Amazing Wedding Day Experience
I had Michelle do our makeup for my wedding day and I have nothing but good things to say about her! We were a covid couple so multiple changes and Michelle was beyond flexible and easy to work with. Us girls had a very early start to the day for getting ready and Michelle and her assistant were there right on time, ready to start! They moved quickly and efficiently through each of us (there were 5 including myself). Each girls makeup looked beyond incredible. When it came to my makeup, I am very indecisive and ended up changing my mind from our trial on the big day and she pulled it off flawlessly. There was no delay either, she finished each of us and was even able to do touch ups right before we left. Our make up stayed in place throughout all the pictures, ceremony and reception. Everyone of my girls glowed and raves about how much they loved their makeup. Honestly, I truly did not believe I could look as beautiful as I did on my big day and it’s thanks to Michelle! My sister has already said she will be hiring her for her wedding and for any future events I have, I will certainly be hiring her! -

Magic Wedding Makeup
I’ve known Michelle for several years as she worked as the MUA at my last hair salon and often shaped my eyebrows. When I was starting to plan my wedding I knew I wanted to work with Michelle because she is so talented, kind, and a total professional. She did makeup for me, my mom, and several of my bridesmaids and everyone felt fantastic and very comfortable with the process. Michelle was a lot of fun to talk to but stayed on task and we finished right on time.
In addition, my mom was concerned about aging skin and had not ever had makeup done so she was a little nervous. Michelle listened to her concerns and was well versed in products that could make my mom feel even more beautiful that day.
As for me- my gorgeous makeup lasted all day and all night & held up beautifully (though a lot of happy tears and crazy dancing). I was so thrilled when I looked at photos because what I saw in the mirror that day was reflected in all my photos.
I would recommend Michelle to anyone looking for a MUA! *Note the photo with the blue wallpaper was taken after 1am (to show how wel my makeup lasted!) -

Lola Sent on 06/26/2019Michelle is THE BEST!! Hire her NOW!
Michelle was simply put, one of the best decisions I made during my wedding planning. She is not only talented, but she is genuinely an amazing person. My wedding was in Michigan but I live in New Orleans; she happened to be travelling there with her family and offered to have my trial during her vacation! We ended up chatting for hours, and I really feel like we were two old friends catching up even though it was the first time we ever met. On my wedding day, she listened to what every person wanted and tailored their make-up to their style and preferences. Do yourself a favor and hire Michelle, you will NOT be disappointed. -

Amazing make-up!
Michelle did my make-up for my wedding along with my bridesmaids. She was amazing and so much fun to work with! She did a truly amazing job! Would recommend her to all future brides! -

Kelly Sent on 06/11/2018Michelle is WONDERFUL! I had so much trouble finding a makeup artist for my wedding – prior to meeting Michelle I had trials with two other very highly rated makeup artists in the Detroit area. I was not happy with either…both times were pretty awful. I’m so glad I found Michelle.
First, she’s very professional and responsive. I reached out to a lot of makeup artists when I was looking for someone to do makeup for my wedding – most of them never even responded. Michelle always responded quickly to answer my questions. On the day of the wedding she was all setup and ready for us on time – we even got done early!
Second, she’s such a wonderful person to work with. She truly listens to what you want and encourages you to speak up about your likes/dislikes. She is such a kind, welcoming person that it’s really easy to talk to her about any questions or concerns. We had a great time getting ready with her on the day of the wedding!
Finally (and most importantly), she’s so talented! Michelle did my makeup for both my engagement photos and my wedding. Both times I felt so incredibly beautiful without feeling unrecognizable or like I had a mask of makeup on my face. My wedding makeup never broke down and looked so great all day! Michelle did makeup for all of my bridesmaids and my mother on the day of my wedding. My bridal party had girls of all skin shades – from super pale to Indian to black. Every single person looked amazing, and all of the girls were so happy with how they looked!
I can’t recommend Michelle enough – she’s a gem!Michelle Michalak Makeup Artist's reply:
Wow, Kelly! Thank you so very much for the kind review. It was SUCH a pleasure working with you and your bridal party!! I hope to work with you again!! Congratulations again!! Big hugs! -

User2451681 Sent on 12/02/2015Michelle did my makeup for my April 2014 wedding, and the experience was everything I could have wanted! We did a test run a couple weeks before the wedding, and after wearing the makeup for a couple hours I determined that the eye makeup was a touch too heavy for me. On my wedding day Michelle executed flawlessly and efficiently, with just the right amount of eye makeup and artistry. She was able to accentuate my features with subtle elegance.
As important as Michelle's technical and creative skills are her people skills. She has a warmth about her that makes you feel special, beautiful and calm. We chatted about our common interests while she worked, and amazingly she did not lose concentration or time. The whole time I felt at ease; this is so important for a bride on her big day!
I often run into Michelle while out 'n about, and she always greets me with a big smile. She is a big part of what made my wedding day special - she will warm your heart and make you a sexy beast (if that's the look you're going for). Couldn't recommend her more. -

Michelle is incredibly talented at what she does, you will not regret hiring her! She is professional in every sense of the word, she's responsive, friendly and truly listens to help achieve your vision. She was great to work with leading up to our wedding, but was even better when things hit the fan and we had to reschedule a handful of times, change locations, etc. due to the pandemic. I could not recommend her enough!Michelle Michalak Makeup Artist's reply:
Thank you so much for the kind review, Haylie! It was an honor to be a part of your day with your friends and family. You looked absolutely gorgeous! Cheers! -
