About this vendor
“I believe all women are pretty without makeup—but with the right makeup they can be pretty powerful.” – Bobbi Brown
Growing up interested in art and dance, I have always found creative ways to showcase beauty. Many years of applying stage makeup and practicing my artwork left me with a passion for makeup and a skill set that comes naturally. Bringing my artistry to makeup was a seamless transition into a rewarding career as a professional Makeup Artist.
With over fifteen years in the makeup industry creating inspired looks for clients comes naturally and is extremely rewarding. I began my career after attending the Long Island Beauty School and have since worked with many high-end brands and artists that have helped me grow into the professional I am today. Joining the makeup team for MAC Cosmetics as my first job was an amazing opportunity. During 6 years with MAC, I was exposed to the glamorous side of makeup through my participation in many celebrity-sponsored events and NY Fashion Week. After years of gaining experience on the makeup team, I moved forward in my career as the manager of Armani Makeup and eventually the Regional Makeup Artist for Smashbox Cosmetics. While I traveled the northeast in my position with Smashbox, my bridal makeup business began to take off and with that, DM Makeup Artistry was born!
Having been on my own with DM Makeup for the past 10 years, I have been able to craft a team of 10 amazing ladies who help me achieve my dream of not only running a successful business, but creating glamorous, high quality makeup looks for an array of client types. I have been so fortunate to work with celebrity clients such as Katherine Narducci (Soprano’s, Netflix movie The Irishmen and Epix’s The Godfather of Harlem), Mercedes Javid (Bravo’s The Shah’s of Sunset), Anne Winters (Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why), Kimmie Shields (Netflix’s Insatiable), Danielle Staub and Teresa
Giudice(Bravo’s RHONJ), and Angelina Pivarnick (Jersey Shore). My work has also been featured in various fashion ad campaigns or events for designer Donna Degnan and Randi Rahm, Pinina Tornai as well as a number of music videos for recording artist, Lisa Pure. My skills brought me to work for celebrities attending high profile events like the Oscars, Golden Globes, Screen Actors Guild, MTA Music Awards, Hamptons Film Festival, Bravo Con while also giving me the opportunity to work with very talented people in the beauty business.

Darian is hands down such a talented artist. I couldnt be happier with my wedding reception makeup. I had trouble finding someone who could work with my skin and accomplishing the look I was going for but finding Darian was the best thing that couldve happened. I told her all of my concerns and the final result was just amazing. I always looked like an elevated version of myself. Not only is she a talented artist, she is such a fun person and makes the vibes LIT. Love u Darian <3
What an amazing experience booking with Darian. My makeup looked absolutely flawless on my wedding and lasted all day and night. I could never have imagined my makeup looking this amazing. She listened to everything I envisioned and made it come to life. Her professionalism and expertise was above and beyond. Her team was amazing for my bridal party and everyone looked gorgeous. Booking with Luci for all my appointments and scheduling of the bridal party was seamless. The staff was courteous and professional and quickly responded to emails. I can only praise Darian and her amazing team for making my wedding day as amazing as it was. Thank you!!
Darian did an amazing job on my wedding day! She also came for touch ups as part of the package I chose, took amazing behind the scenes photos and videos, and overall was a great pleasure to work with! I had so many compliments on my makeup. Anytime I need makeup I will be booking with Darian!
Darian, Luci, and her team are the absolute best in the business! When I booked my wedding, Darian was the first vendor I booked. Luci makes the booking process seamless and goes above and beyond to get you booked. The girls on her team are all absolutely incredible, I had booked glam with Darian for every event since I met her at my cousin's wedding. They are beautiful inside and out and will truly make your glam visions come to life! My entire bridal party looked stunning from 4:30 am until after hours at our wedding. You will have no regrets booking with any one of these top-notch professionals!!! <3 Thank you ladies for EVERYTHING!
From the minute I contacted Luci to begin booking Mariela and Marielle I fell in love with her personality. She was clear and concise at all times and answered each and every question I had at any time throughout the whole year of planning. Luci was always prompt in her responses. The day of my bridal trial I was greeted by Mariela and she is by far the sweetest and most beautiful person inside and out. We reviews some images and ideas I had as it was for my bridal shower. When I left there Mariela had made his new second time mom feel beautiful and alive again. I felt stunning and excited to show off my new look at the shower. Fast forward to the wedding day Oct 13, 2024. Mariela arrived on time and ready to get just glamming up me and my girls. Mariela brought Marielle with her as well who also did a remarkable job. She was so happy and personable and met all of the girls expectations and more. They each felt beautiful! Mariela knew I loved my trial but since changing my hair style that week and look of my dress we needed to do a full “GLAM Makeover”. Mariela beyond glammed me up for the most important day of my life. I felt gorgeous and glamorous! She executed the look beyond my expectations! I loved working with all of them and look forward to the next event I can get “Glammed up” don’t hesitate book your appointment now! You won’t regret it! 💕💕
We were so truly fortunate to have had Darian come into our lives. This beautiful woman infuses beauty and class wherever she goes and to whoever she touches.
