    You Don’t Know What You Don’t Know — Debbie Does

    We hired Debbie Hill of Events Couture for our independent movie premiere, and I honestly don’t know how we would have pulled it off without her.

    From the beginning, Debbie handled everything with so much poise and professionalism. She was prepared for anything, and she thought of details I never would have considered on my own. Because of her, I was able to actually be present with my guests and enjoy the night instead of running around putting out fires. She helped me execute a perfect speech.

    Debbie knows how to get people to help her, how to manage different personalities under stress, and how to calmly roll with the punches when things don’t go exactly according to plan. She even stayed longer than she needed to, and worked with us on fairly short notice at an incredible value.

    Beyond her skills, she’s just a joy to be around — grounded, kind, and completely in control in the best way. She is truly a master of her craft. If she could make our movie premiere feel seamless and special, she's even better (if that's even possible) with weddings. I recommend her wholeheartedly.

    You will not regret blush by marie

    LET ME TELL YOU!!!!!
    They were all incredibly friendly, EVERY bridesmaid was so happy with their work and they were so easy to work with. Now, I had my own makeup artist dedicated only to the bride and my gosh, she NAILED every inch of my makeup and hair. I can’t even put into words how magical it was. I was SOOOOO happy with this group of ladies and I HIGHLY recommend using them!!! You will not be disappointed.

    Felt So Beautiful! Hair and Makeup

    Never have I ever felt more beautiful. Brittany was my lead artist, she was amazing and so nice. My bridesmaids and mother of bride/groom loved the experience. My trial was smooth and easy and Brittany was very responsive to any input I had which created my flawless wedding day look. Blush was easy to work with as a company, discussed pricing and availability directly with the owner who was patient and answered all my questions. It is a 50% deposit, which is steep and I was hesitant due to COVID but it worked out and Melissa was able to spell everything out in the contract. Her coordinator Ashley was SO responsive and awesome, very professional.

    Hair and Makeup for Wedding

    Melissa and her crew were very professional and did a great job with the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, groomswoman, my mother, mother of the groom, and myself. We all looked great! Melissa was willing to set my hair last minute because I was worried my curls wouldn't stay. Thank you for everything!

    An absolute dream!

    Blush was incredibly responsive and eager to work with me to make my vision for my wedding come true. They were very accommodating and made it simple to coordinate the trial and day of services. The prices are extremely reasonable especially considering the quality of work.

    In all honesty, I was hesitant to book any HMU artist for myself and my bridal party because most of us are Black and it is very difficult to find reviews or many diverse portfolio photos. However, I forgot about all of these worries as soon as I met our lead artist, Erin, and had my trial. Erin is incredible and I had no concerns once I was in her chair. She achieved my dream look effortlessly and had me looking better than I could have ever expected. Beyond her skill and talent, Erin is extremely kind and easy to talk to - she made the experience perfect! I cannot praise Blush by M. Marie enough. If you are looking for HMU for a special occasion, stop looking and book now!

    Awesome experience

    Blush was always very responsive even on the weekends when I expected to wait until Monday for a reply. They were flexible and made it easy to coordinate the trial at my own apartment and the day of services at our Airbnb. We really liked our lead artist, Brittany. She made the process easy for someone that isn’t used to having hair or makeup done and I was impressed with the results. She was able to pull off a hair style I wasn’t sure was possible due to thin hair by using some extensions. She remembered my notes from the trial and made some minor tweaks with no issues the day of the wedding.

    We had the bride with a trial, a junior bridesmaid, 5 hair and makeup, and one makeup for the cost of 1640.

    Cristina in Austin was awesome!

    Cristina was great! She worked really well with my best friend, who was my hairdresser that day! They worked together and they weren’t concerned with who was supposed to do who and was very flexible. She made the day go so smoothly. She did all of my girls’ hair and did my makeup as well as one of my bridesmaids. She is very knowledgeable! She can do all complexions and ages when it comes to makeup as well!! Please see photos!

