Welcome to the web site of Illusions by Melanie.   I am a professional makeup artist, located in the greater Seattle area.   I am certified, trained, and experienced in all aspects of makeup artistry, including bridal makeup, fashion makeup, SPFX makeup, period makeup, and airbrush makeup. Airbrushed makeup, including foundations, tatoo concealment, and high-end spray tanning are a specialty. In-depth color analysis is available. I offer on-location makeup service for brides and other members of the wedding party. If your wedding party is large, I have a team of experienced makeup artists and stylists to accommodate you.   I am experienced in headshot makeup, fashion photography makeup, film makeup, TV and video makeup (including high definition), commercial print makeup, and theatrical makeup. I also do makeup for proms, graduations, other formal events and portraits.   I perform modern color analysis.   I now offer spray tanning just like expensive salons, but at reasonable cost.   I can be contacted by e-mail at ibmel@ibmel.com or by telephone at 425-761-6496(mobile) or 425-369-0818 (studio).