From the moment we met Darian, we knew that our bride and bridal party would connect with her. Darian brings a calming presence and human touch to what can often be an anxious and stressful day. She is genuinely down to earth and peaceful...yet so fun and funny, too. She is uber-professional, on-time, efficient, and so on-trend.
Darian has an awesome sense of style and a magical touch that brings out the most fabulous qualities in every woman to make them sparkle. She accepts inspo pics, makes suggestions and creates a fabulous face that will look natural and yet also photograph insanely great.
Darian is so easy to work with, and scheduling is a breeze thanks to her amazing assistant Luci, who is incredibly sweet and kind. Trials are great and with Darian and transition right up to the same look for the Big Day, or can be tweaked as needed. Darian has seen it all and does it all.
We recommend Darian without hesitation. We will surely use her again and again for future special events that we plan to attend.
Do not hire anyone else. Trust me when I say that Darian is THE best person to have by your side on your wedding day. She is the very BEST makeup professional that you will find anywhere.
Pick Darian!
Darian and Luci were incredible from the very beginning up to my wedding day. I had full trust in Darian. Not only is she so sweet and personable, she is extremely talented. I highly recommend Darian and Luci for your glam. I will definitely work with them again in the future. Thanks girls. Xoxo
Before I write my review on the amazing Darian, let me first tell everyone how amazing her assistant Luci is. She was so easy to work with and so sweet when things came up, she’s one of the first people you speak with when booking and she truly is a great first impression. The first trial I had with Darian, I knew I was going to book my wedding with her. She is the most kind, caring, and sweetheart of a woman. She’s professional yet fun and I felt totally comfortable with her and she truly has become a friend! I booked one of Darians makeup packages and in my opinion it was absolutely worth it . She did my engagement pictures, bridal shower, and wedding makeup. She also, did my sister’s and mother’s makeup and they could not stop raving. She asked me what I wanted for every single application and did not disappoint at all. My makeup was stunning for every occasion ad my guests couldn’t stop complimenting me. I don’t have the most ideal skin, and even when my skin was breaking out, she made me look flawless. I am definitely booking with Darian for any future events I have and I have already recommended her to all of my family and friends! If you’re thinking of booking a trail with Darian, I would jump the gun because she is that good.
Darian was absolutely amazing, not only for my wedding but I had also booked 2 trials with her as it was included in the package I picked (1 for my bridal shower and 1 for my rehearsal dinner). The amount of compliments I received was insane and I am so grateful for Darian making me look and feel amazing. I would recommend her to everyone I know. Also, my bridesmaids loved the girls on her team. The process of booking Darian was super easy and Luci was so helpful, especially with getting in trial dates pretty last minute being my fault. Thank you Darian & Luci! <3
SHE IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!
If you want FLAWLESS makeup that will last for 17 hours and have your guests telling you that you look like an angel book Darian and her team! I first met Darian because she did my sisters makeup where I was the MOH. Once I sat in that chair I told her I’d be booking her for my wedding one day. Fast forward to my own engagement and Darian was the first call I made. It was truly a blessing that she had availability for me (she books up very fast and literally does celebrity level makeup). Darian and her team are down to earth, sweet and amazing people with personalities that add BIG TIME to your wedding morning experience. She keeps the wedding morning moving with ease, good vibes and a lot of laughs to make everything and everyone comfortable. As soon as Darian walks in the room you don’t want her to leave because it feels like you are with a long time friend. Not only that but her team is top level professionals that had my entire bridal party beaming with how happy they were about their makeup. She also has an incredibly organized support team that helps you with the booking, schedule for your morning, and making sure you are comfortable with the contract/payment plan. I cannot recommend Darian enough and I will be using her and her team for any other major life events I have. She is truly one of the sweetest souls. Your face is literally the most important part of your photos, and that’s coming from someone who does not typically do a lot of makeup or glam. I cannot emphasize enough the amount of compliments I got on my wedding day makeup. Literally had family members telling me I looked like Carrie Underwood like what?!?!? Darian is a dream MUA. BOOK DARIAN ASAPPPPPP.
