    August wedding

    Donna did my makeup and hair for myself and my wedding party a few years back.Fantastic experience. Everyone looked beautiful, like themselves, only enhanced by expertly applied makeup. Hair was all updos and not a single hair out of place for the entire day and it was an August hazy, hot and humid day. I loved my experience so much that I became a hair client. No one does color and cuts as well as Donna. I have naturally curly hair and she understands curls and how to work them to their fullest potential. If you have curly hair you know exactly what I mean. Check out her portfolio on her website, don't hesitate to book with her for your special day.

    I’d give Donna 100 stars if I could!

    Donna and her team are simply the best—hands down. My daughter, sister, daughter-in-law, and I were beautifully enhanced with the most gorgeous hair and makeup. We received so many compliments that I was afraid the bride would be upset! lol

    Pics of my daughter’s and my hair and makeup. Note that this pic of me is after 12 hours of crying, dancing and eating!

    If you’re fortunate enough to find space in her calendar, snatch it up. Her schedule is usually booked with show-biz clients worldwide, but she loves doing weddings, so whenever she’s home in RI, she’ll book a few. We felt incredibly lucky she was available, and she treated us like family from our very first conversation. I can’t recommend her highly enough. I’d give her 100 stars if I could.

    Absolutely amazing!

    I had the most incredible experience. I allowed Donna to do what she felt best for my features and I was not disappointed! She also just made me feel so special and amazing the entire time I was in her chair. I couldn't say nicer things about my experience.

    An Amazing Experience With Makeup Artistry!!!

    Donna and Ratina were an absolute dream team for my wedding day. From the moment they arrived—on time and completely prepared—they brought such professionalism, warmth, and calm energy to the room. They made everyone feel so comfortable and confident, from my bridesmaids to our sweet flower girl.
    Their work was truly stunning. Everyone looked and felt beautiful, and I couldn’t have been happier with how everything turned out. My makeup and hair lasted all night, and I still felt like me—just the most radiant version possible!
    What really touched me was the care they showed even after we left for the ceremony. They took the time to clean up our wedding suite so I wouldn’t come back to a mess at the end of the night. That kind of thoughtfulness says so much about who they are, both as artists and as people.
    I would recommend Makeup Artistry to absolutely anyone looking for talented, kind, and professional hair and makeup artists. They helped make my wedding morning stress-free and unforgettable!

    Makeover Artistry is all you’ll ever need!

    I hunted for months to find somebody who could help me and my bridal party feel gorgeous, but I had absolutely no idea where to begin. After a few other makeup artists just missed the mark with us, we finally found Donna and Ratina. When I tell you everything from the initial text message to our big day was perfect, I mean it. She answered every question, responded to every message quickly, and made all of us feel so incredibly beautiful. She is a no pressure, purely professional expert in her craft, and Tina is the wizard behind the braids. Donna is also my new hairdresser, and I couldn’t be happier!

    Glowing on wedding day!

    I can’t thank Donna, Tina, and Diana enough! After a disappointing trial with another company, they truly saved the day. From the start, they listened to exactly what I wanted during the trial and I didn’t have to change a thing! They remembered the look at my trial and they made me feel amazing on my wedding day. Not only did they make me feel beautiful, but my bridesmaids were glowing too! Very talented and great communication! I’m so grateful they were part of my big day. Highly recommend!

    Donna is the Sweetest and the best in the business!

    I love referring Donna to our clients. I have for almost 20 years. Donna is organized, and always plans accordingly. Donna is lovely and sweet in nature, yet direct and well managing of her team. She has the knowledge and experience to bring out the best in all of her clients and I have personally seen her work under pressure, and in difficult positions without feeling or projecting it. I look forward to working with Donna again and again in the future! Here's to absolute beauty Donna!

    Excellent Experience!

    Donna and Ratina did a fabulous job on me and my girls. Donna is very passionate about her job and it shows. She will give you great advice to keep your skin hydrated until the big day and connect you with great resources. Even my mom who is typically very picky with makeup, loved her look. The makeup lasted and everyone complimented how beautiful everyone looked. Please trust Donna. Can’t recommend her enough!

    5 Stars – Incredible Experience!

    We had such an amazing experience with Makeover Artistry! From the very beginning, they were organized, responsive, and professional. On the wedding day, they styled the entire bridal party exactly how we requested — every hairstyle was flawless and matched each person’s vision perfectly. They were also super efficient, which kept everything on schedule without feeling rushed. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would highly recommend to any bride looking for a calm, talented, and dependable stylist to make their day even more special. Thank you again for everything!

