Deanna was absolutely fantastic. I have been involved with a few weddings this year, and she was, by far, the easiest and nicest to work with, and her makeup was the best.
Deanna was quickly responsive via email, text, and phone, and made a... stressful situation so much easier. My best friend's wedding was complicated by a number of difficult situations, and we needed to find a makeup artist about a month and a half from the wedding (super last minute in the world of weddings). I found Deanna and she worked with us to make herself available and to make things easier for my friend. She was up front and honest about ways for my friend to save money and was able to come to her home for a minimal, very fair travel fee.
Deanna's work was wonderful, and her calm, positive personality made everyone comfortable and at ease the morning of the wedding. My friend and the other people who had their makeup done (ranging from 27 to about 60) do not typically wear much makeup. As requested, their makeup was done to look natural, but enhanced, and their features emphasized. None of them looked overly done up, or not like themselves, which I have seen happen so often. They all looked beautiful and were completely comfortable. The makeup lasted impeccably the entire day and night, through hours of pictures, eating, and sweaty dancing.
I was honestly floored by how great Deanna was to interact with, and how wonderful her work was. In being involved with other people's weddings this past year, and planning my own at the same time, I have found that it is rare to come across people who so seamlessly combine such great personality and reliability with such excellent work.
I wholeheartedly recommend Deanna to anyone who ever needs a makeup artist.
