REVIEWS

MG Beauty provided my makeup for my wedding. She was professional and personable. I loved having the consultation so there were no surprises on the big day. I had a very small wedding party (me and my maid of honor) and our make up was flawless. The best thing was even afer the hugs and kisses from the receiving line, my make up was still fresh!! And my husband loved how natural I looked. Thanks MG Beauty!!

MG Beauty is absolutely fantastic! I decided to have Ms. Green (make up artist) perform her artistry on all of the ladies in my bridal party. Ms. Green set up several consultations to go over the particular looks I wanted to have. I asked her to give my bridal party a natural, yet glamorous look for everyone. On my wedding day every lady looked beautiful!
As for my look…Well, what can I say–I looked simply stunning on my wedding day! MG Beauty is definitely a business that I want to use again in the future. The company is professional, very responsive to the customer’s needs, and was worth every bit of what I paid!!! I highly recommend MG Beauty!

Mindy was excellent to work with. From the start she listened carefully to the colors I wanted for my big day and arrived promptly, ready to work during the trial. We only needed one trial with my inspiration photos which she put her own spin on and I was blown away.
On wedding day she worked great with my family in the way, the photographer and kept me calm to do my makeup and make me look glamorous and beautiful for my new husband.

I totally recommend Mindy to anyone needing to look glamourous and would love to use her when I do my boudoir photos as a gift to my new husband!

Mindy was great! She was prompt, professional and extremely meticulous about her work. I would HIGHLY recommend her and I received so many compliments on my make up – both for the trial and the wedding.

Mindy exceeded not only my expections, but also my mother, mother-in-law, bridesmaids and all our guests. She enhanced all of our natural features that left our guests in aww;-) She was extremely timely by arriving 1 day in advance to my wedding destination. She also arrived 1.5 hours in advance to prepare for the first bridesmaid on the schedule we created together. MG Beauty also allowed payment installments that worked with my budget. She answered emails and calls within 48 hours which was important to me given that I was planning a wedding from another state from which I reside and she works out of. Mindy was dressed professionally and kept the bridal party calm with her soothing attitude. She was positive and encouraging throughout our conversations and worked in a trial make-up session while I was visiting her area. I highly recommend MG Beauty with doubts our reservations!! I also look forward to planning another event where I can utilize her talents;-)

Mindy was great to work with and did an exceptional job on me and my bridesmaids. I have, and will in the future, recommend her to my friends and colleagues. I also plan to use her services in the future.

I was tremendously pleased with Ms. Green and the service I received. She was very professional, always prompt, and captured well the wedding look I was seeking. I would love to work with her again if I am ever in need of a makeup artist!

I hate wearing makeup, my usual skin care routine is soap and moisturizer, and my idea of “doing my hair” involves pulling it back in a pony tail. I’m also very pale with freckles and some wrinkles, plus my hair is baby-fine and hard to work with. So I knew I needed to find someone special who could make me look great without making me feel like I had fallen into a vat at the Lancombe factory or had been attacked by an Aqua Net addict. I’m so glad I booked Mindy of MG Beauty, she not only met the challenge, she exceeded my expectations! From the moment she arrived (on time!) at my house for the trial I was impressed by her professional demeanor. All of her supplies were clean and neat, she set up a very tidy workspace, and when she was done she cleaned up the space and thoroughly cleaned her brushes before putting them away. Instead of big bottles of stuff that get gunky with use, she used new products and sample sizes of the top-of-the line cosmetics like Bobbi Brown. This was a big deal for me, as it always kind of grossed me out to think of having stuff put on my face that might have other people’s germs in it. Since I had told her I was particularly concerned about finding a style that would work with my fine hair without using a lot of product, she enlisted the help of her associate, Kishia, to focus on my hair while she did the makeup. I loved the look Mindy designed for me right from the get-go, and fortunately both she and Kishia were very patient as we tried many different looks with my hair until we hit on “the one.” On the wedding day they arrived at our hotel ahead of schedule, and not only did they do a great job with both my sister and myself, they were also good company. While I never felt like I was wearing a lot of makeup, it withstood my crying throughout the entire ceremony! I was so busy and enjoying myself so much at the reception that I never once thought to go check my makeup or hair and touch it up, but it still looked good at the end of the day. The bottom line is, I felt SO beautiful on my wedding day, and never felt self-conscious that I was all dolled up. I got so many compliments that day, and continue to get compliments about how I look in the photos, ranging from “beautiful” to “stunning.” I’ve never been called stunning before! I’m sure that makeup artists must get tired of hearing the phrase “I want to look like me, only better,” but MG Beauty truly made it happen for me!

For my wedding she was on POINT. I had a Sunrise ceremony and the sun rose at approximately 6:15 am. At 5am she was with me at the venue, wide awake and geting me ready for my big day. The wedding was on time! I cannot think of too many make up artists who would be ready and willing to do a Sunrise ceremony but she was and she was WONDERFUL. Mindy has done my makeup and even my hair for many other events. Whether I was a Bridesmaid in a wedding, going to my high school reunion or taking family photos, she has always done a fabalous job.
