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.”
