Hello! My name is Melissa and I have been a licensed esthetician and apart of the beauty industry for the last 20+ years in the Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Diego areas. I am a mom to my two little kids a girl and a boy, as well as my tiny yorkie named Coral.

 

I absolutely love to do makeup, and I especially love weddings! Helping a bride look and feel like the most beautiful version of herself, for one of the most important days of her life, is such a pleasure. I have specialized in wedding makeup for the majority of my career, and prefer airbrush as my mainstay for flawless skin and long wearability.

 

I have won many awards, including the prestigious "The Knot Best of Weddings Award" 5 years in a row, as well as being inducted into their Hall of Fame. I have been published multiple times in print, my work has been on the covers of various magazines, as well as online for websites such as Style Me Pretty, Green Wedding Shoes, The Knot, San Diego Magazine, Exquisite Weddings, Pacific Magazine and many others. I have also had the pleasure of working with various celebrity clients for their special events.

 

I would love to work with you on your special day, or on your next corporate event or photo shoot!

 

I will look forward to meeting you soon!

Melissa Rae
