Highly recommended!!!

When I find a good person, I stick with it them. I have hired dozens of makeup artists throughout the years - and Daurisa is a true standout and I intend to work with her for many years to come. I have known and worked with her for nearly a decade and will not call anyone else when I am in the New York City area and need a makeup artist for important meetings and events. She is kind, caring, warm, funny, reliable, thoughtful, passionate, professional - and incredibly talented!!! I highly recommend her for any makeup needs. When you don’t want to take any risks and want someone who is a genuinely good person and all about EXCELLENCE in what she does, Daurisa is absolutely the right choice. 10 out of 10. 5 Stars. 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟

Made Be Feel Like A Queen

If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is nothing short of a miracle worker, look no further than Daurisa Tessier! Daurisa recently did my makeup for my wedding, along with my 10 bridesmaids, my mother, mother-in-law, and even my husband, and she absolutely knocked it out of the park! From the moment she arrived, she made the entire process seamless, stress free, and fun.

Daurisa’s artistry is unparalleled. She has a true gift for bringing out natural beauty while making you feel like the most glamorous version of yourself. She worked her magic on everyone, flawlessly tailoring each look to suit individual styles and features. I was in awe of her ability to keep everything running smoothly, even with such a large group, all while staying by my side to ensure I felt perfect every step of the way.

Her professionalism, calm demeanor, and attention to detail were beyond impressive. She’s not just a makeup artist, she’s a calming presence, a true perfectionist, and a wonderful person to have with you on such an important day. My makeup lasted beautifully all day and night, even through happy tears and nonstop dancing.

Thank you, Daurisa, for making me and my loved ones look and feel absolutely stunning. You are a true gem, and I couldn’t recommend you more highly!

"Unforgettable Transformations: A Journey with My Talented Makeup Artist

I am absolutely thrilled to share my experiences with the incredibly talented Daurisa, who has been an essential part of my most cherished life events: my wedding in 2019, my baby shower in 2021, and my 40th birthday celebration. Her exceptional skills and delightful personality have made every experience with her truly unforgettable.

From the very first time she worked her magic on my wedding day, I knew I found someone special. She not only understood my vision perfectly but also enhanced it, creating a look that was beyond breathtaking. The makeup was flawless and lasted all day, capturing the essence of elegance and joy that every bride desires.

Fast forward to my baby shower in 2021, was once again the only choice. Her ability to adapt to my changing style and preferences and create something unique and stunning is a testament to her skill and versatility. She managed to make me feel radiant and glowing, perfectly complementing the joy of impending motherhood.

Most recently, she worked her magic for my 40th birthday celebration. Her approach was fresh, sophisticated, and youthful, perfectly reflecting the vibrant and joyous bash that marked this milestone. My guests couldn’t stop complimenting the flawless look, and I felt like the belle of the ball.

If you're looking for a makeup artist who will deliver stunning results and exceed your expectations on your big day, look no further!

I got Married & needed a wedding makeup artist

A phenomenal experience I had on my special day. Not only did I love my makeup— Dori taught me how to even apply the makeup, for touch ups as needed. She left me with knowledge on which products are good for everyday looks, and for the great date nights I will be having with my man or should I say husband! Not only is she professional, she is full of great positive energy. Dori prayed over my wedding, love, and family. I am Beyond grateful for the experience that I had and will be hiring her again for a photoshoot with my husband and I

Maid of Honor

Daurisa was very professional, on time, polite, and thoughtful of the entire wedding party and their particular needs. She is very neat and maintains a well clean area and makes sure she does not use the same makeup applicators on her clients. Each client she made up had a brand new make up applicator. She was very attentive to the bride and made sure the wedding party’s make up was flawless. I would greatly recommend Mrs. Tessier to any looking for a MUA. Thank you Dori.

Nothing but the best!!

Dauri is the absolute best! She did hair and makeup for both my engagement shoot and wedding day. She is so down to earth but also super professional. With us having to change our wedding date, Dauri was understanding and I was SO happy she was available for our new date! (I honestly don't know what I'd do if she wasn't.) Dauri has such good energy and had me so calm before saying "I Do". Her work is amazing, I got so many complements that day and it was all thanks to Dauri! Thank you so much Dauri, you're beautiful inside and out! :)
