Melissa is absolutely amazing at what she does. From the moment I lked in, she made me feel so rm and welcomed — like I s catching up with an old friend. Her precision and attention to detail are incredible, and my permanent makeup brows turned out perfectly! She took the time to make sure everything s symmetrical and suited my face shape, and explained every step so I felt completely comfortable.
If you’re considering getting your brows done, I highly recommend Melissa. She’s professional, talented, and genuinely cares about her clients. I’m beyond thrilled with my results! Thank you Melissa 💕
Would highly recommend for make-up lessons! ☺️
I booked a makeup lesson to refine my technique 💄 and a makeup declutter session to become a more savvy spender 💸 and it s such a great experience. Everything felt thoughtful, practical, and completely tailored to me ☺️
Melissa took extra time to help me understand what products best match my olive skin tone (which a lot of makeup artists struggle with) and what makeup suits my features exactly - can highly recommend her if you’re looking to improve your makeup skills. :) I also got tailored notes after my session with what I learnt!
Absolutely incredible experience!
I used Melissa for my matric dance and couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist. From the moment she arrived at my house, she made me feel completely comfortable and confident. She took the time at my trial to understand exactly what look I nted and absolutely nailed it. My makeup s flawless, lasted the entire night, and photographed beautifully.
Her attention to detail, calm energy, and genuine passion for her work made the whole experience unforgettable. I got so many compliments, and I honestly felt like the best version of myself. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for professional, stunning, and long-lasting makeup.
Thank you for making my matric dance extra special! 💄✨

Melissa s amazing. Having never used makeup before, I s terrified of getting it wrong. She taught me how to apply makeup that s not too heavy but still covered up my dark marks. Everyone commented on how lovely it looked when I reached home. Thank you Melissa for your expertise and guidance.
