  • I cannot recommend Mercedes enough! Like many brides, I was very nervous to get my makeup done because I wanted to feel and look like myself. Mercedes was incredibly kind, organized and professional throughout my entire experience with her. She eased my anxiety prior to my trial and wedding. The makeup lasted and stayed perfect for 12+ hours for myself and bridal party. Her instagram is a great representation of her work. If you have a Mother of the Bride and/or Mother of the Groom getting their makeup done and they are concerned, you can reassure them that Mercedes can work with any skin type at any age. She was a great addition to getting ready in the Bridal Suite because she brings a calming and kind energy. I am so thankful for her.

  • I can't recommend Mercedes enough! She did an absolutely fantastic job with my wedding makeup and my bridal parties' makeup. Her expertise was evident in every detail, and she made everyone look flawless. She listened to what people wanted and did exactly that. Beyond her incredible skills, she was bubbly, warm, and a delight to be around, adding to the joy of the day. Her positive energy and talent truly made us all feel and look our best. Thank you for making our special day even more perfect! Highly recommend!

  • The adventure in finding someone to do your bridal make up can truly be tough but as soon as I saw Mercedes instagram I knew I had to have her!! Having someone else do your make up especially for your WEDDING day can be daunting but from day one Mercedes made me feel so comfortable, and made me feel absolutely BEAUTIFUL. From the trial run, to the actual wedding day she was so supportive and her talent for makeup seriously shows. I wanted a very natural but elevated look, and wanted to still feel like myself and Mercedes was able to do just that. Not only is she absolutely amazing at what she does, she also provided all of the vibes the morning of the wedding! Thank you Mercedes for not only making myself, my bridesmaid and mom feel stunning the morning of but also being the one person to remember that we need MUSIC and providing the best playlist as well <3 Mercedes is truly incredible, a sweet and talented soul, and I cannot express my gratitude enough for her! Highly recommend.
