Alyssa Diana Makeup

Alyssa did my makeup for my June 2023 wedding and she was phenomenal! I absolutely loved working with her from the start. She is timely, responsive, kind, and honest in the best way. The trial was super easy and I was able to coordinate with my hair trial to see the full look! The wedding day makeup/lashes were stunning - I got SO many compliments and so did all of my bridesmaids. Everyone looked amazing and perfect. The makeup didn't budge the whole night and I never even had to touch it up. Cannot recommend Alyssa enough - book her for your wedding!

If you are still searching for your bridal makeup artist search no further...go with Alyssa Diana! Alyssa did my sister's make up for her wedding in September so when it was time for me to get married in May I knew right away that she was who I wanted to work with. Not only is Alyssa extremely talented but she makes you feel so comfortable-like you're hanging out with a girlfriend! After my initial trial Alyssa asked for feedback as well as photos to see how my makeup held up in order to assure that my makeup on my wedding day would last all day through photos and of course dancing! On my big day, I felt absolutely gorgeous and so did my bridal party. I can not wait to work with Alyssa for a future event!

The fact that I slept in my makeup (and eyelashes) and it stayed on flawlessly until 5pm the next day should tell you everything you need to know. Alyssa worked magic. Her makeup skills are outstanding and truly the nicest person to work with. She was so fun on the wedding day (and at the trial) and I received so many compliments from my bridesmaids who worked with her. Highly recommend hiring Alyssa! It was one of the best decisions.

If i could give this woman a million stars i would. I searched deeply into finding a good artist who knew how to bring people’s internal beauty out at best and Alyssa did just that to me as the bride but each of my girls. Her personality is radiating, she loves what she does but she loves her clients equally. She uses the top notch products, which now myself and all my girls are starting to buy because of her. If I won the lottery i would hire Alyssa for a day to day make up because of the natural look she brings out but she’s also a gem to be around, i was sad that she had to go home after she finished. She takes pride in her work and getting to know her clients. There is no other person I would hire in a lifetime, unless it’s Alyssa herself. She takes time and effort into clients skin / make up. Love you forever Alyssa!

I can't say enough good things about Alyssa. Hire her for your wedding!! First, she is absolutely AMAZING at what she does and second, she's the sweetest human you'll ever meet! All of my bridesmaids raved about her and her team and how great they did our make-up for the big day! It was flawless and held the entire day and night and was the perfect natural glam I was going for. I would recommend her to any and everyone for your big day!

What is there NOT to applaud Alyssa on….. i have never been in a wedding where every single bridesmaid, bride, family of the couple, loved their makeup…. Until mine. Alyssa (and her help she brought, America) made every single person in my wedding look and feel their best. I have never truly felt flawless until i sat in Alyssa’s chair. My makeup was jaw dropping. I couldn’t believe my eyes. Every flaw, GONE. And to make it even better, my makeup stayed all night long, and i danced for HOURS. Neither mine or my bridal party’s even smudged. I was so impressed. And to top things off, she recommended products for me to get to touch up during the night, and they are now my favorite products. The lip color she recommended is one i will continue to buy just because it reminds me of how beautiful i felt on my wedding day. She is a hidden gem, and i would highly recommend ANYONE to contact her regarding your wedding makeup. You will not regret it.

I am forever grateful that I stumbled upon Alyssa’s Instagram while I was looking for a makeup artist for my wedding. She is the absolute BEST! Alyssa took her time to make sure I felt my best. She was so thoughtful of every single detail and asked for my opinion and gave my options before she finalized anything. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist! Not only did Alyssa do an amazing job on my makeup she is also the sweetest and makes you feel so comfortable. All of my bridesmaids loved her as well! Best part of it all- my makeup lasted all night, zero touch ups! Thank you Alyssa for making my big day so much more special with your talent!

Alyssa is one of the most hardworking and talented artists in the industry. She is amazing to work with and was extremely receptive to helping to curate the perfect look for my wedding day. She made me feel beautiful and was a delight to have while getting ready on the big day. My makeup looked flawless and did not budge the entire night!

Alyssa was amazing!!! She made myself and the rest of my bridal party look and feel beautiful. She was so personable and we had so many great conversations and laughs throughout the morning of my wedding! I got so many compliments throughout the day on how great my makeup looked!! I highly recommended Alyssa for anyone’s future wedding/event!

