Miel Beauty *Bridal Makeup Artistry & Airbrush Tanning*

Wonderful! My makeup and hair were beautiful. Thank you so much! You both were great!

Charisse did a wonderful job with the makeup for my wedding. She was respectful of my many allergies to makeup and made me feel comfortable during the process. The makeup looked natural but beautiful and showed up well in photos. Thank you, Charisse, for helping me look beautiful on my wedding day.

Charisse was an absolute joy to work with in preparation for our wedding. If first impressions are everything, I noticed immediately how radiant she was and wanted to learn all her secrets! Living in Philadelphia, most of our initial communication was over the phone, and I always received an immediate call back and she was always excited to chat and get to know what I liked and didn't like.

During my trial, she helped me figure out how to better care for my skin and gave me so many helpful tips that I have since adopted. I knew from the moment I met her that I was in great hands.

Then came the wedding and she gave me the most natural airbrush tan as well a beautiful natural makeup look that everyone commented on. I felt healthy and gorgeous all day because of everything she helped me with!

She is such a delight and put everyone at ease with her infectious laugh and kind spirit. It was so fun getting to know her and if I ever move closer to Ithaca, I'm calling her first to grab a glass of wine and chat! Thank you Charisse, I adore you!

Charisse is awesome! Not only is she an excellent artist, but she has a great personality too! I had to plan a wedding from cross country, and Charisse was the easiest vendor to work with. She is very friendly and will help ease your nerves. I would definitely recommend Charisse!

Charisse and Amelia were a dynamite duo on my wedding day. Not only did they make me and the women in my party feel and look beautiful, but they were timely, efficient, and SO MUCH FUN to be around! We had a great time just talking while they did our hair and make-up. They are HANDS DOWN the best deal in the area for hair and make-up. The quality of their work is superb, but they are very reasonably priced. Being on a tight budget meant that I was careful with my vendor selections--I couldn't have been happier with Charisse and Amelia. Charisse went out and hand picked my lip color and brought me my own lipstick for touch ups throughout the day (she even made sure one of my BMs was in charge of it for me!). Whitney was fast and did EXACTLY what the girls wanted with their hair. ALL of my Bridesmaids raved about their hair and make-up. It's too bad I live in Washington, DC, or I'd be banging on their door to do my face/hair up for everything! I would not hesitate to recommend Charisse and Amelia for any event!

Charisse did make-up for me and my bridal party and it was truly a pleasure to work with her. She is very flexible and will work with you to meet any and all of your needs. Scheduling a trial was a breeze and she came to my wedding venue which was super helpful. She is an extremely talented aesthetician who was able to translate my vague descriptions such as "I want to look glowy and dewy but not too overdone" into exactly how I wanted to look on my wedding day. I've never felt so beautiful. And besides all that she is so friendly easy to get along with, it felt like she was just one of my girlfriends helping me on my big day.

Charisse was amazing! I was so happy with my make up and with all my bridesmaids. We looked natural and amazing!

Charisse made every single women feel beautiful on my daughter's wedding day. She was flexible, added in the brdie's grandmother at the very last minute. My daughter commented to me that she was so calm walking down the aisle because she felt so beautiful.

Charisse and Whitney were amazing to work with, and I truly felt the most beautiful that I have ever been! My bridesmaids also looked amazing with their hair and makeup. Thank you so much for everything!!!

I had a wonderful experience with Mielbeauty for a second time! Once for a airbrush tan and then recently for my wedding makeup! She does a beautiful job, everyone kept commenting on how beautiful the makeup was. She understood that I wanted it to be as natural as possible while still looking great in photos and it came out great. I would definitely recommend Charisse for both makeup and airbrush tanning!

Charisse did my makeup for my wedding and she was fantastic! She suggested lip color during my trial and purchased a lipstick and gloss for me the day of my wedding. I was so happy she did because I certainly didn’t remember to! The products and brushes she uses are great and she is very friendly and knowledgeable. My makeup looked very natural , yet stayed-put until 3am!

I loved the subtlety and naturalness of the makeup that Charisse did for my wedding day. She was very helpful and had such a beautiful personality. I am really happy that I came across Mielbeauty.

We had a few issues with this vendor but she did a pretty good job; the make up artist (aesthetician) Charisse Koba is very nice, friendly and knowledgable. The make up, however, did not last long and we did not have a touch up base. It did last through most of the photos so that was awesome. The look was exactly what I wanted and I think she did an amazing job with the wedding party.
She also lost our cheque which sent us running to the bank during our honeymoon - the only real reason we lowered her rating.

Charisse is AMAZING!!! My makeup looked fantastic and lasted all day with out any touch ups! I ve had so many compliments on my makeup.

I had the best experience with Charisse from Mielbeauty. Not only did she do a beautiful job, she was extremely knowledgeable, personable, professional, and fun to be around. My whole bridal party (and my Mom) looked wonderful. Highly recommended!

