Off White Makeup and Beauty

I can’t remember the name of the stylist who came out to my venue to do my wedding makeup, but she did a beautiful job! I told her I wanted to look mostly natural and nothing too crazy and she achieved it above and beyond my expectations. Their pricing for airbush makeup was very reasonable– (I believe it was $ 75) and my wedding was in Issaquah, and the travel fee was only $ 30. For an additional $ 15, they applied individual lashes and they looked AMAZING! I highly recommend Off White Makeup and Beauty, they are very professional and easy to work with.

Megan did an AMAZING job on my wedding makeup and hair.
We did a trial run a month ago and am so glad I did it because it helped me to know what I liked and didn’t like. It was my first time using airbrush makeup and my skin became extremely oily within an hour of application. Also, there wasn’t much coverage, so blemishes was still visible. The eyeshadow colors used wasn’t what I was looking for. Not her fault as I didn’t give her much direction because I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted. I just knew the end result after the trial run wasn’t it. Hair was great though and I knew that it was the style I wanted.
I was a bit apprehensive on how to proceed with the makeup part… but Megan and I communicated via email after the trial. We discussed what I liked and what I didn’t. I wasn’t sure airbrush makeup was for me, but she assured me that she’ll use more coverage to hide blemishes, use a primer and finishing spray to reduce the oiliness and suggested a type of matifying powder to pickup for touch ups through out the night. I also asked to do a more neutral color palette for my eyes. She listened to everything I wanted… and I was so pleased with the final result. It was exactly how I wanted to look for my special day.
The makeup and hair lasted the entire night (even through a few tears) and she was spot on with the primer/​finishing spray/powder…the makeup looked still looked amazing at 11pm. She arrived 10 minutes early and finished right on schedule, doing hair and makeup for both myself and my maid of honor. I would absolutely recommend Megan and Off White Makeup.

I had a terrible experience with my hair and makeup stylist on my wedding day. Even though we had a successful trial where I was very pleased with the hair and makeup, she didn’t seem to remember anything. She had to redo my eye makeup 3 times (2 times requiring complete do-​overs). I had to show her a picture that I took of the makeup for her to recall. She also asked to see my pictures of the hair, and the final product didn’t look nearly as nice as it did during the trial. We ran over by 30 minutes, at which point we had to severely limit the pictures we could take. It was an incredibly stressful experience.
Megan was apologetic and offered a partial refund, which I appreciate. Leading up to the wedding, I found that it often took a while for Megan to respond and we had to change the trial date several times due to the stylist’s schedule. Since hair and makeup ended up being one of the more stressful parts of both planning and day-​of, I would not recommend Off White.

Megan did a fantastic job with my hair and makeup for my wedding, and was an absolute pro at managing my multiple (unexpected) last-​minute requests for services for mothers, aunts, sisters, friends, etc. Really, she deserves five-​stars in both categories — hair/​makeup AND relationship management/​professionalism.
I’m not a big makeup girl, but I do appreciate looking beautiful for special occasions and Megan made me feel amazing for my big day. We did a trial a few days before and she was totally open to any changes I wanted made based on how the trial had held up, which I appreciated (as it turned out I really didn’t want anything different, but I know she would have been totally receptive if so and that attitude was appreciated). Megan is fun and chill and was easy to chat with throughout the process and never really put any pressure on me to look or try anything beyond my comfort zone.
As for her flexibility and professionalism — when I first booked with her, it was just for me. Literally three weeks before the wedding, the requests came rushing in from the rest of our families to also have hair and makeup done, and not only was Megan able to accommodate those, but she was even able to squeeze in two friends’ hair on the day of. I’m sure it helped that most of the women had shorter hair and that I didn’t feel particularly rushed on the day of, but in any event everything worked out well, everyone looked fabulous, and the price was totally reasonable.
I would not hesitate to recommend Megan and will call her first if I need hair/​makeup services again.