I don't think I could capture in a review how amazing Alyssa was as my makeup artist for my wedding day. Not only is she so incredibly talented, she is also so kind and easy to talk to! She made the entire process so easy from my trial to the day of. She went above and beyond - helping me pick out some makeup for my touchups and for my mom who has sensitive skin. She even made a last minute set-up work when we couldn't get into the bridal studio for makeup the day of my wedding. Every single one of my bridesmaids, my mom, and mother-in-law raved about how amazing Alyssa was. She made me feel relaxed and absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a makeup artist, for your wedding or any special event!!

Alyssa is the bomb.com! She is AMAZING at what she does. I’ve never had my makeup done professionally before and let me tell you, my expectations are now through the roof! I don’t think anyone can come close to how amazing of an artist she is. Now, I’m not one to wear a lot of makeup on my day to day so I wanted a natural look with a touch of glam for my wedding — and Alyssa delivered! She also gave great tips and suggestions for what products will help bring out my best skin. Alyssa is brilliant at what she does. She is kind & funny, and helped me feel calm. Thank you Alyssa!

Alyssa and her assistant made us feel so beautiful and comfortable on our trial days and wedding days. She was personable, charismatic, sweet and beyond talented. I sought out a makeup artist that would be able to deliver a look catered to 2 brides, mother in laws, and bridesmaids of every shade. Let me say that Alyssa delivered. My wife and I had flawless makeup even into the evening- our guests and family were in awe that through sweat tears and hours of moving around that our makeup didn’t budge. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

I inquired with Alyssa twice and I’m soooo happy I booked her! The first time I reached out I was nervous about having the trial after making a deposit. However, I realized that it is completely normal for makeup & hair vendors so I reached back out to her to make a deposit. I’m so glad she was still available and that I had the opportunity to work with her. She was very flexible and helped me find a time for the trial that worked with my schedule. She was so kind, easy to talk to, and listened to what I wanted. We had so many great conversations! I was drawn to her because of all of her Instagram posts. The makeup on her page looked so natural and beautiful! Of course she didn’t let me down! My makeup turned out amazing at my trial. She recommended a non-transferable lipstick/gloss and powder to purchase so that I could touch up my makeup through the night. I was able to pick out a color with my maid of honor which made it fun. The day of the wedding, my makeup turned out even more amazing than the trial!! ALL of my bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law were in love with their makeup and kept talking about how great it stayed on the entire day! I received so many compliments from my guest and husband as well. She truly is an amazing makeup artist! Don’t miss out booking her for your event!!!

I was a bridesmaid in a wedding last September and the bride hired Alyssa to do her make up and any BM’s who wanted it. I was nervous to have my makeup done being darker-skinned but Alyssa matched my skin PERFECTLY with the products she had. She also flawlessly covered my acne scars and dark spots which is a big insecurity of mine, and she gave me tips on how to do it at home! I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did leaving her chair. She was kind, gentle, and super fun to chat with! There were a lot of us in the wedding party but she worked so well with the bride to stay organized and we stayed on schedule all afternoon. I will not be getting married without Alyssa (whenever the time comes) :)

Alyssa is the most perfect makeup artist you will find. And when I say artist, I mean it. This is not standard makeup application, this is some sort of wizardry. She made me feel like an absolute queen. Not only is she phenomenal at her job but she is a joy to be around and makes everyone feel super comfortable! Be prepared, you WILL cry when you see yourself after she’s done her magic!

Alyssa is incredible! As someone who doesn't typically wear a ton of makeup, I knew I wanted to still look natural but of course special on my wedding day. She helped find the perfect balance and make me feel extra confident for the big day. Alyssa is kind, patient, and hilarious on top of being extremely talented. Couldn't recommend her more highly.

Alyssa was beyond amazing. She was so kind, funny, and professional. She was the last to leave of all my vendors during the Getting Ready portion of my wedding. She wanted to make sure everything was perfect. She took all my notes from the trial and applied them perfectly and gave me EXACTLY what I wanted! She is so great. I hope to work with her more in the future.