    Phenomenal & Exceptional Service

    Blush by M. Marie made my bridal photos and wedding day the most memorable. They are so responsive to any and all of my questions that I had would get an answer in less than 24 hours (and typically within a few hours). Cristina met me so early to do my bridal photos and then they came at 6am to get started on our wedding day hair and makeup! Always on time, easy to talk with, flexible with each person's hair style and makeup, and very professional. Reasonably priced as well! I cannot say enough good things about this company. Everyone raved at how great my hair and makeup looked at the wedding and I owe it all to Cristina and Blush by M. Marie. 1000% recommend for anyone looking for hair and makeup for your special occasion!

    Glamours and flawless

    Melissa is such an amazing artist and a pleasure to work with!!! I was referred to her by a friend and I am so happy with how my wedding makeup and hair turned out. She was able to take some ideas I had and turned me into what I felt like royalty. She was professional and most importantly ON TIME!! Every bride stresses about being on time. Melissa made sure me and all my bridesmaids were done at the right time. She was quick to fix some problems I had with my extensions and still gave me the sleek look I wanted. My makeup was natural and glamorous none of it looked caked on or over the top. My hair and makeup really represented me and my personality. I didn’t even have to touch up my makeup one time during the whole day. It looked flawless the entire day which I am so happy about because I didn’t have time to do any sort of touch ups. I couldn’t have been happier with booking with Melissa she is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for making me feel like royalty.

    I had the pleasure of working with Brittany a my hair and makeup stylist! She is incredibly talented and such a sweetheart!

    Her timing was spot on as we were all done and ready to go when we needed to and that was ALOT of girls - me, my mom, and 6 bridesmaids. She worked through all us like a champ and everyone looked incredible!

    Brittany's understanding of my style was impeccable. She knew that I was looking for something more natural, yet gave me that bridal glow. Boy did she deliver!! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day!

    I am so grateful for Brittany and all that she did to make my wedding day so special.

    I'm so happy and grateful that I found Blush and this wonderful team of artists! I have had several people do professional makeup for me for various occasions and Melissa was the best. I truly was amazed when I looked in the mirror. I looked like me only WAY more glamorous and beautiful, yet the makeup looked COMPLETELY natural and beautiful. I don't wear makeup much in my daily life and she did such an organic, natural look yet highlighted my best features in the most amazing way, I was blown away. She's a true artist and I highly recommend her!

    First of all, Melissa is a true miracle worker! I can't recall how I came across Blush by M. Marie, but I am SO glad I did! I was fortunate enough to get Melissa for my trial and my wedding day and she made me look beautiful both times. She is so friendly, professional, punctual and amazing at what she does! If you want to look totally beautiful on your wedding day, you must book Melissa and her crew now! The way she does hair and makeup so effortlessly with such amazing results is truly incredible. I wish she could do my hair and makeup everyday! Thank you Melissa for working your magic on me and my girls! You're the best!

    Melissa is the absolute BEST when it comes to hair and make-up. I had the pleasure of using her on several occasions! The first was as the Bride. Not only did she do my hair/make-up, but she also helped with my extensions. It seems like a little thing but having that expertise on the type I should use (based on my objective) and installation really made the experience so much easier. I absolutely LOVED my hair and make-up on my wedding day. She has a talent for taking people and making them their absolute BEST selves. Her knowledge about make-up based on how it is being photographed is especially important. Melissa was punctual, professional, has an AMAZING attitude and is just an all around pleasure. She books up quick though - if there was a con then that would be the only one. And rightfully so- she is AMAZING! Funny to say this but her talent with eyebrows - WOW!! I typically hate the way make-up artists do my eyebrows but Melissa makes them look amazing and natural. I was lucky enough to have Melissa do my make-up for a friend's wedding recently too. I couldn't have been more excited ! Quite frankly, I think her photos really speak for themselves.

    I loved my experience with blush. I am a real believer in you get what you pay for. I think on your wedding day hair and make up is the thing to splurge on. I decided to have my hair and make up done and pay for the bridesmaids to get their hair and make up done. Everyone looked gorgeous and kept saying how much they loved how they looked. My hair and make up was perfect and I last minute changed on Melissa. She worked with me and did an incredible job. I have never felt so beautiful. Not only does she do an amazing job but she is incredibly honest. I have pretty thin hair so she told me to achieve the look I wanted I needed extensions and she sent me to an affordable place. She is the best, she is so fun to be around and her lead Erin is amazing too. I love these gals!!! If you want to look like a million bucks I would trust blush.

