Blush by M. Marie

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.

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…. Read more

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!

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… Read more

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!

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… Read more

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… Read more

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… Read more

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… Read more

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 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!

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!