I was extremely clueless when it came to booking hair & makeup for my wedding but let me tell you Darian and her team took me under their wing from the minute I booked. Each and every one of the team there was truly amazing, caring and eager to help. They made sure I had EVERY beauty recommendation ( facials, tanning, extensions) prior to my wedding and then Luci the amazing scheduler sat with me and handled my very large bridal parties day of schedule. Mariela my makeup artist was phenomenal - she really listened to my needs and my makeup stayed throughout several emotional moments throughout the day. Ashley my hair stylist did 3 trials with me and we finally got it right. She was truly an angel - she made sure we got the look right and night of she stayed with me to do touch ups. Each and every artist is a gem Claudia, Shay, Jamie and the amazing Angela of course made all my family and friends feel beautiful which is all I could ask for on my special day. This team is truly amazing and I could not recommend them enough.
I love Darian and I will use her and recommend her to anyone years to come. Mine and my mother’s makeup never looked so good and people continue to say how beautiful we both looked on my wedding day. I can’t thank her enough.
You can tell she has a natural gift and a passion and she loves all her brides.
Darian was professional through out the whole booking process! From my trial I was immediately impressed. She surpassed every expectation I had for my wedding day look! She came early, made sure everything went smooth and blew my mind with my wedding day makeup for me, my mom and mother in law. She listened to exactly what everyone wanted! I would recommend Darian to anyone! Besides being super professional, she was so sweet and great!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Darian's work. Weeks before my wedding, I ran into a situation where I had to quickly find an MUA that was available to work with me. I felt awful stress and pressure, and when I reached out to Darian, everything fell into place! The scheduling process was seamless with Luci, her booking manager, who was an absolute delight! She did everything in her power to accommodate my needs, and soon connected me with Darian!
Due to my crunched timeline, I decided to skip having a trial. One of my main concerns is that my skin, though it is in great condition, is still not 20 year old skin. At 36, I do my makeup quite differently than I did when I was younger and barely wear any. I voiced this, and she reassured me that she knew exactly what to do. I will say this....her work and reputation speaks for themselves; I had complete faith that I would look exactly the way I wanted to for my wedding day, after I hung up with her.
AND I DID!! Darian READS your face when she works with you, knows your colors, and and takes her time, all while using a wonderfully light hand. That morning flowed seamlessly, and I felt like I was hanging out with a friend that I've known for years. Her naturally hilarious and genuine personality added the greatest energy to the start of my special day, and her work did NOT BUDGE ALL NIGHT! Through all the hugs, kisses, sweating from dancing, my happy tears..it stood ON with absolutely no touch ups. In all my 36 years of life, this was the only day that I didn't need to reapply any makeup, with the exception of lipstick due to eating yummy food all night lol.
She is the only MUA that I want to work with from now, on! An undeniable talent and absolute treasure of a human!
Thank you Darian and the DM Team for making me feel like a queen on my special day!!
Shay and Mia were amazing! An absolute pleasure to work with!
There are not enough words to describe how amazing Darian and her team are!! From start to finish these girls killed it and made all of us look flawless- I’ve never gotten so many compliments before and my makeup lasted ALL night! Darian is so down to earth and really takes her time to make sure your makeup is perfect! I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have Darian do my makeup on my big day!!
Darian is the ABSOLUTE BEST! She is the most beautiful person inside and out and her work is STUNNING! Darian and her team helped make my wedding process so smooth and easy, I can't thank them enough for everything they did. My girls all looked gorgeous for my big day! Seriously, look no further if you need a makeup artist. Engagement party, bridal shower, wedding, and EVERYTHING in between, Darian is your girl!!!!
I could not recommend Darian enough!! My wedding day makeup was perfect, everything I dreamt of, and lasted the entire day and night! I have never felt more beautiful and received so many compliments! Darian took her time and made sure everything was exactly how I wanted. Not only was my makeup perfect, but my mom and matron of honor who Darian did also looked perfect! The assistants that Darian brought to do my bridesmaids were amazing also! Every single girl looked amazing and felt amazing about their makeup! But most importantly, not only did Darian and her team make sure everyone looked amazing, but they all had the best energy, attitudes, and vibes the whole morning. Making sure everyone was having fun and feeling good. Darian also went above and beyond when my matron of honor really needed it and I can never thank her enough for that. Hands down Darian was the best decision I made and her and her team made my wedding morning!!!
WHERE TO BEGIN???? I wish there a million stars for me to give Darian and that still wouldn’t be enough!
I had a destination wedding in Italy, Darian came alone with no help and for all 3 days she did everyone on her own. Everyday she showed up ready to work and absolutely kill it!! She knows exactly how to read someone face and just gets to work. She makes you feel so COMFORTABLE, takes time to understand your vision and then does her own homework and based on what you want she also shows you option of gorgeous looks that she know your face type and structure will carry well. She does it with you step by step so nothing is a surprise at the end and makes sure you’re ok with how its coming along the way.
