Dilven MUA

ener and takes time to understand and execute on what makeup story you want to tell on your big day. My group and I don’t wear much makeup on a day-to-day, so we opted for natural glam and it was just stunning. I was also so nervous about crying off my makeup and it didn’t budge one bit throughout the entire night. Also! My bridesmaids and I are all from different backgrounds and have a huge range in skin tones. There was never a moment in which anyone felt that she couldn’t work with their complexion, or didn’t have the correct shades for them. It was perfect. Lastly, Dilven is not just a makeup artist, she is a host. She really kept the energy and conversation going the entire time we were getting ready. Book her now for your big day!!

ilven in Nov '22 about doing the makeup for my wedding (in Sept '23). Everything seemed great, so I signed a contract with her and sent a deposit. I also asked Dilven if she would do my rehearsal dinner makeup. She quickly agreed. From my perspective everything was locked in. When booking my trial, I told her that I do not live in the New England area, but I had a few trips scheduled there. I wanted to do my trial during one of these trips. In May '23 I contacted Dilven and booked a trial for the end of the month. It was challenging to figure out this booking as Dilven has a full-time job, but I was happy to accommodate. As a freelancer, I understand the importance of side hustles and was happy to work around her schedule. However, the DAY BEFORE the trial she canceled. I reminded her that I don't live in the area and won't be able to visit MA again before the wedding. Then I found out that on the day of the trial Dilven actually canceled on me because she was working a job at Sephora. This should have been my first indication that she only looks out for herself and not her clients. A few weeks before my wedding Dilven and I were emailing. She said she would need a hotel room for 2 nights (Thursday and Friday). This was never fully outlined in the contract. I knew I would be putting her up on Friday night between the rehearsal dinner and the reception, but wasn't told she'd need a 2nd night until now. However, I happily obliged. My venue could only accommodate guests starting on Fri. Dilven wanted to arrive on Thur for a 2-3pm application on Fri (She lives a 3-hour drive away, so this request really made no sense, but I went with it anyway). I told her I would have to book her in a hotel offsite as we didn't have a hotel block in Maine for Thursday night. Even my fiance and I weren't arriving in Maine until Fri.. During our email exchanges, Dilven mentioned that she wanted 2 hours to do my rehearsal makeup and that our time would be used as a "trial" since we never had one. This was contradictory to her earlier emails which explained that I didn't need a trial. I kindly told Dilven that on the day before my wedding, I didn't have time for a trial. I just wanted a basic application for dinner. Then Dilven also emailed me an arbitrary number for her travel. I questioned where this number came from. The contract had numbers for travel outlined and the price she was providing me didn't match those. Dilven couldn't give me a straight answer. I asked to speak to her on the phone, but received an email saying that she could no longer work my wedding. Here are some reasons she outlined in email: 1) The contract was not "valid" as I had TBD listed in a few places (such as my day-of schedule, etc.) Why would I know all this a year before the wedding when I originally signed the document? 2) Said I "never" booked her a hotel room. I did. And it's not refundable. 3) I questioned her travel rate. 4) I didn't have a trial... Yet she said not having a trial was fine, and she was the one who canceled my trial. Dilven has yet to answer my phone calls or texts. She's completely ghosted me. I've never encountered someone so unprofessional. She's not reliable and will gaslight you. BRIDES STAY AWAY!

lasted really well throughout the day. I got my makeup done at 5 am and it still looked really good by 12 am the next day. She provided a touch up kit which was really nice, the blotting sheets came in handy as well! She is professional and personable, I really enjoyed my session with her. When it's my turn to get married I will definitely reach out to Dilven! ☺️

soft glam and not too “cakey,” and worked really well with managing my skin type (I get oily quickly). She gave us all a gift bag with small goodies in order to touch up our makeup throughout the night which was supper helpful. I highly recommend working with her!

immediately and used her expertise when I didn’t have exact directions to get to what I was generally looking for. She explained every new thing going on my face and asked questions that helped both her and I figure out the look. The result was a natural glam which is what I wanted! Application-wise, I always struggle with strip lashes due to me eye shape but the lashes stayed on better than any other time I’ve tried them. Even the corners that usually come off. When I took them off it didn’t take any of my real lashes off either. She was very open to any style adjustments I want to make for wedding day. I’m a people pleaser so I felt bad making any new edits after sitting with it for a while but she makes sure you know it’s your day and wants to give you what you want! Aside from the makeup itself, she was a pleasure to work with and a generous fun helpful person. She also gave me some skincare tips and product recommendations. I’m much more comfortable going into wedding day and definitely recommend, esp to anyone who needs a helping hand in figuring out what look you’re going for and understanding makeup in general!

to have her glam me and my ladies up on my wedding day!

nd amount of coverage. I also appreciated her checking in with what I liked and wanted throughout the process. Dilven is a great choice for brides looking for someone who will listen and laugh with them while giving them a beautiful natural look and glow. Definitely recommend!

ay. When it came to my look, I let her take the reigns and let me tell you, she did not disappoint! I absolutely LOVED my look and was so happy with my overall experience! 10/10 recommend her!

me and showing me the look as she was creating it. I can’t wait to book her again for my next makeup appointment. You’re a sweetheart Dilven! Thank you for listening to me and making me feel pretty!

