April DeFeo
Owner
For nearly 20 years, I’ve had the honor of creating timeless bridal hair and makeup looks for women on the most meaningful days of their lives. What started as a love for beauty quickly grew into a calling — guiding brides through the moments that matter most: engagement shoots, bridal portraits, wedding mornings, maternity sessions, and all the beautiful milestones that follow.
My brides often say they feel like they’ve known me forever, and that’s exactly how I want your experience to feel. The getting-ready hours should be calm, supportive, and full of joy — not rushed or stressful. I’m there to center you, celebrate you, and bring your vision to life with artistry that enhances your natural beauty rather than masking it.
Turning my passion for makeup and hairstyling into a career has been one of the greatest blessings of my life. Every bride I work with becomes part of my story, and it’s a privilege to help you feel like the most confident, radiant, and unforgettable version of yourself when you walk down the aisle.
Your wedding day deserves artistry with heart, experience, and intention — and I’m honored to be part of that moment.

April was fantastic to have for my hair and makeup! Upon booking, she was responsive and ready to answer any questions I had. My makeup and hair was flawless during the trial run a...
nd the actual wedding day! Her and her assistant Toni worked on 6 of my bridal party very fast and efficiently and all the girls looked beautiful. My makeup stayed the whole night and it felt light and natural. I also struggle with thin and fine hair and she had transformed my hair to stay in place the whole night and my hair style was perfect the whole time. I had the elegant low bun with wavy bangs and I have never felt so confident in my look! I normally do not wear much makeup and it felt like I wasn’t wearing any makeup and that my skin could breathe. She achieved the timeless look of the no makeup, makeup look and accentuated my features. I am so happy I found April for my hair and makeup! If you are a local south Florida bride to be and are looking hair and makeup artist for your special day, this is your opportunity to book with April! 😊

I cannot recommend my hair and makeup artist enough! From start to finish, she was incredibly professional and easy to work with. Her communication leading up to the wedding was cl...
ear, prompt, and reassuring, which made the whole planning process so much smoother.
On the day of, she arrived right on time and got set up quickly without any stress or confusion. She also brought along a hair artist who was equally talented and made the morning so much fun! They worked efficiently while still paying close attention to detail, and somehow managed to get seven girls completely done in what felt like no time at all.
What really stood out was the quality of their work. Everyone looked absolutely beautiful, polished and elevated, but still natural. No one felt overdone or like they were wearing heavy, cakey makeup. It was exactly the look we were hoping for.
On top of everything, her pricing was very fair, especially considering the level of service and the included travel fees. I’m so grateful to have had her be part of our wedding day and would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a talented, reliable, and efficient artist!

April communicated with me every step of the way to ensure everything was perfect, which it was! Even the morning of, April was more than happy to fix something that could have been a literal eye sore in every picture. The night before, while doing something my husband managed to scratch his face right below one of his eyes & April was more than happy to fix the blemish. April & her team exceeded all of my expectations & I am more than happy with the work she offers. Thank you so much, April!

at I wanted and my make-up looked stunning . My mom kept saying "you made me beautiful" lol...and she did a beautiful up-do for my maid of honor who had just cut her hair above the shoulders. Not only is April talented but she's so sweet and you can tell she truly loves her job. She even has her own make-up line and it is great quality. I had 2 trials prior to meeting with her and I was not happy with the air brush make-up. However, April's make-up line is flawless and better than what I've purchased in department stores. I hope to work with her again, she is easy going and is very talented doing hair and make-up.

ear's Day and finding vendors for that particular day is not easy. I was going through some bridal emails and came across Faces by April. I was looking for a very natural look, as I'm the type of person who doesn't wear much makeup. I didn't want to feel pasty either. I did a trial run with April and was absolutely in awe and in love with the work that she did. Not only is she good, she has her own line! She is just phenomenal and all my brides maids and my mom were raving about how amazing they looked and how beautiful they felt. I felt amazing and I have to say, my makeup lasted all night long. I'm sure if I hadn't taken it off that night, I would have looked phenomenal the next morning. They are planning on scheduling some makeup tutorials with her in the future.

s. Everyone was amazed at how good April is at her job. She connects with you from the start and will do whatever it takes to make sure your day is absolutely perfect. April, words truly do not express how much I appreciate you for everything you did for me on my wedding day, not only for making my bridal party so drop dead gorgeous but for the way you took control of any minor blips in the road. You knew what I wanted when I didn't know how to express it and you made absolutely sure that it was executed. I cannot thank you enough. I highly highly recommend April & will definitely continue to be a client of hers for my future make up needs!!!