Not only does Darian have a gift and a Half when it comes to makeup, but she is also the most beautiful soul inside and out!!! Darian stayed with me the entire day making sure i constantly looked unreal and perfect. Not only did she do that, but she only took on other hats and help me with outfit changes and personal things a hectic Bride needs assistance with.
My sister in laws both said “I have been in a lot of weddings and this is the most i have ever liked my makeup before”. She made everyone look flawless and just felt like the best versions of themselves.
Forget my actual wedding party, my wedding guest list fell in love with Darian as well. There is not enough amazing things i could say about this gorgeous human. She is a dream to work with made my life as a bride and everyone else’s so easy, and she is also so accommodating and worked so well with out hair stylist as well. Bride tip: USE DARIAN !!!! I promise you will not regret it.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME LOOK LIKE A TRUE QUEEN EVERYDAY OF MY WEDDING WEEK! I love you!!

Darian & her team are the BEST in the industry!!!!! They are so beyond talented and such a great time as well. Darian is a true magician she made me feel like an absolute princess on my wedding day. Shay did my mom, mother in law, aunt, and all my bridesmaids and everyone look incredible.
Darian is the absolute best in the game! She is genuine, talented, kind and overall truly amazing at what she does. Her team is entirely professional and talented as well.
Darian was absolutely amazing. Not only is she an amazing artist, she is so personable and makes you feel beautiful.
Darian did my make up for my wedding and I couldn't be any happier!!! She legit made me feel like the prettiest girl there. Her technical skills are out of this world!
Mariela did such an amazing job not only making me (bride) beautiful but also my bridesmaids and mother. She is a truly talented MUA, everyone was sooo happy!!!! We were all different skin tones, varying ages, and concerns (e.g., acne, eczema, rosacea, wrinkles, sensitive skin). The makeup looked flawless in person and in pictures. I highly recommend this vendor. My heart is full ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Darian is beyond amazing. Not only is her work absolute perfection, but she is an absolute gem herself. I had two trials with her (one of her packages) and my wedding day makeup and every time it was flawless. The team she brings with her for the day of is also amazing. I cannot recommend her enough.
I booked a package with her that included two trials, my makeup and one other person the day of the wedding and she stayed for touchups until the ceremony. She was kind enough to touch up all of the bridesmaids and the moms throughout the day (even touched up my husbands bald head to decrease she shine lol). And on top of it all, she took a ton of pictures and videos for me during the day and during our photos, so I had an entire album of content the day after my wedding! She is literally the best.
The best decision I've made (...aside from marrying my hubby, of course!) was to hire Darian to do my wedding makeup!! First and foremost, she is the absolute sweetest person and will always make you feel top priority and super comfortable. Her communication throughout the entire process is amazing and she will listen to exactly what you want, while giving you ideas that you never knew you needed! She did two trials for me and my wedding day makeup this past weekend. The only reason we did a second trial was because I needed another hair trial and wanted to see the new hairstyle with full makeup - so why not try a second makeup look as well to give myself more options for the big day? We tried a warm color tone look, and then a cool color tone look, and I swear every time Darian did my makeup it was FLAWLESS and made me feel so beautiful! It also lasted all day and then some every single time. No need for touch ups or anything! Even my bridesmaids were amazed and said they were super impressed by her attention to detail. Both my mom and my hubby's mom were also loving the assistants that did their makeup. The assistants who did their makeup were very patient, listened to what they wanted, and made them feel super comfortable. If Darian Marie and her team are available for your wedding date, don't hesitate, just book them! You'll be amazed at what they can do! :D
Shay was absolutely AMAZING! I would 100% recommend her to be your head artist for your wedding! She listens to your ideas and gives you her feedback if you’re not exactly sure of the look you want. Not only as the bride was I beyond happy with everything she did but my bridesmaids and mom were so pleased with her and her work.
Darian is a QUEEN!! I genuinely love her. Besides being extremely talented her personality and vibes are just amazing.
DM MUA did my wedding make up and I had a fantastic experience. They are organized, committed and excellent in their professionalism and work. They are pros in wedding make up. Shruti and Claudia did an amazing job to our bridal party. Shruti made me look beautiful and created 2 different looks for the day. Everyone was raving, how awesome I looked. Overall a great experience and would recommend them again!
Darian is simply the best of the best! She was punctual, made me feel so comfort while I was in her chair and most importantly made me feel like a true princess on my wedding day! I will hire her for every special event moving forward!