    10/10 Hair & Makeup

    Donna and her team are the epitome of professionalism and class. Donna, Tina, and Melissa provided hair and makeup for my November 2024 wedding. Donna is amazing at managing a schedule for a large wedding party. We had 11 girls getting hair and makeup done, all before 12pm, and Donna didn’t even cut it close on the timeline! She truly has her work down to a science. And the results were simply perfect. Donna and her team have an uncanny ability to bring out the natural beauty in each bride, bridesmaid, mother, and grandmother. I was especially appreciative of Donna’s patience and responsiveness toward my grandmother, who isn’t super comfortable with makeup. Everyone in my wedding party was thrilled with how they looked. I, as the bride, could not be happier with how my hair and makeup came out, both in person on the day of and in photos that will last a lifetime. I cannot recommend Donna and her team enough!

    My son's Wedding at The Branch Line Restaurant

    This was the first time using a professional make-up and hair stylist for an event. Did not know what to expect but was extremely happy with the final results. Recently received the professional photos back and saw how beautiful we all looked who had had the opportunity to have this lovely service.

    Cannot recommend Donna enough!

    I’ve been remised in writing this review but don’t let that reflect Donna’s work.
    I found Donna and her team in June for an August wedding. The fact that it was so last minute did not phase her at all, the professionalism and flexibility was incredible.

    I was able to have my make up trial the day of bridal shower, Donna made me feel and look beautiful for all my Bridal events. The wedding was no exception. All my bridesmaids and my mother were absolutely glowing. Everyone was able to express themselves through their hair and make up while still looking cohesive with the group as a whole.

    Highly recommend for all future events !

    Wedding Makeup Bliss with Donna Sousa Makeup Artistry!!

    Donna is an absolute visionary as it comes to makeup, and truly has a talent for making every person look the most beautiful for any occasion! I loved spending time with her, and we had so much fun at my trial run and on my wedding day!

    As it comes to wedding makeup, Donna is award winning ame exceptional at her craft. Not only did she make me and all my bridesmaids feel beautiful, but she demonstrated a personalized touch and true vision in her approach to makeup. What sets her apart is how she shares her expertise - offering helpful tips and techniques that can be used for any occasion. Her attention to detail and ability to bring out each client's natural beauty makes her stand out, and takes direction based on what each person wants. I highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a makeup artist who combines technical skill, years of expertise, best in class technique and a ton of fun on your wedding day! Donna is an award winning stylist, and truly the best makeup artist (and hair dresser- my new hair dresser permanently!) in all of Boston and Rhode Island!

    Also the hair dresser that Donna brought in, Ratina, is truly the most talented special events hair stylist I or any of my friends have ever experienced. Ratina spent an hour on my wedding hair, found the perfect match for my hair for my extensions and made every single person in my wedding party look absolutely gorgeous!

    Thank you for everything Donna, I truly couldn’t be more grateful for making us all look GORGEOUS and made my wedding makeup and hair something out of my dreams!

    Donna and Ratina were amazing!

    Donna and Ratina did a great job on my wedding! They did hair and makeup for myself, six people in my wedding party, and my mother. They got us all done on time, stress free. We got tons of compliments on our hair and makeup. They did exactly what we asked for. We all felt beautiful. Donna and Ratina were also responsive to my questions and communicative the weeks leading up to my wedding which I very much appreciated.

    Most beautiful day!

    I was a very last-minute bride and I hadn’t really thought about Makeup. I did my research. I Read her reviews and thought there is no way I will get this woman for August 3 of 2024! I called Donna and her team last minute And not only did she fit us in but she made my entire day. She listened to every one of my ideas. I didn’t want to look overdone and she is just pure magic. Aside from the fact that they are obviously incredibly professional and amazing at what they do, Donna made sure every detail was perfect. She even touched up my 83-year-old father-in-law’s eyebrows much to all of our Surprise and laughter. Donna you honestly made my day! ❤️❤️ I’m even going to go back to her for makeup lessons.

    My wedding 2024

    Donna did my hair and makeup for my wedding on February 24th 2024 and she did an amazing job! I was worried about my hair coming loose while dancing or my makeup smudging but she took care of all of that! I was carefree the whole day! I wanted natural makeup and she did exactly that, she covered up my red spots and made me look glowy which was exactly what I wanted! I got so many compliments on my hair! I truly felt like a fairy princess, not to mention how sweet and fun Donna is to talk to! I would recommend her to anyone I meet!

