Made me feel like a bride

Molly was such a dream to work with. She was so kind and patient with all of my bridesmaids and made them look incredible. I have never felt or looked as beautiful as she made me look for my wedding. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone getting married!
Tai was wonderful!!

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!!

Meg from Captivating Complexion was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding! From our very first interaction, her communication was fast, clear, and consistently helpful. Meg, our makeup artist, has a wonderful calming presence and made all of us feel so comfortable and beautiful. She was detail-oriented, adaptable, and truly delivered flawless makeup that lasted through tears, heat, sweat, kissing, smiling, and hours of dancing with only minimal touchups needed. Captivating Complexion's work was worth every penny - they truly helped make our special day perfect.