I used Off White for my wedding. There were quite a few of us, myself, some bridesmaids, moms and a sister. Everyone looked beautiful. We had Nicole and she is amazing. Not only is she great at what she does but she is kind and thoughtful and genuinely seems to enjoy herself.
My only complaint is really more about our poor planning in that myself and my mom were super rushed at the end. Helpful hint, the bride should never go at the end! This also happened to a friend of mine who used a different company.
Nicole was extra kind and stayed after we left to do the make up and hair of my friend who was our greeter. She wasn’t on the original list/​plan and it was after our time was up!
One last tip, do the trial! I did mine and loved it all but then decided that wasn’t what I wanted for my wedding day! I am so glad I did a trial!

I am someone who does not wear or own make-​up, but I needed to have my make-​up done for my son’s wedding. Furthermore, my skin has freckles and age spots which needed to be addressed. After I arrived in Seattle, my sisters read about Off White on Unilocal and insisted that I make an appointment. Megan quickly scheduled me for a trial make-​up session with Nicole at the shop. The trial turned out well, but I decided that the make-​up was a bit too heavy for my purposes. So Nicole lightened it up on the actual wedding day. I received many compliments about how my face looked in person and in the photos. Furthermore, I was delighted to find out that Nicole was able to style my hair as well. So, what could have been a stressful time preparing for the wedding turned out to be a breeze — Nicole came over to my rental house and did my face and hair — all I had to do was to put on my mother-​of-​the-​groom dress and drive to the wedding. How carefree was that?! And she was able to do the make-​up and hair of another adult guest at the last minute — and that other woman looked stunning as well. All in all, I would recommend Off White. Nicole did good work and Megan was so responsive with regard to scheduling and communication.

Off White Makeup & Beauty is the best!
I used them for hair and makeup on my wedding day last week, along with my five bridesmaids.
They were great from the start with working with me to book my trial, which I scheduled on the morning of my bridal shower. It lasted the whole day and I even went to the gym in the evening, and my hair and makeup stayed put, with just a little bit of blotting powder in between.
The day of the wedding, Nicole and her assistant showed up on time at our hotel room, and efficiently fixed hair and applied makeup on all six girls within 3 hours. Everyone agreed they loved their hair and makeup and that it was probably the best makeup they’ve had done. One note I have from the times I’ve had my hair and makeup done, is be clear with what you want and save examples to show. That saves time for everyone and it will more likely guarantee that you like your look.
I felt like I looked like a better-​than-​usual version of myself, and that I felt happy with the way I looked both in-​person, and in photos. The airbrush makeup makes your skin look flawless in a natural way and stays put all day! I didn’t take off my makeup until after midnight, and it still looked fine at that point. I was so tired I slept in my chignon bun, but woke up with it 95% intact.
I definitely had a great experience with Off White, and I recommend them to anyone that is looking for wedding hair and makeup stylists.

I used Off White for my wedding makeup, hair updo, and pre-​honeymoon spray tan. I worked with both ladies and they were both very professional and easy to talk to. Their shop’s walls are covered with framed photos of their gorgeous happy clients of all races, sexes, GLBTQ client weddings and they also deal with more standard fare like me being an older bride who is hoping for a magic «make me 25 for a day» wand :) They came as close as anyone possibly could between the spray tan, cute loose side bun with room for flowers or a family hairpin, and airbrush perfect makeup. They even had a perfect lip shade that they had and I loved flown in for me so I’d have my own tube for the honeymoon! Normally, pretty isn’t the first word people think when they glance at me, but on my wedding day, I was gorgeous. Thank you so much Off White team!

I’m a full time professional wedding, portrait and event photographer (
) and have worked with Megan of Off White Makeup and Beauty a couple of times when photographing weddings. Both times she not only did a beautiful job but in terms of timing she completed her work on time which is a very big deal on a wedding day when most things never run on time. She has an electric personality and is always fun to be around as I’ve gotten to know her through wedding industry events over the years. I never hesitate to recommend Megan to my clients.