    How can I put into one review how AWESOME Melissa and the rest of the crew at Blush by M. Marie are? Professional, outgoing, authentic, funny, and most important, passionate; only a few words to describe Melissa. Before even meeting her in person, I booked Melissa due to her incredible hair and flawless makeup in her portfolios. While at first this decision was terrifying, it ended up being the best decision that I ever made! Melissa did my trail, hair extensions following my trial, boudoir shoot, and day of wedding make up. To all the brides that want to feel the most beautiful than they ever have on their wedding day **STOP HERE**, because that is exactly how Melissa and her team will make you feel. Truly, I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life every time Melissa did my hair and makeup (Feeling like I was talking to an amazing friend throughout my hair and makeup and not my Makeup/Hair Artist was just an added bonus!). Along with myself, my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-n-law raved about how beautiful the felt the day of the wedding all because of Melissa and her lead artist Christina. Did I mention that we all got our makeup/hair done between 7:00am-11:00am and it immaculately lasted all day/night long? Besides incredible hair and flawless makeup, I think it is also very important to point our Melissa and her team’s work ethic. Reliable, prompt, honest, flexible, detail orientated, and passionate for ultimate beauty, this team is the entire package! If you are still questioning what beauty team to choose on the most important day of your life, you have now found your answer! THANK YOU Melissa and the rest of the team at Blush by M. Marie!!!

    Melissa and her lead artist, Christina were the BEST. I felt like it was a big splurge at first, but they were worth every penny! Because they made me, my wedding party, and family members look and feel fabulous:) Melissa was very easy to work with, super accommodating she even came to my house in Orange County for the trial. I never quite know how to explain what I want for my hair and makeup, but with some pictures and little explanations, she knew exactly what I wanted and it was just perfect. I got so many compliments on my hair and I can't wait for my wedding pictures!

    Melissa is amazing! She is so easy to work with and really listens to what you want. Melissa did my makeup/ hair for my wedding, along with all my bridesmaids...and everyone looked so gorgeous! She brought along her assistant and both did amazing. Exactly what I had envisioned for our wedding day! She definitely is a pro at what she does and I am so glad I chose her for our wedding day. I wanted a girly boho inspired look and she definitely created it! I couldn't get over how pretty each of my bridesmaids looked. Definitely hire this girl! Thanks Melissa! XO

    Where do I begin? Melissa does incredible work. She is so easy to communicate with and she always answered my emails and texts promptly. I love how Melissa really listens to her clients and what they want. She would listen to my concerns with makeup and then changed anything I wasn't in love with and always never took changes personally; she truly wants her clients to be happy, comfortable and look their best. If I thought I was happy with my makeup trial then I was over the moon with my makeup on the day of my wedding. I honestly felt so beautiful and 99% of that was because of Melissa (the other 1% is because I was in my wedding dress!). Melissa is also so incredibly efficient and fast without compromising quality at all. Melissa no only did my makeup but also did 5 bridesmaids hair , 2 bridesmaids makeup and both my mother and mother-in-laws makeup. I was initially nervous that we would fall behind schedule but she is so fast and so good that we actually finished early! While Melissa did not do my hair for my wedding (my friend did my hair as a wedding gift to me) she did an amazing job on my bridesmaids hair. Had I not had my friend do my hair, I definitely would have had Melissa do my hair and I know it would have been gorgeous. I cannot encourage other brides enough to book Melissa...she is truly fantastic!

    I do not think I could have found a better makeup artist than Melissa. She is so talented! I booked Melissa to do makeup for my six bridesmaids, 2 moms and me and she nailed it. Not only did everyone's makeup look flawless, but it lasted all night! We all felt so beautiful. A few of the ladies were nervous because they had never had anyone do their makeup and were worried about looking ridiculous, but everyone was so happy with her work.
    Also, this girl is FAST! One of my biggest concerns was running late because I did not want to feel rushed or add any stress to my day. I knew after my trial (which I did the same day as my engagement photos, perfect!) that she would be right on schedule. And on the day of, she finished early! But you'd never know because her work is so fantastic. Melissa also did tattoo coverage for one of the BMs and it was amazing. And she's super friendly and easy to chat with! And her work looks amazing on camera and in photos - she's the best!! If you are considering Melissa and her company, I definitely recommend following her on Instagram - it will convince you she's the one!

