Makeup & Hair Artist
Meet Melissa - best version of yourself beauty.
A calm, friendly, down-to-earth, South African who loves giving brides the calm, luxurious wedding morning they deserve while making them look like their most elevated selves in a natural way.
A journalist come bridal specialist who loves transform women into their most beautiful, confident selves with the power of great hair and makeup.
“My brides often love that I bring good energy and calmness to their day. Plus the soft and natural looks I create make them look and feel their best ever. “
After going to uni to study journalism, I wanted to do something more creative and since I always loved beauty I decided to go to makeup school (mostly just for fun) but one thing lead to another and here I am 15 years later lucky to have found my calling as a full-time bridal hair and makeup artist! I absolutely love what I do and love being able to transform women into their most beautiful, confident selves with the power of good hair and makeup, especially on the biggest day of their life!
My Signature Bridal Vibe Think skin- like
My signature vibe is skin-like foundation and makeup that feels light as air yet lasts all day. Known for soft waves and modern clean textured updos. Achieving lasting volume and curls in hair that usually struggles to hold styles.
THE DETAILS
I'M LOVING
Bouncy blow-drys. Miley Cyrus in her Something Beautiful era Elemis facials. The Office re-runs. Making yummy things in my kitchen and dreaming of living by the sea.
I’M LEARNING
How to build a new website on a different platform (again!) and learning Greek (sometimes I dunno which is harder LOL). Updating my makeup techniques at some amazing masterclasses.
I’M NOT ABOUT
Brides basing their wedding look on other people’s opinions and not what they truly want or feel good in! Also, overly-plucked or untidy brows (a groomed brow frames the face!)