    Flexible and attentive team

    The team listened to the wants and needs of each member of the party resulting in perfect hair and make up. At last minute there were two additional women who needed their services which they accommodated. Everyone had different skin tones and hair types but all were beautifully and professionally handled. Will definitely use Donna Sousa if I ever need professional make up again.

    Trust Donna

    I highly recommend Donna. I have one important thing to say, Trust Donna and her team!!
    A little about me. Donna has been doing my hair and highlights for years. She loves long hair. But I don’t wear makeup. Being the mother of bride and I needed make up that would hold up to tears of joy and the long day of hugs and kisses from family. I had so many compliments on how gorgeous I looked. Thank you so much Donna! My daughter Bella the beautiful bride had been so stressed her face broke out. But Donna made her look flawless. So natural. It was my beautiful daughter. She looked like a magazine cover. But it didn’t look like she had any makeup on. Just a natural beauty. Oh and definitely do a bridal trial!! She recommended highlights and a hair cut. It was all crooked and had a chunk of hair missing in the back. Donna fixed her hair. It just all came together. Just Trust Donna!! She is a professional! Oh and one more thing… Trust Donna!

    Donna and Krystal did our hair and make up for my wedding and they were fabulous! You can tell they are knowledgeable in the field and fun to get ready with! We had so many compliments on the hair and makeup all throughout the night. Both Donna and Krystal did an amazing job of enhancing our natural features without over doing it. 10/10 would recommend again!

    10/10 would recommend

    On my wedding day, I wanted to be elegant and only enhance my natural features. Coming from someone who has not always been confident in my look, Donna was able to deliver exactly what I wanted while also making feel the most beautiful I have ever felt! While maintaining and actually improving the health of my skin, delivered a natural make up look while enhancing all my features. Donna is a firecracker and there is never a dull moment with her. She will make you feel like you have known her your whole life and always have your best interest at heart. She has an amazing team behind her as well to help her out on the big day. Our hair dresser Tina was nothing short of amazing. While she works fast, she was able to recreate all my bridesmaids’ hair inspirations and put her own personal twist on it. I will be continuing to be a client in the future for hair as she does an amazing job herself. Thank you so much Donna for giving me the wedding look of my dreams ❤️

    Loved my wedding look!

    Donna and her stylists who were on site at my wedding (Marianne for hair and Alana for makeup) were absolutely fantastic from the trial through the wedding! They are clearly experts - I was struggling to figure out how the timing of everything should work, but I didn't need to worry, they had everything under control - they were even able to add the flower girls at the last minute. My hair turned out far and away beyond my wildest dreams, even after all of the time I spent on Instagram and Pinterest looking at different styles - she got exactly what I wanted and made it even better - and seemed just as excited about it as I was! Makeup was also fantastic, I especially loved my eyes. I would absolutely recommend Makeover Artistry for your wedding or other special event!

    10/10, 5 stars for Donna & her team

    After having to reschedule my anniversary photos a few times, I can say that is was well worth the wait in working with Donna’s team. Melisa did my hair and makeup and I cannot say enough good things about her work. She was so friendly, her professionalism was outstanding and she carried out my vision better than I could’ve imagined. You cannot go wrong in booking with Donna and her team - they are truly experts at what they do! I’ll be keeping them in mind for future needs and referring them to everyone!

    Found the perfect one for my wedding day!!

    Donna is so professional and she did a wonderful job. I was looking for a perfect make up artist for my skin and when I did the trial with her it was perfect, she did the make up accordingly to my face. On the wedding day, my bridal make up was so beautiful. Everyone loved it!!!! She is the best!!!

    Donna is outstanding!