Darian is the best of the best when it comes to glam. I was lucky enough to book her for THREE wedding events, including my big day. She has an unbelievable skill that can't be matched. And not to mention.. she has a team of girls to match! She made me feel comfortable and understood through my entire wedding. I booked the package for her to stay until late and also do the makeup of two people of my choosing. One being my sister in law who sent me a personal message - that she hasn't felt that beautiful since her own wedding day. If you want to feel like the stunning angel bride you are, book Darian.
Darian is the BEST! Not only is she amazing at what she does, but she has such a wonderful personality and brings a positive energy to your wedding day. I highly recommend Darian and look forward to using her for future events!
This woman does absolute wonders and miracles! Not only does she bring her skills and transform you with absolutely stunning makeup, but also brings the party! Darian and her staff jammed out and danced with us all day long, completely keeping my mind off all the jitters I had the day of my wedding. My makeup lasted all day, through outdoor pictures and occasional rain without flaw. Run, don't walk to book if you're considering using Darian and her team. You won't be disappointed! 🖤
I refused to get married without Darian. My best friend used Darian as her makeup artist at her wedding and I LOVED my makeup. I actually picked my wedding date making sure Darian was available because she is THAT incredible. My friends and I talk about her often and how she is an absolute queen with what she does. Don’t get married without her- just don’t.
Darian is absolutely amazing!!! I found her on instagram and immediately knew i needed her to do my makeup for my wedding. The way she does makeup is soooo flawless. Not only is she amazing at what she does but she also is the NICEST person ever. Shes so great all around. BOOK HER NOW!!
Had the BEST experience with this team! Would definitely recommend!!
Darian did my makeup at my wedding and it was honestly perfection!!! Her overall vibe is so positive and fun, I felt like I was doing my makeup with my girlfriends! Everyone was impressed with how natural my makeup looked yet flawless all at the same time! Darian is a true artist, I would recommend her to every bride!!!!
Darian was the most amazing makeup artist that I could have asked for! She truly made my wedding day even better because of her talent, professionalism, and kind heart. She not only made me look and feel beautiful, but she also helped calmed my nerves on my wedding morning. My whole family and bridal party adored her, she really mad everyone feel so comfortable. Her assisting makeup artist, Claudia, was amazing as well. All of my bridesmaids looked amazing and were very happy with their makeup. I couldn’t recommend Darian enough and I want her to do my makeup every opportunity I can!!! Thank you for contributing to my special day.
I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Darian and her team. She is an INCREDIBLE makeup artist and is as sweet as can be! Darian and her team are responsive, kind, and unbelievably talented. When using Darian for my wedding day, everyone LOVED their makeup and mine. I can't recommend Darian and her team enough!!!!
Darian Marie is not only an incredible make up artist, but an amazing person! She made me feel like we've known each other forever, she was so sweet and calmed my nerves with ease! Ive never felt more beautiful, she did my makeup so so so amazing. I loved it so much😭 thank you so much for what you do, us brides are so lucky to have you!
Darian and her team has exceeded my expectations! Always timely answering any emails or addressing concerns but most importantly made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. Darian not only is talented in what she does but is such a sweet and fun person to be surrounded by on your wedding day! My makeup as well as my bridesmaids lasted the whole night! Thank you Darian and your team for making my special day even better!
Darian and her team were INCREDIBLE. I cannot say enough good things- they were so easy to communicate with, worked in a timely manner, added such a fun vibe to my wedding morning and were able to achieve all of the looks myself and my wedding party wanted. They are so talented and Darian is a doll!
Darian and her team are absolutely phenomenal. The entire booking/ scheduling process was seamless from start to finish with excellent communication. Darian is beyond talented, as are her artists. She made me feel my most beautiful on my wedding day and my bridal party looked stunning. I would book her and her team again in a heartbeat.
Darian Marie is absolutely the best I am so grateful she was available for my wedding date! It was dream to work with her. She is the best in Business she listens to what look you want and the sweetest person ever! I adore her! also she professional and talented I can't wait for my next event too book her .
Darian and her team were prompt, professional, and SO much fun. Starting with reaching out for availability and pricing, emails were responded to so fast, and the process of booking, signing a contract, and setting up a trial was absolutely seamless. Not to mention, Darian and her team did a AWESOME job. They listened to everyone’s requests. My sister who never wears makeup was apprehensive about getting any makeup done but in the end looked and felt beautiful while still feeling like her natural self. The mothers and grandmothers looked youthful and stunning, and my bridesmaids who love makeup and can do it themselves all felt like supermodels. Darian did my make up which lasted literally 24+ hours since I slept in it (oops) and it didn’t budge! The artistry and the vibes while getting our makeup done were exactly what everyone needs for their wedding (or big event). Absolutely cannot recommend Darian and her team more.
