Melissa Barra Makeup 1006 Charles Street, North Providence, RI 02904

"Melissa is the best! From the get-go, Melissa knew the soft glam vision I was going for. I have always been hesitant about airbrush makeup and how it can look cakey, but Melissa reassured me during my makeup trial that the oil-based airbrush is the way to go. I had my trial 3 months prior to my makeup and loved how it looked so natural. I only had a few minor tweaks from the trial to change for the wedding. Melissa took photos of the makeup look from the trial and used those photos as the basis for the wedding makeup look with my small changes. She also provided makeup services for my 4 girls, my mom, and my mother-in-law. Each one of them loved their makeup look and said it fit their style. We all looked so beautiful and the makeup lasted throughout the night. Highly recommend Melissa!"

"I absolutely loved having Melissa do makeup for me and my bridal party on my big day! She helped me get the natural glowy look I always dreamed of. She shared the products she used & I added some of the items to my own make up collection between my trial and the wedding. Melissa listened to what everyone wanted, and delivered beautiful looks! She was amazing to work with & I would definitely recommend for any wedding or event!"

"Melissa was great to work with. Responsive and timely. I never wear makeup and skipped out on doing a trial. On the day of my wedding, it came out perfect. Not overdone, classic, and held up all day long even through all the emotional tears during the day. thank you Melissa"

"Melissa was amazing to work with. From the start, she was professional, responsive and friendly. I loved sitting in her studio getting my bridal trial done. I felt sophisticated and glamorous after. The morning or my wedding she and Lexie were organized and kind to me and all of my girls getting our makeup done. They made sure everyone felt good with the final product, provided touch ups later, and nice conversation. We were all thrilled and I felt beautiful on the biggest day of my life. Thank you so much Melissa and team!"

"Melissa did makeup for myself, my bridesmaids, and my sisters for my October 2018 wedding. I had done a trial with another artist that did not go well and was panicking not having secured someone with my wedding just a few weeks away. Then I saw Melissa had a last-minute cancellation for my wedding date and did a trial that weekend. She gave me EXACTLY the look I wanted (I wanted to look made-up but not overdone). Melissa has such extensive experience with weddings that she always keeps in mind how the makeup will photograph, and it photographed so well. Her rates were very reasonable, she made the trip from RI to NH for the wedding and was exactly on time. She is so friendly and fun but still professional- we had a great time with her the day-of. Melissa saved the day for me and I highly recommend her!"