    I LOVE MELISSA! I did two hair and make-up trials with her before my wedding (due to my own indecisiveness), so I got to spend a fair amount of time with her. Is it weird to saying I'm going to miss her?
    Melissa is a wonderful artist. Some of my bridesmaids brought pictures of what hair and make-up they wanted, and some let Melissa call all the shots. Either way, they all ended up looking gorgeous. With my own look, I was pretty picky and had Melissa make a number of small tweaks so that my make-up was exactly what I wanted. I really think one of the best things about Melissa is that she is totally open to feedback. I felt comfortable telling her what I did and didn't like during my trials and on the day of the wedding. As a result, I wasn't worried at all about achieving the look I wanted. I knew she would get me there! Overall, my wedding look was executed perfectly, and I felt great. I still looked like myself (which was important to me), albeit a very glamorous version of myself!
    Melissa is so upbeat and fun to be around, so she helped make the wedding environment wonderful. I highly recommend her services to anyone!

    It's hard to find someone who will do exactly what you request them, but Melissa went so far and above that! I'm SO glad I booked her and I can't wait for her to glam me up on my wedding day! She's creative, playful and just plain amazing at her craft. When all my friends/family saw the video she made on Instagram, they ALL requested her for day of services! If you don't book Melissa, you aren't booking the best. Hands down.

    Melissa was an absolute pleasure to work with. She is so funny, caring, down to earth, outgoing, and professional. I did my research and looked through many different makeup/ hair professionals. My trial with Melissa was amazing. She made me feel so comfortable! Melissa, is not the type of person that just decided one day she wanted to do this. She has a natural talent and gift for this! That right there tells you she's serious about her work. I had no idea what hair and makeup I wanted but she listened to me and gave me some ideas and we played with some looks. She made me feel so comfortable that I was able to tell her if I didn't like a eye shadow color or I wanted to change something about my hair or makeup. Most importantly, she was professional about it. Melissa was able to do my look for the engagement shoot and it came out amazing. She's always easy to communicate with, on time, and super professional. I would ask her questions about my hair and makeup up leading up to the wedding day and she was genuinely helpful. My wedding day!! We started super early for my big day. Melissa was on time and ready to work. She was on schedule with each person and was very caring/ sensitive to what they wanted their look to be. I had no worries or stress about what I would look like because I trusted her with her talent and skills! You made my day so amazing and wonderful!! My whole party and mother looked absolutely gorgeous. I have wonderful photos that will capture my special moments. I will definitely be using you for future events and makeup classes. I love you Melissa!! My advice to brides- if there is anything you want to spend a little extra on, make sure you pick a great hair and makeup artist. Also, if you have a huge party to get done, ask for an assistant as well. Airbrush is a must for the brides!

    Melissa is AMAZING and everyone loved my makeup for the wedding. I got so many compliments and felt truly beautiful (exactly how every bride should feel). I had 5 bridesmaids, my mother and I all get our makeup done, however I was the only one to get my makeup done by Melissa (the other girls were with the assistant). She responded super fast when I contacted her, was very friendly, and very flexible! Oh and on a side note the pictures turned out beautiful and my makeup looked flawless!! Thanks again Melissa, can't wait to get my makeup done by you again!

    I can honestly say that Blush by M. Marie was perfection. I was BLOWN away with the results of my makeup and my 14-year-old daughters makeup for my sister's wedding. I told her specifically what I wanted and she delieverd and then some. My makeup lasted the ENTIRE day and looked amazing until I, sadly, had to take it off. The entire day I was told how radiant I looked and it was all because of the talent that went into my makeup and hair! As for my 14-year-old daughter, she did an amazing age-appropriate application that make her feel and look stunning. Overall she was incredible and I would not hestiate a moment to recommend her to ANYONE that needs professional makeup. Truly the best!!!