Darian and her team was amazing on my special day. Darian is so warm and friendly and made me feel so comfortable. Her team was so fast professional on time and made everyone look so beautiful. Her booker Sue is amazing was so responsive and helped me out so much through out the whole process. Darian came back to the venue and did touch ups for everyone even attended our ceremony. My husband wanted me to look like myself just better version it was very important to him. She doesn’t put to much make up and doesn’t use filters when she posts you to your social media. She has a customer for life and I am so glad I chose her to do my makeup for my special day.
The best!
She is amazing! If you’re looking for glam wedding makeup for yourself and your bridesmaids, you must use Darian. She worked with me through 2 trials to determine what I liked best. Not only does she do amazing work, but she’s so sweet and fun to work with.
Darian was the second vendor I booked once we picked our date. Her work is unmatched and I loved my initial trial I had with her so much that I booked her for our engagement pictures and then again to try a different look a month before our wedding. She is so down to earth, easy to talk to and it feels like you’re just hanging out with a friend. If you’re looking for a more glam look and want make-up that will last you all day and photograph beautifully, look no further–she is your girl. I had 10 bridesmaids + MOB+MOG and she brought two assistants, Marielle and Mariela and they were both fantastic. I will be using Darian for any and every event I have going forward! RUNNNN DO NOT WALK if she is available for your big day!!
Darian is AMAZING! You feel glammed to the heavenssss!!!
She is also hilarious and so easy to love. Down to earth, will listen to you, gives off good energy and truly loves her job.
She listens to you and will give you her honest opinion. I am the pickiest person, I love glam, skin care etc and I swear for both my shower and wedding I barely even gave her direction and both times didnt change a thing once she was finished. She is a true artist.
Darian was the absolute best!!!! The makeup she did on me for my wedding celebration was so classy and beautiful. I loved the look so much. I didn't come with any specific look in mind and trusted Darian 100%. She exceeded my expectations.
All of my party's makeup was amazing and it lasted all night long.
I would recommend Darian and team over and over again.
P.S. She is also the sweetest person ever.
I booked Darian two months before my wedding after my original makeup artist cancelled. The only thing I regret is not booking her in the first place.
Darian is not only a beautiful soul, she is a fantastic makeup artist. She listened to me when I told her about certain things I did and did not want. My wedding makeup looked absolutely incredible. I got married on the hottest day in May and was sweating on the dance floor. My makeup looked completely untouched the entire time! She is 100% worth the price, I can promise you. Get a trial with her, provide feedback, and she will make you absolutely gorgeous on your wedding day. I asked for soft glam, since I still wanted to look like “myself” on my wedding day, and she have me just that.
I am looking forward to booking a makeup class with Darian in the future.
Darian really is the best ever! My friend had used Darian a few years ago and she did an amazing job. I knew then that when the time came I would use her for my wedding. I never even booked a trial because I had seen her work before and follow her on Instagram. She arrived the day of my wedding with a great energy and vibe and I sat back and let her work her magic. She was professional, efficient, super cool and my makeup looked absolutely stunning. I have no words to describe how beautiful she made me feel that day. Darian is extremely talented and I would highly recommend for anyone who wants to feel gorgeous for any special event!
I had my ceremony and small bridal-party only celebration in 2021 and postponed my big reception to 2022. We nicknamed our parties 1.0 (2021) and 2.0 (2022) because we literally used 1.0 as a trial to make 2.0 bigger and better.
I used Darian for 2.0. Darian is an artist. My mother got into an accident 2 days before the wedding and had a black eye, brushing, stitches, etc. all on her face. After Darian was finished, you couldn’t even tell. There’s a reason why she’s constantly booked up - she’s amazing! I danced so hard all night long and didn’t get airbrush (which I was a little concerned about because I had airbrush for 1.0), but my makeup stayed all night long. Fabulous fabulous!! I will use her over and over again.
Darian is the BEST!!! I am really picky when it comes to having my makeup done, and she exceeded all expectations after my first trial with her! I did a trial with her for my engagement shoot and it was amazing. I did a second trial just to try a different look and was still obsessed. She is not only INCREDIBLE at doing makeup, she also is your friend!!! She is so nice and funny - I love her!!! I couldn't have wished for anything more on my wedding day with her doing my makeup. She brought two other girls who were also insanely talented for my bridesmaids. I could not recommend her more - BOOK HER!!!
