Donna Rae was a dream to work with, I had been in several weddings in Seattle as a bridesmaid and was always disappointed and felt like other vendors didn't deliver on the bridesmaids - Donna Rae made sure that everyone looked beautiful (the makeup she did on my mom and MIL was amazing) and was so open to editing my makeup on the day of (I decided to change my eyeliner color and eye shadow).

Donna Rae is super easy to communicate with over text and email and made sure we had a schedule down that made my wedding morning super low stress. I can't recommend her services enough and I loved how I looked all night long (my makeup was perfect all night long).

Donna Rae was so professional. She responded so fast and listened to what I wanted on my wedding day. She made me look so beautiful! I would highly recommend!

Donna Rae is amazing, she does the no make up make up look to perfection. I felt like “me” on my wedding day and it lasted all day/night. Her energy is so positive- the exact person you want in your corner for your special day. I’m so glad I was connected to her by chance, she listened to my vision and delivered better than I could’ve dreamt of! 

I want to say 1,000 thank yous to Donna Rae and Victoria, for working with me, my 4 bridesmaids, my Mom and my fiancé’s Mom. I’ve never felt more beautiful!! Outside of some brief tears, I only touched up my under eye makeup once.  Everything stayed flawless and my curls held up even when the DJ played some of my favorite songs lol I’d like to highlight Donna Rae’s use of high quality products and her amazing ability to enhance your features, without overshadowing your natural beauty. I do not wear false lashes, but I wanted them for my wedding. She took her time in finding the right lashes and asked my opinion every step of the way.  She’s also genuinely kind and easy to talk to! For more makeup inspiration, find her on Instagram (makeupbydonnarae) Victoria is the hair style goddess! In the days leading up to my wedding, I re-read her tips and advice from her Instagram (artistrybyvictoria). I wanted to give her the best “hair pallet” to work with, and ensure my hair was giving its best for the hair style we selected. I really appreciate Victoria expressing her opinions when it came to the half up-half down style I wanted. Thanks to her expertise, my hair stayed in place all the way to our send-off…through dancing, wardrobe change and a run-through when we left our reception.  I am BEYOND satisfied with their work and grateful to book with them.  I also want to extend a special thank you on behalf of my sister. Just before the ceremony she was a little emotional and told me “I feel so beautiful, so feminine and I’m just so excited to be here” She was so radiant and she never stopped smiling.  Donna Rae and Victoria, I’m so thankful for your time and the incredible work you put into my day.

I’ve heard of so many makeup horror stories on wedding days and this will NOT happen if you go with Donna Rae. She spent the time to make sure each individual lash was separated and formed seamlessly into the fake lashes. As a perfectionist, watching her work was so satisfying. She didn’t leave a single detail out. Working with her and Victoria as a team was so seamless.

Donna Rae and Victoria made me feel so special on my wedding day! They truly are amazing artists. Donna Rae is a very skilled makeup artist. She makes sure to match the makeup to my skin tone. She even put sparkles in my makeup! I met her at Nordstroms in Bellevue Square where she works at Dior and I knew immediately that she was going to be fabulous. Victoria did wonders to my hair. My hair does not usually corporate but she made it work and my hair stayed in all night long! They both are such amazing artists and I would hire them again and again. They bent over backwards for me and got all of us ready by 11:00am. Everyone looked stunning and the photos are perfect. I am truly grateful for this! They are a blessing to work with! They are also just such nice and kind hearted people. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Photo credit to Amanda Waller Studio (@amandawaller_studio)
