Lauren W. Sent on 09/10/2023Best in RI Makeup!
I went with MakeMeUpRI for my wedding after having been a bridesmaid at 7 other weddings. MakeMeupRI did my makeup as a bridesmaid for 2 of those weddings, and as far as bridesmaid makeup went, they clearly were the BEST - across the board on all girls too! When it came down to my wedding, there was no question that I was going with MMRI - one of my top “needed to get” vendor for sure! They have this thing down to a science and are true professionals. I went with Christina (owner) for my wedding, and while I do think any other artist would have done an incredible job, I was so beyond happy I did - best decision! I had a trial first (which I highly recommend) and Christina followed up with me a few days after to take notes for any changes I had (all minor!). She clearly prioritizes her client’s happiness, and wants to make sure you LOVE your look for your wedding day. On the morning of the actual wedding day, I trusted Christina inherently with the amount of blonzer/blush ratio (something I always overdo on my own oops), knowing what photographs best. She was 1000% right and my makeup looked flawless in my photos (and in real life too!!!). Not to mention, Christina is truly one of the kindest people - the morning of the wedding when all the craziness was going on behind me, Christina truly chilled me out and was so refreshing to hang with for the hour that you have to just sit and do nothing (only time all morning!) while getting your makeup done. I’m so grateful for her that day! I know the other girls on the team are awesome too and the bridesmaids /MOG/MOB absolutely loved their looks, and looked stunning.
MakeMeUpRI for your wedding makeup is a no-brainer - from bridesmaid to bride, they are the best in the industry!! -

I have gotten my hair and make up done quite a few times but have never felt prettier than with Make Me Up RI! I used them as a bridesmaid and knew I had to book them for my own wedding. Christina is so nice, caring and truly wants you to feel like a princess on your big day. My bridesmaids and the moms also raved about the work this team did. -

Great experience
I had a great experience working with MakeMeUp for my 12/18/21 wedding. Christina is extremely professional and easy to plan with. Her team is exceptionally talented at what they do. I had a particularly amazing experience with Caitlin at my trial. I was absolutely amazed at the look that she created (photo attached). On the wedding day, we had a team of 2 to take care of 12 people getting their hair done. Both stylists showed up on time, got set up, were super kind, professional and kept us on schedule all morning. Between the 12 people, there were all kinds of hair styles being requested - updos, half up/half down, braids, etc. Each hair style came out just gorgeous - everyone looked so elegant! I can’t thank MakeMeUpRI enough for the incredible experience. -

Christina was amazing to work with, very responsive, and always communicating with me. Her team on the big day did an incredible job on our makeup! They were so fast and efficient for 11 people! They listened to my bridesmaids, MOB, and MIL, and did exactly what they each wanted! Thank you for making everyone feel so beautiful on such a special day! -

The best!!
Christina and her team are amazing!! Not only are they extremely talented, but they are the sweetest girls, very professional and organized. Christina did my makeup for my June wedding and Caitlin did my hair. I am so happy with the way everything turned out, it was exactly what I envisioned. Caitlin did an awesome job on my bridesmaids as well. Could not thank Christina enough!!! -

Bianca and Nicole were phenomenal for our wedding day hair and makeup! They arrived promptly at the designated time and got to work quickly putting everyone at ease and building trust. They listened to each person and made them feel like a movie star. From our mothers who have short hair, to the brides with very long hair - Nicole was able to work with each persons hair and style preferences ensuring they felt comfortable. One of our friends had their hair done in the morning and by wedding time it had held up so well! Bianca was equally impressive with her makeup skills. Each person looked stunning and the makeup did not look overdone at all.
Bianca and Nicole worked so quickly that we had time to squeeze in makeup for one more friend. So efficient and set us up for beautiful photos as the hair and makeup photographed so so well.
Highly recommend MakeMeUpRI for all your makeup and hair needs -