I am obsessed. During the pandemic, I literally forgot how to do make up. It was only about concealer and mascara and walking out the door. Now that things are slowly normalizing again, I wanted to invest in myself. I reached out to Alyssa after she did my make up for my business headshots and I was obsessed with how it came out. She hyped me up completely and I left completely different because she truly did make me feel comfortable. I didn’t tell her how to do my make up at all and I completely trusted her because of how safe I felt with her. Lasted alllll of Valentine’s Day btw! About two weeks later, because I fell in love with make up all over again, I started to see if Alyssa host private make up lessons and she did thank goodness! She was super flexible about time, day and location which is very beneficial for me. I took my entire make up bag which isn’t a lot haha! And we went from the first and last step of doing my make up together. She did my right side and I did my left side. So, we walked every step together and she explained everything from moisturizer to liner to lip to setting spray. I felt so empowered that I knew how to do my make up that the next day I went make up shopping and I was so excited! She answered all of my questions in full detail and provided me so many examples. She also even provided me samples of products and a beauty blender! Then afterwords, she sent me a detailed email explaining every step of my make up that I can go back to forever and ever with links to the products. I’m not kidding, I want to do a private lesson every season. I highly suggest booking a private make up class with Alyssa! You will not regret it.

I was sooo beyond happy with Alyssa’s work. She made me look and feel truly beautiful. As someone who has rosacea, crazy dry skin and doesn’t wear more than mascara regularly I was really nervous to have my makeup done for my wedding day. Alyssa was able to work with my skin regardless and really took the time and effort to make me comfortable and happy with a full face. All of the other ladies who had their makeup down were also thrilled with their end results. Alyssa also made the entire experience enjoyable because she’s so personable and easy to talk to—she’ll make you feel calm in the hours leading up to your big moment. Thanks Alyssa!!

I’ve never gotten my makeup done, like EVER. I don’t wear much makeup as it is, so I was going back and forth of getting my makeup done for my wedding. I found Alyssa on Instagram and scheduled a trial. From the get-go, she was super sweet and asked a lot of questions about what I wanted and what I didn't like. It was flawless! I left the trial feeling beautiful as ever! It did feel weird having on that much makeup (which was not a lot, but again, my baseline is pretty minimal.). I took a few pics and reached back out to Alyssa asking if we could make tweaks for the big day. She was quick to accommodate and took notes of what I wanted. Her main thing was making sure I felt comfortable on my wedding day. I am so happy with how it all turned out and it lasted way into the night! If I ever need my makeup done again, she’s my girl!

Alyssa is absolutely AMAZING!! Not only is she professional, kind, hilarious, and fun to be around, she is incredible at what she does!!! I have never felt more beautiful in my entire life than on my wedding day thanks to Alyssa’s talent! My bridesmaids and I (all with varying skin tones and skin types) could not have better things to say about her and the way our makeup turned out- she is wonderful and I can’t wait to work with her again in the future!! Highly highly recommend

Where do I start….Alyssa is seriously the best in the biz! We started working together at a photoshoot a year and a half ago and ever since I have seen her do just about every makeup look possible. She is SO knowledgeable about all things makeup and on top of that, takes eye shape, skin type, face shape, etc into consideration when glamming you up so you look and feel your absolute best, while also using all top tier products! When she has done my makeup, not only did I feel beautiful, but it lasted well into the night! So whether you want natural, glam or editorial, she can do it ALL! We have shared countless brides together who always look absolutely beautiful. Alyssa is the most fun to work with and will forever be your hype queen. Basically she is AMAZING and everyone should go book her. Like NOW! You won’t regret it <3

Alyssa is a makeup magician. She is a true professional, from the trial day to the wedding day. Her process is great - She asked me a lot of questions to get a feel for my normal makeup routine, and made sure she came up with a look that matched what I was comfortable with but had some glam to mark the special occasion. The results were so beautiful and beyond anything I would have imagined. I had so many people asking me who my makeup artist was after my wedding, because I looked THAT good. She is also an extremely fun, kind and warm person and makes you feel so special on your wedding day. All of the bridesmaids and I felt so beautiful, thank you Alyssa for your amazing work!

Alyssa was truly THE BEST. I hired her for my bridal makeup, and she also did the makeup for my bridesmaids and mom. All of our makeup lasted FAR into the night, and I have truly never felt more beautiful. She catered the makeup application to everyone's skin type, and had top tier products that I felt really comfortable putting on my sensitive skin. She offered her time for a trial as well which I would HIGHLY recommend, because my makeup was even better the second time she did it!! She also was truly just so fun to hang out with all morning while we were getting ready. During what I am sure was her most busy season ever, she was available and responsive to my questions, and never made it seem like she was too busy to talk about my ideas. She is well worth every dollar we paid. I would honestly recommend her for absolutely any event!! THANK YOU Alyssa for being your talented self, can't wait to hire you again for my next event!

