Melissa did a fabulous job on my wedding party's make-up! She arrived early and was ready to go. Melissa made myself and all of my bridesmaids beautiful! She even did my mom, mother in law, grandma, and flower girls. Melissa took her time with every girl and made sure to listen to our requests. The quality of work was unbelievably beautiful! I never knew I could look so beautiful. Her prices are reasonable too. Thank you Melissa for your kindess and excellent make-up skills! I am recommending you to everyone! read more

See all

Melissa is great!! She's super sweet and does an amazing job! I had SO many compliments on my wedding day about the make up she did for me, I couldn't have asked for better! Use Melissa, and you will not be sorry!! read more

Melissa was absolutely FABULOUS! I had Melissa do my make-up for my engagement photos. I found her on Yelp and I wanted to do a test-trial for a potential make-up artist for my wedding day. My engagement photo make-up was flawless. I not only LOVED my make-up, but Melissa made me totally feel at home and comfortable. I've gotten my make-up done before by a bunch of different stores in the mall (Mac, Sephora, mace's, etc) and Melissa has been the only one who has followed through with my vision perfectly. :) After having her do my engagement photos, I hired her & Robin to do my hair and make-up for my wedding day for myself, my mother, and my 7 bridesmaids.....everyone looked absolutely stunning with their make-up. The pictures turned out wonderful and it was just a joy to work with Melissa and her team. If you are looking for a great person for make-up and/or hair....Melissa is your girl! She is professional, helpful, and absolutely amazing at what she does! read more

Melissa is an amazing and talented make-up artist (with the added benefit of being super nice). I highly recommend her! She did my make-up for my baby shower last weekend and did a fantastic job. I have broken out a lot during my pregnancy (hormonal) and wanted to get my make up professionally done...I'm so glad I did as it turned out great and I got so many compliments. She is very professional, her studio is gorgeous and she answered all my emails promptly. I wish I know of her when I was looking for a make-up artist for my wedding. I will definitely have her do my make-up again. read more

Melissa was amazing!! I met her for the first time at my trial makeup appointment which I was late to, but Melissa did not mind staying late and made me feel so comfortable.. I am a person who prides myself in my makeup skills, but I didn't want to worry about doing it myself on my wedding day, and I'm always worried about someone else doing my makeup. Somehow whenever someone else does my makeup it's just not exactly what I want. I have to say that this woman is a true artist, she listened to everything I said and wasn't offended when I wanted something changed. On the day of my wedding she was on time and made everyone look beautiful! My mom, who has always been a tomboy, felt so beautiful but still looked like herself. I would definitely recommend meslissa to anyone getting married! read more

Melissa is amazing! She did my make-up for my July wedding and it looked phenomenal. Melissa came up with ideas that would allow me to achieve the look I wanted for my wedding day, and I was so happy with the results. My make-up lasted, stayed fresh and looked INCREDIBLE for 10+ hours. She was on time, professional, dependable and so positive. I love her and look forward to an occasion where I can have my make-up done again!! read more

Melissa is awesome. She did my wedding makeup along with my mom, mother of the groom and bridesmaids. Everyone looks amazing. She is so organized, was on time, didn't stress out, and did an amazing job. She is very talented and I highly recommend her. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. read more

I received an amazing chemical peel from Melissa. She is a skin guru! I wanted to do something before my wedding to tighten and brighten my skin, and she had the perfect solution. She is also doing my wedding make up. My trial went amazingly and she had suggestions to really compliment my features. I am so excited for my make up on my big day! I never thought I could find the perfect mix of professionalism, talent and kindness... But I have definitely found that in Melissa! read more

I hired Melissa to do my makeup for my June wedding (she did my MOH and bridesmaid as well) and it was one of the best decisions I made. Melissa has a special talent for enhancing (not masking) natural beauty. My make up lasted all day, which was extremely important since my husband and I took couples pictures after the wedding. She was extremely accommodating....arriving at my hotel at 4:30am to begin makeup. She was easy to be around, which is important on such a high-stress day. Her pricing is fair, especially considering the value she has to offer. I had so many positive comments about my make up on my wedding day -- my photographers, who have done tons of weddings, said Melissa's work was among the best they had seen. If you are interested in tasteful and beautiful makeup that leaves you looking like an incredible version of yourself, hire Melissa. You won't be sorry. read more

