Melissa is the best! From the get-go, Melissa knew the soft glam vision I was going for. I have always been hesitant about airbrush makeup and how it can look cakey, but Melissa reassured me during my makeup trial that the oil-based airbrush is the way to go. I had my trial 3 months prior to my makeup and loved how it looked so natural. I only had a few minor tweaks from the trial to change for the wedding. Melissa took photos of the makeup look from the trial and used those photos as the basis for the wedding makeup look with my small changes. She also provided makeup services for my 4 girls, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Each one of them loved their makeup look and said it fit their style. We all looked so beautiful and the makeup lasted throughout the night. Highly recommend Melissa! -

Melissa uses air brush makeup, which is a HUGE bonus. Makeup artists who still apply foundation directly to the face with brushes are behind the times.
Melissa's communication is STELLAR! I reached out to a few makeup vendors when I first started wedding planning over a year ago. She got back to me immediately .. and even with an accurate pricing quote .. all in the same afternoon. On the day of my wedding, she made my makeup look and feel absolutely flawless. I received infinite compliments and felt so special. Melissa understands the exact amount of makeup one should have on her face so that the camera captures your "look" perfectly. Excellent! -

If you want to feel straight out of a bridal magazine, Melissa is your girl.
If you want to feel straight out of a bridal magazine, Melissa is your girl. I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa years back through a side job we both did. Through the years I’ve watched her career grow and her makeup skills flourish!! When I was finally engaged, I knew I had to have Melissa on my special day! I had my “trial” before my engagement photos so I could insure I liked the way I looked. Melissa blew it out of the water! The airbrush was flawless, natural & not caked on. As someone who doesn’t usually wear heavy foundation- this was key for me. The makeup lasted in 90 degree heat, hours of sweat and even in the ocean!!! How crazy is that!?! Melissa was wonderful through the pandemic. She always answered quickly, dealt with our changing counts & traveled three hours to Vermont for our wedding! She’s professional, super sweet & incredibly talented. When my original hair stylist gracefully bowed out due to COVID related issues, I turned to Melissa for help. She recommended her colleague Lexie Kelly. I didn’t even ask any questions or info- I just booked her! Alone Melissa is amazing. Together they are a beauty dream team. I felt like the picture perfect bride. My mother, grandmother and sister also all LOVED their makeup / hair too. My sister cried because she said it was the first time in years she actually felt pretty. Thank you Melissa (and Lexie!) for everything. -

Melissa has the creative touch, the professional approach, and the beautiful colors and tools to make you feel and look AMAZING! She recently did my make-up for my niece's wedding and all I and others can say is WOW! The make-up application was flawless and looked so natural and....FUN! I would strongly recommend using Melissa for your next event. 5-stars all the way. :) -

Let me start by telling you that Melissa is fabulous!!! I reached out to a few make-up artists in my area before an engagement photoshoot and she was the first to respond. She was so easy to talk to and flexible as the shoot was on a Sunday and I needed my make-up done early. She was so fun to talk to and made me feel so comfortable. She shared tips about make-up application and taught me a lot about skincare, too! I would recommend Melissa for her responsiveness, fun personality, high quality work, and value! I will continue to recommend her to my family & friends and hope they choose Melissa because I know they will look and feel beautiful! :) -

Simply amazing !!!
I just got married on 05/18/19 & Melissa did my makeup as well as my bridal party’s and mother / mother in laws. She did such an amazing job and nailed it ! .. everyone looked so beautiful and natural ! I received so many compliments, and it still looked perfect by the end of the night! Not to mention she is just the sweetest; she really helped me stay calm during the day while getting ready when things started to go wrong .. Plus her prices are very reasonable! I highly recommend Melissa she is very talented ! -

Danielle Sent on 05/11/2021Makeup was bulletproof!!!
The makeup that Melissa did for me and my girls was not only reasonably priced, but it was absolutely bulletproof! This is the second time I have used her and it lasted my entire wedding plus the next day - it lasted through tears, sweat, and cake in my face! The only issue I had was she can talk a lot and tends to take her time, which is great and she made everyone feel comfortable. Her price also includes fake eyelashes which is awesome
