100000% recommend these amazing women!!!!

I had the pleasure of having Lana do my bridal makeup for both my rehearsal dinner & my wedding day. I would recommend them a million times again to any bride who wants to feel like the most beautiful version of themself on their most special day. I showed Lana multiple inspiration pictures & she completely captured the look I was going for & somehow exceeded my expectations. My makeup lasted all night, all my insecurity spots were perfectly blurred & my makeup lasted all night!! If you’re considering booking them, please do, you will not regret the decision!! They were also super fun to chat with & the sweetest ladies!! My day was even more special having them a part of it!

Best of the Best!

I cannot recommend Alana with Bella Vita Artistry enough. She truly is the best of the best. She listened carefully to what I wanted and absolutely nailed it. I still looked like me, just elevated and glowing. I felt so beautiful while still feeling like myself, which was exactly what I hoped for. My makeup lasted all day and photographed perfectly.

Beyond her talent, Alana was incredibly professional. She was responsive throughout the entire planning process and was punctual on my wedding day.

Book with her - you won't regret it!

Alana is an amazing makeup artist! She made me, my wedding party, and my mom feel beautiful on my wedding day. We were all very happy with our makeup and didn't need any adjustments. I didn't even have a makeup trial with her and she made me look exactly how I envisioned on my wedding day. Our makeup even lasted 10+ hours in 90 degree weather! In addition, Alana is very sweet, reliable, and excellent at communicating. I would recommend Bella Vita Artistry to anyone :)

Incredible!

Alana did an incredible job with my bridal makeup! 6 months later and my husband still raves about how great I looked and tells me the next time we have professional photos done “I have to get the same person to do my makeup.” Coming from the man who wanted me to do my own makeup because he didn’t want me to have “too much”! I was so happy with how it turned out and all my bridesmaids and my mom looked incredible as well!

Book Alana Now!!

I cannot recommend Alana and the Bella Vita Artistry crew enough!! I had the pleasure of booking Alana for my bridal makeup along with my bridesmaids and mothers. From the very beginning she made the experience as seamless as possible!! In the bridal world transparency is so hard to come by but Alana lists her services (along with pricing!) right on her website. Her booking process was clear/easy and her communication from start to finish was amazing!! Most importantly, she made me feel like the most BEAUTIFUL bride 🥰 she catered to all of our skin tones and types and was just such a calming presence in all the wedding day chaos. I could never have imagined the positive impact Alana would make on my wedding day. I HIGHLY recommend Alana for all of your MUA needs!!

Perfect elopement hair and makeup!

Alana and her team were absolutely amazing. I booked her for elopement hair and makeup. I didn’t have the chance to do a trial since I was coming from out of town, but I loved her portfolio, took the chance, and it couldn’t have turned out better day of. I knew I wanted a half updo and more natural makeup, but I wanted to look like a bride. Alana and Nick delivered. I felt absolutely gorgeous and everything held through the whole day. I can’t recommend them enough.
