    Hair and Makeup for Wedding

    Melissa and her crew were very professional and did a great job with the hair and makeup for my bridesmaids, groomswoman, my mother, mother of the groom, and myself. We all looked great! Melissa was willing to set my hair last minute because I was worried my curls wouldn't stay. Thank you for everything!

    Felt So Beautiful! Hair and Makeup

    Never have I ever felt more beautiful. Brittany was my lead artist, she was amazing and so nice. My bridesmaids and mother of bride/groom loved the experience. My trial was smooth and easy and Brittany was very responsive to any input I had which created my flawless wedding day look. Blush was easy to work with as a company, discussed pricing and availability directly with the owner who was patient and answered all my questions. It is a 50% deposit, which is steep and I was hesitant due to COVID but it worked out and Melissa was able to spell everything out in the contract. Her coordinator Ashley was SO responsive and awesome, very professional.

    An absolute dream!

    Blush was incredibly responsive and eager to work with me to make my vision for my wedding come true. They were very accommodating and made it simple to coordinate the trial and day of services. The prices are extremely reasonable especially considering the quality of work.

    In all honesty, I was hesitant to book any HMU artist for myself and my bridal party because most of us are Black and it is very difficult to find reviews or many diverse portfolio photos. However, I forgot about all of these worries as soon as I met our lead artist, Erin, and had my trial. Erin is incredible and I had no concerns once I was in her chair. She achieved my dream look effortlessly and had me looking better than I could have ever expected. Beyond her skill and talent, Erin is extremely kind and easy to talk to - she made the experience perfect! I cannot praise Blush by M. Marie enough. If you are looking for HMU for a special occasion, stop looking and book now!

    Awesome experience

    Blush was always very responsive even on the weekends when I expected to wait until Monday for a reply. They were flexible and made it easy to coordinate the trial at my own apartment and the day of services at our Airbnb. We really liked our lead artist, Brittany. She made the process easy for someone that isn’t used to having hair or makeup done and I was impressed with the results. She was able to pull off a hair style I wasn’t sure was possible due to thin hair by using some extensions. She remembered my notes from the trial and made some minor tweaks with no issues the day of the wedding.

    We had the bride with a trial, a junior bridesmaid, 5 hair and makeup, and one makeup for the cost of 1640.

    Cristina in Austin was awesome!

    Cristina was great! She worked really well with my best friend, who was my hairdresser that day! They worked together and they weren’t concerned with who was supposed to do who and was very flexible. She made the day go so smoothly. She did all of my girls’ hair and did my makeup as well as one of my bridesmaids. She is very knowledgeable! She can do all complexions and ages when it comes to makeup as well!! Please see photos!

    Phenomenal & Exceptional Service

    Blush by M. Marie made my bridal photos and wedding day the most memorable. They are so responsive to any and all of my questions that I had would get an answer in less than 24 hours (and typically within a few hours). Cristina met me so early to do my bridal photos and then they came at 6am to get started on our wedding day hair and makeup! Always on time, easy to talk with, flexible with each person's hair style and makeup, and very professional. Reasonably priced as well! I cannot say enough good things about this company. Everyone raved at how great my hair and makeup looked at the wedding and I owe it all to Cristina and Blush by M. Marie. 1000% recommend for anyone looking for hair and makeup for your special occasion!

    Glamours and flawless

    Melissa is such an amazing artist and a pleasure to work with!!! I was referred to her by a friend and I am so happy with how my wedding makeup and hair turned out. She was able to take some ideas I had and turned me into what I felt like royalty. She was professional and most importantly ON TIME!! Every bride stresses about being on time. Melissa made sure me and all my bridesmaids were done at the right time. She was quick to fix some problems I had with my extensions and still gave me the sleek look I wanted. My makeup was natural and glamorous none of it looked caked on or over the top. My hair and makeup really represented me and my personality. I didn’t even have to touch up my makeup one time during the whole day. It looked flawless the entire day which I am so happy about because I didn’t have time to do any sort of touch ups. I couldn’t have been happier with booking with Melissa she is absolutely amazing. Thank you so much for making me feel like royalty.

    I had the pleasure of working with Brittany a my hair and makeup stylist! She is incredibly talented and such a sweetheart!

    Her timing was spot on as we were all done and ready to go when we needed to and that was ALOT of girls - me, my mom, and 6 bridesmaids. She worked through all us like a champ and everyone looked incredible!

    Brittany's understanding of my style was impeccable. She knew that I was looking for something more natural, yet gave me that bridal glow. Boy did she deliver!! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day!

    I am so grateful for Brittany and all that she did to make my wedding day so special.

    I'm so happy and grateful that I found Blush and this wonderful team of artists! I have had several people do professional makeup for me for various occasions and Melissa was the best. I truly was amazed when I looked in the mirror. I looked like me only WAY more glamorous and beautiful, yet the makeup looked COMPLETELY natural and beautiful. I don't wear makeup much in my daily life and she did such an organic, natural look yet highlighted my best features in the most amazing way, I was blown away. She's a true artist and I highly recommend her!