If you are looking for a makeup artist for your wedding or special event, look no further than Darian. She has extensive experience in bridal, celebrity, and special event makeup. I knew Darian was the right choice in wedding day makeup as she was one of the FEW makeup artists who even personally responded to my email inquiry. She has 0 ego, is extremely communicative, beyond professional, takes note and provides suggestions on how to look and feel your best on your special day. I can't stress enough how happy I was with Darian's makeup application for my wedding day, I will never look that good again! LOL. Highly, highly suggest her to anyone needing a makeup artist for their wedding or special occasion in the tri-state area. Darian gets it!!!
I am so lucky to have had Darian do my makeup for my wedding. Ever since our first phone call I knew I needed her to do my makeup for my special day! Her and her team did my makeup along with 10 other bridesmaids and it was all done professionally & smoothly the morning of. Her and her team were amazing and everyone got compliments all day long. I also had Darian do touch ups for me at my venue. My makeup barely moved, but knowing I had Darian there for small touch ups put my mind at ease the day of. After receiving all my photos back, my makeup looks amazing in EVERY photo. From the morning to the night after sweating and dancing my makeup was still flawless. I can’t recommend Darian and her team enough. She’s amazing 😍
Darian is one of the best makeup artists I have ever worked with. I have known her for a very long time and she has never disappointed. I have used her for my fashion shows and photoshoots in the past and was beyond excited to have her do my wedding party. My family and friends looked incredible. They were so happy with everything and you could tell they were all having fun during, because they were laughing the whole time.
Darian is the best ever!!! She knows all the modern techniques, works very quickly and efficiently.
One thing I really like about her is she makes it more like a collaboration. She included me in the decisions of colors and techniques and made each person look incredible on their own. I can not wait to hire her again!!
Darian and her team are absolutely amazing!!! The entire team showed up on time (honestly even earlier) for a 5:30am start and are a pleasure to work with. Darian is an absolute sweetheart and truly made the morning of my wedding so happy and relaxing.
I don't typically wear makeup and was worried about not looking myself with a full face of makeup on my wedding day. During my trial, Darian really took the time to make sure I was comfortable with each step. My wedding makeup was absolutely FLAWLESS! I did a touch up before my reception and Darian suggested to go a little darker on the makeup to change up the look. I was a little nervous since I normally don't wear makeup but I can't tell you how many compliments I received! I cannot recommend Darian enough! She is so talented and I can't wait for her to do my makeup again :)
Darian was AMAZING from start to finish- so easy to work with, honest with what looked best on me and overall the sweetest person!!!! She was such a wonderful, calming presence to be around on my wedding day- and her work speaks for itself! She's so insanely talented!!!
Darian is the best there is. She listened to exactly what I wanted and absolutely killed it; she made me feel the most beautiful I have ever felt. Aside from her talent she is so humble, sweet, and easy to talk to. She was my favorite vendor for sure!!
There is no one else I would have rather had do my glam on my big day! Darian is as beautiful a person on the inside as she is on the outside. A true professional, hype woman, and friend on your big day, Darian calmed all my nerves and knew exactly what to do to keep me supported through the process. Can’t wait for an excuse to have my make up done by Darian again!
Darian is the absolute best makeup artist! She made me feel my most beautiful on my wedding day. Not only is she extremely talented but she is very sweet! Thank you Darian!!
My review for Darian and her team is long overdue! My wedding date was initially 11/27/20 and I postponed to 8/14/21. Booking with Darian was the easiest process and she was able to accommodate my new date with ease. I knew about Darian and her team from my friend who always uses Darian for events. I am extremely picky when it comes it makeup and I can’t express how amazing my makeup and all of my bridesmaids’ makeup came out. Darian and her girls did makeup for over 12 people that day and our makeup stayed flawless throughout the August heat. They are the sweetest most professional makeup artists and listen to exactly what you want. I could go on forever when I say Darian and her team are the absolute best. They made such a hectic day feel relaxed as well. Every girl including myself felt absolutely beautiful that day. The best!!!!
Love Darian! Not only is she great at what she does but she is also very personable, funny and made my bridal party feel comfortable and at ease. She even did a little makeup on my teen flower girl that was not part of the contract. Her work is amazing and I would absolutely contact her again for any special occasions.
Darian and her team are the best! My trial with Darian was amazing and my makeup the day of my wedding was flawless. So many tears and my makeup did not move at all!
Darian was an amazing makeup artist and I felt comfortable with her from the first time we spoke. She took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for on my big day and totally delivered! My makeup looked stunning as did my bridesmaids. They were all so happy with how they looked and were complimented all night long! Would definitely recommend Darian to any bride!!!