    As the mother of the bride, I am eternally grateful Donna Sousa was available for my daughter’s wedding. This is the first wedding for my family and as my only daughter, I wanted this part to be very special and memorable for her. After scrolling through many bridal stylist sites and leaving messages and actually making an appointment for a trial, something made me scroll through the Wedding Wire and Knot sites again. Donna’s website popped up for the first time and after seeing all her work experiences, accolades, and excellent reviews, I called Donna with every fingers crossed. What a relief when she told me not only is she available, but she will be providing the service!! From the first phone call to the day of the wedding, Donna was very professional, calm, communicative, down to earth, open to ideas, accommodating, and very supportive, and understanding. It was one aspect of the wedding my daughter and I didn’t worry about at all. When we went for our make up and hair trials, my daughter and I had such a fun time. Donna knew the shades of make up to use based on our skin tones and even used the airbrush which is new to us. Tina created a masterpiece with our hair blending styles from pictures and respecting our expectations. With my thinning hair, Tina added hair extensions which was a surprise and created such an amazing and intricate hairstyle that I have never seen and imagine having for the wedding. My trial make up even stayed on beyond 24 hrs as Donna bragged which was so true because I didn’t reapply when my husband and I went to our anniversary dinner the next day. After our trial experiences, my daughter and I knew we were very lucky to have Donna and Tina as our bridal hair and make up artists!
    Besides being our professional artist, Donna was a life saver when I needed to find a seamstress for my mom’s and my dress (which needed a lot of adjustments). Everyone I called was all booked and I was in complete panic! She connected me with one which she had highly recommended and miraculously was available. Is there anything Donna can’t do??? Nope!!
    The morning of the wedding, Donna and Tina worked very well together and were completely organized getting 10 ladies ready for the big day. The bridesmaids were happy that they didn’t have to do their own make up and hair since they don’t normally wear a lot of make up and style their hair mostly in pony tails (as pharmacists). My mom and mother in law felt so special as well like they were the “queens of the ball”! When everyone was done and we were all dressed, we all looked so radiant and gorgeous! My daughter had a huge smile on her face and was so elated which is all I ever wished for on her wedding day. She was the most beautiful bride in the whole world! We received many compliments from the guests…even the word “hot” was used! Donna and Tina are 2 precious people that will make every bride’s dream come true…to feel and look like a princess bride on her special day!

    Donna is THE BEST!!!!

    Donna has done my makeup throughout my whole wedding process. The engagement session, all the trials, etc. she was always so sweet and always on time! She is very communicative and flexible. She and her crew had 11 girls to do the day of my wedding and they came at the time they said they would be there and were done in the time they said they would be. She and her crew made everyone look and feel absolutely beautiful. We received so many compliments and the makeup and hair lasted throughout the night into the next day. Donna recently did my hair/makeup for a wedding I was attending as a guest and she did such an amazing job. Whether you’re getting married or just need your makeup done for an event, Donna is your go-to! 10/10 the best in makeup/hair/personality/professionalism/promptness!!!! Thank you so much ❤️

    Don't hesitate -- hire Donna! Above and beyond for her clients

    Donna Sousa was an absolute dream to have as our wedding hair and makeup artist. From the moment we connected, she made me feel incredibly comfortable and at ease, which is precisely what every bride needs on their special day. Donna's artistry truly shone as she worked her magic on not just me but also our large bridal group, crafting unique and stunning looks that perfectly complemented each of our individual styles. Her responsiveness, helpfulness, and kindness throughout the entire process were remarkable. What sets Donna apart is her unwavering dedication to ensuring her brides look and feel their absolute best. She proved this when she accompanied us to the venue for touch-ups and saved the day after an unexpected bout of rain threatened our hair. In addition to her exceptional talent and service, Donna offers tremendous value for money, making her an absolute steal compared to others in the industry. I can't recommend Donna enough; she is an absolute joy to work with and made our wedding day truly special. THANK YOU DONNA

    Great experience

    Had a great experience with Donna and Tina. My airbrush makeup held up all night through the endless dancing! My curled hair held up well through my indoor ceremony, but once we stepped foot in Newport humidity my curls mostly came out. That's the risk of wearing an all down style in RI humidity! No fault to the stylist, that's just how my hair works and I knew that going into it. It still looked great in most of my pictures! Both the mothers and my bridesmaids loved their makeup and hair as well!

    Gorgeous work and professionalism at its finest

    Donna is an incredible artist who is easy to talk to, a great listener, and willing to take feedback about your wedding makeup wants and needs. Since I don't wear makeup everyday, Donna worked with me to plan an additional bridal trial to modify the makeup she had done from the first round, so I had a better understanding of the process and what colors/looks were the best for my skin and dress. After recommending a hydrating skin facial, I followed her advice and my makeup went on even better the day of the wedding! She is the epitome of professionalism and skill. As for hair, I worked with Ratina, an incredible hair stylist. After a few Pintrest photos, she was able to make my wedding hair vision even better than I expected! If she recommends hair extensions (she'll put them in for you and dye them to your hair color), DO IT! You keep them afterwards, but my thin hair could not hold a curl and the extensions were critical for holding the curl and making the look complete. I cannot thank Donna and Ratina enough for making me feel comfortable and beautiful on my wedding day! Their work ethic and attention to detail is second to none; you will not be disappointed.