This review is long over due. Melissa did my makeup, my mom's, and my bridesmaids' about a year and a half ago. She is so professional, punctual, and extremely organized. She knows exactly how many people she can fit in within a certain timeframe. She knows a lot about bringing out your best features with makeup. She is so sweet and easy to work with. I highly recommend her for any wedding or special occasion! A very sweet person with a whole lot of talent! read more

Melissa did a truly beautiful job with my makeup for my engagement photos and wedding. She listened to exactly what I wanted and made me look the best I ever have while still looking like myself! My bridesmaids were all extremely happy with their makeup, as well - it's also the best I've ever seen any of them look! I was so impressed by Make Me Up's work!!!!! Plus, Melissa is a total sweetheart and helped make the getting ready process fun for everyone on the day of! read more

Melissa was AMAZING! She did my make up for my wedding day just the way I envisioned it! It remained perfect all night and she even gave me my own lipstick and gloss to use for touch ups. I would highly recommend her for any event. read more

Highly recommended! Melissa and Robin and team drove to Temecula for my wedding and helped me and my bridesmaids get ready at Ponte Vineyard Inn. They were super fun to work with and did such a great job on everyone's hair and make-up! They created schedules in advance to rotate through every person to fit in both hair and make-up as well as touch ups for everyone before we left. Melissa even gave me a touch up kit to use during the wedding, including the Mac lipstick that she used on me! The trial at Robin's salon was great. The salon is so cute - love the decor. We had a section in the back and I was also able to go in the back to make sure I liked how everything looked in the sunlight. Robin experimented with a few different looks I was thinking about for hair so we could figure out which looked best. If you're looking for hair and makeup for your wedding, check them out! You won't be disappointed. read more

Melissa was absolutely amazing! I was in California for three days for a last minute business trip. (And when I say last minute, I mean I emailed her around midnight a few hours before my morning flight.) About two weeks before my trip I had managed to get sun poisoning, second degree burns all along the front of my body including my face. At the time of my Cali trip, my face was still very red and blotchy. Melissa was able to fit me in for the evening I arrived and for the early mornings of both the other days before my meetings. She was absolutely spectacular! I've flown all around the world and never been as impressed as I was with her. She was friendly and helpful. Make Me-Up was a very comfortable setting. She asked me specifics about what I wanted and needed. She had me check to make sure I liked it afterwards from different angles and different lighting. The makeup look completely natural. No one could tell I had even gotten sun poisoning! I will definitely be using Make Me-Up whenever I'm in California, whether it be for business events of pleasure. read more

Melissa is a true make-up artist. I had my make-up done for my son's wedding and it looked flawless. I don't usually wear a lot of make-up so at first I thought it was too much. She assured me that it would look great in pictures and it did. I received many compliments! I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone and I will definitely use her again! Pam P read more

Melissa is the most, professional, kind, caring and patient make-up artist. She is truly amazing!! Melissa is was so very kind and patient with me. She was patient as some of my girls were not on time :/ She always has a positive attitude and is always willing to work around the Brides schedule. (Any future brides know what I means, things don't go always as plan) Yet, Melissa always, always keeps a smile and is very helpful. She is worth a every penny and them sum! You will not regret hiring her for your wedding party, she goes above and beyond to ensure you are happy with the end result! read more

Melissa is amazing! She was available on short notice for my step-daughter's wedding, ultra professional and personable as well, stayed in touch with me through the planning process and then .... All the bridesmaids raved about their make-up and they looked absolutely natural and stunning! We would all recommend Melisssa and her team with a Five Star endorsement! read more

Melissa is the best! She did the bridal party for my daughter's wedding. Bride, matron of honor (sister of bride), bridesmaids, mother of the bride (me!) and mother of the groom. The bride was stunning, she glowed. All of us were very happy with the way we looked. I was thrilled with my makeup. Melissa was fun to have at the house with us while everyone got ready. She is easy to be around, calm and just delightful! read more

Melissa does amazing work! I felt like a million dollars on my wedding day!! Thank you Melissa!!

