Behind the Brush
Meet Michelle Wight
Second-generation Mexican-American. Female business owner. Mother of four. Michelle’s background has been a direct influence over her dream of creating a welcoming and inclusive space in the hair and makeup industry.
That dream has manifested into a world of approachable elegance — a world where everyone is invited. Michelle and her team purposefully do not have a signature look that they create, because beauty is simply not meant to be one-size-fits all. Today, her team and client base continue to expand as she gains recognition in the industry.
Outside of the artistry, Michelle enjoys spending time with her big family, Pure Barre, and getting wrapped up in podcasts — her favorites are a healthy mix of business and Bravo.
Michelle Wight Makeup Artistry is a true reflection of Michelle’s values, and she couldn’t be happier for it to be such a monumental part of her beautifully busy life.
Making Millions of Women Feel Like One in a Million
… That’s our vision for Michelle Wight Makeup Artistry. We are an on-site, diverse collective of hair and makeup professionals. We specialize in bridal, special events, photoshoots, corporate, and male grooming.
Our work has been recognized by industry-leading outlets including The Knot, Style Me Pretty, and Seattle Bride. We have also been voted "Best of The Knot" in the bridal hair and make-up category four years in a row.
Rooted in the belief that beauty is innately personal, we work individually with each client to create their signature look. Serving Seattle and beyond, we travel worldwide to provide bespoke beauty for all.
