    Perfection!!

    Danielle exceeded my expectations! She was able to master the exact look that I was going for, as she pays attention to every detail. She strives for and achieves perfection. Loved so much that I booked her for my next event!

    hands-down YES YES YES. I’m a picky person and even pickier bride, and I could not have been more PLEASED!

    Danielle is beyond your basic make up artist..... her professionalism is above par, but her innate talent and expertise as an artist is incomparable. She really listens to you and what you want and beyond that, she delivers it in ways that only a true artist can. I would consider myself someone who is pretty knowledgeable in make up and application and even have worked in the make up industry.... and quite frequently get told “you can’t be happy, unless you just do it yourself” and appt of times with make up and hair..... it’s the truth, or I find myself changing this or fussing over that after the application is done (usually small things and unnotacible to others, but very noticeable to me!) however, with Danielle Drake, there was not one single thing I would have changed or even possibly done better or had anyone do better ! She was aces at my consultation (where I got a total run through as well as finished and ready to go look - which I was able to wear for my rehearsal and rehearsal dinner that lasted a long long long and hot hot humid night). She is open to any ideas or concerns you may have and she does not disappoint! In fact I’m more of the diva full glam “love make up and the make up look type” while my groom( now husband (: ) is much more the natural no cake-face or false-this type. And she gave me that photo shop finish I wanted without all cake! In fact his exact words were “I really like your make up” x2 haha that Friday and that Saturday after ceremony and he never comments on my make up - while I get a lot of compliments on it by gals .... so I thought that was worth noting, Especially due to the fact I wanted to look the best for him, while still feeling I looked my best.... and SHE NAILED IT!! 10000000% would hire her for ever event ! And seriously loved her! Not only as a professional expert, but also makes you feel human again and sits you in her chair and is super friendly. I found her to be almost a cathartic character, very calming and charming and down to earth. So she is very good at making you feel comfortable and beautiful no matter what wedding stressed-facial tolls are being thrown your way. I love her. She is great and way worth the price ! Will be posting more pics once I get some with my published gallery from photographer! Same with Friday! (Danielle, you can are free to post any you may have) would love to see them) thank you so very much, big Leo love for you, girl!

    Um WOW - can you say flawless?! My makeup was on point! This girl listened to what I wanted and any concerns I was having, she squashed them with the fantastic job she did. She'll help to highlight your best features and make you feel friggin fabulous! Danielle's not only a breeze to work with but so FUN to be around, she make you feel beautiful and confident, and it could not be more obvious that this chick loves what she does.

    Danielle is an excellent makeup artist who also does an amazing job of educating and teaching her clients about applying makeup, product choices, etc. She also listens to your preferences and ideas. I go to Danielle for all my makeup needs, whether for a special event or just to get makeup tips and advice. I highly recommend her for any occasion, big or small. Her skills are second to none.

    Danielle is an awesome makeup artist and aesthetician! In the months before my wedding she helped me with my skin and what a difference! I told her she is a skin god. I was embarrassed about the look of my skin, but she made me feel very comfortable. On the day of the wedding she did makeup for my stepmother, maid of honor, my daughter, my stepdaughter, as well as mine. She did a fantastic job and we will definitely use her again!

    Not enough words to describe Danielle's exceptional skill and talent. She has done my makeup on 5 different occasions and I was amazed with each different look; beautiful and flawless. I loved how the makeup looked in the mirror and on camera and wouldn't have changed a thing (which I never experienced previously with anyone else after getting my makeup done). Danielle creates the perfect look based on your taste and style; and if you don't have a specific look in mind (which I usually don't) she always knows how to create something extraordinarily stunning. Aside from her impeccable art, she is such a pleasure to be around; so sweet and funny, I always feel so comfortable with her. She recently did my makeup for my wedding as well as 6 other people in the wedding party and it was amazing! So perfect, lasted all night and looked so great in all of our pictures. I didn’t want to take the makeup off at the end of the night! Danielle was so helpful throughout the process and answered all of my questions. One of my bridesmaids (who has been in several bridal parties previously and her own wedding) told me after the wedding that this was the best wedding makeup she’s ever had! I couldn’t agree more! I will absolutely book Danielle’s makeup services for any other events in the future or even just for a night out. A truly one of a kind talent!

    Danielle was so incredible! I had my makeup done by her for UF Law Barrister's Ball. She did a great job on my makeup and made sure I was extremely happy with it. If there was any concern with anything, she changed it to make me happy. Also, I found out last minute that I was able to get off work and was going to be able to attend my event. About 10 days before my Saturday event Danielle worked out a time to fit me in. My time was early so she also assured me that she would be around that evening and would fit me in to touch me up if I needed it! The day I booked my appointment she met with me just to see my face, dress, and talk about what my event was and what I was going for. I had never done airbrush makeup before and she even did a quick trial on me last minute so I could see what it looked like. She went above and beyond! She referred me to all of her favorite vendors... nails, hair, tanning, eyebrows! I had an excellent experience with her and also every vendor of hers that I used! The whole week before my event I would text her for advice about my shoes, jewelry, makeup that I should buy to keep for my oily skin, etc. She was so extremely friendly and made me feel 100% comfortable. She even took the time to take pictures of my boyfriend and I before the event!!! We wouldn't have memories like we do if it weren't for her because we didn't get together with a group of people before the ball. I can't describe how great she is! At my event I kept getting so many compliments at how great my makeup looked! Even days later when I got back to work, people at work were saying how incredible I looked after seeing facebook pictures. I would definitely recommend Danielle for anyone's makeup needs!! I have already been referring her out! She seriously made the experience SO fun! I felt pampered!