    Wonderful Hair and Makeup

    Donna Sousa's team was wonderful to work with. Donna was very quick to respond to email and phone. Annie and McKenzie did an amazing job on hair and makeup for me (the bride) and all of my girls. They exceeded my expectations- I absolutely loved how I looked in every picture, and lasted the whole night!

    Look No Further - Highly Recommended!

    Donna provided my bride tribe and I with the most amazing artist and quality makeup. Until now, I never liked getting mine done. Makeover Artistry has changed my outlook, and are who I will be contacting for any event moving forward. The makeup matched my aesthetic and color scheme, made me feel bright and beautiful, and was the perfect amount of glitz and glam. All the girls looked so stunning thanks to Christina, Donna and her amazing team. Look no further - highly recommended to make your day just that much more special!

    Amazing & professional

    Donna and her team are exceptional! They provided their services in a professional manner. My hair and make up lasted all night into the next day! I opted for false lashes and was a bit apprehensive at first. Once the glue dried, I could not feel them at all and they stayed on all night. I would.highly recommend Donna and her team for your wedding or special event.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    I was blown away with Donna's amazing talents at my makeup trial, and I was so excited to have her at the wedding! Donna did the makeup for my bridesmaids, mum and mother-in law and everyone absolutely loved their makeup! Donna also did my makeup for my welcome party, and it was absolutely stunning! She stayed the entire day of the wedding making sure she did touchups throughout the day and some makeup tweaks for the reception. Ratina was our lovely hair artist for the day and did a fabulous job!!!! I couldn't recommend them more! Thank you both so much!!

    Outstanding

    All I can say is that Donna is amazing!!!! I needed my makeup done for my wedding and I feel so lucky to have connected with her. I found her on her website and when I spoke to her, she made me feel very special and was interested in every detail so I could look and feel my best for the day. Her skills and expertise are unparalleled and she transformed me into a true queen for the day. I will be going to her for my hair and makeup needs from this day forward. If you want to look your best, go to Donna, she won’t disappoint.

    Amazing Experience

    Donna and Ratina (hair) were INCREDIBLE for my sister's wedding in Newport. The day was gloomy and they were so upbeat and happy to be part of the occasion. It was an Indian wedding and Donna has about 8 people to do. They came on time and stayed after for touch ups. The airbrush was beautiful, it lasted very long. Donna took her time to put on eyelashes, match our skin tones to the makeup and make sure we felt truly beautiful. They worked extremely hard, have great communication and made the whole experience perfect for everyone involved. They were able to stay and schedule as well which was a huge plus. I recommend them for anyone who is planning a wedding!! I got several compliments on my maid of honor hair and makeup which photographed beautifully.

    Thank you so much Donna and team. You are all insanely talented!

    Donna is really wonderful at what she does!! She did makeup for myself and my bridal party for my wedding on 10/08/2022 and everyone was so happy with how they looked all night. The airbrush technique Donna uses really makes you look flawless! The duo of Donna and Ratina for hair was just perfect. I am so appreciative of both of them for working so hard to make the morning of the wedding so enjoyable! Highly recommend.

    Above and beyond!

    We hired Donna and her team to do the hair and makeup for my daughter’s wedding. The trial went so well, and my daughter spoke so glowingly of Donna, that I couldn’t wait to meet her on wedding morning. She did not disappoint!! She arrived bight and early, exactly as she promised, and did makeup for me, my daughter, and 6 bridesmaids. When asked that morning to add an additional family member, Donna graciously and happily agreed. She was so warm and personable and clearly so very talented. The makeup for each and every one of us was flawless! I received more compliments at the reception than I can count! She even came to the venue to ensure that our hair and makeup stayed perfect. She was our angel! As a mother, you want your daughter’s wedding day to be the most perfect day of her life. For us it was - and Donna played an important part in that. Brides - you will LOVE working with her. And mothers of brides - you will rest easy knowing your daughter will look and feel her absolute beautiful best on her special day!!!