    First of all, Melissa is a true miracle worker! I can't recall how I came across Blush by M. Marie, but I am SO glad I did! I was fortunate enough to get Melissa for my trial and my wedding day and she made me look beautiful both times. She is so friendly, professional, punctual and amazing at what she does! If you want to look totally beautiful on your wedding day, you must book Melissa and her crew now! The way she does hair and makeup so effortlessly with such amazing results is truly incredible. I wish she could do my hair and makeup everyday! Thank you Melissa for working your magic on me and my girls! You're the best!

    I loved my experience with blush. I am a real believer in you get what you pay for. I think on your wedding day hair and make up is the thing to splurge on. I decided to have my hair and make up done and pay for the bridesmaids to get their hair and make up done. Everyone looked gorgeous and kept saying how much they loved how they looked. My hair and make up was perfect and I last minute changed on Melissa. She worked with me and did an incredible job. I have never felt so beautiful. Not only does she do an amazing job but she is incredibly honest. I have pretty thin hair so she told me to achieve the look I wanted I needed extensions and she sent me to an affordable place. She is the best, she is so fun to be around and her lead Erin is amazing too. I love these gals!!! If you want to look like a million bucks I would trust blush.

    How can I put into one review how AWESOME Melissa and the rest of the crew at Blush by M. Marie are? Professional, outgoing, authentic, funny, and most important, passionate; only a few words to describe Melissa. Before even meeting her in person, I booked Melissa due to her incredible hair and flawless makeup in her portfolios. While at first this decision was terrifying, it ended up being the best decision that I ever made! Melissa did my trail, hair extensions following my trial, boudoir shoot, and day of wedding make up. To all the brides that want to feel the most beautiful than they ever have on their wedding day **STOP HERE**, because that is exactly how Melissa and her team will make you feel. Truly, I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life every time Melissa did my hair and makeup (Feeling like I was talking to an amazing friend throughout my hair and makeup and not my Makeup/Hair Artist was just an added bonus!). Along with myself, my bridesmaids, mom, and mother-n-law raved about how beautiful the felt the day of the wedding all because of Melissa and her lead artist Christina. Did I mention that we all got our makeup/hair done between 7:00am-11:00am and it immaculately lasted all day/night long? Besides incredible hair and flawless makeup, I think it is also very important to point our Melissa and her team’s work ethic. Reliable, prompt, honest, flexible, detail orientated, and passionate for ultimate beauty, this team is the entire package! If you are still questioning what beauty team to choose on the most important day of your life, you have now found your answer! THANK YOU Melissa and the rest of the team at Blush by M. Marie!!!

    Melissa and her lead artist, Christina were the BEST. I felt like it was a big splurge at first, but they were worth every penny! Because they made me, my wedding party, and family members look and feel fabulous:) Melissa was very easy to work with, super accommodating she even came to my house in Orange County for the trial. I never quite know how to explain what I want for my hair and makeup, but with some pictures and little explanations, she knew exactly what I wanted and it was just perfect. I got so many compliments on my hair and I can't wait for my wedding pictures!

    Melissa is amazing! She is so easy to work with and really listens to what you want. Melissa did my makeup/ hair for my wedding, along with all my bridesmaids...and everyone looked so gorgeous! She brought along her assistant and both did amazing. Exactly what I had envisioned for our wedding day! She definitely is a pro at what she does and I am so glad I chose her for our wedding day. I wanted a girly boho inspired look and she definitely created it! I couldn't get over how pretty each of my bridesmaids looked. Definitely hire this girl! Thanks Melissa! XO

    I love Melissa!! She was amazing to work with. Very friendly and personable as well as professional. She did wedding hair and make-up for myself along with my sister, mom, and mother-in-law. Everyone looked fantastic. Thank you Melissa for being an amazing part of my wedding day!

    Where do I begin? Melissa does incredible work. She is so easy to communicate with and she always answered my emails and texts promptly. I love how Melissa really listens to her clients and what they want. She would listen to my concerns with makeup and then changed anything I wasn't in love with and always never took changes personally; she truly wants her clients to be happy, comfortable and look their best. If I thought I was happy with my makeup trial then I was over the moon with my makeup on the day of my wedding. I honestly felt so beautiful and 99% of that was because of Melissa (the other 1% is because I was in my wedding dress!). Melissa is also so incredibly efficient and fast without compromising quality at all. Melissa no only did my makeup but also did 5 bridesmaids hair , 2 bridesmaids makeup and both my mother and mother-in-laws makeup. I was initially nervous that we would fall behind schedule but she is so fast and so good that we actually finished early! While Melissa did not do my hair for my wedding (my friend did my hair as a wedding gift to me) she did an amazing job on my bridesmaids hair. Had I not had my friend do my hair, I definitely would have had Melissa do my hair and I know it would have been gorgeous. I cannot encourage other brides enough to book Melissa...she is truly fantastic!