    Danielle is such an amazing makeup artist! She made me feel very comfortable and asked me lots of questions so she could produce the look I was going for in my engagement photos. My makeup looked flawless and i received so many compliments on how good it looked in person and in my pictures. I've already booked Daniel to do the makeup for my wedding and I can't wait!

    Danielle was great to work with! From the moment I walked in the door she made me feel like a friend, not a stranger. She did wonders on my face for my wedding makeup trial. After trying one look, I changed my mind and she completely redid my makeup. She was so sweet about everything. Her main goal is to make her client happy and I could tell.

    This was the ideal experience for makeup. I am someone who wears makeup weekly not daily, and I barely can do eye liner. So I was nervous and didn't know how to describe my expectations. Not only did she make me feel comfortable with the professional makeup, but beautiful in my own skin. The makeup is weightless and stayed on all day through sweat and me rubbing my face (pollen season!) She has a wonderful studio and really seems to have a passion for

    Danielle is seriously an outstanding makeup artist! She made me feel so comfortable after my wedding trial makeup session, and I am beyond excited about her doing my makeup the day of the wedding!!! Danielle has such a fun and bubbly personality that she had me and my maid of honor smiling and laughing the entire time. The airbrush makeup and eyelashes were on point--I got so many compliments about my makeup after my trial!! I was a little nervous going into it because I had started breaking out and she did such a great job to make me feel comfortable and my skin looked flawless. I will call upon Danielle and her glam squad to make me look good for future events!

    I’m not one who often gets dramatic with my makeup, so I was extremely hesitant when choosing a makeup artist for my wedding day. I wanted to look like an enhanced version of myself, and that’s exactly what I got with Danielle! During my trial, she showed me some makeup and skincare tricks to prepare for the big day. Using that trial, we worked together to fine-tune my wedding day look into something that I was absolutely thrilled about! To make the whole thing even more perfect, Danielle is such a wonderful, sweet, and supportive human being! My husband has even mentioned several times how he wishes he could have gotten to know her because I always have a smile on my face when talking about her. :) Time literally flew by with Danielle as we talked about everything and anything. Family drama had me nervous about the big day, but talking to Danielle was like a little therapy session—I left feeling elated and confident from the inside out! Thank you for contributing to the absolutely perfect day that was my wedding, Danielle. You are an angel <3

    I went to Danielle for my wedding makeup trial and she just created the most fun, amazing experience! I truly felt like a star from the second I got to her beautiful studio. She was thoughtful and attentive to details, creating an individualized experience for me rather than just doing my makeup. She even made sure she was playing my favorite music!!! Danielle was also prepared before I got there, as she had asked me detailed information about my wedding vision and preferred style. Her sweet, energetic personality is contagious... I truly walked out feeling happy and special. Her experience and confidence as a makeup artist also made me feel at ease throughout the process. She makes sure she is using the best quality products in the market and is perfectionist in her approach. As a ballet dancer I have some experience with theatre makeup and I can honestly say her skills as a makeup artist are superior. My makeup was absolutely gorgeous and stayed flawless for hours!!!!!! I am so excited I will have someone so caring and kind be part of my wedding day... And hopefully many other special days to come!!!

    Danielle is sweet, bubbly and immediately made me feel comfortable! She is obviously great at what she does and really wants you to feel happy. Before we met for my trial make-up, she asked me send her pictures of myself and the type of make-up I had in mind for the wedding day. It was clear she felt that this trial run was important and put thought into it before I even met her! I am so excited that she will be doing my make-up on my wedding day and I am definitely confident that she will do a great job!

    I had a delightful time with Danielle during my initial trial consult for my wedding makeup. She is a true professional and artist. Honestly, I cannot say enough good things. This girl has got it all! She is warm, and sincere. She listens to what you want, communicates well and gives feedback as she works with you. She is a perfectionist and will not settle until you look perfect. Her application technique is beyond great and the results are simply stunning.

    This whole process of planning a wedding isn't my thing and I have not enjoyed it, but to say that Danielle and working with her has been an incredible bright spot would be an understatement. She instantly makes you feel so comfortable and furthermore, she made me feel excited and really like a bride, like I was so important and it really is my big day. Every idea I presented her with she met with with the same excitement and immediately delved into "ok this is how we are going to do it" "lets play" "this is going to look awesome" and really kept my spirits high. AND THIS WAS JUST MY TRIAL!

    I cannot wait till my wedding I know she is going to keep me in a good mood that day and get me feeling beautiful and excited with so much confidence. For her work I have no worries because every photo I showed her or idea I wanted to try she executed without any issues. In fact, due to a medication allergic reaction I've had a rash on my face and she easily covered it and has texted be things I can try to heal faster and has asked about how it is healing for me. Truly a radiant fun spirit that I am glad will be there to make me gorgeous on my wedding day.

    Danielle was so amazing! She listened to exactly what I wanted for my wedding make-up. I usually don't wear a lot of make up, so I was worried that I wouldn't look like myself if I hired someone to do my makeup. But Danielle did a perfect of job of making the make-up subtle but gorgeous. I love my wedding pictures, my make-up looks good from beginning to end. And she was so fun to work with, very personable and friendly!

    I loved the trial run Danielle did do much that I asked her to do my make up for my bridal shower. She did a phenomenal job, and I loved how I looked. I felt SO pretty! The make up lasted all day, even well after my bridal shower was over. I got tons of compliments on how great my make up looked. It made me feel super confident too! :)

    Danielle will be my makeup artist for our wedding in December, and I cannot speak more highly of her! This review is for the trial run we did, She was really helpful as we were discussing options for different makeup styles for the big day and what would be best for me. She had a lot of great input and ideas, and really just made everything so EASY (and what bride doesn't want that?!). My makeup didn't budge the whole day. I'm super excited to see how my wedding day make up turns out!! :)