, attentive and over all extremely professional - She is very quick to respond to emails and made a few great suggestions for the big day that really helped me plan my day better! She confirmed details and reconfirmed details with me when plans had to change slightly on my end. Dilven went above and beyond and made sure everyone was on time and did exactly what the girls wanted even with such a large bridal party. They were even more accommodating when one of my bridesmaids decided last minute, she wanted her makeup done. Throughout the whole process Dilven kept in contact and made my vision come true. I cannot recommend Dilven enough and I’m so grateful I found her on Instagram.

e session. It amazed me how quickly she could adjust the makeup look if we wanted to tweak anything. She has such a keen eye. I wanted a glammed-up, but natural look, and she gave me exactly that. Something that I love about her work is that she tries to bring out one's natural beauty and features they already have. Throughout the entire session, I felt comfortable. Through words of encouragement and through normal conversations, her genuity is evident, which made me trust her and the process. Sometimes, trusting someone to perform beauty services can be nerve-wracking because every artist has their own methods. Dilven is a true artist with expert skills and a true professional. I'm very thankful, and I feel appreciated for the time she took with me to make sure I loved the end look. It was an all-around amazing, fun experience, in which I will certainly be going back to her for future glam sessions.

a natural look. Not only did Dilven make me look amazing, but she also made me feel extremely comfortable and made the whole experience exciting and fun! I left her feeling gorgeous and like a made a new friend! I highly recommend her to anyone and everyone!

my wedding day!

t but then I reached out to Dilven and she was available (THANK GOD). I am so much happier with Dilven so it was clearly meant to be!❤️😍

so comfortable and asking me questions about my skin routine and what I wanted done. All I said was glam but nothing TOO dramatic. She is warm, kind and funny and made the whole experience memorable. She is also a queen of her craft and so knowledgeable! Definitely going to her again.

t she is so sweet and funny, just a joy to work with. She made the experience so much fun for me and was super accommodating. I’ve had my makeup done professionally several times and its never looked nearly this good (I’m very picky) and also had another makeup trial with another artist before that left me feeling like I wouldn’t be able to find someone great. I WAS WRONG!!!! I’m so glad I found Dilven and CANNOT WAIT for my wedding day!!!!

artist so she knows how to makeup my makeup look amazing on camera & off. On my wedding day, my makeup stayed perfect throughout the entire day/night and my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law's makeup were equally as stunning. Not only is Dilven a talented makeup artist but is also a pleasure to be around on the day of your wedding! I'm so happy she was my makeup artist! I can't recommend her enough.

my hair and makeup. My maternity was during one of the most recent heat waves here in Belize. Despite the elements my make up and hair stayed perfectly throughout the entire day and night. Not only that, but she finished almost 30min earlier than anticipated!!! I highly recommend booking her services for your engagement, wedding and all other special events. You and your wedding party will not be disappointed and you will feel like you're spending time with a good friend.

ry questions and concerns we had. She helped make the experience a fun and relaxing one. I honestly can’t say enough about Dilven and can’t recommend her enough.

particularly when it could be a stressful one, it was like having a great friend over to do your make up. She listened to all of our preferences and did a phenomenal job. I am so happy with how my make up and my bridesmaids make up came out. Hire her! You won’t be disappointed.

ies that she serviced. She was very personable, understanding, and kind. She is also very good at what she does! Her style keeps the bride looking like themselves but clean and elevated. Do not hesitate to higher her for your big day. I recommend her services 100%

I was a bit apprehensive on how my make up would turn out. Our features and eye shape are really different from a Caucasian's so it takes a person with experience to understand and emphasize our features. Dilven was able to apply my mom's makeup and my bridesmaids and then myself within the allotted time. She did a magnificent job. She is truly professional and came right at 5 am to start doing the work. I complete recommend her to anyone who needs a professional and awesome makeup artist.

literally swooped in like a guardian angel! Her passion combined with her skill is literally unmatched. The makeup was flawless. She delivered and then some. I literally look unreal in my wedding photos. Better believe I’m telling all my girlfriends about her as well! She’s too good to be true!
