Dawn Johnson made me look better than I ever thought I could look with very little guidance and no trial (I missed my appointment). Because I'd had some cancellations, I had to hire Makeup Couture and Dawn at the last minute. I went on trust, that she knew exactly what she was doing and she far surpassed my expectations, showed up on time, was very professional, and made me look stunning on my wedding day. I only told her I wanted to look glamorous, like Old Hollywood. That's very broad and nonspecific, but she got it. What I got was elegant makeup and contouring that emphasized my best features, but what my guests saw was the features not the makeup. My eyes looked large, dark and glossy, like photos of Hollywood actresses that I've envied. She put double false eyelashes on me, but I didn't feel them after a few minutes and they were so realistic nobody realized they were false. The foundation was flawless, youthful and dewy with beautiful highlighting and contouring. I'm plus sized but her makeup actually made my face look thinner. I showed up with clean, dry hair and she gave me an elegant, half-up do that complimented my bridal hat and lasted the entire ceremony. As previously stated, this all happened on the fly, with very little preparation. I wouldn't recommend going without a trial run for any other bride (it's too rattling to the nerves), but it's nice to know there's a professional out there who will step up when she has to. And the price was totally reasonable too! #completelypleased

Dawn saved the day! After needing to cancel my services with another vendor at the last minute, I found MakeupCouture on WeddingWire and contacted Dawn. Her hair and makeup services were absolutely perfect for our wedding day in Atlanta. She came to our home and did bridal and bridal party hair and makeup that everyone raved about, and was so nice throughout the entire process, including our trials. She was competitively priced, communicated with me throughout the entire process, and was always professional. I've never felt more beautiful than I did that day, and Dawn played a huge role in helping me feel like I was the prettiest bride ever! The compliments on her work were overwhelming, and I would definitely recommend her services to anyone that asked.

Dawn did my hair and makeup and the hair for my four bridesmaids. Throughout the entire process, she was super flexible ( I had to change my services) and helpful in answering all my questions. The morning of the wedding she had a calming and professional attitude. This made the hectic stressful morning just that much easier. My bridesmaids hair looked amazing and I felt and looked absolutely beautiful! I would recommend Dawn to anyone and everyone. She is amazing!

I was extremely apprehensive about doing this photo shoot because I can be painstakingly shy, but Dawn not only made me feel comfortable, but also made me look AMAZING in photos! She knew exactly what angles to shoot me at and gave me tons of tips. When I saw the final photos I was blown away, and let's just say my husband definitely approved!
Added bonus: Amanda did my makeup and I looked like a freaking model! Professional makeup is definitely a must for this.

Where do I even begin!! Dawn did the most amazing job during our photography session. She has this way of making you feel incredibly comfortable, but confident and sexy at the same time. I was enamored to see the finished product - the photos were so beautiful.

Dawn is awesome! She does an exquisite job at make-up, hair and boudoir photos! I recommend her and will use her again in the future for a different stage of life for her to capture on paper!

Dawn was absolutely wonderful to work with! I was really nervous about doing boudoir pictures for my fiance's wedding present because I am usually pretty shy when it comes to doing anything sexy. I originally hired Dawn to do my hair and makeup on my wedding day, but when I also heard that she took boudoir photos I knew that I was definitely going to do them because of how comfortable and relaxed she made me feel! She is non-judge mental and extremely laid back, which made me feel really calm while taking the photos. She gave me a lot of direction of what to do, since half the time I had no idea how to pose. The photos turned out absolutely amazing and my fiance (now husband) loved them! If you are thinking about doing photos I would highly recommend Dawn!

Love love Dawn and her associate! There were 9 of us and we finished on time! All the bride's maids love their hair and their make up. I think it really helped that we knew what we wanted, gave her pictures before the wedding week and she executed them perfectly! I also love the idea that she did my trial make up for my dinner rehearsal so i was made up even then! I also wanted her to do my hair in such a way I can have a different look for my reception. She showed my maid of honor what pins to remove and viola... second look for the reception! Also one of my mom's friend needed help with her hair and she was able to accomodate her as well. She was very pleasant and easy going. Im so happy I got her for my wedding :)

Dawn & her team did an amazing job on not only my hair & makeup but also my entire bridal party's! She helped me decide how I should do my hair with my type of hair when I was indecisive, and it turned out better than I could have imagined! Our makeup was flawless too! It lasted all day and night! I'm trying to think of excuses to use her again. I would recommend her to anyone!

Dawn is very gifted and professional. She arrived right on time for our very early 5:30 am session before my morning wedding. She is very good with airbrush makeup and made me look gorgeous! Also I highly recommend getting the hair extensions even if you have long hair. It will bulk it up and make it beautiful. I loved my extensions and hair on the big day ! Get a trial too so you can get ideas! I highly recommend her. Hire her today! She books fast!
