Favourite product

One of my favourite products is my Bobbi Brown Vitamin Enriched face base. It’s a number one best seller for a reason! This gorgeous high-end moisturiser/ primer works on all skin types and plumps and hydrates the skin. It smells great too, so it’s always a hit with my brides.

“Melissa has been absolutely amazing in creating exactly what I wanted for my bridal look. Melissa offered a number of packages which was perfect for my bridesmaids and I. She has been so friendly, making everyone feel at ease and helpful and my makeup was simply perfect. I didn't want it to look cakey but more natural with a bit of glam and a pop of colour on the lip which was exactly what I got. I would 100% recommend Makeup by Melissa Kay to anyone! Thank you again.”

“From booking to wedding day and even beyond Melissa was responsive, kind and professional. She put me at ease on the morning and as had a Christmas wedding Melissa went with the vision and adapted the colours according to my flowers and colour schemes.”