First of all, word of advice to brides-​to-​be: there is nothing *low key* about a wedding. I’d planned on having a reception/​reunion of friends and family, nothing *fancy*, but only a few months before the actual date I came to grips with the fact that I needed to look a little more attractive than melted ice cream on the sidewalk, which is when I found Megan, after countless others were booked up months and months in advance.
Since we were not having a *real wedding* I was very low key in my requirements. «Make me look halfway decent so I won’t clear the room» was my only request to Megan. She had no easy job.
Went in for the trial at her studio. The trial is pretty much like the real thing, except Megan pays more attention during the day of. There was one other bride there who was made up to look like a *real* bride, complete with the flowers in her hair.
Me — I only asked Megan help me look «natural», not like the world of Suzie Wong, and that the makeup must stay on all day, since I had a tendency to stick my head into a bowl of punch for a swig whenever I feel panicked, which was the entire 6 months leading up to the reception.
Got the air brush, hair in a French braid and eyelash extensions and all looked very natural. Even slept in the French braid (not recommended, unless your wish is to experience neck pain at its finest the next morning), which amazingly kept its shape, as it was pinned to my head like cement. The trial eyelash extensions fell off easily when I washed my face, but this was corrected when I had the *real thing*. Megan even had time to do my complaining mother’s makeup (sans airbrush) within an hour the day of. (Sewing of the mouth shut is extra.) Me, about an hour and a half. But neither of us had special requests, such as braiding in some chopsticks or a bowl of grapes.
Megan’s prices are clearly laid out on her website and in the contract. And her prices are more competitive than others.
During the process, Megan is quite communicative and concerned that her clients like what they see she’s putting on the makeup. She will not give you raccoon eyes or leopard spots, unless you want them. I also suspect that Megan provides «traditional» bridal makeup, meaning her specialty isn’t zombie brides nor weaving a bloodied hatchet into your hair. She wants you to look like your dewy, bride-​y self at its best. And while my personal limitations might have made me fall short of that goal, it wasn’t for a lack of Megan’s trying.

I generally had a good experience with an Offwhite for my wedding. The service provided was excellent and as expected, for my bridesmaids and myself.
There were some initial scheduling/​communication issues which were ultimately resolved satisfactorily, which do not impact my review here.
I did take the rating down a bit because rather than proceed with the contracted services, one additional makeup job was added, which ultimately led to my mom getting a very rushed job as she was last — and it was clear she was upset by it. It put a pall on the mood for a bit.

I used Off White Beauty after the stylist I booked (way in advanced) canceled on me a few months before. Since I was getting married on Memorial Day weekend, I was scared other places were already booked. I considered Off White before so I contacted to see if they were still available. Thankfully they were.
Megan was nice and friendly and seemed to sympathize with my situation. Megan did my hair/​makeup for my trial and wedding, and I believe Nicole did my hair/​makeup for another shoot. They made me beautiful. Megan were prompt in communicating with me and arrived on time the day of.
Thanks for making my wedding less stressful. :)

Megan at Off White Makeup & Beauty is wonderful! She did my makeup today and I feel amazing! She understood that I don’t wear a lot of makeup in my every day life, and «made» me up accordingly. I feel glamorous but not overdone. She was a blast to chat with as well. The time flew by and I felt like I was just chatting with a girl friend! I’m a professional wedding planner and this is my first time working with Megan. I know it will NOT be my last! I will be recommending her to my clients and friends!

Yikes. I emailed this company to inquire about bridal hair and makeup services and a woman named Megan was quick to respond with pricing quotes — and their prices are pretty good.
We discussed trying to setup a trial run and I asked when she had availability. She didn’t respond until late night Friday night trying to get me to a trial early the next morning (unprofessional, lack of respect of my time). Early the next morning (I had not responded) she emailed me to tell me, «oops! Totally forgot I actually have to do a WEDDING today, so I can’t do the trial at that time.» That, of course, made me question whether or not I could rely on her to actually show up to my wedding and not forget!
I still liked their pricing so I figured I would contact the owner and ask if I could be paired with a different artist. Lo and behold, Megan is the owner.
Needless to say I am going elsewhere. Decent pricing but not worth the lack of professionalism.

