I was SO IMPRESSED with my makeup after having Aliana Thomas of Alaina Thomas Makeup Artistry do it, I knew I had to write a review so others could look beautiful on their special ...
day too!!! I googled makeup artists near me, and she was the first one that popped up. I called to see if I could get an appointment. Right away, I was impressed with how kind and professional she was on the phone! She was able to book me an appointment in a very timely manner.
When we started our appointment, the first thing she did was ask me what I (and I emphasize I) wanted for my special day. She wanted to make sure that I would look exactly how I envisioned myself to look! She then had me look at photos of celebrities on the computer asking me what makeup I like on them and what I don’t. I told her I liked a picture of Julianne Hough’s (from Dancing with the Stars and America’s Got Talent) makeup. She then asked me to point out photos of Julianne when I didn’t like the way her makeup was done. Alaina also asked me what kind of look I was personally going for. Did I want a natural look, a bronzed look, etc. She took all of this information and used it to do my makeup exactly the way I wanted. If I suggested something that she knew was not going to be appealing, she kindly suggested how she would do it. I trusted her right away and let her work her magic.
As she did my makeup, she explained EVERYTHING to me so I could continue the look even after my special day. She explained what brushes she used and why. What colors she used and why. How she applied the makeup and why.
Alana would stop after each step of my makeup application and have me closely look at it in the mirror. She would ask if I liked what she did so far. She wanted to know if I liked the color she chose and if it was the look I was going for. Again, she wanted to make sure that I looked EXACTLY how I envisioned myself to look on my day!
When she was done applying all of my makeup, I was STUNNED!!! I’ve never looked SO GOOD!!! This may sound vain, but I couldn’t stop looking at myself in the mirror because I LOVED the way I looked so much!!!
She told me exactly what brands, colors, brushes, cleaners, etc that she used on me so I could purchase them and continue the look after my special day. She does NOT have you buy overly priced makeup from her. In fact, she does not have you buy any makeup from her. She tells you drugstore makeup to use and high-end products you can use if that is what you want. She also tells you the websites/stores you can purchase them at. I’m on a budget so I appreciate her recommending things that still look FANTASTIC AND I can afford!
If you want to look absolutely gorgeous on your wedding day, then call Aliana of Aliana Thomas Makeup Artistry!!! If you want to have a makeup artist who is kind, professional, and extremely skilled at what she does, call Alaina! I am not the type of person to write reviews, but I was so IMPRESSED with her that I HAD to write this review! I want everyone to be as HAPPY and feel as BEAUTIFUL as I did on my special day! THANK YOU SO MUCH ALIANA!!! From your VERY satisfied client, Pam

so turned out amazing! She took the time to listen to my requests and was able to blow me away with her talent. Everyone in the wedding loved their makeup. She is easy to talk to and very professional and responsive. Couldn't imagine a better experience with anyone else. I plan to work with Alaina in the future as well!
Alaina is an extremely talented makeup artist who did an exceptional job at my wedding!! She really wants you to feel your absolute best on your wedding day, and wants you to feel ...
comfortable and confident in the makeup all night long!! She achieves this by doing her utmost best to understand what you envision for your bridal makeup and is willing to help make adjustments or changes as needed so that you look absolutely gorgeous on your special day. On another note, I can't forget to mention the hairstylist. Jojo is an absolutely skilled hairstylist, who couldn't be a better hairstylist for Alaina!! This team is professional, patient, punctual and personable. All my bridesmaids loved their conversations with them both during their getting ready. Both Alaina and Jojo helped each of my bridesmaids look exactly how they envision for the wedding day. Overall, I highly recommend Alaina Thomas!!!

e perfect skincare lineup to help make the makeup last is not always easy to come by. Alaina did all of that and more and blew me away! She also ensured to touch up the makeup when needed so that everyone photographed well. If you are looking for a makeup artist who is also extremely talented with hair and has a team of professionals that will TRAVEL to you, I highly recommend Alaina Thomas Makeup Artistry!

he made us all feel so comfortable and really listened to what each girl wanted. She’s the BEST!!
To say that Alaina was amazing would be an understatement. Not only was she professional, responsive, attentive, and willing to travel to me (Cleveland Ohio)... she was by far the ...
most talented makeup artist this area. I searched for months and months before finally looking outside of Cleveland and she was the best choice!
The greatest part about her is that she did my makeup exactly how I wanted (dark and bold) and then did my MILs exactly how she wanted - natural and subtle. She’s extremely verisitle and her talent is well worth the price she charges and her travel expense is very reasonable! Just be prepared to pay in full a month before your wedding.
Again... I look back on my wedding day and see the most beautiful versions of the ladies in my life and that’s thanks to her. She made everyone feel comfortable and confident on my big day. 10/10 would recommend her ladies!
Alaina is a phenomenal artist, extremely talented and very professional. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and Alaina made that happen. She figured out my style and completely...
made it perfect for my wedding day. I would highly recommend her.
Alaina was simply incredible! I booked her over a year in advance for our wedding this past weekend, and her communication has been on point from day one. Prior to our trial, she w...
as always willing to answer my questions or give me advice to help me look my best on the big day. Our trial was so much fun, she really worked with me to develop a look that was perfect for my wedding day (and my many outfit changes since we had two ceremonies). She was gracious when I offered some feedback on changes that I wanted, and on the day of, my makeup was PERFECT! Also, she did an amazing job on my bridesmaids and my mother-in-law. All their makeup looks were different but perfect for their individual tastes. AND, for you brides-to-be of color, we were a group of Indians and Latinas and our makeup enhanced our ethnic skintones. She's great, and her assistant Ashley was fantastic as well! Highly highly recommend!!
Alaina arrived ahead of time for both my trial and wedding day. She was extremely professional and very personable. She really listened to what I wanted. Thanks to her, I felt like...
a princess on my wedding day! It was exactly what I wanted. (Not only that, after over 12 hours of having my makeup on and sweating throughout the day, it still looked like she just put it on!!) I would highly recommend Alaina to anyone!
Alaina is truly worthy of MORE than 5 stars in ALL categories! First and most obvious is her unbelievably amazing makeup artistry skills....I looked EXACTLY how I wanted to look (b...
ut even better)....and all of my bridesmaids and my mom looked EXACTLY how they wanted took (but even better)...Alaina never once made any of us feel like we were compromising our individual styles and preferences...she catered to exactly what we all wanted individually and was never once pushy or made any of us feel as if she was just going to do her own thing. Each one of our makeup applications was truly flawless, captured our unique styles, AND stayed on perfectly throughout the entire evening. Beyond giving us all perfect makeup, Alaina excels at everything else you could want in a vendor as a stressed bride....she was perfectly punctual and I was beyond impressed with her ability to stay on schedule with each person...this is a vendor you will NOT have to worry about at all! Her response time and professionalism throughout the whole process was beyond what I could have expected. Lastly, she is also simply an absolute delight to be around! You'll probably want to ask her to stay and be a guest at your wedding because she is sweet, fun, calm and makes everyone feel at ease....Her talent is amazing but beyond that, I absolutely loved her vibes as a person and she made those hours before walking down the aisle truly enjoyable!!!
Alaina has had me speechless on so many occasions with her work. She gives everything her %150 and does it all with a smile and great personality! It amazes me what this woman can ...
do and I will always recommend her first for ANY makeup tasks!
