When you trust her most precious pageant asset to a hair and make-up artist, it is best to go with experience and quality. This year's Best Pageant Make-Up artist has the track record and client support to stand out from the crowd.
Meredith Boyd, is an accomplished pageant consultant in Atlanta, a makeup artist with her own line of cosmetics, and a commercial print model. She held the title of Mrs. Georgia United States 2003 and placed 4th in the Mrs. United States Pageant. Meredith also held the title of Mrs. Georgia International 2008 and finished as 1st Runner-up.
Clients sing her praises as a make-up artist and selfless supporter. We'll focus initially on her make-up work.
"With Meredith, I always look and feel like a million dollars when I'm done! " says the reigning Miss Junior Teen United States Copelyn Jue.  "Her techniques enhance my best features and I don't look 'made-up'."
"Without her knowledge and expertise in cosmetics and her products, I would be a lost cause during competition!" says Brina Potvin who was her 'little' sister in 2008 holding the title of Miss Georgia Teen International 2008. "She has taught me everything I know about on-stage makeup and has provided me with beautiful results in photo shoots and on stage."
As mentioned previously, Meredith extends her work through her own make-up line called Meredith Boyd Cosmetics.
"I use "Meredith Boyd Cosmetics" during pageant competitions and even every day," asserts Potvin.
Former Mrs. Georgia United States Kathleen Batson says Meredith can enhance those 'over 40' as well.
"At my age (45), she really knows how to bring out my features and make them pop in my photos, which not every makeup artist in the pageant world knows how to do for us gals over 40! "
Another 'older contestant' commends her work and attention to detail during photo sessions.
"Meredith suggests outfits and jewelry to enhance the model and then compliments the choices with the correct make-up colors," says Laura Giordano, Mrs. Georgia International 2010.
Meredith's work can be seen on the national, state and local level. Lindsay Schafer has competed in several local pageants in Georgia and took her recent photographs with Meredith's assistance.
"I've never been so impressed!" says Schafer "Her work is amazing!"
Another state level contestant, Lynsey Sanderson says that Meredith will make you stand out in any room.
"When Meredith does your pageant make-up you will feel like the most beautiful woman in the room," says Lynsey, "She has the unique ability to apply make-up like she is painting a beautiful picture.  She is very good at bringing out your best attributes with make-up"
Emily Cook, the reigning Miss Georgia who won (playing the oboe no less!!!), says Meredith is more than just a make-up artist, she is a trusted friend.
"Meredith is sweet and caring and always has what is best for each individual girl in mind.  She has constantly helped me out through my journey as Miss Georgia and will remain a friend for years to come.  Meredith is a true gem of the pageant world!"
All of these qualities are not only appreciated by contestants, but their support system. Rhonda Barney, pageant mom to Miss Teen Georgia World Megan Barney, appreciated Meredith's dedication to each client.
"Meredith truly pours her heart and soul into each and every girl she works with," says Rhonda. "Meredith supports each girl equally to strive to be the the best and she truly does it with all her heart. She's been doing my daughter's makeup since the age of 13 and will continue to do so for her wedding and beyond, she's a part of our family."
Her experience and credentials are impressive on their own. Meredith Boyd is certainly deserving of the title Best Make-Up Artist.
