Wafa Rohillah
Wedding Makeup
I had the absolute pleasure of working with Zaniffa for my wedding, and she was nothing short of amazing. She did my makeup, as well as my sister’s and niece’s—and we all felt so beautiful and confident the entire day.
She has such a calming, professional presence, which made the whole getting-ready experience stress-free and actually enjoyable (which, as a bride, I appreciated so much!). She really listened to what we each wanted and brought it to life perfectly. My makeup lasted all night, my hair held through hugs, happy tears, and a photoshoot in the cold!, and I still looked like myself—just the most radiant version.
Thank you for being such an important part of our day. 5/5 without hesitation—I’d recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Oh Wafa, your message truly touched my heart. Thank you so much for your beautiful words—they honestly brought tears to my eyes. It was such a joy to be a part of your 2 big days. You were the sweetest, calmest bride, and your warmth and kindness made the whole morning feel so special. Seeing you, your sister, and your niece light up after getting ready truly reminded me why I love what I do. Knowing you all felt beautiful and confident makes me feel incredibly fulfilled and grateful. Thank you for trusting me with such an important part of your 2 day event. I’ll always remember the love in the room, the laughter, and how stunning you looked—inside and out.

Zaniffa and her team were wonderful for my wedding events. They were meticulous with both makeup and hair. Zaniffa did my makeup for both events and she is extremely friendly and easy to work with. My makeup turned out beautiful, lasted all day, and photographed well. I would highly recommend Zaniffa if you’re looking for a stress-free experience. More...

Zaniffa, where do I start?
First, I’m beyond happy and satisfied with Zaniffa’s work. She did my makeup for my wedding, and oh my god, she was so accommodating, reassuring and uplifting.
I don’t have my family with me here and don’t have a lot of connections, so going into finding a professional to do my makeup for me was nerve-wracking. I never had someone do my makeup without regretting the decision in the past, but not even a slight regret that I chose Zaniffa.
On top of her fantastic service, she was so willing to help me, knowing my circumstances that my wedding was planned in less than a month and my health wasn’t that great. She went out of her way to find me hair extensions, which is usually something that the customers themselves would do, but she is just a fantastic person.
She also recommended/connected me with a fantastic hair stylist who did my hair for the wedding, and I’m also so happy and satisfied.
Again, if you want someone who respects your wishes regarding what is more comfortable for you, go for Zaniffa. The client's happiness and satisfaction are her number one goal; no pushing something on you or convincing you to keep or remove whatever. She makes you feel pretty and, most importantly comfortable.
I’m dark-skinned, so it's always a struggle for me who will not make me look grey or pick weird colours; she did a fantastic job doing my makeup.
She still checks up on my health, and I’m thankful that I had a fantastic person prepare me for my special day.
Thank you Zaniffa

What do you love most about your job?
what I love most about doing makeup and hair, is the reactions I see on peoples faces after they see them selves in a a mirror. They love that they look flawless, they love the feeling of no makeup on their faces (even though they do have foundation on).
What inspired you to start your own business?
My journey as a beauty professional started at the age of 20, balancing my budding freelance business as a makeup artist, a part-time retail job, and university. As a makeup junkie since early childhood, I had always been passionate about beauty and the way products and technique can boost a woman’s confidence.
What started as a side hustle to earn a few extra dollars turned into a full-fledged, full-time beauty business.
This life changing decision led me to passionately pursue hours and hours of self-education in makeup technique and product knowledge, and professional certification in several hair courses taught by world-recognized professionals in the industry.
Rapidly building my skill set over the years, I had the opportunity to be a part of hundreds of catholic and cultural weddings, special events, product, editorial, and creative photoshoots.
I am incredibly fortunate to be trusted in assisting and representing some of Toronto’s most coveted artists, to have been flown out overseas for destination weddings, and most importantly to be favoured by countless women as their beauty confidante.
Having worked with women of all walks of life, ages and ethnicities, I am confident in my ability to create unique and customized looks that enhance rather than alter. Above all, there is absolutely nothing more rewarding than bringing out a woman’s inner beauty and confidence to take on her biggest moments.
