    Wonderful Experience

    Donna Rae and Victoria were amazing! From communication when I first reached out to the trial to the wedding everything was seamless. As the bride my makeup and hair were exactly what I wanted (and more!) and all of my bridesmaids/MOH/mothers looked amazing too! Can’t recommend them enough for your wedding!

    Amazing experience!!

    We had such a great experience with Donna Rae and Victoria for my sisters wedding! They followed exactly what people were envisioning and completely blew our expectations! They made sure each and every person was perfect before they left and as the maid of honor, was so happy with my hair and makeup look. Not only are they incredibly skilled and professional, but so sweet and easy to work with. We were doing all the hair and makeup in a small room and they were easy to chat with, fun, and engaged. I would absolutely recommend hiring them for a wedding!!!

    Wedding Makeup!!

    DonnaRae was wonderful to work with! She made me feel so glam, while still looking like myself, which is exactly what I wanted. My make-up was PERFECT! My whole bridal party and mom loved their make-up as well!

    Extremely picky and she succeeded my expectations

    Donna did an amazing job on my makeup. I used to do wedding makeup and am extremely picky on how my makeup is done but she nailed it and I didn’t have to change anything.

    Talented beauty professionals

    I booked Donna Rae and Victoria for my wedding in August 2023. They were both true professionals and skilled in what they do. I was pleased with the communication throughout the process of signing the contract, booking my trial, and everything leading up to the big day. All the verbal communication was also followed with email/texts to help make sure I had the details right in my memory. I am also not a hair and makeup person, so the beauty part of the wedding was the most overwhelming part for me and that is why I appreciated having their expertise. On the wedding day, they were both on time and stuck to our timeline with a good system to complete all the hair and makeup for my sisters, maid of honor, and mother of the groom/bride. My group was happy with all the hair and makeup and appreciative that touch ups were allowed also. I would highly recommend Donna Rae and Victoria if you are looking for two professionals that can ensure you have a smooth process for your hair and makeup.

    Princess for a day!!!

    Victoria and Donna Rae are amazing!! Before the wedding, Victoria helped me figure out the best accessories to put in my hair. Donna Rae made some great recommendations for my skin care routine. We planned to get married in August to avoid rain on our wedding day, but of course it rained anyway… We still held the ceremony outside and afterwards you couldn’t even tell, my hair and makeup held up through water, wind, and dancing into the night. One of my bridesmaids loved their work so much she asked to add on services for herself! Thank you for everything ladies

    Look no further for your hair and makeup team!

    Victoria and Donna Rae are fantastic! No need to look further for your hair and makeup team! They are so wonderful to talk with (don’t overlook this part of your wedding planning! You’ll be spending half your day with them!), are the best at their trade, and were very reasonably priced. Everyone looked so amazing, and they really took time to make sure you’re comfortable with the final result. Victoria took a lot of care to discuss my hair type and what was realistic with me. I’m a semi makeup-minimalist in real life, and Donna Rae was able to make me feel like a super model without feeling like my skin was bogged down. Additionally, I have a weird reaction to eye products and she was so gracious to use the off the beaten path product that I’ve found doesn’t cause any issues.

    Effortless and Exquisite

    Victoria and Donna Rae did an incredible job for our group!

    Working with Victoria felt so effortless. She put together the schedule for the hair and make-up order and send out thorough procedural reminders that I could easily forward to my bridal party, which was a huge weight off my shoulders.

    Since I was an out-of-town bride, I didn’t have time to do a hair or make-up trial, but Victoria worked with me to assess styles would work for my hair. She was able to create a beautiful up-do based on an inspiration photo and work around my under-cut. The style stayed intact all night, standing up the wind and my dancing (not an easy feat for my hair texture). I was so pleased with the natural glowing looks that Donna Rae was able to provide for all my ladies.

    Everyone in the bridal party felt special and taken care of. Each person had a style they suited their personality and looked cohesive. The confidence that radiated from each woman after leaving Victoria and Donna Rae had finished was absolutely priceless.

    Make up artist for bride and bridesmaids

    DonnaRae was amazing and accommodated everything I needed even with last minute changes before my wedding and did so professionally and with such kindness. She was so personable, professional, and made me feel valued as a client. She made me feel beautiful on the most important day of my life. I would recommend her to anyone that needs a professional for any occasion. She definitely was worth every dime paid. Thank you so much DonnaRae!

