    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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

    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!!

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    Beautiful Makeup & Professional Service

    Donna did a beautiful job with my makeup, as well as my bridesmaids and my mother. She is truly a professional: on time, quality products, gentle, communicates, & listens to what you want. She is a joy to work with and my pictures turned out beautifully.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!!
