Makeup by Danielle Arci

I knew I made the right choice the moment I walked into her home for my makeup trial. She took her time to get to know me-not just as a bride, but as a person. She took notes on my makeup and my sensitivities to lashes to prepare for the big day. I will say though, I had a terrible experience with fake lashes in the past, but when Danielle put them on me they felt sooo comfortable (and I wear contacts!). She puts her heart and soul into her clients and really makes their day all about them. She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. I cannot say enough about her organizational skills and professionalism. I am a teacher and saw that her organization is simply flawless. It really is hard to plan a wedding and try to work with several different vendors for a schedule. However, Danielle knew how to organize a room of 10 girls. She would tell me where I needed to be in 15 minutes which is sooo helpful especially when you are running late. We ran 30 minutes late in the morning which messed up our schedule, but Danielle was calm and super excited for me that it was my day! She got right to work! I have to add that she had an assistant and she would occasionally ask the assistant to grab something in her 1,000 makeup bags she brought. But the crazy thing is she would look at one of the girls and immediately ask for a specific foundation, brand, color, etc and told her assistant EXACTLY where to find it ( in a sea of 1,000 makeup bags!) This alone was insane and proves her organization and expertise! There were several girls skeptical about getting their makeup done for several reasons and Danielle heard their concerns, was patient with them, listened to what they wanted to look like and made them into freaking movie stars!!! They were all feeling themselves! (as they should because they looked glamorous!!) Sometimes makeup artists have beautiful work, but often there look is similar on most of their clients. Danielle makes each girl look unique and helps bring out their beautiful features without it contrasting the bride. My mother's makeup constantly runs and it didn't run AT ALL! My two aunts were in the bridal suite, not planning on getting their makeup done, but HAD to get it done with Danielle after seeing her work. Danielle stayed to help me put my veil on and for touch ups when other vendors left-really showing she cares! Two other girls at my wedding immediately booked her the next day after seeing her work on our faces. The makeup lasted all night and into the morning. I have worked with several vendors and she is one of the most professional! I really wanted to tell her to put a dress on and we will see her at the wedding because in the process of doing your makeup, she becomes your friend. Thank you Danielle for making each of us feel so beautiful, for being kind and excited for me!

enuine, and I can't imagine being in anyone else's hands on my big day. There was an issue without another Bride on my wedding day, and Danielle communicated with me early in the morning to keep me in the loop and we made a plan. She will always take care of you. Her lead assistant, Kelly, is a ROCKSTAR. I felt so fabulous and beautiful, as did all my girls. Thank you Danielle & Co. BOOK. HER. NOW!

-up all completed in a timely manner. Danielle and her team made the whole morning positive, upbeat, and overall enjoyable! I highly recommend her and her team!

quiring with Danielle, she was prompt and efficient, extremely friendly and easy to talk too. I was so nervous about hiring make up, but the second we started talking I knew she was exactly what I needed. Danielle even opened up to me on a personal level and really understood me, which was extremely important to me at the time. With a tremendous loss affecting me greatly during the months leading up to my wedding, I found not only an absolutely incredible talent in Danielle for her mastery in make up, but also a lifelong friend. Danielle executed my wedding day make up perfectly and I have never felt more beautiful. I thought I was blown away at my trial but the day of my wedding- I had no words! My bridal party undoubtedly felt the same and fell in love with her. Danielle really listens to her clients and understood my wants and needs, she assessed my skin and gave me recommendations to best prepare for my big day. Some of my girls wanted unique make up styles, some wanted a lighter natural look and I of course wanted glowing, dramatic bridal glam and Danielle could do it ALL. She even offered to stay and help some girls with their hair for touch ups before photos…you will not find anyone as genuine as Danielle in this industry. She was truly one of the best things to happen to me during this time! Don’t walk future brides…run! Best in the business.

ng presence and helped ease my nerves.

s going to love my wedding day glam and I also knew my bridal party was in good hands with Danielle’s amazing team of makeup artists. The day of the wedding Danielle did my makeup and really took her time giving me all her attention while her team worked on my bridal party of 10. They were fast, efficient, and just super friendly and nice. We were all chatting and laughing all morning long - it really helped ease any nerves or anxiety of the day. Danielle nailed my wedding day look and I felt like an absolute princess that day. I got so many compliments on my makeup and at the end of the day, after hours of pictures, dancing and sweating, my makeup looked as good as it did at 10am when it was put on!! I would definitely recommend Danielle and her team - 1,000%!!

