Talented, Professional and Reliable
I honestly can’t say enough good things about working with her. I first connected with her professionally, but over time she’s become my go-to for any personal makeup needs as well and that alone says everything.
She is incredibly dependable (which, if you’ve ever booked beauty services, you know is huge), always shows up prepared, and brings such a calm, grounded energy to the room. Whether it’s a photoshoot or a personal event, she just gets it. She knows how to enhance someone’s natural features without ever making them feel overdone or unlike themselves. What really stands out to me is her consistency. Every single time I’ve worked with her, the results have been flawless, and my clients always feel so confident and taken care of in her chair. She’s not just talented, she’s thoughtful, hardworking, and truly cares about the experience she’s creating for each person. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely to feel your absolute best then you will be in such good hands with Megan. -

Megan creates magic!
Highly recommend makeup by Megan! I’ve had my makeup done by her multiple times and every single time it’s been absolutely flawless. She takes the time to ask questions, really listens to what you want, and then adds her own input in a way that just makes sense. She’s so in tune with skin tone, features, and what will actually look best, not just in person, but on camera too. The end result is always natural, subtle, and just an elevated version of you.
And her personality… she is the best. The ultimate hype girl in every sense. Witty, sweet, and she makes you feel so comfortable the second you sit down. It never feels intimidating, it’s actually fun.
Her setup is super clean, organized, and she has every tool and product you could possibly need.
As a photographer, I’ve also worked with so many women who’ve had their makeup done by Megan, and I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever had to touch up their makeup in editing. That alone says everything. Her work photographs beautifully, which is huge.
And the whole process, from booking to payment, is so easy and seamless, which just makes everything even better.
Highly recommend. She’s incredible!! -

Stunning Makeup!
Megan was absolutely amazing! She did makeup for me, my mom, and the bridesmaids, and everyone looked absolutely stunning. She was so fun, kind, and easy to work with, and she really took the time to listen and make sure she understood what each person wanted before she started. She was open to any feedback or adjustments and made sure everyone felt completely comfortable and confident.
Our makeup turned out so beautiful and lasted flawlessly all day and night. Over 12 hours later, it still looked perfect! Megan has such incredible skill and attention to detail, and she did a phenomenal job across different skin tones, types, and ages. Everyone looked like the best version of themselves.
She’s not only incredibly talented but also so professional and upbeat, which made the whole getting ready process so much fun. We couldn’t have been happier! We highly, highly recommend her!-

Truly the best bridal make up artist!!
Megan was very responsive throughout the wedding trials and wedding day! She showed up early the day of the wedding and had many options for my bridesmaids & their make up needs! After my first make up trial I wanted to try something different but didn’t want to wait till wedding day to see if it worked. She fit me in for a second trial which eased my nerves! Megan is super talented and exceeded my expectations for what I wanted my wedding make up to look like! We got married 6/25/2022 and had rain/humidity all day- my make up lasted 14+ hours (even with some happy tears). I highly recommend Megan if you are a bride looking for wedding day make up! -

I chose Megan for wedding-day makeup, and I'd choose her again and again!
Megan and her assistant did my bridal makeup, as well as my bridal party's and two mothers' makeup, for my wedding ceremony/reception on 12/31. Including myself, 12 people needed their makeup done that morning. Professionally-styled makeup is always a sensitive subject that can go one of two ways – you love it or hate it. I am fortunate enough to have been the former, and I owe it all to Megan!
Megan also did my makeup trial a month before our wedding date. During my trial, she was fully committed to ensuring that my makeup and my bridal party’s makeup looked exactly how I expected it to look on wedding day. My trial makeup was perfect, so I was confident that I would be just as pleased on wedding day. And I definitely was!
But when I say that EVERYONE who had their makeup done on wedding morning was BEYOND pleased, I'm not even close to paying enough credit to Megan’s incredible talent. All of my bridesmaids, the moms, and myself loved how our makeup turned out. Not to mention, the airbrush application option ensured that our makeup held out for the entire evening. With no exaggeration, I can honestly say that my makeup, completed at 1:00p, looked EXACTLY the same at 2:00a the next morning as it did at time of application.
I would highly recommend Megan to every bride getting married in the Greater Milwaukee Area. She truly provides 100% satisfaction. She strived to ensure that everyone feels happy and confident. She was punctual and stayed on schedule throughout the morning. She as understanding, responsive, and easy to work with, both before and on wedding day.
In short, the services that Megan and her assistant allowed everyone to have a stress-free start to their day. If I had to do it all over again, I’d undoubtedly choose Megan! -

I wish I got married every week so I could work with Megan
Working with Megan was an incredible experience. She was professional, fun, and put me at ease. She brought an assistant for my wedding party of 12 people and ensured we stuck with our timeline.
I have never felt prettier than I did on my wedding day. Megan is a make up wizard. I would recommend her to anyone and would highly encourage you to book her for any event you may have! -