    I do not think I could have found a better makeup artist than Melissa. She is so talented! I booked Melissa to do makeup for my six bridesmaids, 2 moms and me and she nailed it. Not only did everyone's makeup look flawless, but it lasted all night! We all felt so beautiful. A few of the ladies were nervous because they had never had anyone do their makeup and were worried about looking ridiculous, but everyone was so happy with her work.
    Also, this girl is FAST! One of my biggest concerns was running late because I did not want to feel rushed or add any stress to my day. I knew after my trial (which I did the same day as my engagement photos, perfect!) that she would be right on schedule. And on the day of, she finished early! But you'd never know because her work is so fantastic. Melissa also did tattoo coverage for one of the BMs and it was amazing. And she's super friendly and easy to chat with! And her work looks amazing on camera and in photos - she's the best!! If you are considering Melissa and her company, I definitely recommend following her on Instagram - it will convince you she's the one!

    It's hard to find someone who will do exactly what you request them, but Melissa went so far and above that! I'm SO glad I booked her and I can't wait for her to glam me up on my wedding day! She's creative, playful and just plain amazing at her craft. When all my friends/family saw the video she made on Instagram, they ALL requested her for day of services! If you don't book Melissa, you aren't booking the best. Hands down.

    Melissa is the absolute BEST when it comes to hair and make-up. I had the pleasure of using her on several occasions! The first was as the Bride. Not only did she do my hair/make-up, but she also helped with my extensions. It seems like a little thing but having that expertise on the type I should use (based on my objective) and installation really made the experience so much easier. I absolutely LOVED my hair and make-up on my wedding day. She has a talent for taking people and making them their absolute BEST selves. Her knowledge about make-up based on how it is being photographed is especially important. Melissa was punctual, professional, has an AMAZING attitude and is just an all around pleasure. She books up quick though - if there was a con then that would be the only one. And rightfully so- she is AMAZING! Funny to say this but her talent with eyebrows - WOW!! I typically hate the way make-up artists do my eyebrows but Melissa makes them look amazing and natural. I was lucky enough to have Melissa do my make-up for a friend's wedding recently too. I couldn't have been more excited ! Quite frankly, I think her photos really speak for themselves.

    I LOVE MELISSA! I did two hair and make-up trials with her before my wedding (due to my own indecisiveness), so I got to spend a fair amount of time with her. Is it weird to saying I'm going to miss her?
    Melissa is a wonderful artist. Some of my bridesmaids brought pictures of what hair and make-up they wanted, and some let Melissa call all the shots. Either way, they all ended up looking gorgeous. With my own look, I was pretty picky and had Melissa make a number of small tweaks so that my make-up was exactly what I wanted. I really think one of the best things about Melissa is that she is totally open to feedback. I felt comfortable telling her what I did and didn't like during my trials and on the day of the wedding. As a result, I wasn't worried at all about achieving the look I wanted. I knew she would get me there! Overall, my wedding look was executed perfectly, and I felt great. I still looked like myself (which was important to me), albeit a very glamorous version of myself!
    Melissa is so upbeat and fun to be around, so she helped make the wedding environment wonderful. I highly recommend her services to anyone!

    I can honestly say that Blush by M. Marie was perfection. I was BLOWN away with the results of my makeup and my 14-year-old daughters makeup for my sister's wedding. I told her specifically what I wanted and she delieverd and then some. My makeup lasted the ENTIRE day and looked amazing until I, sadly, had to take it off. The entire day I was told how radiant I looked and it was all because of the talent that went into my makeup and hair! As for my 14-year-old daughter, she did an amazing age-appropriate application that make her feel and look stunning. Overall she was incredible and I would not hestiate a moment to recommend her to ANYONE that needs professional makeup. Truly the best!!!

    I had Melissa and her lead artist Cristina for my wedding day and they were amazing! She showed up on time, ready to work and finished with time to spare for touch ups. Melissa is very quick to respond to any emails I sent and made me feel very comfortable! She even gave me tips and advice during my trial that came very much in handy for the wedding day. My entire bridal party loved her and Cristina and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for hair and makeup! You can tell they are true professionals at their craft!

    Melissa was really fast to reply to my inquiry out of all the makeup artists that I contacted. I felt like she knew exactly my style and what I wanted even though I was probably a mess while planning everything else at the same time! She made me feel really relaxed and comfortable on my big day, like she was just one of the girls and helped put me at ease in the midst of all my chaos. I definitely recommend airbrush, my makeup kept all day through tears, sweat, etc. I have also used Melissa for hair and makeup for my birthday and would recommend Melissa to anyone and will definitely hire her again!

    Melissa and her team were amazing to work with. Not to mention she was so easy to get in contact with before my big day. My bridesmaids looked stunning and I absolutely loved my hair and makeup. I was lucky enough to have a trial run prior to my wedding day-I thought that was really helpful in the whole deciding process of what look I was going for. Thank you so much Melissa, you rock!
