Deanna is, without a doubt, one of the very best decisions you could possibly make for your wedding day (she most definitely was for me :))! She is one of the sweetest, most caring people you will ever meet and her talent can't even be captured by words. From the booking process to the actual wedding, Deanna was such a gift to work with.

Booking Process: I actually booked Deanna back in the spring of 2019, and got to work with her through fall of 2021 due to multiple cancellations for my wedding. Deanna was absolutely wonderful and incredibly easy to work with the first time around, but I will never be able to thank her enough for sticking with me through not one, not two, but three rescheduled wedding dates. Deanna was unbelievably kind, patient, and flexible, and did absolutely everything she could to be a part of my big day! When little changes popped up (e.g., adding an attendant/time changes), she readily made the changes (she's so on the ball!!) and was always sooo sweet/understanding about them. During a time of high stress and uncertainty, I always knew I could count on Deanna, and that really meant the world to me.

Wedding Day Makeup: The times I have felt prettiest in my life were for my wedding makeup trial, my engagement pictures, and most of all my wedding day. Deanna did my makeup for all 3 events :) Deanna truly has a gift for making each person look like the very best version of themselves. Even my pickiest bridesmaids commented to me that Deanna was INCREDIBLE and they'd love to work with her again. One of my bridesmaids in particular has had issues with her eyebrows all her life, and to this day she comments about how her eyebrows never looked better than when Deanna did them as part of her makeup routine (she is dying to book Deanna for her wedding but sadly for us, she moved to NJ -- you brides there are so lucky to have her :)). Also of note: my mother-in-law was very anxious about getting her makeup done for the first time, but Deanna was so gentle and did exactly what my MIL had hoped for. With that said, not only is Deanna insanely talented and knowledgable, but her presence is so calming and reassuring, which is important on your wedding day. She knows exactly what to do to make your makeup pop in pictures in the best way.

As a bride, I couldn't imagine my and my husband's big day without Deanna. I have never felt so confident or beautiful. Deanna, thank you for EVERYTHING. You had such a major role in making my wedding day the special and perfect day that it was! You are SO MISSED in Illinois!

PS - Extra bonus, Deanna also does an amazing job with eyebrows, lashes, and facials :)

I am beyond happy that I booked Deanna to do my wedding day makeup!!! She not only made me feel beautiful for my wedding day, but helped me schedule (and reschedule - thanks COVID) my makeup trial, wedding day makeup, and other beauty services prior to my big day.
Her talent alone is enough to help you feel confident in booking Deanna, but you should also know that she will help you to feel beautiful inside and out for your special day!!!

Deanna has done my make-up for several occasions and she is absolutely AMAZING! I cannot say enough good things not only about her, but her work!
At each occasion, I felt gorgeous all day and received so many compliments! I can’t wait for her to do my bridal and bridal party make up next year for my wedding day!
