    Fantastic, talented makeup artist!

    Marlo was absolutely amazing and I'm so glad she was my wedding makeup artist! She came recommended by my wedding planner and did makeup for me and 7 people in the wedding party. We had a wide range of styles and ages in the group and Marlo did such a wonderful job of working with everyone. I felt amazing in my makeup and COULD NOT believe how well it held up at the end of the night!! During the trial Marlo was super patient and we tried out a couple different options for lip color, etc. I would highly recommend Makeup by Marlo to anyone looking for a top-notch wedding makeup artist!

    Marlo is amazing!

    There are not enough words I could say to describe how wonderful the experience that I had with Marlo was for my wedding! From someone who doesn’t wear much make up, at all, Marlo made me feel both comfortable and beautiful even while battling some hormonal acne the day of my wedding! She is so genuinely kind and excited for the day. I could not have asked for a better human or more talented make up artist to be a part of such a big day in my life. One of my bridesmaids said this was the best make up she had ever had done as well! She was loved by everyone! Also- my make up TRULY lasted through the end of the night, check out the photo below on the bus home!

    Marlo and her team are the best!

    We absolutely LOVED working with Marlo and her team! Everyone looked absolutely stunning and we had so much fun ... I would HIGHLY recommend working with her! All of the bridesmaids and moms were thrilled with how they looked!

    Wonderful make-up

    Marlo made the whole wedding party look amazing! As the bride I felt like she highlighted my best features while still keeping a natural look. I highly recommend her, she’s a pleasure to work with!

    The most stunning bridesmaids & moms

    I HIGHLY recommend booking with Makeup by Marlo. All of my bridesmaids and the mother of the bride and groom were RAVING about their makeup done by Marlo. She was fantastic and is genuinely THE nicest person. She added the best vibes to our day of getting ready, in addition to making everyone look absolutely stunning.

    I actually had Marlo do my make-up for a boudoir shoot a few months prior to my wedding and thought she was SO talented and sweet that we hired her for our wedding day. My mom was so nervous to get her make-up done so we ended up booking a trial with Marlo a month before the wedding to make sure she wanted to get her make-up done. She was THRILLED with how it came out and felt so beautiful on my wedding day. Thank you, Marlo! You're the best (:

    Talented Makeup Artist and Hair Stylist!

    I discovered Makeup by Marlo at a preferred vendor event at our wedding venue. I met Marlo, the makeup artist, and Meghan, the hair stylist, and instantly was drawn to their kind personalities. I hired them for my original wedding date in January 2021, but with concerns over the pandemic, we opted to move our wedding up to October 2020 in order to have a safer and smaller event outdoors. Marlo and Meghan were flexible and happy to accommodate our new date on very short notice.

    On the day of our event, Marlo and Meghan adhered to all state mandated guidelines, with masks and sanitizers, to make sure everything was clean and safe. We felt very comfortable with their clear protocols, which they shared with us ahead of the event.

    Their work, both in hair and makeup, was beyond stunning. They did the hair and makeup for eight women and they were well-organized and timely; they finished right on schedule.

    Meghan was able to look at an inspiration photo one time and recreate the look flawlessly. She did braids for my nieces, up-dos with accessories, blow-outs, and more. She executed each style perfectly; it was extremely impressive.

    Marlo is a true makeup artist. Many of the women, myself included, do not wear a lot of makeup, so we fully trusted Marlo to create the perfect look. The makeup she used was lightweight and safe for sensitive skin. AND THE LASHES...WOW! Most importantly, it was all waterproof; I cried a lot of happy tears that day and can attest to the quality. I wish I could have her do my makeup daily; she's a magician.

    I really can't recommend these women enough. We all felt incredibly beautiful because of their work. I look forward to the next time I need fancy hair and makeup just so I can book with them again!

    Makeup by marlo is incredible!

    Marlo (makeup artist) and Meghan (hair stylist) are incredibly talented and I wish I could book them for every single special occasion. They did my hair & make up both for my wedding in May 2021 and when I was a bridesmaid in September 2018, and the results both times were JAW DROPPING. In addition to being rockstars at their craft, they are both so wonderful to work with. Marlo kept me at ease as a bride and had all the answers to my questions. Look no further with this dynamic duo - they are the best!

    Would use again and again!

    Marlo was an absolute joy to work with! She was very flexible and so sweet and understanding during the crazy planning process. She did an amazing job on my entire wedding party! I have received SO many complements on my makeup! It photographed beautifully and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day!

