the artist and creative behind Melt Makeup

Hi! I'm Emily,

My journey into the hair and makeup industry was a little unexpected, but now that I’m here, I can’t imagine doing anything else. I’ve been so welcomed and fulfilled by this work, and it continues to inspire me.

In addition to bridal work, I’ve had the honor of working on MLB events, fashion catalogs, stage makeup for country artists The Castellows, photoshoots, TV/film, and influencer events. You can also see my bridal work featured in bridal publications, Carats & Cake and Montana Bride(x2).
