My 3 friends and I went to a wedding in St Helena and we decided to hire Melissa to do our makeup up for the event. And oh my goodness we were all so incredibly happy that we did! We ranged from the mid 50’s to 90 years of age. Everyone one us loved the experience and the results! We were the most beautiful versions of ourselves for the big day! We not only looked so pretty but felt pretty too. Melissa is the kind of person who you want to be friends with for the rest of your life! She did an amazing job listening to what each of us wanted then executed our wishes precisely and perfectly! I hope to work with her again! Truly we all loved her and the experience so much its hard to put into words! Hire her! I promise you will be so happy you did! Thank you so very much Melissa!

Working with Melissa was amazing! She came through for us on short notice and did a great job! She was very responsive and professional during the whole process. She offered suggestions but also listened to what we wanted. And her artistry makeup work turned out beautifully. We strongly recommend her for anyone needing her services!

She did my makeup for my wedding day in San Francisco. She executed my makeup exactly how I wanted it! I loved all the products she used. All high end and she cares about what she uses on her clients. All my friends and family loved how their makeup came out and it did last all night. I was given a touch up kit that I did use to reapply my lipstick and retouch my face. I highly recommend her and her team!

Melissa was easy and fun to work with. She listens to what her client wished and the outcome is just beautiful. My daughter loved the way her make up turned so well which reflected on all her beautiful senior photos. Highly recommends Melissa. You wont be disappointed!