    The most beautiful i've ever felt!

    Marlo is a miracle worker!!! Not only did she make myself feel so beautiful, she met the needs of my large (13 people!) wedding party. I normally like to keep my makeup natural day to day. When I met Marlo for our trial not only did I feel like I was sitting with an old friend, she made me feel like I was in great hands. She listened to every detail I mentioned and really aimed to make my makeup all I wanted it to be and more. I have never felt more beautiful and comfortable in my life! I wore glue on lashes and they had to be pried off my eyes almost 14 hours later at the end of the long day. My makeup had not smudged in the rain or tears, did not wear, and looked fresh the entire day through. I love that not only did Marlo listen to my wants, she also gave professional suggestions that incorporated so much to my look. Addie and her second artist (Nicole) arrived ahead of schedule and stayed later than anticipated to help with some last minute appointments and touch ups. I have already recommended Marlo to many of my bride friends and look forward to continuing to do so in the future! Thank you so much Makeup by Marlo for making me feel so beautiful on my big day.

    The Most Beautiful I've Ever Been

    I knew I wanted Marlo to do my makeup from the second I got engaged. I’ve been in many weddings and one of my best friends used her-- I’ve never felt prettier so I reached out immediately. Marlo was responsive and always communicated, effectively and efficiently. She had no problem traveling to Rhode Island and starting at 8 AM. She did 8 bridesmaids and my mom in 5 hours (with no issues)! Marlo is very calming and relaxing, and on a day with high anxiety, that is SO important. All of my bridesmaid said they have never felt prettier and everyone was thrilled with how they looked. She uses airbrush and lashes. Not one person looked like they had too much makeup on. Marlo highlighted my features perfectly and gave a natural look with some glam. She can do anything you want – she’s so talented. She took pictures of me during my trial and used that for reference. Six months before my wedding, I sent her an email asking how to improve my skin and recommended face products. She wrote me a lengthy email explaining tips, tricks, suggestions and best products. It was SO sweet and she didn’t have to do that! She truly cares about making you the most beautiful on your day and it is deeply appreciated. I would use Marlo 100X over again! I recommend Marlo to all my friends and telling them what a great job she did!

    Makeup Queen

    Marlo did my makeup for our engagement photo shoot and for our wedding, and I couldn't have been happier. I wanted to look natural in the engagement photos and a little more dramatic for the wedding. Both looks were absolutely perfect! Marlo is so sweet, personable and talented. She uses all high quality products and works very efficiently. I love Marlo and HIGHLY recommend her services!

    Working with Marlo and Meghan was a wonderful experience. I had two hair and makeup trials with them and booked them for my wedding. They are both extremely talented and such a pleasure to be around. 12 of us had our hair and makeup done by their team of 4 people and all the hair and makeup came out wonderfully. Meghan and Marlo added a special touch to my wedding day as they put us all at ease when gettting ready and the finished product was perfect. I highly recommend them for your event! Very impressed!

    Marlo is THE BEST!!! She is so incredibly talented and one of the sweetest people you will ever meet. I was so lucky she was available for my wedding. We had a trial a few months before, which was super helpful, and my makeup turned out amazing! She is very good at listening, getting a feel for your style/vision, and bringing it to life. On the day of my wedding, Marlo was on time, very professional and enthusiastic, and did a FANTASTIC job on myself and all the girls! I highly recommend her for your next event!!!

    I got married at Willowdale Estate earlier this year, and cannot thank Marlo and Meghan enough for making our day perfect!

    I had a hair and makeup trial about a month before at a salon, and once we'd finalized the look they took great photos for us to reference. Before the wedding, Marlo sent really helpful tips, and stayed in touch with me the whole time.

    I can't imagine working with anyone better on the day of. Marlo and Meghan fit in with the bridal party seamlessly, and helped in every way possible. They are true experts in their fields and knew how to make us look amazing AND laugh - what more could a bride ask for? Marlo made our makeup look flawless, and Meghan was kind enough to stay through the ceremony to allow me to put my hair up (how I feel most comfortable).

    Thank you SO much, Marlo and Meghan! You added so much to our day!

    Marlo is amazing!!!! The best decision I made for my wedding. My sister used her for her wedding in 2014 and we both agreed we've never looked better, and I was so excited when I got engaged and Marlo was free for my wedding too. She is so sweet and calm and her personality is perfect to calm wedding day jitters. I LOVED how I looked and loved how my bridesmaids looked too. She brought out the best in everyone! Love love love Marlo. She is so talented!!!!

