Dana is beyond amazing! I would recommend her to anyone and everyone looking for any kind of makeup service! I felt so beautiful and so did my bridesmaids and moms! None of us wanted to wash our makeup off at the end of the night. She is the sweetest person and she is absolutely incredible at what she does!

Dana is absolutely fantastic. She is very professional, but still fun. She drove to us, which made it nice. It was literally 100 degrees the day I got married, and our make-up still looked just as great at the end of the night, 16 hours later. I would highly recommend Dana, she is the best!!!

Dana is amazing! She is so full of positive energy and great vibes. The talent of who you hire for your wedding day is obviously important, but their attitude and energy is just as an important. As a bride who is already possibly stressed on their wedding day, you need someone who is so upbeat and leaves you with nothing to worry about, and that person is Dana! I have worked with Dana twice, both for my wedding day and for a boudoir shoot, and she was so punctual for both events, came with all the right and professional equipment, and gave me the exact look I was wanting. She made my whole bridal party feel so comfortable as well. Her makeup skills leave you enhancing your natural beauty, not masking it. I was nervous about the airbrush makeup at first, as I did not want to look too "caked," but her technique leaves it so soft and flawless, yet covering all of your imperfections. I cannot say enough positive things about Dana. She is a true gem in this area and gives you a big city feel.

My makeup artist had a last minute emergency so she couldn't do my makeup for a photoshoot. She referred me to Dana and she did an amazing job!
