About

Hey there!

I’m Alana, a makeup artist who specializes in soft, effortless looks with just a touch of glam. My experience working with hundreds of clients has made me an expert in bridal beauty. I work closely with my brides to create custom looks based on their personality, wedding aesthetic, and comfort level in regards to makeup.

I’m not your average makeup artist. By hiring me, you are investing in an experience, not just ‘having your makeup done.’ My promise to you is that you and your entire wedding party will look and feel picture perfect from morning ’til night. Rest assured I will satisfy even the most hesitant of clients.

I look forward to meeting you and working together to make you look and feel timelessly beautiful.

Beautiful, natural glam wedding makeup.

Alana was the perfect choice for my elopement makeup. She did the perfect natural glam makeup that made me feel like myself, but more beautiful. She was an absolute pro. She helped me decide on a timeline for my makeup and she came totally prepared. I was getting ready for my elopement alone (with some family on zoom) and Alana was such a wonderful person to have there.

Alana is the BEST

Alana is absolutely incredible. I found her on instagram when I started planning and booked her over a year in advance. She's so talented. A true artist. I never wear makeup (I'm a pilates instructor for a living), and she made me feel so natural, so beautiful, simply an elevated version of myself on wedding day. My bridesmaids looked stunning. My 71 year old mom had her makeup done and almost cried at how beautiful she looked and felt. Alana is a dream! I am so grateful xx

Alana is amazing!

When I was originally looking for vendors for my 7/31/20 wedding, I reached out to Alana but she was unavailable. Fast forward to 2020 and I was looking for someone that would still be able to provide safe services for our small family only ceremony on our original date. Alana was referred to me from my photographer and I remembered I had originally reached out to her, and was so happy when she could now make our day! She was nothing but professional and kind, helping us navigate the day with safety in mind. I loved loved loved my makeup! I still looked like myself, just a way better version :) Alana is so talented at what she does. We also had a small celebration in October and used Alana for make up then and again, everyone was just blown away by her skills. If you want an elevated natural look and someone who will make you look like the best version of yourself, Alana is your girl!

An artist and an angel

Where do I begin? Alana SAVED ME, as my original MUA dropped out at the last minute, and what a blessing in disguise this was! We instantly connected over email as her "vibe" perfectly complemented mine. Not only did she make me look amazing, but I FELT amazing–I was totally feeling myself all day. I threw a lot of vague descriptions about what I wanted at Alana and she delivered exactly what I was picturing. She is a true, intuitive artist. As a bonus, Alana is a delight to be around. She's warm, funny, and just has an overall wonderful energy–a MUST HAVE for an anxious bride on her wedding day.

Best makeup ever!!

Alana was seriously a DREAM to work with. I got married in August 2020 which was a postponed date from June. With all of the rescheduling and uncertainty, Alana stayed calm, cool and collected. She took accommodating me & my girls to a new level with her positive and calming demeanor, which I really appreciated. I originally booked her because I loved her natural makeup look and feel and she delivered perfectly. I loved my wedding makeup even more than the trial. She really listened to what I wanted and made it come to life. It stayed on all night - even the lipstick which is from her own line. I still use it to this day, it's one of my favs :) Thanks for everything Alana!

Perfect make up artist for my elopement!

Alana was absolutely wonderful to work with. I booked her on very short notice for our elopement (about 2 or 3 weeks notice) and I was so glad she was available. She's so talented and made me feel so beautiful. I wanted a natural, dewey kind of look and she nailed it. She asked me for some inspiration pics ahead of time and came prepared. She arrived on time and was so friendly. She wore a mask the whole time and was very covid safe. She even gave me a recommendation for activities for the rest of the weekend since I was new to the area. I would definitely recommend!

Me and my bridal party were flawless!

Alana was such a pleasure to work with! I originally had my wedding scheduled in July this year but my husband and I decided to push out our wedding to 2021. At the 10th hour we decided we still wanted to have a small ceremony but my makeup artist that I had originally booked now had plans. (Fair enough...I did tell her we were rescheduling) I am so so grateful that Alana was available for our date! I secretly was very happy because I had been admiring her work for a while also. She showed up exactly on time to my MIL’s house and right from the start was incredibly friendly. Not only that, but on a personal note, Alana is super sweet, relatable and interesting! It made for conversation that was most welcome on a morning that I was super nervous. As far as her work...it’s awesome! She did the makeup for my matron of honor, my SIL, both moms and myself the bride. We all looked flawlesss and no one had to even touch their makeup all day. (And it was a hot one in the thick of July!!) My pictures came out really elegant and I’m just so happy that Alana was available for my micro wedding! Thank you Alana!

Perfection

I wholeheartedly recommend Alana for your bridal makeup! She knows exactly how to create natural looking yet absolutely stunning looks. I was so happy with my wedding day makeup! All of my bridesmaids and Mom/MIL were raving about how great their makeup was and how lovely it was having Alana there with us that day. Throughout the entire process she was easy to communicate with and addressed all of my questions. She was flexible and supportive through the changes and uncertainty that Summer 2020 brought. I'm so happy we went with her!

Amazing Soft Glam Makeup!

Alana did my makeup perfectly for my elopement! I did a trial with her a couple months before, and she made the slight adjustments I asked her to for the perfect look on the day of. I wanted a natural soft Glam look, and that's exactly what she did for me! So glad I went with her because my makeup looked perfect in pictures! Alana was very accommodating and easy to work with. We got married in the middle of a pandemic, and Alana took all precautions. She made sure everything was clean and properly sanitized and wore a mask the whole time. She was friendly and very knowledgeable about the Hudson valley area. Definitely recommend her for your wedding or special day makeup!

Will make you look flawless

I simply could not be more thrilled that I booked Alana for my winter wedding! She delivered the exact look I wanted, even though I am not particularly makeup-verse and wasn't great at articulating what I wanted - she just knew. And she did such a gorgeous job on me, my bridesmaids, and my mother, all of whom have different preferences. Not to mention, she was such a pro to work with, especially when scheduling my trial - and RE-scheduling it last minute when I got sick! I am so, so happy I picked Alana to be a part of the day! She kept the energy focused but light on the day and we all felt absolutely amazing. I have never looked better. Thank you, Alana!
