Meet Melissa

Owner/Artist of Melissa Ann Makeup Artistry

I have been a professional makeup artist for over 20 years now and I am so thankful to have a career that I love so dearly.  It is not just the artistic aspect of the job that I love, it’s my clients.  

When I can transform how someone sees themselves and make them feel beautiful...  That is what this career is all about.  Showing people, the beauty that lies within each one of them.

​

I grew up in what used to be a small town, Waukesha Wisconsin. As soon as I graduated, I enrolled in College as a Business Major. I learned early that I had a natural talent in makeup artistry. I began my beauty career as a makeup consultant for Clinique Cosmetics fall of 1997. From there I continued my artistry work not only as a makeup artist but also as a featured artist for other leading cosmetics brands such as: Lancôme, Clarins, Estee Lauder, M.A.C., and Bobbie Brown Cosmetics. I have had special training with Airbrushing and special effects and photography.
 

My career has brought me many places and given me the opportunity to work with so many amazing people. I’m very thankful to be able to work in a career that I can always be inspired, meet new people and I am free to be creative, while helping enhance people’s beauty! I am constantly updating and adding to my extensive makeup collection for your bridal or special event makeup needs.
