Amazing work

Magda was so patient with me (someone who knows nothing about hair and makeup) and truly elevated my wedding day look with her expertise. She was also so good with my friends and family who also got hair and makeup done. HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend. She's the best.

Best makeup experience for the best day of my life

Magda did my makeup as well as my mother’s and some of my bridesmaids’ makeup for my May 2021 wedding and looking back at the pictures I could not be happier with her work. She is a true professional, talented and so knowledgeable about skin care and makeup application. As someone who does not wear makeup on a regular basis, it was so important to me to look beautiful but natural and like myself on my wedding day and Magda pulled the look off. She truly listens to you and her pricing and contract are reasonable and straightforward. My mother and bridesmaids only had positive reviews of Magda’s work, and everyone looked so beautiful because of her.

She has a great energy, is down to earth, and is open to feedback. Her calm demeanor was much appreciated as we all scrambled to get ready the morning of the wedding. From the way she prepped my skin, to the application of the eyelashes, to the colors she used, every product was quality, and I am proud to say my makeup lasted on a hot day from the ceremony to outdoor reception to the afterparty that lasted through the night.

Best wedding makeup

I am so happy with the results of my makeup Magda did for myself and my bridesmaids. She is an artist and her work is fabulous. Our makeup was radiant from the beginning of the day all throughout the evening. I couldn’t be happier and would recommend Magda for any and every event! She is professional, has a great variety of makeup, and very clean. She will create the most gorgeous look you just have to let her know exactly what you want and she’ll make it happen. Thank you again!

Magda’s Designs

I can’t express how happy I was with Magda, she truly is the best makeup artist you will find. My experience with Magda was wonderful she was on time and very professional. She did makeup for my sons wedding for me, my mom, sister-in-law and niece. She had an age span from 28 to 83, she did elegant glam for my niece to a beautiful natural look for my 83 year old mom and everyone’s makeup was impeccable and flawless.

The wedding day was very humid and despite sweating a little, the makeup lasted all day and night.

Now for me, I felt beautiful and loved the way I looked. I can’t express how happy we all were. I highly recommend Magda, I will never use anyone else.

Amazing! Awesome! Incredible! Outstanding!

Magda is truly amazing! She is very responsive. I found her on Wedding Wire. She nailed the look that I wanted for my wedding day and more! My bridesmaids looked incredible as well! Her expertise and artistry is unmatched! Stephanie did my hair, and the bridesmaids’ as well. She made my hair look better than I could have imagined! I’ve never felt more beautiful in my life. Magda and Stephanie are so very easy to work with and personable.

Fantastic Experience with Magda Designs

I highly recommend Magda Designs for your wedding day! After several COVID twists and turns, and having to significantly downsize our wedding, Magda came to the rescue and put me at such ease. She asked great questions, understood my vision, and addressed all my concerns about safety precautions. On the day of the wedding, Magda and Stephanie were so attentive to exactly what my ladies wanted and got along beautifully with my family and wedding party. We had so much fun! Everyone felt pampered and amazing. We also finished early. Everyone's hair and makeup stayed beautifully all day, even wearing masks on and off throughout the day, and taking pictures on the beach. Thank you so much Magda for making my day so special!

Magda is amazing!!

Update! Magda did both my micro wedding and my big wedding this past June and she was absolute perfection just as expected! My makeup lasted the entire day and was the exact look I was envisioning for my wedding day. I cannot recommend her enough!


Everything about my experience with Magda was amazing. She went above and beyond to accommodate me when my June wedding was postponed due to covid and converted into a micro wedding in August. My makeup was perfect for the occasion of a micro wedding and lasted the entire day. I can’t wait for her to do my makeup again for my big wedding in June. She is the best!

Magda was amazing

My sister used Magda for hair and make up for her COVID mini-money and will be using her for the big wedding day and all I can say is that she is amazing. The makeup looked untouched by the end of the night and felt super light on my skin.

Magda was super professional and respectful of the COVID restrictions / guidelines. Made us feel safe and normal! Would recommend to anyone!
