The sweetest!

Danya is absolutely amazing! We did a bridal trial where I was able to change a couple of things to fit my style and for the wedding day. Shes easy to talk to and calming. I also had her do my makeup for a redo wedding photos and she was able to come early in the morning to create my same look!! Love her. Definitely recommend for anything!!

Best MUA!!

I am SO grateful I found Danya! I originally had another makeup artist booked, but after my trial, I wasn’t happy and ended up canceling just two weeks before my wedding. I found Danya on Instagram and instantly felt like her vibe matched mine. Since it was so close to the big day, I didn’t have time for a trial and just had to trust my gut. I’m so glad I did!

Danya was super responsive and accommodating, even with the last-minute timing. She was flexible when I needed to change the getting ready location, and overall, just such a calm and reassuring presence during a stressful time.

My makeup turned out exactly how I envisioned it—soft, natural, and romantic. It wasn’t heavy at all, and I still felt like me, just more elevated. Danya truly was a life-saver and took such a weight off my shoulders. Highly recommend her to any bride looking for a fresh, natural look and an artist who genuinely cares!

If your trying to decide on a makeup artist Danya is the great. She made me look so natural and flawless but not like i was wearing a bunch of makeup, which is something I was really nervous about. She answered quickly when I text her any questions I had and was pretty fast getting everyone ready the day of the wedding. Overall I was very happy with the job she did and like I said she is great at makeup! LOVE HER!

Danya was really flexible and was willing to drive to the location without any fee. Her prices were amazing and for the quality of service, I would recommend her to anyone! I was able to show her pictures and she was able to recreate the makeup and hair. My hair did start to fall out towards the end of my wedding, but i was jumping up an down enjoying the night. My makeup stayed perfect the entire night! I received numerous compliments and if I were to do it all again, I book Danya without hesitation.

Danya did an excellent job! I looked so beautiful the day of my wedding I kept getting compliments on how beautiful i looked and not mention my husband loved the way I looked as well. (most important opinion) She was also very sweet and friendly and made me feel very comfortable. I felt like I was in good hands from the first time we met at the trial and i knew that Danya was the right makeup artist for me. Do Not be nervous with her she will do a great job and make you look beautiful.
