Melissa is in store all week with her beautiful table display and portfolio! Come in and see her work!
"I became an Esthetician in 2001 and got my first job at a spa in Santa Monica and have been working in skin care and makeup ever since. I began to focus more on makeup in 2003 and I started working at MAC Cosmetics to gain experience with many different people, skin colors, and eye shapes.
While working at MAC, I made my move to San Diego and fell in love with doing wedding makeup. I was able to build up a business which has become more and more succesful every year thanks to my wonderful clients.
I have been featured in Exquisite Weddings magazine, The Knot magazine, and have been able to work with some truly talented photographers and designers such as Aaron Feldman, Tande DiLanatta, Jorge Salas, Melisa Cogdell, Honey Stetson, Justine M Couture, and Katharine Story to name just a few.
I have the huge honor this year of being the only beauty vendor on The Knot's best of weddings list for San Diego. I also placed 2nd in the 10 News.com A-list for best makeup in San Diego for 2008 and 2009 as well as the Bridal Insider's Peoples Choice awards for 2009 and 2010. Thank you for being a valuable part of my business and I am looking forward to meeting you soon!"
