I’m Jasmine, A Richmond, Virginia based makeup artist dedicated to enhancing the natural beauty of those I’ve had the pleasure of working with, and those I’ve yet to meet. What began as a love for makeup through creativity and self-expression has grown into a meaningful career centered around connection and helping others feel like the best versions of themselves.

“I had the pleasure of having Jasmine do my bridal makeup and the makeup for my bridal party. Immediately from our consultation and trial at Melt, Jasmine was welcoming and calm, yet also driven and confident in her skills. She took the time to know what exactly I was and was not looking for. She took note of things I was particular about (filling in my eyebrows) and ensured they were exactly how I wanted before moving on. She even fielded my never ending questions about skin care since she is so knowledgeable! On my wedding day, Jasmine was promptly on time and a calm presence that helped keep me at ease. Jasmine was happy to make any changes throughout the makeup application process with no issue (I was difficult and changed my lip color 3 times). My entire bridal party still continues to rave about Jasmine’s work and claim it was the best professional makeup they’ve had. We all felt like enhanced versions of ourselves—it was exactly what we were looking for. The small kit of to-go and touch up items that Jasmine provided each of us ensured our makeup looked perfect the entire night. I would highly recommend Jasmine for any and all bridal/formal makeup services! Melt is lucky to have her.”

If you have ever been one of my clients you know that I love using a lot of adjectives to try and get my point across about the looks I'm envisioning.

They arrived on time, were extremely professional (in their conversation and presentation) and brought their own equipment (to include chairs and tables). They had such a calming and genuine presence and my girls & I just loved sitting in their chairs. They were very good about asking questions about our preferences and were very attentive to achieving our desired looks.”

    I am a freelance hair and makeup artist offering on-site bridal hairstyling and makeup. My artistic approach stems from my time studying painting at VCU Arts. I’ve learned so much in my 6 years doing bridal styling and have loved every minute. From in-person and online workshops to learn from other artists in my community, I am always picking up new techniques and finding new inspiration. My style is natural but elevated. I love texture and romance.

    “Renee was a delight to work with from start to finish! She truly brought my wedding vision to life with the French twist and tendril curls. When she did my trial with me and I wanted to tweak just a few things, she was able to give me advice to bring to my next haircut to achieve the look that I was going for and boy did it! My hair was perfect and I felt like a movie star and princess all wrapped into one. my hair does not hold curls well at all and Renee was able to perform magic on it and the tendrils NEVER dropped all day which had never happened for me before. She made all of my bridesmaids also look drop dead gorgeous and all of their hair held all day and night. I would hire Renee again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to all brides!”

I’m Kristin Mastrangelo, (go head, try it out…it’s easier than it looks), a makeup & hair artist who specializes in wedding, special event, & television artistry, spending most of my time trying to think of PC ways to avoid putting on “real” pants. I’m a wife of 15 years & momster of 4. Obsessed with heavy metal, tea, all black everything, horror movies all the time, a creature of the night. I hate being late. Personally, I believe everyone should be at least a little weird...normal is a setting on a dryer...so embrace you, be different, and do what you want.

    “I cannot say enough good things about Kristin! She did hair and makeup for myself, two bridesmaids, our flower girl, and styled my grandmother’s hair on the morning of my wedding. Despite an unexpected hiccup due to a wreck on the interstate, therefore delaying her arrival to the venue, she remained so professional. Her positivity was probably the only thing that kept me calm that morning! She expertly adjusted the schedule, prioritizing myself and my maid of honor so I was perfectly ready for my first look. Not only did she work efficiently, but the results were stunning! I felt more beautiful than I ever have in my life. She truly captured the vision I had for myself, my family, and my bridal party. Beyond her incredible talent, she brought so much joy and fun to our morning. Her humor and warmth added to the excitement and ease of the day. I will absolutely be going to her for any future formal events, and I highly recommend her to anyone seeking a beauty professional who will make you feel gorgeous, confident, and completely cared for.”

    “I would absolutely recommend you hire Jess for your wedding and here are a couple reasons why… Finding the right hairstylist was one of my hardest tasks. My hair is very thin and I can never get the volume I want so selecting the perfect hairstyle for my big day felt impossible. Everything I saw online seemed like it would not work on my hair but then Jess worked her magic and made my vision come to life! Jess took all my worries away the second I sat in the chair in front of her. It was such a relaxing and enjoyable experience to work with her. Jess was also very reliable, flexible, timely, personable and above all easy to talk to. Jess also has experience in styling different hair types and textures which is something I needed when hiring a hairstylist for my wedding party.”
