About

Hello Beautiful Brides!

My name is Melissa and I am the owner of Make Me Up. I have been a makeup artist for over 20 year and have done hundreds of weddings. I took a short break from wedding makeup while I was focusing on building my Aesthetician business. I started doing weddings again in 2023, I missed it deeply! Please feel free to check out my instagram @makemeup_melissa. I am a traveling makeup artist and will go on location anywhere. The major states that I work in currently are California, Las Vegas, NV & Utah!

I have also been working as a Medical Aesthetician for over 16 years and provides clients with the best skin care treatments and advise. Melissa's goal is to enhance your makeup and skin therapy experience.

*All hair services are done by the beautiful and talented Robin Dunn or Christina Irene. We work together to coordinate the perfect look and package for each individual bride.

Please feel free to email or call Melissa with any questions. Can't wait to be a part of your special day!

Kindly,

Melissa Caufield

Melissa was the absolute best makeup artist I have ever met. She made me feel so comfortable and confident in every choice I made on our wedding day. I told Melissa up front that I am very particular about my makeup and like it to look a certain way. She completely read my mind and gave me everything and more I could have asked for on my wedding day. I can not explain how TALENTED she is. She knows exactly how to take your color, skin type, and wants and make the perfect look that you are asking for. There is no one else I would have trusted on such a stressful day, other than Melissa. She went above and beyond for me and everyone in my bridal party and I can not thank her enough! Thank you Melissa, I look forward to seeing you in the future! We love you!

Thank you so much to Melissa for being our hair and makeup savior for our wedding! We had previously booked a vendor who became pregnant between booking and the wedding, and could no longer travel to the wedding location. We found Melissa < 3 months before the wedding, and not only did she squeeze me in for a hair and makeup trial before the wedding but did a PHENOMENAL job with our hair and makeup. Her squad was on time the day of the wedding and provided an amazingly relaxed setting for our hair and makeup that also allowed us to all sleep in - a miracle in the land of getting ready for weddings! Beyond that, Melissa's hair team was SO fast it was amazing. Melissa was flexible and made all of us feel comfortable with the various makeup styles we wanted (from natural for my mom to more traditional makeup for me, the bride). I would recommend her to anyone getting married in Southern California - I wish I lived closer so we could work together again! Thank you Melissa!

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!

Melissa did beautiful make up on a bride I photographed, as well as the bride's mother and bridesmaids. She was pretty fast and did an excellent job; the bride looked like a movie star! The make up wasn't over-done, (which is a problem I see happen often unfortunately), the foundation color on the bride's face matched the rest of her body perfectly- which is very important for me, so I don't have do any photoshop work in post production to make it look all even and matching. I'm looking forward to working with Melissa again soon! Anna-Marie Goddard www.goddardstudios.com
