Lauren Sent on 12/18/2019Exactly What I Wanted!
I absolutely loved having Meredith do makeup for me and my entire bridal party on my big day! We had to start getting ready early, and Meredith helped get everyone pumped up and excited putting on the perfect playlist! Meredith listened to what everyone wanted, and delivered beautiful looks! Would definitely recommend for any wedding or event! -

Diana Sent on 06/14/2016Contracting Meredith as my makeup artist for my wedding in May 2016 was one of the best vendor decisions I made. She was a pleasure to get to know, and was so professional to work with since I contracted her a year ahead (brides - book her early!). What stood out to me with Meredith was her professionalism, positive yet realistic attitude, and thoroughness from the moment we began discussing my wedding. I am a professional event planner and have worked with hundreds of vendors, and she shined with her personality and friendly demeanor. She offered valuable advice during my trial and wedding day, and genuinely showed interest in my fiance, our wedding day and futures. Her work was beautiful - she gave my bridesmaids and I fresh, natural looks, and all the girls loved her! I can't thank Meredith enough for being part of the most amazing day of my life. She helped calm my nerves, kept the order of things in check, and her aura was one of the highlights of the "getting ready" process. It seemed like everyones moods lifted as if they had a mini pep talk after they were done with makeup with Meredith! She's the kind of woman you want to have over for cocktails, and the kind of woman you can talk to about anything and everything. She "gets it". Highly, highly recommend Meredith for weddings, special events, parties, etc.

Marisa Sent on 05/29/2016Meredith is hands-down the best there is. She provided wonderful and thoughtful consultation, and from the moment she did my trial in her home studio I knew she would deliver. Meredith did the makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, and my mother. Her punctuality, responsiveness, and professionalism shine throughout all of her work, and in addition, her fun, upbeat personality was a pleasure to be around on such an important and (sometimes) stressful day! Meredith certainly calmed everyone's nerves, and made sure to remind me that it was my big day, and not to feel rushed or stressed about anything, which was so appreciated. Plus, with her fun music playlist and good jokes, getting ready the morning of my wedding was like a little party. Everyone's makeup was flawless and was exactly what each girl wanted. She even applied false lashes at no extra charge (individual lashes, not the strip) for everyone, and gave me a touch-up kit to reapply throughout the night (although I didn't need it - through sweat and smiling all day, my makeup was perfect). Meredith also truly went the extra mile - when not applying makeup, she was helping my bridesmaids lace up their dresses. All of my bridesmaids commented to me numerous times about how much they loved their makeup and how helpful, fun, and amazing Meredith was. I am so happy to have used Meredith's services and highly, highly recommend her! -

Carla Sent on 11/26/2014What can I say about Meredith that hasn't been said already? During the trial she listened to me talk about my usual look and my wedding plans, and showed me some colors/looks that would work well for me. She nailed it! My makeup was striking, but natural too...I still looked like me, just much better than usual. I felt like Ron Burgundy after my trial..."Hey everybody, come see how good I look." Same for the wedding day - I loved how she did my makeup, and it lasted throughout the day and throughout the night, though she had also thoughtfully provided a cute touch-up kit. All the bridesmaids and my mom adored her.
On a side note, a few months before the wedding, I had asked her if she knew of anyone in the area who might be good as a day-of coordinator. Meredith recommended her friend Lauren, an event planner who was likewise awesome and helped make our day go incredibly smoothly!
Bottom line: Meredith does amazing work, and she's a load of laughs and incredibly fun to be around as well! -

Dwyer Sent on 10/22/2013Meredith was a pleasure to work with from the get go. She is super organized and responsive leading up to the big day. On the actual day of my wedding she executed her skills flawlessly, making me look so much more amazing then I could have imagined. She did such great work, some of my bridesmaids who hadn't planned on getting makeup couldn't resist her magic so she was able to squeeze them in. She was also able to handle every type of personality even the difficult ones with ease. She does both wonders on younger skin as well as more mature skin like your mother and grandmothers. She was just such a pleasure to have around during the last few hours, keeping everyone in good spirits and giving us such useful advice on how to make the day run smoothly (like taking a advil to prevent too much smiling from hurting!). When it comes to Meredith, it should be a no brainier on using her on your wedding day. -

Jane Sent on 07/15/2012Meredith came over right on time and did a wonderful job - I truly looked and felt beautiful and the makeup stayed on and she even gave me a touch of kit just in case - couldn't have been happier with her service!! -

Allison Sent on 06/04/2012I had my engagement photo session this past weekend and my makeup was done by Meredith Hayman out of Yorktown Heights. My photographer introduced her to me (I'm getting married next month and hadn't heard of her, so I have a different makeup artist) and I couldn't be happier with the job she did! She worked fast and she asked me what I like and what I wanted to highlight on my face. Throughout the entire thing, she was sweet and funny and made the session go by fast and a LOT of fun! It's hard to sit in that chair and follow direction sometimes, but she was easy going and couldn't have been nicer. I looked like the most beautiful version of myself and it was all because of her! If you book her, you will NOT be disappointed!! -

Corrine Sent on 05/15/2012Meredith was great. She did exactly what I wanted as I am super picky with my makeup and it stayed all day. She was a great value for a large bridal party and all of my bridesmaids loved how they looked. I could not have asked for more! -

Sarah Sent on 03/31/2012Meredith was such a pleasure to work with!Everyone looked beautiful! She was so pleasant and easy going. Each one of my girls told her what that wanted and she did an amazing job, some of the girls even said I don't know what I want just do your thing and of course they were beautiful. She even put a little blush and lip gloss on the flower girls to make them feel fancy.
Thank you for making everyone Gorgeous for my wedding. -

Nadeige Sent on 10/15/2010Not to brag but I was GORGEOUS on my wedding day thanks to Meredith! I felt so beautiful, confident and relaxed knowng my make-up was perfect. She gave me her honest opinion based on my skin when I was undecided between traditional and air brush. I did traditional and it stayed throught the entire day! I not only have a great make-up artist in my roster but also made a dear friend. I highly recommend Meredith for her professionalism, her talent and for being my 'calm' in the bridal suite! She also had tricks to fix unexpected accients (such as me dropping red ink all over my hands) and prep and make-up tips that I will take with me for a lifetime. She also sells lip gloss in case you forget yours! Thanks, Meredith!