Alyssa and I started working together when my original makeup artist bailed on me just five months before our wedding, and wow what a blessing that turned out to be! Everything happens for a reason because Alyssa is incredibly talented and SO FUN. It was like hanging out with an old friend all day. I am very pale, with freckles and red hair, and no one ever seems to know how to do my makeup without making me look like a wax figurine. Alyssa NAILED the soft glam look I envisioned for my wedding day. I also have a ton of allergies and she took the time to go through the extensive list of products I can use to make sure that I was safe on my wedding day! My bridesmaids, mother and mother in law are all very different looking from one another and every single one looked stunning. Alyssa listened to all of our requests and we all had the BEST time getting ready with her. When I needed a new hair stylist, Alyssa helped me find her friend Laura, who was also incredible and they worked so well together. My advice to any bride out there is to hire kind vendors, and Alyssa is one of the sweetest there is. I wish every bride could look as beautiful as Alyssa made me feel on my wedding day! Thank you so much, Alyssa!!

Alyssa is a dream come true. She has done my makeup a couples times for portrait photos and I can't recommend her enough. She is easy to work with and super responsive from the moment you contact her. You can tell she has so much experience and knowledge of all the products she's using. She's so friendly and I look forward to every time she does my makeup! I would highly recommend her!

Note: Alyssa never had the opportunity to actually do my makeup for my wedding, but she deserves an amazing review nonetheless. My wedding took place immediately before the peak of COVID19. Unfortunately Alyssa became sick 5 days before the wedding and could no longer attend. Before contacting me, she reached out to a trusted fellow MUA and arranged/planned every aspect (including a trial) with the new artist for me. She refunded my deposit and completely took care of any "inconvenience" that would come.

Alyssa did my makeup for multiple events and I absolutely loved it! She is so talented in what she does and you can see she clearly loves doing makeup. I was so happy with my makeup and I will never let anyone else do my makeup. I would definitely recommend booking with her.

I’m typically a lash extensions and lip gloss kind of girl. I don’t like the heavy makeup look or feel but I had a wedding to go to and a friend of mine raved about Alyssa after using her for a couple of occasions so I thought let me give her a try. Not only was she the sweetest girl but she made me feel fabulous and gave me exactly what I was looking for. She was so knowledgeable about all the products and answered all my silly makeup questions. She’s is a truly talented makeup artist and used her several times after and referred her to friends and everyone loves her! Thank you for being the best Alyssa!

Alyssa wasn’t anything short of amazing. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a reliable, professional makeup artist. I will never go to another makeup artist besides her. She was on time, efficient, & fulfilled all my needs. Thank you so much Alyssa for making my day!

Alyssa was such a wonderful person and excellent at what she does. She was prompt and and very knowledgable and attentive to detail. I received so many compliments on my makeup. I will definitely be calling on Alyssa for any future occasions and would recommend her to all.

Alyssa is an incredible makeup artist! Not only did she create the perfect bridal look for me on my big day but she went above and beyond in other ways. Her quality of makeup products are superior. You are getting the best of the best in terms of makeup standards. Alyssa has a wonderful and kind personality. She was a complete joy to be around. I’m so lucky to have had her do my makeup on my wedding day!

I found out about Alyssa through a family friend and booked her for my daughter’s recital. She made her makeup look natural and flawless yet dramatic enough for show makeup. My daughter received compliments all day long from other moms and dancers that we since used her services for a wedding we attended. Can’t wait to work with her again!

Alyssa is a miracle worker! She made me look 10 years younger without me looking like I had on a ton of makeup. Alyssa took such care to make me look my best and even showed me how to achieve these results on my own. I would recommend her to women of all ages!!

Alyssa was so amazing that I will never let another makeup artist touch my face! She’s done my makeup from weddings, graduations, nights out, and everything in between. Whether I bring her a picture or just paint a verbal picture of what I want, each and every time it is flawless. Her knowledge, professionalism, and personality make her a perfect fit for anyone and any occasion. I will continue to come back and recommend her to anyone I know!!!!

I had my make up done a few times with Alyssa in Florida, before she made the big move to Chicago. She was always on time, left me feeling more than beautiful on my big day and during my trial we tried several looks, to the point where I couldn’t decide. She’s amazing at what she does!

Alyssa helped me achieve the perfect soft glam look for my sisters wedding! She made sure I felt comfortable in the final look and talked me through all the steps to ensure the look lasted all night. I’ll definitely be using her services in the near future. Thank you!!
