Makeup Artist, Montana Native, Mobile Beauty Boss: My Story

Hi! I'm Mel Roberts, the face and hands behind Makeup by Mel. Born and raised in Montana, I grew up surrounded by country sunsets, dusty rodeos, and a love for the natural beauty of the West. But my heart always raced for glam, glitter, and good eyeliner.

After years of doing makeup for friends, family, and bridal parties, I trained professionally and started this mobile makeup business to bring personalized beauty services straight to your door—whether you're in boots or bridal heels.

I believe every face tells a story, and I’m here to help you tell yours with confidence, charm, and a little sparkle.
