wedding went seamless. I had 5 bridesmaids, 2 junior bridesmaids, flower girl and either of the bride. She made everyone of them fell special and well taken care of. She goes above and beyond for her clients.

Donyale was exactly what I needed for my big day. She helped above and beyond. I felt beautiful and my party looked amazing!!
Donayle has a very bubbly personality, which is was drew me in! The trial went flawlessly and the big day was a big success!
Such an incredible experience top to bottom! I used our trial session for our engagement shoot and got plenty of compliments. Then, the couples facial…I can’t rave enough! Our skin...
has never felt and looked better. It was so good that one of our guests arrived to town early to get the same facial. On our wedding day, she arrived early with another artist and immediately got to work on my bridal party and myself. They were professional and made it a fun experience for all of us. Any suggestions of changes we wanted to make, they accommodated! She even stayed behind to make sure everything was good once we finished getting ready. The make up stayed all night and never once needed a touch up. Same for the second day of our wedding when we were taking pictures outside and then dancing in a hall with a barely functioning AC. The makeup even lasted through the after party with no touch up or powder needed! I’ve already recommended her to all my friends!
I LOVE DONYALE! From her professionalism, to her knowledge, fun personality and workability, to even her experience and connections. As someone who was fairly new to Houston and pl...
anned my wedding myself, she was instrumental in connecting me with other vendors like my bridal hairstylist. She also went above and beyond and was there for me every step of the way on my wedding day getting me and my many bridesmaids together until the moment I walked down the aisle and helping out with little things that came up aside from makeup. Like carrying stuff for me and helping with my veil. She made everything seamless and now has a longtime customer in me.

8 in my bridal party! The service was the Royal treatmemt! A week before my husband and I got facials and a skincare kit to make sure our faces were Prime for the Big day! The day of Donyale & her team were on time and worked so fast that my bridal party was ahead of schedule! She followed us to the venue and made sure everyone had touch ups before and after pictures. I appreciate her Professionalism, her Talent, and her Energy! 10 out of 10 -would definitely recommend!!!

goes above and beyond for her clients. I am so glad our paths crossed, for I am now a returning client for all my make up needs.
Donyale is absolutely amazing! I booked her almost two years before my wedding, and started going to her for facials about a year and a half before the wedding. She is both profess...
ional and fun - and really listens to the input of the client.
I am not someone who wears makeup ever and was nervous about still looking like myself on my wedding day. The goal was to look like I had a simple, Snapchat or Instagram filter on, but otherwise looked like me. And that is exactly what Donyale did! I looked like an elevated version of myself and I got so many compliments on both my make up and skin.
Thank goodness she is an esthetician, because I can continue seeing her even after the wedding! And I have and will continue to recommend her to everyone I know!
Donyale was knowledgeable and extremely helpful throughout my time working with her. Mine and my bridesmaids makeup looked incredible on the wedding day. She even offers spa servic...
e, which I plan to continue. I highly recommend using her for any special occasion!
Donyale did a fantastic job on our make up for my wedding!!
I love Donyale's work! I am not one for the over dramatic make-up and eyelashes. I must say, Donyale did a great job! Her passion for the job, showed through her work. I appreciate...
Donyale's positive energy. She worked fast, she was professional and delivered flawless, exemplary results! All the ladies were beyond satisfied and so anxious to sit in her chair after seeing the first bridesmaid's make-up! She did a great job on all the ladies, there were no complaints! I want to thank Donyale for the outstanding work she did for Kemi (the bride) and her bridesmaid's, you played a huge role in making that day special! Keep up the good work and service, and you'll be doing celebrities make-up sooner than later! Donyale is a Boss! Support this sisters business!!!!
Donyale and her team are very talented and professional. As a bridesmaid, several guests asked, "Who did y'all makeup?" I wholeheartedly recommend them.
Donyale and her staff were very professional from the time I booked her for my wedding day, until the start of the wedding. They were on time to the venue.and started our make-up o...
n time. They were very personable and fit right in with the wedding party. Love her chairs that made me feel like I was getting glamed up in HOLLYWOOD 😊 The wedding party loved their look and was happy. I really liked that she stayed with me until I walked out the doors down the aisle. Will use here again whenever I need glam.
Donyale was amazing! Even for an out-of-state bride she was readily available and answered all of my questions in a timely manner. Not to mention her makeup skills are exquisite!
Donyale and her assistant took care of myself & my loved ones like they were their own. From the consultation phone call to Donyale staying until after the wedding started to make ...
sure she could touch up anything that was needed, every single moment was amazing! Her knowledge of skin tones and coloring was especially helpful as I’ve had bad experiences with other MUA’s feeling washed out or too tan. Donyale was able to find the perfect middle ground for my skin tone and literally every person I spoke to commented on how great it looked!
Thank you Donyale!! Loved having you a part of my big day!!

It was such a pleasure working with Donyale Beauty Studio. Donyale is an exceptional makeup artist who exudes professionalism and a cutting-edge flair.
I purchased the Deluxe Brid...
al Experience package after meeting her at the Texas Bridal & Wedding Expo. She took the time to get to know me and my style from the beginning when we did the trial so that she could provide me with a consistent look and feel for my engagement pictures, bridal shower, and wedding day. She was always on time and followed through on her commitments. I especially appreciate her flexibility on our wedding day. When things did not go according to plan on our end, she maintained her cool and continued to provide services to me and my bridal party. Hands down, I highly recommend Donyale and will book her for years to come whenever I’m back in Houston. I have even referred her out to my friends and family.
Donyale is an AMAZING Make-Up Artist! We hired her to do the make-up our Double Love Celebration wedding. With the package, she did a trail run in her studio for my bridal shoot....
Donyale was very professional, whereas I showed her pictures of makeup that I liked and every step of the process she asked my opinion. She has a larger mirror in her studio where I could continuously watch her applying the make-up. I loved this because normally you only see when your make-up is finished and then it is hard to make any changes.
For the Double Love Celebration event, Donyale did make-up for my mom, my sister, and I. And all us were treated like the bride. Donyale was very timely, but very detailed in getting all of us done. She is really good with colors, where the make-up looked natural and not caked on. My make-up was beautiful the full night and I received tons on complaints all through the evening. Not only is she an immaculate make-up artist, but she also cares about your skin. She spoke to me about healthy skin care and my mom has even been back to her studio for facial. It was truly a pleasure working with Donyale and we will be using her again for more events!!
Thank you to Donyale "The Make-Up Artist" on a job well done for our Double Love Wedding Celebration. She was early to the venue and had all necessary supplies. She did the make-...
up for all of the wedding party and each one loved the job. We met with her for a consultation first and she was very thorough and informative. So on the actual celebration day she was prepared and we knew what to expect. She had two brides and did a wonderful job. Thank you Donyale for helping to make our special day a success.
