Dakota was amazing!

Dakota did a fantastic job on my makeup for my wedding on June 8, 2024! Not only is she a master at her craft, she is also kind, funny, and outgoing. I asked her to do a "soft glam" look, and she nailed it! I received so many compliments throughout the night :) She also made my mom and mother-in-law look like movie stars!

I am so grateful to have had her on my team for my wedding!!

Absolutely Perfect!

I cannot say enough amazing things about Dakota! She sat and listened to exactly what I wanted and boy did she deliver! My biggest fear with makeup as someone who does not wear it regularly was that it would be too much and I wouldn't look like myself. Dakota made sure that it was the perfect amount for me where I still looked like myself just with a touch of wedding glam! She was such a fun energy to have around on your big day, you absolutely must hire her!

Dakota is amazing!!!!

I met Dakota when she did my makeup at a friend's wedding, she had everyone looking stunning. I ended up getting her card and was so happy she was available for my wedding! She was very responsive and friendly. She asked me questions about what I wanted and at my trial, she gave me a look that was flawless and timeless! The morning of my wedding Dakota was right on time even a little early. Everyone looked amazing and they couldn’t believe how natural the airbrush looked!  I felt so relaxed and just knew I was in good hands with Dakota. Our makeup looked fantastic and lasted all night long. I can’t recommend Dakota enough, she is so talented at her craft and you can tell she really loves what she does. If you’re thinking of booking Dakota, definitely do it and quickly before she fills up ❤

Incredible!!

Dakota was so amazing from consultation to my big day. She was so professional, fun to be around, and truly amazing at what she does! My bridesmaids and I aren’t the type to wear much make up if anything so we were worried about feeling like it was caked on and my wedding was in August in Paso Robles so I was so worried about it melting off😅 and it sure didn’t and felt so natural. The airbrush foundation is seriously incredible, I couldn’t feel it at all. She made me feel so beautiful without making me feel like I needed a bunch of makeup. I am so very grateful for everything she did for me and my bridesmaids on my big day. Dakota also absolutely KILLED it on our hair! I really didn’t know what I wanted I just knew I wanted it up. We did my trail and I feel in love with it! She also was able to add in flowers that were given to me by my husbands aunt. She made sure it was perfect and it held up so good especially for the fact that our venue was on top of a hill. I would recommend to 10x over, she is the best in the business!