    Simply the best

    Donna and her team are beyond phenomenal. From the initial inquiry, lead up to trial, trial, and entire wedding day, Donna and her team made everything seamless, fun, and extremely memorable for myself, my family, and bridesmaids. Donna is amazing at what she does and takes her work very seriously. Everyone was floored with their makeup- she does exquisite work while still making you feel like yourself. She stayed throughout our first look and came to the ceremony for touch ups which is absolutely above and beyond. She’s also a joy to be around and feels like family. I felt like a true queen on my wedding day and will call Donna whenever I have a special event. We had a total blast with Donna and team and cannot recommend her more highly!!

    I am so honored and blessed to have met you and your beautiful family! We give 100% to all of our brides whether it is myself the day of or my amazing talented team. 👩‍🦳🙏🏻🥰💄💋

    Flawless Airbrush Makeup

    Donna did makeup for my wedding on 10-01-22 and my bridal party and I looked flawless all day and night! We received so many compliments. I have had airbrush done in the past that I was unhappy with but Donna knows what she’s doing! She and Maureen (hair stylist) were prompt and got through all of the girls who needed hair and makeup without a hitch. So grateful she had an opening to accommodate us. If you’re looking for someone who knows their stuff, look no further.

    Long Lasting Beauty

    My stepdaughter hired Donna and she did an amazing job! I was skeptical that my makeup would stay that long as she had a lot of girls in her wedding party. Not only was it spectacular but it stayed on perfectly well after midnight. Donna spends time with each person in order to create the perfect look and we all had our own style. I would definitely recommend hiring Donna.

    Beautiful Makeup & Memorable Experience

    Donna and her team did our makeup and hair for my best friend’s wedding in Rhode Island. Donna listened to what I wanted for my makeup and delivered! She has multiple lashes to choose from, high quality makeup products, and was personable and easy to talk to. She has a professional demeanor and uses a strong light to illuminate your face and not miss a detail. My eyes are not huge, but Donna was sure to make my eyes pop and accentuate my features. The bride was stunning and every bridesmaid’s makeup was flawless. I highly recommend Donna and her crew to anyone who wants to look gorgeous for a wedding!

    Natural Glam... Donna's a Magician!

    All I can say is WOW! My future daughter-in-law found Donna to do her bridal parties' makeup, as well as her mom and myself. I'll be honest, I was a little hesitant, as I do not spend a lot of time on doing my makeup myself, and I was worried that I would look 'fake' having professional makeup done. I couldn't have been more wrong! Not only did the girls in the party look amazing, but Donna gave me the "Hollywood Glam" look I was going for (it was a black-tie wedding) while making me feel so natural with it. She really transformed me in a beautiful way. The whole experience was wonderful too. Nice music and gentle conversation to relax you. I highly, highly recommend Donna - she is a real pro!

    Fabulous Makeup Artist

    A few months back I did a wedding makeup trial with Donna and everything was great. I hired Donna to do makeup for my wedding and a few girls in the bridal party. Everyone looked fabulous. I also had Tina on her team do my hair and it was stunning! I loved the way I looked. I received many compliments. I would definitely hire Donna and team again.

    Donna and her team were awesome!

    Donna and her team did an amazing job. Her hair stylist was hands down awesome. I was somewhat high maintenance in that I don't wear a ton of makeup and wanted to feel comfortable and like myself. Donna was extremely responsive and with some open communication from me, she totally got it. I felt like myself but totally radiant! She worked with me while she was putting on the makeup to make sure I was comfortable. And she was funny and easy to talk to.
    My bridesmaids and the mothers of my husband and I also had a great time.
    Donna also judged the timing of everything perfectly and felt passionately about making sure everyone felt beautiful when they left for the church.
    I would highly recommend working with Donna!

    Totally amazing and great experience

    Donna got me ready for my wedding, it was a traditional Indian wedding & she played her magic with her amazing brushes. The look was exactly what I wanted, subtle yet very bridal & well suited for my wedding and reception saree. I have a short hair but yet she managed a very elaborate hairstyle and weaved a beautiful bunch of flowers to compliment my attire. I would highly recommend Donna, you will never be disappointed. She is very professional and I must say a perfectionist, won’t stop until she gets every small thing correct. Simply love her ♥️

    Donna and her team are PHENOMENAL

    Donna and her team were so amazing! I had a disaster dye job done on my hair from another salon, and I immediately called Donna who I had already booked for hair and makeup for our wedding, to see if she could do anything to fix it. She worked some magic and it looked beautiful after! The members on her team did a fabulous job on my and my bridal party’s hair and makeup, everyone looked flawless and we were showered with compliments all night. Absolutely would recommend and use again, and I am going to continue having Donna cut and dye my hair because she is the absolute best!

