    Great Makeup Artist

    Michelle did my makeup for my wedding and was fantastic! She responds quickly and is very flexible. She was so friendly at my makeup trial and is very talented! We then discussed changes I wanted for my wedding day and she did my makeup exactly as I wanted! I would recommend to anyone.

    Very talented, bubbly personality

    Michelle did my makeup for my June wedding in Raleigh. From the moment I met her, I was excited to work with her. During my trial, she listened to my input and made changes to make sure we had the look just right. On the day of the wedding, the whole bridal party loved working with her. She put everyone at ease and we enjoyed having her bubbly personality in the bridal suite. Everyone looked like the best version of themselves and she made the whole getting ready process more enjoyable!

    Wonderfully Talented Makeup Artist for any occassion

    Michelle is a fantastic and talented makeup artist. My makeup plans fell through soon before my wedding on 5/20/22 and I contacted Michelle with a referral from a friend. She was quick to respond, timely, and super flexible with any changes I made as the day approached. Her work is stunning and I couldn't have been happier with how I looked on my wedding day. Many people asked about my makeup and the pictures were flawless. She is so easy to talk to and immediately put me at ease the first time we met. If you are looking for a makeup artist for any occasion, I would highly recommend Michelle to you.

    Bridal Beauty!

    Michelle was amazing! She is so fun to work with and gave me exactly what I was looking for on my wedding day. Say yes to the lashes. They look amazing and very comfortable. She's great because she can do small parties and she will travel to you. Perfect for the big day!

    Spectacular Make-Up Artist!

    Michelle Clark is such an awesome and sweet make-up artist! She did my make-up for my wedding day and it came out amazing! Her make-up trial was so helpful, too. She listened to all my ideas and really took the time do everything perfectly! She made me, my bridesmaids, my mom, mother-in-law, and even a few friends look and feel so beautiful, too. Her assistant, Bethany, was just as incredible to work with! It felt like we'd all known each other for ages, as well! They both brought so much flair, fun, and comfort to my wedding day! :)

    This Lady Is A MUST!!!

    When looking for a makeup artist I wanted someone with a bubbly personality and was specialized in natural look. I wont the jackpot with Karen Michelle. She is a MUST. I had no idea about what type of makeup for my wedding day except I knew natural colors. My mom never wears makeup and she had no ideas either. Karen worked her magic and our looks came out great. Her amazing personality, charm, and ease about herself helped make my day more special due to the fact I did not have bridesmaids. If I have any events in the future you can be sure I will be looking for her again.

    Run (don't walk) to Michelle! :)

    I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Michelle! I've had the joy of knowing Michelle for years having worked in the wedding industry myself! Michelle has done my makeup for everything from business head shots to Galas. So when it was time for me to pick someone to do my wedding makeup, it truly was a no brainer! Michelle is not only crazy talented but also SO MUCH FUN! :) She will have you smiling, laughing and feeling like your most beautiful self!

    Yes yes yes

    I cannot say enough good things about Michelle- this review will not do her justice! I am beyond thankful for Michelle and her talent. She is so good at makeup. I hardly ever wear makeup at all, so it was really important for me to look like myself. She was able to take what I wanted (when I couldn't even really put it into words) and work her magic to make me feel beautiful!

    Michelle brings such a bright and happy spirit to her work. For the trial, her studio is so funny and happy. She was able to make all the girls smile and we had so much fun chatting with her. She is so good at what she does and I am so grateful for how she helped me and my bridesmaid enhance our beauty! I recommend Michelle so highly for all your beauty needs!

    Fantastic Experience!

    Michelle is fabulous! She did my make up for my wedding along with all of my bridal party. She was fantastic to work with and made us all feel beautiful without feeling like we had tons of make up on. We have a wonderful experience and look forward to being able to use Michelle and her team in the future! Thank you Michelle!

    Michelle is truly a phenomenal artist and person, and she makes her clients feel beautiful and at ease. You are a gem, Michelle!

    Michelle Clark checks *all* the boxes for me. Michelle was the first person to ever do my make-up professionally about 8 years ago and she made the experience comfortable and explained things to me each step of the way (I was weirdly scared of false lashes and now I'm in love!).

    Flash forward to 2021, Michelle did my wedding day hair and make-up! Booking Michelle was a no-brainer for me - her experience, beauty skills, and overall vibe as an amazing human made her my #1 choice. On top of that, she listened to me with all of my many weird skin allergies and concerns and still produced flawless make-up that lasted from our first look all the way to the dive bar at the end of the night 🎉

    Michelle is truly a phenomenal artist and person, and she makes her clients feel beautiful and at ease. You are a gem, Michelle!

    💋If you're in need of HMU services, go book her now!

    Michelle is Phenomenal!

    Michelle provided wedding day makeup for me, my bridesmaids, my mother, and mother-in-law. She couldn't have been more lovely to work with, and we actually had a TON of fun chatting in the bridal suite was everyone was getting made up.

    One of the things I appreciated MOST about Michelle - she very much wants to understand what suits you and what look you're trying to achieve. I wanted something fairly neutral - I told her I didn't want to look terribly made up - just wanted to look like the best version of me... and she delivered! I have a couple pictures from my wedding day that I refer to as "Disney princess pictures" - I still look like me, but an AMAZINGLY PRETTY version! She was also very receptive to going super low-key with my Asian mama and my mother in law - both of whom aren't used to wearing much make up. They both looked beautiful, but Michelle kept them to a look they were both comfortable with.