Phenomenal is how I have to describe Darian! I started with a bridal trial, I was blown away with how beautiful she made me feel. She seriously slays the makeup game. We had great conversation with lots of laughs. She is so sweet and genuinely down to earth. I knew she was the one for me. The day of my wedding she exceeded all expectations I had for her. I can’t thank her enough for glamming me into a beautiful bride! I will be definitely be booking her again!!
I was looking for a makeup artist last minute for my wedding and luckily Darian Marie was available. I’m so glad I had her as my makeup artist! Not only is her work amazing but she is a sweetheart! My mother, sister and I absolutely adore her! Will definitely book her again for other events!
Darian is the absolute best makeup artist that there is. Not only is her craft excellent but her energy is so lovely to be around on one of your most important days. She did not only feel like one of the girls she was one of the girls as we were all getting ready. Each bridesmaid looked gorgeous but truly like themselves, accentuating all of their features. One of my bridesmaids even hired her right on the spot for her own upcoming wedding. There is nobody like Darian out there. She is 100000/10 the best of the best.
Darian was simply amazing! My makeup was flawless and lasted the entire night. As soon as I had a wedding date, she was the first vendor I booked because I knew how amazing she was from a previous wedding I was in. I would book her again a million times over.
Darian is amazing! I keep saying how amazing I looked on my wedding day. She is a true professional and down to earth person.
Everything you envision, she will make happen. She is an artist at heart and such a talented person. She truly made me feel flawless. I recommend her to everyone I know.
I fell in love with Darian’s makeup just from her portfolio. Once I booked my trial I was instantly in love. Not only does she do an amazing job but she’s simply the best! If I needed my makeup done for an event I would surely book her to do my makeup again. I will praise her over and over. She is literally the best. She also brought a second artist with her who did just as an amazing job. Mariella made my bridesmaids look beautiful for my special day.
Not enough words to describe how amazing she is as a human and then makeup artist. I live in CA and didn’t have a trial. I know it sounds crazy, but i knew she was totally amazing and told her to do her thing. Omg it was flawless. The amount of compliments I got! She kept me so calm on my wedding morning, we laughed and danced. Hire her, she’s worth every single penny.
I HIGHLY recommend Darian for your Wedding day makeup, or any event you want to look and feel your best! Darian listens to what you’re looking for and makes you look flawless. She’s a true artist. My makeup lasted 16+ hours and still looked incredible. She’s the best of the best, and I don’t say that lightly. Worth every penny.
Darian is by far the best makeup artist i’ve ever had in my life!! She is just amazing super talented and super experienced. What makes her the best is she just takes your natural beauty and brings it out and makes it look easy. Had so much fun that morning ans trial wish I could do it everyday. The makeup lasted the entire night and i just got sooo many compliments all day, and I really just felt myself walking down the aisle! You seriously need to book her and stop wondering if you are reading this there is nothing to think about. Book her before she fills up. Book your wedding around her if makeup is number 1. Nothing compares she is the best hands down.
Darian and Erica were absolutely amazing!! Both arrived on time and were extremely professional. She listened to exactly what I wanted and was flexible if I changed my mind. They finished everyone on time without anyone feeling rushed and did touch ups as necessary. They made my bridesmaids and I feel and look beautiful! I would 100% recommend Darian and her team and hire her again for future events!
Absolutely amazing. Flexible with timing and so talented. Never felt more beautiful.
Darian is the best of the best! If you’re looking for flawless natural-looking glam, she is your girl! Darian and her team made my girls and I look gorgeous for my wedding day. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better!
Darian has made me feel so beautiful for my wedding and every event leading up to it! She made me feel extremely comfortable each and every time she did my make up. On my wedding day, Darian and her team were professional, punctual, and so kind to all of us. 14 of us needed our makeup done and we all looked amazing AND ended on time! I will definitely be using Darian in the future and would recommend her over and over again!
Darian is absolutely amazing! I first met during a friends wedding in 2018 and knew if I ever got married I had to use her. She caters to so many different styles and her work is stunning. Not only is she the most easy going fun person, she makes your day incredible!
I was introduced to Darian through a friend and fell in love with her work. She nailed my wedding look during my trial and over exceeded my expectations for my big day! Working with Darian was effortless, she is responsive and was flexible with all the changes what were made to our wedding during Covid. I Can’t wait to use her again in the future!
If you’re looking for a makeup artist for your wedding, do not look any further. Darian will make you feel like your most beautiful self - She is one of the most talented makeup artists I know. Not only is she extremely talented, but she is so fun to work with! She makes you feel completely at ease and really listens to you.