    Melissa is simply AMAZING!!! She has been doing my makeup for years for all my special events and blows me away every time! I'm literally the annoying person who has multiple photos of examples from Pinterest, and somehow she always incorporates everything I want and it turns out amazing! She's very patient and pleasant to work with. I HIGHLY recommend Melissa and her wonderful team of girls for all your special events!!!

    Melissa and her team were amazing to work with. Not to mention she was so easy to get in contact with before my big day. My bridesmaids looked stunning and I absolutely loved my hair and makeup. I was lucky enough to have a trial run prior to my wedding day-I thought that was really helpful in the whole deciding process of what look I was going for. Thank you so much Melissa, you rock!

    Melissa was great to work with, she truly made my wedding day by making all of my bridesmaids and myself look like super models. I learned about Melissa from a previous wedding I was in and new I wanted her for my wedding day!! I would highly recommend Melissa and her team, they're truly phenomenal!!

    Melissa was really fast to reply to my inquiry out of all the makeup artists that I contacted. I felt like she knew exactly my style and what I wanted even though I was probably a mess while planning everything else at the same time! She made me feel really relaxed and comfortable on my big day, like she was just one of the girls and helped put me at ease in the midst of all my chaos. I definitely recommend airbrush, my makeup kept all day through tears, sweat, etc. I have also used Melissa for hair and makeup for my birthday and would recommend Melissa to anyone and will definitely hire her again!

    I had Melissa and her lead artist Cristina for my wedding day and they were amazing! She showed up on time, ready to work and finished with time to spare for touch ups. Melissa is very quick to respond to any emails I sent and made me feel very comfortable! She even gave me tips and advice during my trial that came very much in handy for the wedding day. My entire bridal party loved her and Cristina and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup! You can tell they are true professionals at their craft!

    I booked Melissa after being referred from another artist. Her pictures online were gorgeous so I went ahead and booked. The trial was seamless - I loved all her suggestions and no alterations to the look were needed.
    Come wedding day, she arrived early with everything that she needed. We had a snafu with some hair extensions I had purchased as she didn't feel they were up to their usual quality and did some alterations to make it work. My make and hair were PERFECT in every way and I wouldn't have changed a thing. She did
    hair/makeup for myself (the bride) + 3 bridesmaids as well as hair for 2 in 6.5 hours and was on the dot time wise- even finished early!
    I STRONGLY recommend her for any event in which you need hair and makeup.
    In summary, she is punctual, efficient, knowledgeable, and truly an amazing artist. She is worth every dollar.

    Melissa is amazing!!!

    I am so happy that I booked Melissa to do mine and my four bridesmaids hair and make up for my wedding day. She made me look and feel more beautiful than ever before!!! What I loved most is that I still looked and felt like myself which was really important to me. Melissa was so fun to be around on the wedding day, she always responded to my emails so quickly, and she arrived early on the day of the wedding. I would recommend Blush by M. Marie to anyone!!! Thank you Melissa! You helped make me feel so beautiful on the most important day of my life!

    Melissa and her assistant did an amazing job on hair and make-up for me and my whole bridal party. All of my girls absolutely LOVED how they looked. Some of them were very particular about how they wanted their make-up and she had no problem giving them the look they wanted. I got the long, loose braid with baby's breath weaved in that I had always imagined for my wedding day, and my make-up did not smear at all! Melissa uses top-quality products, which is a must for weddings and other events with a billion photos. She is professional and really fun to work with. I'm glad I decided to splurge and book her :)

    This was a big splurge for myself and my wedding party but it was so worth it! Melissa and Christina took care of me and my ladies. They were prompt and super talented. My bridal party looked stunning! Melissa is excellent in the communication department and really has an eye for what is too much or too little for a bride. After having quite bluntly the worst experience ever with a previous makeup artist, Melissa kept me calm and I was totally at ease because she's freaking amazing! I only wish Melissa had been able to do more of my bridal party but like I said, Christina also did one heck of a good job so really I can't complain. I highly recommend this duo for any event but especially wedding. It really is such a better day when you don't have to worry about what everyone, including yourself (the bride) looks like. Just sit back, relax, sip on some mimosas, and let Blush take care of you!

