This artist was very pretentious and turned her nose up. I was in town for a wedding and looking for a makeup artist for the occasion. I had booked this artist a few days beforehand and thought all was well. I explained I had major health issues (cancer) and I really wanted to feel beautiful. I was within 20 min of her, but because I was just an individual, she didn’t want to travel to me. I offered to come to her. She really was non challant about the entire appointment and kept saying she didn’t really want to have to go out of her way since I was just one person for the session and therefore wasn’t making a small fortune. Her exact words were “I’m sure you can travel to me.” It was kind of disgusting. When I said, “Actually, I can’t drive this morning” (due to my side effects) and explained, her attitude was basically too bad, find someone else. It shouldn’t matter that I was only one person getting a service done. I should’ve been treated just as important as a large group. Just because you’re successful doesn’t mean you’re too good to make the effort for smaller appointments. Small appointments are what made you successful to begin with. The way she treated me was very heart breaking. So unprofessional and very pretentious. More...

Danaya did a fabulous job of make up for a Hollywood Gala. She made me into a gorgeous Bollywood movie star. Her expertise and execution made me unrecognizable in a great way! I highly recommend Danaya.

There aren't enough words to describe Danaya's talent! She is incredibly caring and takes her time with her clients. She managed to make my six bridesmaids, maid of honor, and myself feel and look like princesses. I can't imagine having anyone else doing our makeup on my wedding day. The photos are stunning. I highly recommend Danaya! She is truly a gem and is highly skilled in what she does. She was also an extremely calming presence for me and made me feel entirely at ease through the whole process. Thank you, Danaya! If you are looking for a makeup artist or stylist - look no further! More...

Danaya was a complete joy to work with. From the consultation to the day of my wedding, she made me feel special and responded quickly. We had a weekday wedding at the Courthouse and she came to meet me at the hotel with all of her supplies. Danaya is very professional and makes you look like yourself without layering on a mountain of makeup. She listens to your concerns and makes suggestions based on what you feel comfortable doing. Thank you so much for making me look and feel so special on my special day! More...

I used Danaya for my engagement shoot and my wedding day. I absolutely loved her the moment I met her. She is absolutely an artists and it is obvious. My sisters who were my bridesmaids loved their makeup on my wedding day. My mother loved her at the trial appointment and encouraged me to book before Danaya lost availability. She was professional, on time, and friendly. She made sure everyone felt beautiful and comfortable before she left. She is an absolute star and I would recommend her to everyone! More...

Danaya is a true beauty professional! She made me (the bride) and my 4 bridesmaids look absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day! It was a hot humid day, yet our make up stayed on until the morning after a whole day and night of celebrations! She also did my mother and 10-year-old sister, who also looked so beautiful ! She was very fun and easy-going and even though I was being nervous, talking and moving, while she was applying my make up, she was incredibly understanding and flexible! She is just so incredible! We received compliments about our make up by everyone! Danaya was the best choice for us and she would be the best choice for anyone! Just ask for examples of her work and you will be amazed! Loved her and her work - and she is crazy affordable! :) If you need more info or have questions or want to see examples of how she did us - please contact me at ekarakoleva1@gmail.com :) More...

I'm so happy I picked Danaya to do my wedding day makeup. I was skeptical about getting someone to do my makeup since in my experience I haven't been too happy when others have done my makeup even professionals. Danaya did my bridal makeup and two mothers for our wedding and it was amazing! Even my dad, who never comments on things like makeup, said my makeup looked beautiful! Danaya does a really good job of enhancing natural beauty without making you look like someone else- which unfortunately happens to some brides on their wedding day! She was flexible with the feedback I gave her at our trial and incorporated everything I wanted for the final look. Danaya also is amazing at making you feel comfortable and confident in your own skin! She literally gives you a compliment every 2 seconds! I love it! I need a Danaya in my life every day. More...

Danaya was exceptional at styling me for my reception. She listened to what I wanted and was definitely able to deliver! She enhanced me in a more natural way without being too excessive even for an Indian wedding reception. When I looked in the mirror, I felt glamorous while still feeling like it was me! The photographs also reflected this. I feel this is difficult as some photos are not so kind in sub- optimal lighting. No need for photoshop with her on board Would highly recommend and would love to have her style me over and over again! More...

I booked Danaya very last minute, and she was kind enough to take me! We scheduled a trial and I was very impressed with her stunning work. So I booked her right away for my wedding day in April 2018. She arrived early! Which made me very happy she was able to finish my 6 bridesmaids and myself. I was satisfied with her work and her talent. I definitely recommend Danaya because she is talented, fashionable, and a understanding person. More...

Danaya did my makeup as part of a wedding party. She brought great energy even during early hours and overall was a pleasure to work with. She was also nice to chat with as she did my make-up.My makeup repertoire is essentially liquid eyeliner so I kind of just deferred to her. The look turned out really nice in the pictures and even made me think perhaps I should try to fill in my brows. I would definitely give Danaya a try if you're considering her for makeup. More...

Danaya is a true artist. She is extremely responsive and professional. I don't usually wear make up, so I was looking for someone who would enhance my face rather giving me a whole new one. I completed my trial and Danaya listed to everything I had to say. All my concerns she addressed and my make up was beautiful. It was exactly what I wanted to my wedding day. I would highly recommend Danaya for your event! More...