Wedding Makeup
Megan is hands down one of the best. She did my makeup for my wedding this past weekend and I could not be happier! She is so kind & easy to chat with. She was flexible through our whole rescheduling process due to Covid. She is responsive to requests & changes to the style if they don’t fit what you’re looking for. She is up front with her pricing & honestly, her pricing is a STEAL for the quality you get. I needed a second artist for the day due to the number of bridesmaids I had and she coordinated that & her second artist was amazing as well! I will recommend her 100x over to anyone and everyone that will listen. You will not regret hiring her!! -

Loved my look
Megan was super friendly and I’m glad she was my makeup artist for my wedding! I don’t wear makeup usually, so I was nervous how I would look for my special day. From the trial to the day of, I felt beautiful with the makeup she applied. It still felt natural and showed up excellent in pictures. -

Spectacular & Highly Recommend!
Megan joined my team very last minute (Wednesday before wedding!) due to unforeseen circumstances with my other MUA and she was such a joy to work with! Since we were unable to do a trial, she set aside enough time to do my make-up and made sure I was comfortable in what she applied. Megan also did last minute false lashes for some of my family members and was professional in this sudden request. I couldn't have felt more beautiful and like myself on such an important day, and highly recommend Megan...you won't be disappointed! -

It was so wonderful working with Megan on my wedding day! She was so easy and fun to work with, and she made sure that everyone was comfortable with their makeup for the day. Not only did everyone’s makeup look beautiful, but it lasted all night (even through lots of happy tears). Megan is so talented and it was such a joy to work with her. Highly recommend! -

So glad we chose Megan
I couldn't be more grateful that we went with Megan for our wedding. During my bridal trial we discovered all the things that didn't necessarily work for what I was envisioning for my wedding makeup. She was super easy to talk to and be around-- she has a great personality. The day of the wedding she came prepared and knew exactly how to give me what I was looking for. It was absolutely perfect and I don't think I've ever felt more beautiful in my life. She did all 3 of my bridesmaid's makeup as well as my mom and mother-in-law and each one couldn't stop talking about how much they loved their makeup. I couldn't recommend Megan more.-

Megan was wonderful and so accommodating. All of my bridesmaids, mom, mother in law and even aunt LOVED their makeup. She definitely can adapt to anything the client is looking for. Best in the business in our area for sure! -

Megan did an absolute wonderful job! She arrived early to my location for getting ready, and was extremely timely on applying everyone's make up! Everyone looked absolutely stunning.
She is open to suggestions and is amazing at what she does. She makes you feel comfortable and really allow the beautiful features of everyone to shine! Her make up application stayed perfectly all day and through the night. We even had a very humid day and I had no problems with my make up. -

Megan did my makeup (airbrush) and my 6 bridesmaids makeup for my wedding this past September and I am so glad I chose her! She is so sweet to work with and makes you feel like a million bucks! Megan also pays so much attention to details, she makes sure you loved your trial - she asks for feed back and then will apply that to day of makeup application. The airbrush makeup was worth every single penny - I only ever had to touch up my lip gloss once or twice for the entire day and the rest of my face was flawless. She made all my bridesmaids look gorgeous as well! I paid under $500 (including tip) for 7 people to get makeup done day of my wedding and I'd spend it all over again because Megan rocks! USE HER FOR YOUR MAKEUP NEEDS!! -

Megan is absolutely amazing! I got married 10.16.16 and she did my make up as well as my mom and my 4 bridesmaids. Megan is professional, funny, sweet, and really listens to what type of look you want. She is very knowledgeable and extremely talented. We got out make up down around 10am and it was still looking fabulous at midnight! I would 100% recommend Megan! You will not regret it!

Megan did the makeup for my wedding and I couldn't have been happier! She did an amazing job with both me and my bridesmaids. Her work is impeccable, and she made the whole experience fun for everyone. She really listens to what makeup look you are going for and gives good suggestions if you're not sure where to start. I definitely recommend her! -

Megan is an amazing makeup artist who did my makeup for my wedding this past November, my best friend recommended Megan to me after she got married. Megan was so much fun, very professional, and flexible with her schedule. I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist to work with! -

Megan was a pleasure to work with. I had a trial with her about 3 month prior to my wedding and she listened to my ideas and took notes so that wedding day would be perfect. She gave me exactly the look I was hoping for and actually helped calm me and get me in a good state of mind before walking down the aisle. She traveled to my location and accommodated my party even though it was only 3 people. I would definitely contact Megan again if I was in need of a make up artist. -

Disappointed to say the least
My trial went ok except she put my lashes so low on my eyes I looked tired/stoned. When I mentioned something to her she suggested I use a very expensive eye drop to open my eyes more.
Cut to the week of my wedding and she was demanding that my stylist’s salon (that was letting her use the space FOR FREE) have a specific size and height table. They had never heard of a traveling makeup artist that didn’t bring their own stuff.
Day of the wedding, she made my wedding party feel very rushed. She didn’t talk to anyone and just kept trying to push us to go faster.
She did my makeup and when I looked I noticed that one of my eyebrows was rounded and the other was straight. When I pointed it out she got angry and my first instinct was to try and wipe it off which made her even angrier.
She said she fixed it and honestly, it was like she just wanted to run out the door. Maybe she had another wedding booked that day?
Well, I finally got my wedding pictures back and it definitely wasn’t fixed. Eyebrows are completely different and it’s ALL I can see when I look at them. -