Lauren F. Sent on 11/22/2020Jenna, Bianca, and Kauri did an amazing job! Bride, bridesmaids, moms, and flower girl looked stunning!
I was so impressed by Jenna and Bianca's makeup application and Kauri's hair styles. They listened carefully to each of the ladies getting ready that morning and individualized the look to each person's preference. The makeup lasted all day and night (even with some crazy snow/rain/wind weather!) and so did the hair! All three were especially great with my four year old flower girl. She loves all girly things so she was super excited. Jenna and Kauri did my bridal trial and I had just a few adjustments that I wanted to make on the actual wedding day and they did so perfectly. I felt like my hair and makeup perfectly matched the style that I was looking for. Christina helped to communicate with me leading up to the day and created the schedule for the morning of getting ready. This really helped to organize us and to keep on schedule! I am so grateful for their hard work and would very highly recommend them! -

Christina and her crew did an amazing job making my 9 bridesmaids, my mom and me look STUNNING at my wedding sept 12th. She was fun and bubbly and worked her magic starting at 6:30 am to get us ready in time for my church ceremony at 1 PM. I couldn’t be more thankful for finding Christina & would highly recommend her for any occasion. -

Hair and make up was one of the easiest parts of my wedding! I was recommended to Christina by a fellow bride and making contact and planning with her was a breeze. They worked with my crazy schedule to have my makeup and hair trial on a Saturday (so fun). The day of, they were perfect- fun to work with, professional, prepared, and of course, gorgeous artists. I couldn't be happier. I recommend them to every bride in the area now! -

Make Me Up RI is a team of super talented people! While Christina was unavailable for my wedding, we were lucky enough to have Kara and Kaydee doing hair. and Kelly and Bianca on makeup. I had done my trials with Kara and Bianca and knew I was in good hands. They are both super talented and made me look like a better version of me.
A week before my wedding, my mom fell and hit her head, resulting in a lot of bruising, soreness, and a big black eye. I gave Christina and her team a heads up, and Bianca barely batted an eye. She saw my mom and immediately said "no problem, we've got this." It may seem small, but her attitude toward this made all the difference. She did WONDERS on my mom's eye and it was nearly impossible to see that anything was wrong at all! My planner was recently asked if it's okay to ask a photographer to photoshop a black eye from a photo, and using us as an example said "if you hire a good makeup artists, there's no need to." He could not be more right -- Bianca deserves extra credit for helping to make my mom look and feel as good as she possibly could, given the circumstances!
All of the bridesmaids/moms looked and felt incredible. One of my bridesmaids never wears makeup and has only had her hair/makeup done professionally for her own wedding. She was nervous that she wouldn't look like herself, but the team made her look like a more beautiful version of her and she felt great. We even got her to wear lashes!
The planning process was super easy with Christina, and I am so grateful to her team for glamming us up. We all looked and felt great! -

When it comes to hair and makeup for your big day, you want nothing but the best and Christina and her team are it! I had 4 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and 2 flower girls and everyone looked perfect! My bridesmaids and I all wanted natural makeup and everyone was so happy with Christina's work. Her makeup is flawless and not cakey whatsoever! Her hair team is equally amazing and were able to do everything my girls were looking for. I wont use anyone else going forward! -

Rachel F. Sent on 11/10/2019Best hair and makeup artists around!
Christina and her team were absolutely amazing! I had 8 ladies in my bridal party, plus my mom and mother-in-law. Because we had so many people needing their services, we hired 2 makeup artists and 2 hair stylists to help speed things up. Some people got both hair and makeup done, some got just hair, some just makeup, some got fake lashes, and some didn’t. With all these different combinations, I was stressing about how to organize everything; but much to my surprise, Christina created an organized sheet listing each time slot for every artist, and who would be in that time slot. I thought I’d have to create this myself, so I was so happy when I saw she did it for me! She was always very response with any questions I emailed her with leading up to the wedding, and on the wedding day everyone arrived on-time and got right to work. My hair and makeup lasted all night, and everyone looked and felt BEAUTIFUL. Thank you so much Christina, Alex, Angie, and Bianca. I’ll be recommending you to every engaged couple I know! -

Estelle H. Sent on 10/19/2019Highly recommend
After having hair and makeup trial with 3 different stylists, I came across “makemeupri” only 2 months before our wedding and decided to give Christina a call. From the first moment I reached out to her, I knew that I would be hiring her and her team. Christina was very professional and quick to respond. Christina and her team can give you any look that you desire, wether it’s a Smokey eye or a natural look. I highly recommend Makemeupri for your next event 😊 -
