Melissa did the makeup for my website photographs and the experience was beautiful.  Melissa’s expertise and professionalism are self-evident.  She was ready with suggestions for “the look” when I arrived, and they were perfect which made things easy. Importantly I look like me in the photographs but with better skin and subtle makeup.  

In addition to being highly professional, Melissa is very caring and understands how important it is to look and feel your best particularly for big events or being photographed for a business website.  She is also great fun, charismatic, encouraging, generous with her time and ideas.  She helped me with suggestions for the setting, told the photographer which side is my best side, stood in the background encouraging me and making faces to get me to relax! The morning turned out to be a lovely experience.  

I will be going straight to Melissa to have my makeup done before a special event or having any kind of a photoshoot in the future and highly recommend her.

I cannot recommend Melissa enough for any event where you want to look and feel your best, whether you are seeking a natural day-to-day look, want to look super glam, or have a particular look in mind.