    Beyond talented with wedding hair and make-up

    Donna is truly a master of her trade. When I needed someone for makeup and hair for my wedding, I reached out to her based on a family friend’s recommendation. After going to her salon for a trial, I knew she was the perfect person for the job. She took the time to get to know me, learn about my style, and my comfort level when it comes to makeup and hair. Day of the wedding Donna and her colleague did a wonderful job on my, my bridal party’s, mother’s, mother in law’s and even grandmother’s hair and makeup. She made everyone feel beautiful and confident. I would highly recommend Donna. No only is she extremely talented, but her kind and calm demeanor is exactly what one needs on a special but stressful day.

    Wonderful experience

    Donna is wonderful. A friend hired Donna for her daughters wedding and was very happy with her so when I was looking for someone to do hair and make up for my daughters wedding I gave Donna a call. My daughter, mother of the groom, and I visited her salon in RI and were very impressed with how she made us look. Despite being from MA my daughters wedding was in NY and Donna and one of her colleagues traveled to NY and spent the day with us getting us ready. Not only did they do our hair and make up at the hotel before we went to the wedding venue, but Donna also traveled to the venue and after photos were taken, Donna retouched everyone's hair and makeup before we walked down the aisle. This is something not many hair/makeup professionals do and it shows how much pride Donna takes in her finished product (the bridal party) and how much she cares for all of us. I would hire Donna again if ever I needed her services and will recommend her to all of my friends!

    Just as wonderful the second time!

    I have worked with Donna twice now. Once for my stepdaughter's wedding five years ago where Donna worked with my mom and I, and then again last weekend for my son's wedding where Donna did the makeup for the entire bridal party. There is no one more talented than Donna. Her ability to transform you, and make you look like an amazing version of yourself is unparalleled. Donna did the entire bridal party and then joined us at the wedding venue for touchups. Everyone looked incredible, especially the beautiful bride. If you're looking for a makeup artist who has great range, works quickly, and listens well, don't hesitate to hire Donna. I did, twice!

    No one is better than Donna!

    Donna Sousa is truly the best. She did my makeup for my brother’s wedding. She knew exactly how do my makeup in the best way for my face and eye shape. Before I left for the wedding I told Donna I had never felt so pretty - and that’s all because of Donna’s talent! I’m only 22 but I know Donna will be doing my wedding makeup one day:) Maureen my hair stylist was also AMAZING!!! Both did my hair & makeup + my mom’s :)

    Hair and makeup- Bride and wedding party

    Very positive experience with Makeover Artistry. Tina (hair) and Marianne (makeup) did such a fabulous job for my bridal look as well as the bridal party.

    Excellent quality, beautiful results

    Donna and Krystal were amazing. I wanted someone who would make me look my best and she excelled. I showed her pictures for my hair and she created what I was looking for. Donna was so personable, it was fun talking with her while she worked. You feel like you're with a friend you've known for years. I completely trusted her expertiece and was not disappointed. I didn't get to do a trial because of covid and she did my makeup perfectly on the day of the wedding. The airbrush and eyelashes made my look, and our pictures look amazing. And I got a lot of complements overall. I would highly recommend Donna if you want someone professional, experienced, and personable to make you feel comfortable for your wedding. She will find the perfect look for you. Thanks Donna!!

    Amazing hair and makeup by Donna and her team!

    We were in a tough situation a few weeks ago when we had to postpone our large wedding ceremony and plan for a smaller ceremony instead. However, even with short notice from a panicked bride-to-be, Donna and her team of extremely talented make up artists and hair specialists stepped in to save the day! Donna arranged everything to make the process of preparing on the day of the wedding so easy and worry-free for me and my bridesmaids. Maryanne, the makeup artist, and Tina, the hair specialist, came to us so we would not have to travel on the day of the wedding and were both so fun to work with! Maryanne and Tina did an outstanding job on our makeup and hair and made us all look so beautiful! I cannot rave enough about the experience we had with Donna, Maryanne and Tina! For anyone looking for help preparing for weddings, proms, a fancy night out or otherwise, please consider Donna and her team! You will not be disappointed!

    Great Wedding Hair and Makeup!

