1000000000% would recommend!!

Danielle was absolutely amazing and one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day! From my makeup trial to the actual wedding, she made me feel so comfortable, confident, and beautiful. She truly listened to exactly what I wanted and created a look that felt like me — just elevated and flawless.

During the trial, Danielle took the time to perfect every detail and made sure I felt completely happy and confident with the final look. On the wedding day, she brought such a calming and positive energy to the room, which made the entire morning feel so much more relaxed and enjoyable.

My makeup lasted all day and night through every emotion, photo, hug, and dance, and it looked absolutely flawless the entire time. Not only is Danielle incredibly talented, but she is also so professional, kind, and genuinely passionate about what she does.

I am beyond grateful to have had her as part of our wedding day and would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for a makeup artist who will make you feel your most beautiful and confident self. She is truly amazing!

Best makeup artist

Danielle Forte did my makeup for my wedding and I cannot recommend her enough! I came to Danielle after a makeup trial with someone else that I hated, and she completely turned the experience around for me. I have honestly never felt so beautiful—my makeup looked absolutely flawless. Danielle is incredibly talented and I will never go to anyone else for makeup again!

The most beautiful I’ve ever felt!

Danielle was absolutely amazing. She made me feel so beautiful on our wedding day. My makeup lasted all day long, even through all the happy tears, and still looked flawless by the end of the night.

She was incredibly kind and so accommodating throughout the entire process. As someone with fair skin, finding a makeup artist I felt confident with was really important to me, and I trusted her completely. She exceeded every expectation and made me feel confident, comfortable, and beautiful.

I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist and would highly recommend Danielle to any bride

She is a gem!!!

Danielle is so talented at what she does. She did my bridal makeup, as well as my bridesmaids and my mother. She was able to make us all look so gorgeous, without looking like we had makeup caked on our faces. She knew how to bring out our best features and make us look awesome for photos! Not to mention she is so friendly and easy to talk to. I will definitely hire her again!

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!

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!

I felt like a beautiful bride!

Danielle was beyond wonderful during the wedding planning processes. I thought her services were very reasonably priced and her professionalism was beyond exceptional! Danielle is so sweet and made me very comfortable during our time spent together during our makeup trial and on the wedding day. I even reached out to her regarding a second trial the week of the wedding because I had a last minute change of heart in how I wanted to look on my special day. She was super quick to respond and was more than happy to do a second trial! I absolutely adored the way she did my make up on the day of the wedding, I had never felt that beautiful before! What I loved most about my makeup is that I felt that she had highlighted my natural beauty rather than contouring me to look different than how I truly appear. I also really loved how she did my mom and bridesmaids makeup! They all looked so beautiful and truly glowed! I highly recommend Danielle, you will not be disappointed!

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!