lented artist. She made me feel so comfortable and stress free during a super stressful time. My bridesmaids are not easy to please when it comes to makeup (One of them being a makeup artist herself) but I was confident that we were in good hands with Danielle - and I was right! They totally nailed it and everyone looked absolutely amazing! We are using Danielle and her team again for my sisters wedding in March and I cannot wait! Feeling beautiful on your wedding day is so important -and I have never felt so amazing! There are a lot of tough decisions you have to make for your wedding day but this isn’t one of them! Hands down the best in the business! Thank you Danielle, Lindsay and Kelly! The Marsano/Kolyvas ladies love you! ❤️

nowledgeable! She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and felt my best. She brought her assistant Kelly who did my bridesmaids and they still talk about their make up to this day! Believe me when I say, You need Danielle and her team as your make up artist on your wedding day!!

oked like a princess (and same with all of the girls). I don't know how she does it, but there is literally not one picture I look bad in thanks to her! I wish I could post photos, but am hoping that writing her review before I even open my gifts is all you need. You don't need to look any further, Danielle is your girl!

to an extremely smooth morning for our wedding day! If you’re looking for not only beautiful transformations that are naturally appealing, but just truly down to earth, go with the flow & appreciative - book this crew - you’ll have guests flattering you all night long asking “who did makeup!?”

. 100% would recommend to anyone looking for a MUA. Thank you again Danielle <3

r, she gave me great recommendations for facial care, makeup products, and day-of items to feel my best on my wedding day. She listened to exactly what I wanted to look like and executed it perfectly, I have never felt more beautiful. I definitely would hire her for any future events and would recommend her to anybody for their wedding!!

nzed bride goddess! She is just absolutely the sweetest! My girls are very minimal with make up and her assistant, Kelly, made them all feel beautiful and confident! I highly recommend her & found my forever makeup artist!

d with me on changing my eye shadow color that morning. So happy with my makeup, I felt so gorgeous and it lasted all night!!! If you looking for someone to do your bridal makeup, definitely book Danielle!! She was so easy to work with and easy to communicate with. She was so helpful with planning my trial date to coordinate with my hair stylist so I could have both on the same day. Again, can’t express what an amazing job she did ❤️❤️❤️

ed me regularly updates, recommendations, and product reviews. She was thorough and explained things as she did it, which is totally not necessary but very much appreciated, especially by someone who has a slight interest in make up. She worked with my venue many times and it was an easy process. While bridal make up might seem expensive, she is 100% worth it. Her pricing is competitive but her work is better than most.

ong with her (I forget her name sorry) was equally as amazing. 10/10 would absolutely use her again if ever needed.

y felt like a princess!

you feel beautiful. And her girls- Kelly and Janell- unbelievable! My bridesmaids and mother/MIL looked stunning! Danielle and her team take the time to listen to you and also share their input. The day I had my makeup trial I got a flat tire and had to stand outside in the 100 degree Jersey heat- and guess what? My makeup still looked FLAWLESS! Danielle and her team are punctual and professional and do such an outstanding job. I recommend to everyone!!

sed. I had a few bridesmaids making me anxious and she took control of the situation and calmed me down and I can’t thank her enough for that. I would absolutely use her again!

n fake eyelashes for the first time and they felt comfortable the entire night. She was able to work with the different skin tones of all of my ladies. Danielle kept us on schedule and even reminded me to brush my teeth and put in my contact lenses before I sat in her chair. At my trial, we were able to talk through the wedding day and how it would run. She was very professional and I recommend her for your wedding!

ook her ASAP as she’s a hot commodity!!

she was so accommodating, kind and passionate about her craft. Danielle is a true artist and makes her brides look and feel their absolute best! She understands that each bride is different and tailors her work to fit the needs and wants of her brides. On the day of my wedding Danielle went above and beyond to make sure my bridesmaids and I felt as beautiful as we looked! She did not leave until she was sure her job was done. The entire night I was getting compliments on my makeup and the pictures came out gorgeous!

l! Thank you Danielle!!!

lle was fabulous to work with! At my trial, she provided tons of advice including how I should prep my skin for the months leading up to the wedding and what product I should purchase in order to touch-up my makeup throughout the wedding day! In addition to the makeup/skincare advice, Danielle was always there as a sounding board to help with hair styles, thoughts on jewelry, etc. She took so much stress out of the wedding planning process! Down to the few days before the wedding, I received text messages from Danielle asking if there was anything she could help me with. She is an absolute dream and a must-have for any Bride! I would recommend her over and over again, any day!!
