight up Barbie, I don’t even know how she pulled this off. I couldn’t have been happier with the quality of service I received. Thank you again for making me feel so beautiful on my special day!

    So easy, so beautiful

    Megan was so wonderful to work with. She was super flexible working with me and my ever changing plans of who was getting what when. The hair stylist Leigh was also perfect. She did the entire bridal party so fast we even had time to hang out afterwards! I would recommend these ladies to everyone. Thanks so much!

    Bridal Party Makeup and Branding Photos

    Megan did my mom’s makeup and some of my bridal party makeup for my wedding in September. Throughout the booking process she was professional and knowledgeable. On the day of my wedding, she did an absolutely amazing job! My mom was really hesitant to have someone else do her makeup, as she hardly wears a full face. Megan did such a good job of making my mom look glam while still balancing a natural look. The rest of the bridal party looked amazing too!

    I recently booked her again for some personal branding photos. She did an amazing job of making me look flawless but also professional. Highly, highly recommend Megan for all of your makeup needs!

    Flawless and efficient

    Megan did my makeup for a beautiful birthday photoshoot. I loved the way it turned out! As a performer, I’m used to getting my make up done regularly and I don’t like sitting for too long. Megan did a flawless job and didn’t keep me sitting forever. She was quick and efficient, without sacrificing quality. A pleasure to chat with too. Highly recommended!

    Megan was amazing

    Big Island Hawaii Makeup is so amazing! I did not do a trial with her, because we didn't arrive on the island until 3 days before the wedding, but she had such wonderful reviews and Instagram photos that I trusted it would be ok. And all her reviews were so right! She made me look and feel so gorgeous, as well as all of my bridesmaids and my mother-in-law. Even before I met her, through all my email exchanges with her, she was so professional and so nice! I highly recommend using Big Island Hawaii Makeup, you will be so happy that you did!

    Completed my look!

    Had a great experience with Megan. The coordinator at the hotel linked me up with Megan the DAY of my wedding and I couldn't be more pleased with my experience. She was very responsive to my wishes for make up but I didn't need to give her much as she was that great! I would absolutely recommend her!

    Megan was amazing!

    Megan was exactly what I was looking for, responsive and talented. She helped me plan out my wedding day so it was stress free, I would recommend her to anyone getting married on the big island. She made us all look so beautiful and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I had two bridesmaids, two moms and I get our hair and makeup done.

    On-time and came to us!

    First off, I really appreciate that she came to our location and traveled to us so we could be comfortable in our own space and comfy in our casual clothes. I don't typically wear a lot of make up so I was really worried it would be "too much" for me and I can't say enough how happy I was. She uses Mac makeup and she did "natural" per my request. It came out amazing. She's very tallented and I highly recommend.

    Beautiful Makeup

    Megan does a beautiful job. I've seen her do makeup for my friends for professional photo shoots and she really brings out their natural beauty. She can do anything your looking for, light an natural, heavy and dramatic, add lashes etc. I've seen her work on all skin types and colors as well- everyone she works on comes out looking fabulous! Megan is also very friendly and easy to be around. I highly recommend her as a makeup artist for whatever event or photo shoot you need.

    Engagement photos

    Megan was wonderful and very flexible with immediate re-scheduling after an emergency. Took feedback and adapted the look to what I wanted for both hair and makeup, both that held up well for the night.

    Great flexible service

    We did bridal hmu and flower girl hmu. My bridal look was gorgeous and all I provided was a reference for something close to the look I wanted. My daughter did flower girl hair and she initially decided she didn't like the girls so they quickly reworked her hair and she was happy. They were kind, understanding and very flexible making our wedding day very relaxed!

    Above and beyond!

    I had a small ceremony with just my fiancé and two boys in attendance. They not only did amazing make up and hair, but helped me get dressed (since I did not have bridesmaids to help!) and captured our “first look” moment.

    Thank you so much for the kind words! We are so happy for you all and loved every minute, thank you for letting us be a part of your special day and we wish you both a lifetime of happiness
