Melissa Eadie, founder and lead artist of MBMA,
Is A Professionally Trained Makeup Artist, Having Earned Her Education At The Cinema Makeup School In Los Angeles, Ca. At School She Was Not Only Educated On Long Lasting Makeup Application And Hygienic Procedures, But She Gained An Incredible Understanding Of Lighting Both In Photos And In Video, And She Will Ensure You Look As Amazing In Photos As You Will In Person! Believe It Or Not, But Makeup On Your Wedding Day Has To Be Enhanced In Order For You To Not Look Washed Out In Photos! But This Does Not Mean It Has To Be Caked On Or That You Will Look Like A Totally Different Person!
On A Deeper Level, Melissa Is A 2x Cancer Survivor And Knows The Power Makeup Can Have When Being Faced With A Plethora Of Insecurities. She Is A Firm Believer That Makeup Has An Incredible Power To Provide Confidence Without Entirely Altering The Canvas.
"I Want My Clients To Leave My Chair Seeing Their Best Self In The Mirror And Walking Away With A Confidence They Haven't Experienced Before. Because At The End Of The Day, Isn't That What Makeup Is For? It's Not To Be The Show Stopper, But The Confidence Builder!"
Melissa Is Passionate About Makeup Artistry And Understanding The Ins And Outs Of The Industry, But She Is Also Passionate About Women Feeling Empowered And Bold In Who They Are! She Hopes That While Providing A Service, She Can Also Help Educate Women With Her Expertise In Makeup.

We Specialize In Soft Glam, However Each Of Our Artists Pry Themselves On The Ability To Communicate And Listen So That We Can Create Your Dream Bridal Makeup! We Will Create A Look That Not Only Accentuates Your Best Features But Leaves You Feeling Your Absolute Best! We Have Heard So Many Horror Stories About A Bride Who Didn't Get The Look They Wanted Because They Felt The Makeup Artist Pushed Their Own Opinions On Them, But You Can Rest Assured With Mbma, Your Artist Will Give Their Professional Opinion But Never Make A Decision For You!
We Have Also Heard Horror Stories From Bridesmaids Where The Makeup Artist Working Their Friend's Wedding Didn't Acknowledge The Reference Photo The Bridesmaid Had Shown Because The Artist Took It Upon Themselves To Do A Look They Wanted To Do To Quickly Get Through It, And The Makeup Didn't Even Last. This Left The Client Feeling Like Just Another Paycheck And Not Someone Who Was Being Serviced. But Even More Shockingly, I Have Heard Several Awful Stories That A Bridesmaid Didn't Get Their Makeup Done Because The Artist Fell Behind And They Were Last On The Timeline. The Artist Had Raved About How They Could Do The Makeup In Just 30 Minutes, But A Lot Of Issues Can Stem From Working With Such Little Time. We Want Everyone To Have A Luxurious Experience, So Bridesmaids Have An Hour Time Slot And Will Have A Full Skin Prep, All Luxury Products And A Touch Bag To Ensure They Are Fully Taken Care Of.