    Marlo was an absolute miracle on my wedding day. She came to my parents' house and got 10 women, including myself, done with makeup in under 5 hours. We were done so early with hair and makeup that we literally just got to relax for an hour at home.

    My cousin recommended Marlo to me and I am SO glad that she did. Marlo will now be our go-to girl for skincare and makeup. Every one of us were so happy with how our makeup came out that day that everyone was smiling and glowing all day/night long. Marlo included airbrushing and false eyelashes as a part of her fee which is unheard of! She really wants to make her clients look gorgeous and knows that something like airbrushing is going to do that.

    My makeup as the bride felt light and never faded or got shiny at all, even through a long night of dancing in the Summer heat! My false eyelashes also were the lightest that I had ever worn - Marlo's application of them was perfect and unlike other times, I had no idea they were even on.

    BOOK WITH MARLO ASAP for your wedding - she is honestly THE best in the business!!

    I found Marlo when I attended a friend's wedding and was completely blown away by how beautiful the bridesmaids, MOB, and bride looked. All of the ladies looked so natural, but the absolute best version of themselves. In that moment, I knew I needed to have Marlo as part of our special day.

    From my initial contact with Marlo to the trial to the wedding day, Marlo was quite possibly the sweetest person I have ever met. Her talent is second only to her especially warm and kind personality - she will make you feel so comfortable and relaxed - you're in the very best of hands!

    Her expertise in makeup and esthetics starts well before the big day - she guides you through the trial to choose the best colors and options as well as skincare tips and thoughtful tips to get ready for the big day (e.g., what to wear, what to bring, remember to eat!, remember to make a playlist!).

    The work Marlo did made every bridesmaid and family member feel like the best version of themselves - comfortable and beautiful. On top of this, she was such a joy to have as part of our day. She was kind, friendly, and calm - the perfect addition to the perfect day; we loved spending time with her!

    Marlo did my makeup for our engagement photo shoot and for our wedding, and I couldn't have been happier with the end results. I'm a mascara/lip gloss only lady, so I wanted to look natural in our engagement photos and a little more dramatic for the wedding. Both looks were absolutely perfect! My bridal party couldn't stop gushing over how great their eyebrows looked, and Marlo even touched up a mark on my dad's eye! Her work is beautiful and the products she uses were gentle on my (super sensitive) skin. Plus, she's lovely and kind :)

    Marlo is really fantastic at what she does, my wedding makeup was absolutely stunning! I ended up doing something different on the day of my wedding from what I had initially done at my trial and she listened to the changes I wanted to make and executed them exactly the way that I pictured. She uses all high quality products and works very efficiently. All of my bridesmaids, my mother, mother-in-law and grandma all loved their makeup done by Marlo and Andrea. Not only is she the best- she is also super sweet! She makes you feel really comfortable and not afraid to ask for what you want. I truly felt like a princess and I can't thank Marlo and team for making me look so pretty on my special day!

    Marlo is professional, friendly, and extremely good at what she does. She listened to me when I told her what I wanted for my overall look on my wedding- she was able to take my ideas and transform them into something cohesive and beautiful! Obviously, every bride gets showered with compliments on her wedding day, but ive received compliments on Marlo's makeup ever since! Brides have specifically asked me for her contact information when they get engaged- and if they don't, she is the FIRST vendor I recommend to them. My bridesmaids and mother were all equally thrilled with their look- each have different skin tones, hair color, and styles- and Marlo gave them all their own beautiful, flawless, unique look. I can't say enough GOOD about Marlo- you will not regret having her expertise available for your wedding!

    Marlo is best in class! She did my makeup for the first time for my friends wedding and then I was hooked. She then did my engagement shoot makeup, wedding trial and wedding day. She has been the best to work with, no issues whatsoever. She's personable, polite and SO attentive. Not to mention talented! She did an amazing job and I'm so thrilled with my professional photos thanks to her. My bridal party also LOVED her and I have friends reaching out to book with her :) I couldn't have imagined working with anyone else for out big day. THANK YOU MARLO!

    My wedding day was interesting...i had just gotten out of the hospital after having been in there for a week. I had just given birth and was not feeling my best. Marlo made me feel human again. She made me look like myself only better. I didnt give her much to work with but felt amazing when she was done. She is also seriously friendly and professional. I could say it a million times, Marlo was amazing. She made me feel amazing.
