    Phenomenal Makeup Artist!

    Danielle was so amazing to work with on my wedding day! I cannot thank her enough for her time spent with me and my bridesmaids. She went out of her way to help accommodate my large bridal party and was so responsive throughout the whole planning process leading up to my wedding day. I especially loved her at home studio for the trial run! Absolutely loved how my makeup turned out on wedding day!

    Danielle is a wedding must-have!

    I first connected with Danielle after spending hours searching Instagram for Makeup Artists. I loved her work and reached out immediately. She responded very quickly and we scheduled my trial! At the trial, I was very impressed by her makeup studio and felt very comfortable with her.
    On the day of the wedding, she brought another Makeup Artist to help out. In total, 9 women got their makeup done. Both Danielle and her assistant did amazing jobs and everyone looked so beautiful!

    Wedding 8/21/21

    Danielle is and was amazing!!! She did my engagement photo session and blew me away so of course I had to have her for my wedding as well. I had two bridesmaids that are a little picky and my mother in law is blind and she handled all three of them with ease! I will definitely be going back to her in the future!

    Danielle is AMAZING!

    Danielle did my engagement photo makeup, a bridal trial, and my wedding makeup. I was a little nervous to have my makeup professionally done because I don’t normally wear a lot of makeup and it was important to me to still look and feel like myself on my wedding day. Danielle 100% nailed it!

    She took my feedback for a natural and “glowy” look. She is also extremely easy to talk to and makes you feel so comfortable while you are getting your makeup done.

    I LOVED how my makeup turned out and the same for all of my bridesmaids and my moms too! Everyone was extremely happy and looked so beautiful.

    She is also very punctual and organized which is key for your wedding day! Danielle is amazing at what she does and I can’t recommend her enough!

    Amazing!

    Danielle did an absolutely AMAZING job with my makeup, as well as my bridesmaids, mom, mother in law, flower girls, etc.! I went to Danielle for a bridal trial, and immediately knew that I made the right decision in picking her! She was so friendly, easy to talk to, and really listened to exactly what I was looking for! We went with a natural, glowy look and I LOVED the way my makeup turned out!! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and so did all of my girls! And it stayed on all day/night!

    Also, she was great with communication and responded super fast! She was extremely organized the day of the wedding and kept us all on track! I am so grateful for Danielle for being a part of my day and for making me feel like the most beautiful bride. THANK YOU!!!

    Loved everything!

    Danielle was the best -- she did my makeup for both my bridal trial and my wedding day and I truly loved it both times. I was going for something more on the natural side and not too dramatic and it was perfect. She also took care of my two bridesmaids and my Mom, and they looked beauitful!!! Definitely recommend :)

    Best MUA in Wilmington

    Working with Danielle was a dream! From the moment I met her, I knew she was going to be the perfect artist for my family's only wedding day. Everything about my trial was perfect and somehow even more perfect on my wedding day. I felt absolutely beautiful. My entire family and wedding have not stopped raving about her and her assistant since our wedding day. We absolutely love Danielle!

    Amazing make-up!

    Danielle is a make-up artist goddess. My Asheville wedding was cancelled due to COVID restrictions. I emailed Danielle for a small Wilmington wedding and she quickly responded. She made everything so easy, came to our house, and make us look amazing. I have been in several weddings as bridesmaids (Danielle has done my make-up 3 times) and she is by far the best! The make up looked natural (which is what I requested) and last all day long.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    I don't have enough kind words to say about Danielle. She absolutely SLAYED my wedding day makeup, along with my mom, bridesmaids, and mother in law. She is also so incredibly sweet and easy to work with - from my initial outreach, to my bridal trial, to wedding day and post wedding day. I'd absolutely recommend her to any one looking to feel their best on their wedding day, or any big day in their lives for that matter!

    The Makeup Queen!

    Danielle is so talented and made me feel absolutely beautiful! I was incredibly happy with my makeup, along with my bridal parties! Danielle is very easy to communicate and work with. I’m so glad I found her and highly recommend her for any bride-to-be!

    Loved Danielle!

    I am so glad I choose Danielle to do my makeup, she was such a calming and helpful presence on a hectic day. My makeup turned out beautiful and lasted all night. My mother-in-law felt so glamorous that she left her makeup on the next day!

    I can't possibly say enough about how fantastic Danielle is. She was always responsive, friendly, and is SO talented at what she does. She did the makeup for six of us this past weekend and everyone looked absolutely stunning. It was raining, humid, and hot. My makeup lasted the entire evening through tears and sweat. I received so many compliments specifically on my eye makeup! If you want to look your absolute best you NEED to book Danielle!

    Danielle Forte is one of my favorite people! She worked with me time on getting just the right look, AND talked me out of an orange spray tan - she is my savior for that!

    Danielle is amazing! She did my engagement photos, bridal portraits and my make up for our wedding day! You tell her what you want and she delivers! I wanted glamorous for our wedding day and glamorous is what I got! I had 6 girls in my bridal party and she completed all make up in perfect timing without making us feel rushed. My girls and I looked absolutely stunning on our wedding day! I plan on using Danielle for any/all events in the future!

    Danielle is a gem! She did my bridesmaids makeup last weekend with Amy Kennison and was such a pleasure to work with. My girls are already beautiful but she made them perfect :) :) We were all laughing the next day when my MOH's makeup was still FLAWLESS and she was able to wear it the whole next day!! Thank you Danielle for sharing your talent with us!! Brides, you cannot go wrong with her! She is laid back, professional, and gets the job done!

    Danielle saved the day by coming out to Topsail and doing my daughters makeup on a Sunday afternoon at the last minute when our person had a family emergency and cancelled. She did exactly what my daughter wanted and everyone said how great she looked...without a Snapchat filter, lol.

    Working with Danielle was a dream! I knew after my trial she was the perfect makeup artist for my day. She did a great job giving my bridesmaids and mother different looks that flattered their faces while making sure we all looked cohesive. She was completely dedicated to giving me the exact look I wanted and making sure I was happy, despite making some changes after the trial. My airbrush makeup lasted all night and I loved how it looked. I highly recommend Danielle!

    I'd worked with Danielle when she was the M.U.A. on set for 2 projects I worked on, so I knew that she was a total pro when I hired her for my wedding. When the day came, She was absolutely perfect. She listened to me and didn't try to force anything on me. I felt so beautiful after her airbrushing and my bridesmaids looked incredible, too. I would, hands down, recommend Danielle to anyone and everyone getting married in the Wilmington area!

    Danielle was absolutely wonderful to work with! She created a natural look for myself as well as my 7 bridesmaids, mom, and mother-in-law. Danielle came to the venue which helped with coordinating such a large bridal party. Everyone was extremely pleased with their makeup, especially me :) Danielle was very professional and helped to calm my nerves while getting ready. Would highly recommend Danielle to any bride or bridal party out there!

    I couldn't have been happier to work with Danielle! Not only do we share the same name, but I enjoyed conversing with her during my trial run and while getting ready on the day of my wedding. I preferred a very natural look and that is exactly what Danielle provided me with. I not only looked amazing, but felt amazing! My makeup was soft and subtle, but eye-catching! She was very responsive with scheduling and promptly answered any questions I may have had via email before meeting with her.

    Danielle was awesome to work with and did an incredible job on my makeup. It made me feel stunning on our special day. She even helped me with my dress and final touches and worked with the photographer and minister while they were popping in and out. I would highly recommend herto anyone looking for a makeup artist.