Melissa not only is an amazing make artist but very personable and a joy to talk to. I went on a trial for my wedding makeup by someone else, but was disappointed because she did what she wanted without really talking to me about it. Melissa on the other hand was very clear all the way through and made suggestions of what would be best but ultimately did what I wanted. By the end of the trial, I was reassured that my makeup would look absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! I would recommend Melissa hands down to anyone who wants to look and feel beautiful on their special day! read more

This review is long overdo. Melissa did the makeup for my wedding on May 24th 2014. From my initial inquiry to the wedding day she was responsive, professional, and super sweet. It was tricky for me to do my trial run since I was living in San Francisco, but getting married in so cal. She was always accommodating and understood when I had to change plans last minute. On the wedding day she was on time, cheery, and so much fun to work with. She did everyone's makeup: grandmas, moms, bridal party & bride. Everyone looked absolutely stunning. Melissa and her assistant Ashley were just the best. They use the best products and air-brush on everyone and it looked gorgeous. She also has great prices. When I first started looking for a makeup artist I inquired at a lot of places, and some were just outrageously expensive. I couldn't have been happier that I found her on Yelp and hired her for my big day. Thank you Melissa & Ashley for doing such a great job, I can't thank you enough!! read more

Melissa did the makeup for my wedding. She took care of Myself, two bridesmaids, my mom, my groom's mom and groom's sister. Everyone has very different styles and she was amazing at making everyone look beautiful and feel comfortable! She was absolutely wonderful and so patient with me, even encouraging me to come back for a couple of trials, because I could not seem to articulate the look I wanted. Each time, the makeup was beautiful and somehow subtly different. I did a lot of research and her prices are absolutely competitive--most people charge the same without including airbrush. Overall, I loved the way I looked on my wedding day and I would recommend Melissa to anyone looking! read more

Melissa is incredible! We had a wedding on July 4- she did make up for the bride, 5 bridesmaids and the mother of the bride- everyone loved their make up! Many compliments from guests at the wedding- it was so fun! Melissa definitely made us feel beautiful! Highly recommend you contact Melissa!! read more

Melissa is amazing! She is so sweet and professional and really takes the time to make sure you are happy with the way you look. On a special day she makes all the difference! She did my makeup for my wedding and for my best friends wedding and I couldn't have been happier both times! She really feels like a friend who happens to be AMAZING at making others beautiful at the same time. I highly recommend her!! read more

Melissa did a great job on my make-up for the wedding. It was exactly what I wanted. She is very calm and helped me stay calm on the big day. She did all of my bridesmaids as well and everyone looked stunning. She is punctual, she has good taste and makes sure that everyone looks great. I even had a few bug bites from the destination that she was able to airbrush for me. She goes above and beyond and i would 100% recommend her.- Gina Christen read more

Melissa with Make-Me-Up is incredible! I was married just over a month ago and she did the makeup for myself, the maid of honor and the mother of the bride. She is so professional and talented and created the exact look we had described to her. It was the best feeling going into the wedding day not being stressed or worried about how the makeup would turn out. I couldn't have been happier or more pleased with Melissa and Make Me-Up. Melissa truly is a pro at what she does and to top it off, is sweet as can be and so easy to work with. Thank you! read more

I would highly recommend Melissa to do your make-up for any occasion. She did our make-up for my daughter's wedding. Melissa worked with the Bride, the Mother of the Bride and the Maid of Honor (sister of the Bride). She listened to each of us and applied our make-up exactly as we wished. She is very sweet and easy-going and helped to keep us all calm on our very exciting day. We will certainly use her again for our next big occasion!! read more

I had my make done by Melissa for my wedding, as did my Maid of honor, bridesmaids and mother of the Bride. She was amazing! We all loved our make-up and got many compliments through out the day. Melissa is so nice and such a pleasure to work with. It was easy to tell her what we wanted -- which she so greatly executed. I cannot wait for the next big occasion so I have a reason to go back and have my make up done by Melissa again! read more

Let me start by saying how much I loved having Melissa as a part of my wedding day. She made me, my mother, and my bridesmaids so beautiful!!! She conformed to their own unique looks to make them feel the best they could be. She even contoured my nose so it didn't look so big since I am pregnant. It was an emotional crazy day and Melissa made it wonderful. I would recommend her 100% And her prices were unbeatable!!! I refer her to all my friends and want them to have the wonderful experience I did:) Thanks Melissa if you read this. You are so talented and creative!!! read more

Melissa did a fantastic job making both my daughter and myself look amazing for our special event. Can't wait to use her services again!

Melissa is absolutely fantastic! I saw her for both a facial and a peel and I loved them both. She was very up front and clear to me with what to expect each treatment and definitely gave me the best facial I have ever had. She takes the time to understand your skin and explain what she is doing throughout the process... I can't wait to get more facials from her! read more

Melissa is extremely knowledgable and professional in her craft. I sincerely appreciate her friendliness and welcoming nature. I would HIGHLY recommend her services to anyone who expects nothing but the best! :) read more
