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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you travel outside of Billings for makeup appointments?

Yes! I’m happy to travel within and beyond the Billings area. Travel within city limits is included, and locations outside Billings may incur a small travel fee based on distance—just let me know where you’ll be!

How far in advance should I book?

For weddings and large events, I recommend booking 2–6 months in advance to secure your date. For smaller appointments, 1–2 weeks is usually sufficient, but feel free to reach out anytime to check availability.

Do you offer makeup trials for brides?

Absolutely! Bridal trials are highly recommended and give us the chance to create and perfect your look before the big day. You’ll leave the trial with confidence knowing exactly how your makeup will look.

What products do you use?

I use a curated kit of high-quality, professional products that are tested for longevity, comfort, and skin-friendliness—including brands like MAC, NARS, Charlotte Tilbury, and Temptu. I also maintain strict hygiene practices with every application.

How long does a typical makeup application take?

Most applications take about 45–60 minutes. Bridal makeup may take up to 90 minutes to ensure every detail is just right. I always build a timeline with you to keep things smooth and stress-free.
