    Makeup so flawless, it looked like a filter

    Melissa was so great to work with! She was super quick & responsive upon first booking her, and I felt I could trust her right off the bat. I hired her to do my makeup, my mom's, and 3 of my bridesmaids, and they all came out beautifully! She even recommended hair stylists, one which I actually chose to book. What I loved most about Melissa is how she enhanced our natural beauty rather than making us look like completely different people. Per my bridesmaids, my face looked like a filter because of how flawless it was 😍 all of our makeup lasted all night through all the sweat and tears. She even provided a little makeup touch-up kit to use throughout the day. I didn't end up needing it, but it was nice to have just in case! Melissa has many years of experience under her belt, and we could tell! 10 out of 10 recommend 😊

    Happy I hired Melissa!

    After a long makeup artist search that is reasonably priced, I hired Melissa and was super happy with her makeup expertise! She is a very focused professional who took the time to get to know what I wanted and did an amazing job. I feel like I looked natural (which I wanted) and not overly done and still elegant and polished! Definitely would hire Melissa again anytime I need professional makeup!

    Makeup in 105 Degrees LASTED

    It was an especially hot weekend in Livermore. Over 100 degrees to be exact. Melissa was the makeup artist for my friend's outdoor wedding. I was the first bridesmaid in Melissa's chair. At 8am, she did my makeup BEAUTIFULLY. I loved it. When I realized I would be outside in the hellish heat for the next 10 plus hours, I was sad to see all of her work go to waste. But guess what? When I arrived back at the hotel at 10pm, I still looked amazing! I felt and smelled pretty bad, but my face was on fleek. Thank you, Melissa! You worked magic!

    Amazing!!!!!!!

    Melissa was fantastic with my wedding makeup! She was super responsive to my feedback about the look I was going for! Her work was high quality, and her prices were extremely reasonable.

    So talented!

    It was such an amazing day and Melissa made that happen! I had to find someone last minute due to the fact that I really didn’t like my first initial trial but was going to settle, but then my friend introduced me to Melissa and she was able to schedule me a trial and had availability for my special day! It all fell into place so perfect! She’s so professional, patient, and pays attention to detail. Thank you for making me so beautiful Melissa!!

    Excellent Melissa

    Melissa is very professional and super easy to work with. I had no problem communicating with her before and during the actual date of the service. She asked me what look I want and she gave me her thoughts on what will look best. Overall, i was very happy with my make up on my wedding day.

    My exact vision!!

    I am truly grateful and honored to have had Melissa do my bridal makeup for my special day. I wanted something dramatic while also being on the more natural side and Melissa nailed it! She gave me beautiful Smokey eyes with just enough color on the lips. The Airbrush foundation was also very light, letting my face breath while still providing beautiful coverage. From day 1 she was extremely responsive, informative, and flexible. I was so anxious the morning of my wedding but Melissa was on time and so wonderful that it made the day so much more relaxing and fun! She was truly a joy to have and I absolutely loved my wedding day look! I highly recommend Melissa for any makeup needs. She has the vision and technique to make any look come to life!!!

    Ahhhmazing!

    Covid has been tough and with my wedding being postponed numerous times I was thrilled when we were given the green light from our venue. I Hired Melissa over a year ago and she’s been so great with all the crazy changes and cancellations. When our day finally came it was all that I had ever dreamed of. I usually hate makeup but Melissa made me feel so beautiful and she did it so effortlessly. All my bridesmaids looked stunning as well!! Thank you Melissa for everything!! You’re a Gem!!

    Melissa is amazing!

    I was looking for a makeup person at the last minute because the person I originally booked backed out two months before my wedding. One of my friends suggested Melissa and sent me her Instagram page. Melissa also did my friend's makeup for her wedding and I remembered how great she looked. I reached out to Melissa and asked her if she was available... and thank goodness she was! We exchanged numbers and conversed via text message. She was very responsive even while being busy with her 7 month old baby. Once we got the logistics down, we scheduled a makeup consultation two weeks before my wedding. She took the time to make sure that the colors complimented my skin tone. The foundation she used was perfect, the eyeshadows she used were great and the lipstick color was gorgeous. I couldn't be more happier with the outcome (and that was only the consultation). and felt confident that my makeup was going to look great on my wedding day.

    On my wedding day she brought her makeup station and went to work.. first on my bridesmaid and MOH and my little flower girl. They all looked stunning and the makeup looked so natural on them. My bridesmaid, who never wears makeup, was so impressed at how her makeup looked and that it didn't looked caked on. Both my girls' makeup stayed on all night! When it was my turn, Melissa again took the time to make sure that everything was perfect... and yes my makeup stayed on all night too!

    I can't thank Melissa enough- she helped with making my day so special. If you guys decide to go with her, you will no be disappointed!

    Most beautiful makeup!!

    I was given Melissa’s contact info through a friend of mine that got married in 2019. I don’t usually wear makeup so I’m always skeptical about wearing any but I wanted to make sure I was dolled up for my special day. Melissa totally changed my mind about makeup and how it can be worn. She made me look and feel so gorgeous and natural, I couldn’t believe it. I still looked like myself but so much more polished! I would hire her again in a second!! Highly highly recommend her!!!

    Gorgeous!!

    My previous makeup artist had backed out last minute, I was scrambling :( I found Melissa through wedding wire and thankfully she was still available for my wedding. Her work and pictures were stunning so I knew I didn’t need to schedule a trial. On the day of she arrived early and ready to work. I had 8 bridesmaids and she literally got us ALL done in a timely manner with touch ups at the end! I have never seen anyone do that before. Not only did she get us all done on time but we looked AMAZING! Ahhhhh Melissa, thank you so much for everything xoxo

    I’ve never felt more beautiful

    After some last minute cancellations I was searching & searching for an artist. I’m so happy I found Melissa just in time for my big day. She did an amazing job with my trial and I looked like a princess on the day of. My makeup was flawlessly beautiful and lasted all night. I highly recommend her for any events or weddings!!!!!!

    My face was glowing!

    I booked Melissa a year ahead of time but unfortunately with Covid we had to delay things for a while. Melissa was so understanding and patient with me, even when I was a bridezilla at times. When we finally had the wedding, I couldn’t of been happier with how everything turned out. Especially my makeup! I looked and felt so beautiful on my special day. Thank you for all your hard work Melissa, you’re extremely good at what you do!!

    Beautiful bridal makeup

    It’s been a rough year and a half, with a long postponement of my wedding I was so happy to finally have my day. Melissa did my makeup as well as my 6 bridesmaids and were all glowing! She uses the best products and even have us mini facials :-) I would highly recommend her, she’s beyond awesome!! Xoxo

    I Felt Like A Dream

    Melissa is amazing. We had to move our wedding 4 times because of COVID and she was always sweet, communicative, friendly, kind, just really really great.

    When it came to the actual makeup, I felt like a dream. She made all of us look stunning. And our makeup lasted all day in 100+ degree heat. She is quick, attentive and skilled.