    Wedding Make Up

    Donna did an amazing job. She was very receptive to suggestions and did a great job replicating what I wanted and making it work for me. She was responsive and prompt. I highly recommend her for your make up needs.

    Highly recommend!

    I was so happy to have Victoria and Donna Rae on wedding day. They helped me to feel calm and confident I was in good hands; allowing me to just enjoy the moments of getting ready. We did a trial and they listened to my feedback in order to ensure that the look felt just right for wedding day. On wedding day when the hair pieces was not as expected, they sprung into action problem solving and finding a solution that allowed both myself and sister to achieve the desired look with flowers in our hair. They truly went above and beyond, making it clear their priority is for you to feel your best on your big day. Thank you!!

    Adventure elopement hair and makeup

    Donna Rae and Victoria made my adventurous elopement a dream come true. They did my hair and makeup for both a sunset ceremony and a very early sunrise photoshoot. I really appreciated their professionalism, punctuality, and attention to detail. I quite literally have never looked better than I did on my wedding day thanks to them. My hair and makeup lasted through happy tears during the ceremony and while hiking around our elopement location in the heat. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a team to take on an adventurous elopement.

    Makeup by Donna Rae

    Donna Rae and her team did such an amazing, beautiful job. They were on time and very efficient. Each bridesmaid absolutely loved their hair and makeup. It was a very hot day in Seattle, but I must say everyone that got their hair and makeup done by Donna Rae still looked like a Queen! Our makeup stayed on all night and I felt so beautiful as the bride. I highly recommend Donna Rae for your wedding day!!!

    Destination wedding bridal hair and makeup

    Donna Rae & Victoria are a very talented duo, I am very grateful that I used them for wedding hair & makeup! I had a few ideas/requests, but trusted their artistic talents to create the perfect look and they nailed it! They were great with communication, transparent, easygoing, and they made me feel valued despite using their skills for just one person. I drove from out of state just for the trial and it was worth the peace of mind to know how beautiful they were going to help me look/feel for my wedding day. Thank you!!

    Bridal make up trial

    Donna Rae is an artist!! She incorporated my daughter’s preferences after discussing her inspiration photos and advising what would work best with her facial features. Donna Rae is clearly an expert at analyzing faces to bring out the best. The end result was beautiful - totally glowing natural glam that put the focus on the bride not the makeup! Donna Rae is also a skin care expert and her recommendations for a pre-wedding skin care regimen were greatly appreciated. I can’t wait for the big day!

    Perfect wedding hair and makeup

    Donna Rae and her partner Victoria did an absolutely incredible job with my wedding makeup. I had a large bridal party (and an anxious mother) and they accommodated us all with such grace and artistry. Our makeup and hair stayed perfectly all night, even on the sweaty dance floor. Highly, highly recommend this team!

    Donna Rae and Victoria helped me and the wedding party ladies look and feel amazing on the big day! They were professional, responsive and knew exactly what they were doing before the wedding and on the wedding day.

    Don't hesitate - book now!

    Donna Rae and Victoria did a beautiful job on my makeup (bride), my mom's (MOB) and my maid of honor! She was prompt, professional, stylish, fun, and my makeup looked EXACTLY like my inspo photos, even though I'd never even done a trial because we came from out of town - I was so impressed! Also it should be said that I was so stressed throwing a pandemic wedding that I forgot to book HMU until a month before (oops!) and Donna Rae came through for me, making time before driving all afternoon and evening to be at ANOTHER wedding across the state. She didn't have to do that I'm sure - and it meant a lot to me that she fit me in. She was completely focused, chatted with me and my bridal party and kept it light and breezy, and finished right on schedule even though my mom was literally an hour late. Made my wedding morning completely stress free, I looked understated and beautiful at my wedding without having to touch up ONCE, and felt listened to and cared for throughout the experience. Couldn't ask for anything more!

    Fantastic!

    Donna Rae and Victoria did a wonderful job on my wedding day. My bridal party and I showed them some reference pictures and they made it happen. Our hair and makeup stayed looking beautiful the entire night and we all got so many compliments. So glad we got to work with such a talented and professional team!