Thank you for your comment Megan B. At the time of consultation I was never told that I couldn’t change to not having my hair done by your stylist. Yes, I did and still do apologize for canceling the trial appointment. I never received the emails or messages you said you sent me. So, I’m not sure what happened? Since you said you did I truly appreciate it. I do take it seriously, and it seems you keep implying that it’s my fault. I know that it was wedding season, but I didn’t know that it was set in stone that I have to get my hair and makeup done. Things just didn’t turn out well. My wedding day turned out to be truly wonderful. Also thank you for your time.

These people are clueless when it comes to customer service. When I was getting marry last summer, I tried to contact them via FB and email to inquire about their services but never got a response. Even if they were booked for the day I was requesting a simple response would have been nice. They are in business to service people and they can’t even get the fundamentals of customer services right!

I was going to go somewhere else for my makeup on my wedding day and am so glad I talked to Megan at Off White! We met a few weeks before the wedding to get an idea of what I was looking for. I opted not to do a trial to help save some money.
She came to my house the day of the wedding and got right to work while my hair was still being done! She checked in with me many times to see how I was feeling, and if it was the look I was going for.
She was spot on! I am comfortable with makeup but didn’t want to look like a drag queen, she hit the nail on the head! I looked perfect!
The makeup lasted the entire wedding day, from Noon to Midnight!
She was easy to work with, listened to what I wanted, and was so much fun to have over! Her prices are extremely reasonable and well worth every penny!

Megan from Off White did my hair and makeup for a wedding I was in. I was the maid of honor so it was important to me that I looked good since I was going to be in my best friend’s wedding photos forever!
The whole experience was great. My hair stayed put all day, even while I was running around doing setup and taking photos in the wind at Golden Gardens.
With the eye makeup, I asked for a «natural» look since I don’t usually like to wear heavy eye makeup. She did a great job – it was bold enough to be seen in the photos but I still felt like «me.» The foundation wasn’t «caked» on, which I’ve experienced with other makeup artists in the past. Megan even gave me a lip stain sample to take with me for touchups!
Thanks again! xoxo

I worked with Megan at Off White in April 2009 (wow, it’s been 3 years!!) for my wedding and had a very good experience. She did makeup for me and ³⁄₅ of my bridesmaids. Megan was very responsive and easy to work with from beginning to end!
We met twice before my wedding: first as an initial consultation to look at pictures of makeup she had done in the past; and second to do a trial run. I had a pretty tight schedule, but Megan was able to meet with me on a Saturday afternoon, at her home, to do a trial run. We experimented with different colors and foundations to find just the right fit. Her expertise were very valuable because I wanted the makeup to stay on for the ENTIRE day. This meant pictures starting at 9am (while getting ready at home) until the end of our SECOND reception at midnight (15 hours!!). Megan found just the right makeup: not too shiny, not caked on, subtle yet beautiful.
Preparations on my wedding day ran smoothly, as well. I had a morning wedding (with the limo picking us up at 9:30am), so Megan had to be at my place on the Eastside at 7:30am. She arrived on-​time, with every eye shadow color under the sun (who knew what crazy colors my bridesmaids wanted, so she came prepared). :-)
My makeup turned out great and stayed on the ENTIRE day (my fake lashes stayed on even until the next day, when I took them off… whoops. :-))!! I would definitely recommend Megan to any bride!

Megan exceeded my expectations! My make-​up artist and hair stylist both quit on my a week before my wedding. Scrambling, one of my bridesmaids recommend Megan. After speaking with her, she got me in the next day for a trial. She’s the whole package — my hair and make-​up was stunning! She also did all of my bridesmaids, my sister in law and my mother. She even came back for touch-​ups after we had been out taking pictures. The girls all looked beautiful, and each one had a unique style to fit them the best. I am so pleased I found her last minute! I would highly recommend her!