    Donna and Odessa did an amazing job! I met with them for a trial a few weeks before the wedding and they were very receptive to my preferences and requests for different tweaks and took lots of photos so we would have a reference for the actual day. On the wedding day, it was like meeting back up with old friends - Donna quickly and perfectly executed the makeup for me, me wedding party, and some of my family members, despite the challenges of some of us being 'newbies' to getting our makeup done. Odessa did a fantastic job listening to what each person wanted and creating some amazing vintage looks for me and my bridal party. I loved that she would keep working on it until it was exactly what you wanted. Communication and payment was easy and I felt the prices were reasonable for the great quality of work. One really important thing for me was that after a tough family interaction I started crying a lot before the ceremony and I thought for sure all of my makeup would be ruined but everything was still perfect - I only had to reapply lipstick. The fact that we all still looked good at the end of the night was also a nice surprise I didn't expect. We don't have our pro photos yet so these are just from my and my bridal parties camera.

    Awesome Trial !

    After a disappointing first trial elsewhere, I found Donna and she was able to see me right away. Thank goodness, because she really listened to what I was looking for and made me look absolutely beautiful. I could tell she was extremely knowledgeable and experienced in this field. Obviously I booked her right away! I feel so lucky she was still able to travel to me on my wedding day, I’m really looking forward to working with her

    Donna was very knowledgeable about makeup and application, and she explained every step she was doing along the way. She provided me with the opportunity to show her some inspiration pictures, and she met my vision. She also provided great recommendations for products and skincare. I know I can trust her for the big day!

    Highly recommend!

    Found Donna rather last minute as our wedding planning was four weeks from start to I Do. Her bio mentioned a love for working with brides of all ages, including more senior women. Donna responded quickly, fit me into her schedule, and did an amazing job with hair and makeup for both myself and the mother-of-the-bride. I was so pleased with the results that i remain a client today. Highly recommend.

    Donna is an amazing make up artist and she has a gentle soul : )

    I would like to thank Donna Sousa for the fantastic job of making my bridal party look gorgeous for our wedding this past weekend! She did all of our hair and make up flawlessly. It was more than I could have ever hoped for! Not only does Donna know her way around hair and makeup, she is a pro at dealing with difficult mothers and maid of honors with sensitive skin types. I was so anxious and nervous on my wedding day and it was Donna’s caring and calm demeanor that soothed my nerves. We could not have looked this good without you! Thank you Donna! 😘

    Makeover Artistry's reply:

    Thank you !! It was amazing doing your wedding! You are the most beautiful venue with the most gorgeous ocean views. And every aspect was so whimsical and beautiful!💋👍🏻🌹💄

    Amazing!!!!!!!!!

    I would recommend Makeover Artistry to anyone! Donna and her team did an absolutely amazing job! They did hair and makeup for myself and family. Everyone came out absolutely gorgeous and they did such a great job of turning our own personal visions of what we hoped to look like into beautiful realities. I was so happy that Donna was able to do my makeup so that I still looked like myself but also felt absolutely stunning. Her hair stylist was absolutely excellent. We were all so very happy with the styles. I am so grateful that I chose Makeover Artistry for my wedding!

    Makeover Artistry is the perfect choice!

    Donna is so fun and so talented! Makeover artistry provided hair and make up for my bridesmaids, mother, mother-in-law, and myself. She made sure to have enough stylists there to make sure that we were able to stick to the time schedule. Everyone looked great, we were ready on time, and had a great time with makeover artistry. :)

    Donna and her team did a fantastic job for our wedding in Newport, RI this summer. My wife had 8 bridesmaids plus our moms, so there were a lot of people of different ages and looks. Donna kept everyone on schedule, and even stayed late to touch everyone up after pictures while Odessa did a second hairstyle for my wife. Fun, professional team, great experience for our wedding day, and everyone (especially the bride!) looked absolutely beautiful.

    Donna and her team did an amazing job at my wedding this past September! I live in the New York area and got married in Newport, RI, so I had to travel for my trial and work with Donna long-distance to prepare for the big day. She always made our calls a priority, and stayed in close contact with me leading up to the wedding which helped a lot.

    On the actual wedding weekend, I had my hair and makeup done for the rehearsal dinner, along with 8 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and myself for the wedding day. Additionally, I had two hair styles for my wedding day (one for first-look and pictures, one for ceremony and reception), and touch-ups for the bridesmaids/moms before the ceremony. Donna did a fantastic job keeping us on schedule; she and her team were prompt, professional, and a lot of fun to work with. The hair and makeup was beautiful, and I really appreciated that they were willing to go the extra mile and wait for us to finish photos before doing touch-ups and the second hairstyle for the ceremony and reception. I highly recommend working with Donna and her team for your wedding!