    Melissa was wonderful! She traveled to the hotel where my bridesmaids and I were staying and worked within my schedule to make sure that we got everything we needed in a way that was convenient for us. Her flexibility was important to me since I was only in town for a few days before my wedding since I no longer reside in CA, but wanted to have my wedding in San Diego. She was very easy to work with. I also definitely thought is was convenient to choose someone who did both hair and makeup. Melissa did both hair and makeup for myself and my 2 bridesmaids, and the results were terrific. We looked gorgeous. Melissa accepted feedback after my hair/makeup trial and also looked at pictures that my bridesmaid had, and implemented everything we asked for. The makeup needed some touch ups throughout the hot day, but the hair stayed completely in place. I was very happy with how everyone looked, and I was also very happy that we got to meet Melissa because we all loved talking to her. She was very friendly and professional. Here is a link to photo highlights from my wedding so you can see how the hair and makeup turned out for me and the two bridesmaids: https://www.truephotographyweddings.com/event/lisa-andy

    Honestly would not recommend her to any one of my friends

    As much as I hate to write a bad review, I dont want other brides to be taken back like I was.
    The day of my wedding Melissa did a great job with my make up and hair. We had nailed down both in our trials. That wasnt the problem. The problem was her asking me, THE BRIDE, for payment "before she finished" and telling me she wont finish my look until she gets paid the last part of the payment- 2 hours before my wedidng! This is after I had already told her I was not handling this and that my mom is handling all the day-of stuff, and that she had her money already ready for her in an envelope and everything was handled. She continued to ask me probably 3 separate times, which, as a bride getting ready on her wedding day, is not something I would wish upon anyone. She was quite rude about it and made me feel unimportant and rushed on my wedding day. Would not recomment her to someone due to her attitude with us.

    Let me start off by saying I absolutely loved my makeup for the wedding but my hair was a disaster! When I explained why I wasn’t happy with it it just seemed like Melissa didn’t agree with me. You can clearly see in my picture how different the two hair styles are from each other! (The left is what Mellisa did to my hair and the right is what I showed her that I wanted) Also she is very difficult to work with and I am usually a very laid back person to work with. Let’s just say she’s very expensive and is so busy that she can’t even make her brides a priority! And when you are suppose to be the priority she doesn’t take her time instead she rushes your hair/makeup to get somewhere else. Not to mention she started my bridesmaids & my hair and makeup at 7:00am & finished at around 10:30am when my ceremony wasn’t till 2:30pm!! I even asked her if we could have her start at a later time that day but wouldn’t budge! I even added a second makeup artist Incase something went wrong to help Melissa out! By the time I walked down the aisle my hair was falling out and I had to retouch up on my makeup... I even did everything with my hair she told me like adding extensions & keeping moister out of the air!!! My best advice for Melissa is that money isn’t everything. You should hear your brides out and make them a priority by following their timeline and not your own. Also I would suggest taking a hair styling class because what you did to my hair was ugly and nowhere close to what I wanted. I also have so many emails of me showing you what I wanted to do with my hair, wanting to schedule a new consultation because my first consultation was was rushed bc you had somewhere else to be and you not fitting me into your schedule, and emails of me explaining about how I would like you to come later to do my makeup because I was worried it wouldn’t be fresh for my ceremony but you declining “because you make room for error.” It’s suppose to be the brides day not the makeup artist day!

    Terrible experience! If you look at reviews from other sites, you will see that if anyone is honest and/or gives any criticism or suggestion, she attacks you. This company does not believe in the saying "the customer is always right". I really wish she would give Me back my $800 since she was not even at the wedding, it's not good business to do that. No matter what banter she wants to give about contracts etc., it's the right thing to do. She blames me for canceling without considering the fact that a huge argument she had with mewould have made the wedding day terrible. I understand what contracts are for, even though there is no evidence of one, but we could not have foreseen the big argument and I'm sorry but once that happens, rules go out the window and it's about doing the right thing. Please return my money. Please, I would not be begging if I didn't need it. Thank you.
