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. -

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!

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 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 ❤️ -

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! -

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 ❤️ -

Ashton D. Sent on 11/10/2023Loved 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! -

Lauren M. Sent on 09/14/2023Don'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! -

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! -

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! -
