Fabulous makeup artist for wedding!

Michelle was a perfect addition to the Getting Ready crew on the day of my wedding! Michelle is an amazingly calm presence yet is also incredibly skilled at what she does. I can’t emphasize how important her calm presence was on a day that is crazed and busy.

I did a makeup trial with her a few months before the wedding and Michelle got exactly the vibe/look that I wanted! She did a beautiful job on me, my sisters and my mom, all of whom have very different approaches to makeup. Throughout the whole process, from initial email to the big day, Michelle was also incredibly responsive and always emailed back within hours. She was so easy and lovely to work with and I recommend her with flying colors!

Michelle is a pro — she’s worked for years with some of the biggest names in fashion —and it shows: she’s a calming presence, a clear and proactive communicator, flexible and accommodating, and she sent me (and my sister) off to my wedding with subtle, beautiful makeup that didn’t budge all night. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of bridal or other event makeup!

Perfect makeup experience

If you’re looking to hire a makeup artist for your wedding or another event, look no further! Michelle is wonderful — responsive, kind, talented and easy to work with in every way. I’m not a person who wears makeup normally and she did an amazing job of making me feel beautiful and natural on my wedding day. She also did my mom and sister’s makeup and everyone looked amazing! Michelle has the perfect energy for the day-of frenzy, she was on-time, calm, professional, warm and had us all looking gorgeous and ready in time for our photos. I highly recommend working with Michelle!
