My Wedding 2025

I contacted Mel at Blush for my wedding make up and I was so impressed with how quickly she sorted out a trial for me. She listened to what I wanted and was more than happy to adjust accordingly until I was completely satisfied! 😊
I loved the way the make up was very natural looking but still enough to enhance appropriately. I was very nervous on the day but she was so good at putting me at ease & her friendly and helpful attitude was second to none!
I think the pricing was reasonable when compared to others and I do think that how a make up
artist makes you feel is also as important as how good the final make up looks and Mel delivered on all levels.
She also very kindly gave me the details on an incredible hair dresser Hannah who did the best job on my hair and was equally as friendly!
I still use Mel now for other beauty treatments and Hannah for my hair so that is testament to their talents ☺️

Thanks so much for helping to make my special
day so perfect

Truly incredible wedding make up!

Melanie was absolutely amazing from day one. I am not someone who is super comfortable with makeup and glam but Melanie put me so at ease during the trial and the same was true of the wedding day as well. It was so lovely to have such a relaxed wedding morning and I truly felt amazing which is not something I feel very often. Melanie checked in on me in the weeks leading up to the big day and was nothing but supportive. Melanie also did my Mum’s make up for the day and she felt amazing! Whole heartedly recommend Melanie to anyone for a truly amazing experience and look - the nicest person and most talented MUA!

Wedding make-up

I couldn’t have been more delighted with my make-up on my wedding day. Mel made me feel and look like a million dollars! I’m not a confident person so this was huge for me. I also don’t usually wear a lot of make-up so I was a bit worried about having make-up done professionally, that it might feel too much, but it wasn’t at all, Mel managed to make me look natural and glam at the same time. Mel is not only the most wonderful make -up artist, she’s also just the most lovely, genuine and funny person. I was really nervous before my wedding and she helped put me at ease. An absolute privilege to have my make-up done by her.

Wedding MUA Melanie - the best!

Melanie made me, my mum and all 4 bridesmaids feel confident and beautiful on my wedding day! She is the calm presence you need around on such a busy morning. Her experience is evident and her kit is extensive - all of us have different skin tones and types, yet we all felt glam and glowing. I wanted to feel like the best version on myself and Mel knew exactly how to make that happen effortlessly. Couldn't have asked for anything more, after my bridal make up trial she sent me advice for a pre wedding skin glow up which made such a difference in how I felt and looked. Nothing was too much trouble, she even helped me get into my dress! My make up lasted until I took it off the next morning...!

Absolutely incredible!

From the first time I met Melanie I felt so comfortable and she made me feel so special from the off. As someone who doesn’t really wear makeup and has no idea what they are doing when it comes to skincare, I was a bit worried about how I would like on the wedding day but Melanie put me at ease instantly! She was amazing at every step - from the makeup trial to the pre-wedding facials and finally the wedding morning. I didn’t need to worry about a thing on the day and everyone looked absolutely gorgeous and for one I actually felt beautiful (which is massively down to Melanie). I cannot recommend Melanie and the team at Blush more highly and I will definitely be finding every excuse for a facial now!

Absolutely fantastic

Melanie did my bridal make up, my mum and maid of honour. Melanie was so easy to communicate with, she listened to everything we discussed and we were all delighted with our make up!

On the day Melanie was so chilled and reassuring, put us all at ease and made sure everything was perfect. I would highly recommend her!! Thanks so much Melanie 🤍

Everything you need on your wedding day

I cannot recommend Blush Bude highly enough! I was anxious having been let down twice by a different makeup artist prior to my wedding. From the first email, Melanie put me at ease. Booking a call and answering all my questions.
On the day, she went above and beyond, helping with all the details, perfume, jewellery, bouquet, making the morning run so smoothly and stress-free. The makeup was beautiful, the best version of me and made my eyes pop, it lasted all day and night. Melanie exceeded all expectations. If you’re looking for someone who combines incredible talent with kindness and reliability, Blush Bude is who you are looking for.

My Fairy Godmother

As someone who doesn't wear make-up I was nervous and out of my comfort zone booking an MUA, however meeting Melanie for the first time all of my nerves went away, she made me feel at ease the whole trial with her bubbly personality & wicked sense of humour. She offered copious amounts of patience & guidance as I had no real idea of what I wanted.

The morning of the wedding it poured down, but in came sunshine Melanie, helping me relax & feel at ease once again. Not once did I feel unlike myself even with makeup on, I felt a million dollars & the bridesmaids were over the moon too!

I honestly couldn't reccomend her enough. Melanie you're a diamond & amazing at what you do! I wish I could do the whole day again ❤️

Professional queen!

Mel was fabulous from the start, extremely helpful as she has a wealth of knowledge from being in the industry for a long time, she offered hints and tips not only for my bridal makeup and skin care but advice on all aspects of wedding planning and my venue. She always brings a positive and warm vibe, she is meticulous in what she's does and a true perfectionist, I can assure you that she will ensure you look stunning for your day. Thank you so much Mel 💓

Melanie was not just part of our glam squad, she was there early morning of the wedding day to be on hand to help all of us feel beautiful and amazing on such an importants day. For those of the bridal party who didn’t have the pleasure to visit her in Bude for a rehearsal - she knew exactly what to ask you to deliver the perfect look. Climb up in her make up chair, and trust that you will look absolutely perfect when you get down. Melanie went above and beyond- thank you so much for everything.

Melanie is a wonder woman!!

I could not reccomend melanie enough, from the pre booking, trial and the big day she was sensational. She was kind, lovely, funny and so talented I could not fault her at all. Me, my mum and 4 bridesmaids were truly pampered and she felt like one of the girls by the end.

She drove so far to be with us and stayed far beyond what she needed just to be there, helped me into my dress, played with my dog and even did a film reel of the morning and sent it to us.

Please please PLEASE if you're getting married in devon and want your makeup done flawlessly with a fabulous lady BOOK MELANIE !!!

Glowing maid of honour

I honestly can’t recommend enough!

From the moment she arrived, she was warm, friendly, and so easy to chat to, it felt like having another friend in the room.

She made both the bride and I feel not just beautiful, but truly confident and empowered. She listened to what we wanted, added her professional magic, and the results were flawless all day.

What touched us most was her incredible professionalism and even in the face of a deeply personal loss, she showed up with such grace, kindness, and focus, making our morning so special.

We are beyond grateful she was part of such an important day.

A huge thank you!

I highly recommend Melanie for your bridal make up! From the very start, Melanie was so friendly and professional. She listened to my specific needs/ideas for my bridal make up and for my bridesmaid and brought my ideas to life. I absolutely loved my bridal make up and I received so many compliments! Even for my bridesmaid, who doesn’t normally wear much makeup, Melanie used products that felt light on her skin and enhanced her natural beauty. Melanie had such a positive and calming presence on my wedding morning which helped to keep me relaxed. I can’t thank her enough for what she has done! Xxx

Fab wedding make up- would recommend!

Blush Bude was recommended to me by my venue. From the beginning, Mel was so helpful. My wedding was in Cornwall but I am based in the midlands so I was unsure as to how it was going to work getting trials etc. Mel was super flexible and fit me in for a trial when I was on a visit. She was super friendly and gave honest advice as well as offering local recommendations. She also put me in touch with a hair stylist (who was equally amazing!). On the day, she brought good vibes and did make up for myself, my mum, mother in law and 3 bridesmaids. She did a great job on them all and everyone felt their best. She listened to guidance and if people weren't 100% made small changes eg more shimmer or a different lip colour. Would recommend!