Charisse and Amelia made my day easy and stress free. They were both very responsive and flexible in the planning. I was very confident they would make my bridesmaids, mom, and me feel comfortable and beautiful. They did that and more. Not only did they make my vision a reality, they were friendly and easy to talk to. I would recommend them both to any bride.

Charisse was amazing! Not only was she completely flexible with spray tan/makeup, but she also set us with with Hair! Not being from the area, it was a true blessing to have someone take care of that for us! I loved my makeup and the pictures turned out wonderful! I would HIGHLY recommend her! she is amazing!

I was lucky to have had the opportunity to have Miel beauty do my and my bridal party's make-up. I was unable to do a trial because I was an out of state bride, but felt more than comfortable with her to go ahead and do our make-up the day of the wedding. Her flexibilty also helps calm any pre-wedding stress by traveling to your location so you dont have to rush from a salon to get back in time to get dressed. She also recommended a hair stylist to do our hair, who was also great and did exactlay what I envisioned. Miel Beauty's professionalism, experience, and service made us all feel comfortable and most importantly, beautiful on my wedding day!

Charisse was very quick and professional. She worked with me and everyone in my wedding party until our makeup was perfect and exactly as we wanted. She was flexible and came to our hotel to help us get ready there!

Charisse at Mielbeauty did my spray tan and make-up for my July 2011 wedding. She also did the make-up for all of my bridesmaids, my mom, and my fiance's mom on the morning of the wedding. Throughout the planning process, Charisse was very quick at responding to my inquires and was very flexible with scheduling my make-up and spray tan trials. She was pleasant to work with, a true professional, and delivers a great product! I was so happy that I acted early and was able to book Charisse for my wedding! I'm still getting compliments on how I looked at the wedding and I largely have Charisse to thank!

Charise did a wonderful job! I've never had my make up done before so I was a little nervous, but we did a trial and she was always very quick to respond through email to any of my questions. She did a wonderful job, arrived early the day of and was so sweet. My make up lasted all night and looked wonderful in my pictures!

Charisse did such an amazing job! I recommend her to any bride out there or just anyone who wants their make up done by a pro! She is so sweet and fun to work with.

We all looked absolutely beautiful and our pictures were great! The pinup/cheesecake look made the day fabulous and fun. Having a makeover party at my house was very convenient, too. Bravo!

Charisse is an amazing makeup artist - I have worked in the cosmetics industry for years, and have always been fussy about the makeup that I have done by others (usually means going home to wash off what was done by the artist). This concern definitely applied to wedding makeup, as we've all seen the caked on look, as well as my general concerns being an Asian American woman, with different features than the standard American face. Charisse worked with me at my trial and listened to the look I was hoping to create, played around with the colors until it was just right. We tweaked a little here and there, but got exactly what I had wanted with the first attempt! She is relaxed, listens to what you want, and loves what she does which instantly puts you at ease. She also uses amazing products that feel lightweight, not cakey - I can't tell you how many guests at the wedding complimented me on how great my skin looked! I would recommend Charisse to my closest friends and family, which means I'd recommend her to any bride/woman who wants to look amazing on her special day. Case in point, my friend getting married next year asked Charisse if she is available to travel to Long Island!

Charise was excellent! She was very professional and did a great job with our makeup for our wedding. She traveled to my house and was able to adjust our needs as things happened. I would recommend her to anyone!

Charisse is an absolute pleasure to work with! She came to my house to spray tan me and my girlfriends before my bachelorette party and it was so easy and convenient, plus we all looked great for the trip to the beach. Charisse also did my wedding makeup, as well as my mom's makeup and my entire wedding party. It was a blast to work with Charisse, she had great ideas and knew what looked best on everyone. Our makeup lasted the entire evening and I can honestly say I never felt as beautiful as I did that day!! I highly recommend Mielbeauty for spray tanning and makeup. You just can't go wrong. A+++

Mielbeauty is the best makeup and mobile spray tanning service in Ithaca and surrounding areas. They are professional, accommodating, and a pleasure to work with. I hired Charisse to do my makeup, as well as my bridal party's, for my wedding and couldn't have been more pleased. I am very particular about how I like my makeup done, and was nervous that I would look overly made-up in my pictures. Charisse took the time to really listen to what I wanted, and the end result was perfect. I still get compliments on my makeup when when people look at my wedding photos. She was a joy to work with. She was punctual, got me and all the girls done on time and stayed while the photographer took the pre-wedding shots to assure I was pleased with how I looked in the pictures. I've since referred their services to many friends who have raved about the professionalism and quality of their work. I have also used the mobile spray tanning service on multiple occasions and the only downfall is how addicting it is! The convenience of the service paired with how natural and beautiful my tan looks have made this a staple in my beauty routine! If you're looking for a high quality, high end, affordable and professional beauty service, I would recommend Mielbeauty.
