I feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten to work with Tai for my March 2025 wedding. I had never gotten my makeup professionally done before, and honestly had some nerves going into the process. I knew from pictures that I felt like Tai’s style fit what I was envisioning, and in the first minutes of meeting Tai, I knew I was in good hands. She is such a kind and bubbly person, the trial felt like catching up with an old friend. Seeing myself in the mirror both on the trial and on the wedding day, I felt truly beautiful and confident. I felt like me, but elevated. On top of that, she also helped to cover a scar that I got on my back from an unexpected procedure a month prior to my wedding. I felt so insecure about it, and she was able to cover it with ease. As for the look itself, it lasted all night, through happy tears and a hot dance floor. One of the best wedding vendors out there, would definitely work with her again!!

I am a passionate bridal and special event hair and makeup artist dedicated to making clients feel confident, radiant, and completely themselves on their most unforgettable day. With 8 years of experience in the industry, I specialize in creating timeless, elegant looks tailored to each client’s unique features, style, and vision. I offer a range of hair and makeup styles from natural to full glam, with most clients falling somewhere in between based on their personal preferences!

Abi from Beloved and Radiant Makeup Artistry was truly a gift on my wedding day. She did both my hair and makeup, and I can honestly say I have never felt more beautiful. Abi created a timeless, elegant look that made me feel like the most radiant bride in the world — classic, confident, and completely myself. Beyond her incredible talent, Abi brought a comforting, uplifting presence, and genuine joy into that morning that meant so much to me. My mother had passed away unexpectedly just two months before the wedding, and her absence left a deep ache in my heart. Abi filled that space with so much kindness and genuine care. She made me feel seen, supported, and at peace — as though I had a dear friend by my side. She created a space where I felt safe to be vulnerable and still experienced laughter and peace amid all the emotion. Not only did she make me feel beautiful on the outside, but she also helped me feel radiant within — something I will never forget. I can’t recommend Abi and Beloved and Radiant Makeup Artistry enough. Her talent, kindness, and heartfelt presence made my wedding day truly special.

Let’s chat! I love chatting…it’s totally my favorite! I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

Kristin made my wedding dreams come true! I absolutely loved my hair and makeup; they were perfect and lasted all night long. Despite not having a trial, Kristin nailed the look I wanted just from a few pictures. Working with her from the beginning was stress-free and fun! She helped me choose the perfect package and was always quick to respond. She was worth every penny, and I truly enjoyed every moment working with her. Highly recommend!

I am being 100% honest when I say that I could not imagine my wedding day without Caroline there. She was such a calming and fun presence for all of my girls and myself, and I truly have never felt more beautiful in my life! Prior to my wedding day, I was able to send her photos of my inspiration pictures and chat with her on the phone about all of my desires/fears, wants. She took the time to get to know me outside of just my hair and was such a genuine kind person to talk to! Caroline took her time with each person getting their hair done and it SHOWED. She was intentional to get to know each of my bridesmaids, myself, and my mother while making us all feel like queens. Coming from a gal who had a pretty rough experience with a former hairstylist years ago, I would trust Caroline with my LIFE. I cannot advocate for her services enough! If you are still looking for a hairstylist for your special day, you’ve found your gal! I promise you, you will have no regrets.

I had girls who like heavy makeup, girls who like minimal, and everything in between. She accommodated everyone’s needs and my friends have never looked more beautiful! As for my makeup, my skin has never looked so flawless! All night everyone commented on my makeup, saying it was pristine. It lasted all through the night. Photos, dinner, and TONS of dancing, everything stayed perfectly. She even gave us little touch up kits and straws so we wouldn’t mess up our lips.

I’m Jasmine, A Richmond, Virginia based makeup artist dedicated to enhancing the natural beauty of those I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and those I’ve yet to meet. What began as a love for makeup through creativity and self-expression has grown into a meaningful career centered around connection and helping others feel like the best versions of themselves.

I had the pleasure of having Jasmine do my bridal makeup and the makeup for my bridal party. Immediately from our consultation and trial at Melt, Jasmine was welcoming and calm, yet also driven and confident in her skills. She took the time to know what exactly I was and was not looking for. She took note of things I was particular about (filling in my eyebrows) and ensured they were exactly how I wanted before moving on. She even fielded my never ending questions about skin care since she is so knowledgeable! On my wedding day, Jasmine was promptly on time and a calm presence that helped keep me at ease. Jasmine was happy to make any changes throughout the makeup application process with no issue (I was difficult and changed my lip color 3 times). My entire bridal party still continues to rave about Jasmine’s work and claim it was the best professional makeup they’ve had. We all felt like enhanced versions of ourselves—it was exactly what we were looking for. The small kit of to-go and touch up items that Jasmine provided each of us ensured our makeup looked perfect the entire night. I would highly recommend Jasmine for any and all bridal/formal makeup services! Melt is lucky to have her.

I had such a great time the morning of my wedding and these women were a big part of that!
