Wonderful Experience

Danaya is an amazing makeup artist! She’s confident but also listened to exactly what I was looking for. She was able to create my vision, mixed with her expertise to get ‘my look’ for my wedding day. It was more than I hoped for.

She was also a lifesaver - I needed someone last minute and she replied to my request immediately. She even came all the way out to Northern Va. for me.

I had a huge transformation for my big day! My best friend and daughter also looked amazing! In addition, she’s so kind and helpful with tips for applying regular day makeup. Highly recommend! You won’t regret working with her.

One of the best makeup artists in the country.

Danaya is an exceptionally skilled makeup artist. I am not new to makeup or professional makeup and have gotten makeup done by some of the best celebrity makeup artists in the country and Danaya is on par with the best of them. She did makeup on my whole bridal party, including mothers, aunts and women of different skin tones, texture, ages and tastes. She has matched the colors and the products, followed their preferences while making the overall look for each one of them into perfection. She was also like a fairy godmother on the morning of the wedding, arrived super punctually, brought so much positivity and energy with her, and made sure everyone was happy. She didn’t leave until everything was perfect. Highly recommend.

Definitely hire Danaya!

I have sensitive skin and don't usually wear a lot of makeup, and Danaya was super responsive to what I wanted and made me look gorgeous while still feeling like myself! Both my and my bridesmaids' makeup was still flawless by the end of the night.

Excellent makeup artist

Danaya did makeup for all 7 bridesmaids, my mom and mother of the groom. My makeup was done by my cousin who could only do me so I wanted to hire someone great for everyone else and I succeeded! Everyone loved their makeup and they loved that eyelashes were included! She was very responsive throughout the whole planning process and is very accommodating and comes to you on the wedding day. She also recommended a hair stylist as she only does makeup. We ended up using her recommendation and loved her as well! Thank you so much Danaya!

Very talented artist!

Danaya was great!! She was able to create a look on me that worked for my skin tone, hair color, eye color, etc. She thought about every detail and wasn’t done until it was perfect! She was so sweet when we met for my trial. It felt like being around a good friend. I highly recommend her!

Amazing Experience

Danya made my day perfect! She made me feel so beautiful on a stressful day, both my Mom and soon to be MIL couldn't say enough great things about her professionalism and amazing work! She does more than makeup, she made me feel like a bride and gave me the confidence I needed for that day! Thank you so much :)

Flawless Service

There aren't enough words to describe Danaya's talent! She is incredibly caring and takes her time with her clients. She managed to make my six bridesmaids, maid of honor, and myself feel and look like princesses. I can't imagine having anyone else doing our makeup on my wedding day. The photos are stunning. I highly recommend Danaya! She is truly a gem and is highly skilled in what she does. She was also an extremely calming presence for me and made me feel entirely at ease through the whole process. Thank you, Danaya! If you are looking for a makeup artist or stylist - look no further!