    I would work with Michelle again in a heartbeat and absolutely recommend her!

    Beauty with a Friend

    I was super nervous about having my makeup done for my wedding day but Michelle was so easygoing and instantly made me feel comfortable. Michelle also took the time to make my teenage and preteen daughters feel special and beautiful which meant so much to me.

    You Need to Hire Michelle!!

    Michelle is absolutely incredible.

    I have never felt more beautiful than I did after working with her. As someone who does not wear much make-up at all, I was nervous about having my make-up done for the wedding and still feeling like myself. There is no one I would have rather worked with based on that fear. She helped me feel like the most glamorous and beautiful version of myself on the day of my wedding as well as for my engagement photos. She is an artist that understands people and sees them for who they are and who they can be.

    The experience that vendors help create for you on a wedding day is just as important as their work. Michelle’s presence made us feel so comfortable, happy and engaged. She is easy going, professional, and a blast to work with. She is hilarious, observant, calm, attentive and caring. She arrived promptly, stuck to the schedule and all of my bridesmaids LOVED her. And they looked absolutely stunning. She was so easy and fun to work with leading up to the wedding day as well.

    I cannot recommend Michele enough. She came highly recommended to me and I am so grateful for that. I hope you have the pleasure of working with her too.

    Just Hire Her! She is the best decision!

    I have worked with Michelle on multiple occasions and cannot recommend her enough. She is genuine, and down to earth, and will nerd out with you on all things Disney, Harry Potter, and the 90s. Her skills with makeup are remarkable! The natural or dramatic glow she gives you (depending on what you would like) is out of this world. Not only does she do it effortlessly, but when it is on your face, it feels like you aren't wearing any makeup at all. I don't know how she does it, but what I do know, is you need to hire her.

    Michelle is your missing wedding day piece!

    I'll start with the reason why you're probably here. Michelle is going to make you and your wedding party look absolutely stunning and flawless on your wedding day. She has now done my makeup for two weddings, and every wedding since I've sorely missed her and her abilities! She understands how to create a natural look, but she is also skilled at vamping up the look if that's what you want, too. I ended both nights with a fresh face that looked incredible even after one wedding took place in 100-degree heat. When it is my turn to get married, Michelle will be my girl!

    I want to note as well that she effortlessly slides into the group setting, brings positive energy, and has fantastic pep talks for each member of your wedding party if needed. When the morning is hectic and the scheduling is paramount, she's going to stay on track while adding to the fun.

    Michelle is a total gem and I cannot recommend her enough!

    Amazing job and so fun to work with!

    Michelle did an amazing job on our makeup! She nailed it at my first trial and really pulled together the look I wanted. My makeup stayed great through the night and we all loved working with her and her assistant! Would highly recommend then for your makeup and hair needs!

    So Amazing and Fun!

    Wow, where do I start with this amazing woman! Michelle is so fun to be around and easy to love. She is funny, patient, down-to-earth, and so willing to go above and beyond to make everything exactly how you want it! She is extremely knowledgable in her field of make-up and also so great at hair! My hair stylist sort of last minute could not make the wedding, so Michelle stepped in and did it all! Also, our ceremony venue changed after booking Michelle, and she had to make do with even less time than anticipated the morning of the wedding to work on my face and hair and help my bridesmaids! She got up earlier than any of us to make it happen. Not to mention, the morning of the wedding while we were just waking up in the airbnb, THE POWER WENT OUT! And this amazing woman started doing make-up by phone flashlight on the bridesmaids (flawlessly may I add) until the power returned! She was the person who stayed with me in the bridal suite to the very end right before I walked down the aisle and continued to be with me throughout the morning for any touch-ups that were needed. I am over the moon about her and highly recommend you booking her! You won't regret it. Much love! ~Karli

    Michelle is wonderful!

    I had a great experience with Michelle and highly recommend her for wedding make up. She includes a dry run as part of your package and that really helped me to feel confident about my look prior to my wedding day. She actually came to my house to do make up for me, my mother and my maid of honor. It was a wonderful experience. If you are hiring someone for your wedding make up, you should definitely use Michelle!

    Ahhhmazing!

    Having been in the cosmetic industry for over 12 years I can be very picky as to who does my makeup. I am SO grateful that Michelle was recommenced to me by a photographer. I cannot rave enough about Michelle, not only is she so fun to talk to, she is also one of the most talented makeup artists I've ever had do my makeup and hair. She truly is next level and I would highly recommended. So much talent! I will definitely be using Michelle for all makeup needs going forward!

    She also suggested a new eyeliner which I bought and LOVE! Thank you Michelle!

    Michelle was so friendly and easy to work with. She has amazing make up skills and made me feel so special as the bride to be. She did a great job with the bridesmaids and my mom (who never wears make up). I highly recommend Michelle for any occasion!

    Wonderful Experience!

    Michelle is everything you want in a makeup artist on your big day! She is fun, professional, and keeps the day light and happy while a million other things are going on. She answers all questions honestly if you are like me and knew nothing about makeup - let alone formal makeup! Excellent services, even gives you an emergency kit!
