Makeup by Donna Rae & Hair Team

Donna Rae is absolute magic. From the trial to the day of, she transformed my look. I’ve, honestly, never felt as beautiful as I did on my wedding day. I can say that several of my Bridesmaids, daughter and mother in law felt the same. Donna Rae was professional and communicative. She listened to my vision and executed to perfection. Without her and Victoria, I wouldn’t be as enamored with how our wedding photos turned out!

Donna Rae is amazing! She is so skilled in makeup and asks so many knowledgeable questions as she's getting you ready to best assist with picking the correct products. She had 7 of us girls ready in 6 hrs which is incredible. All of our makeup lasted the entire day, and we looked marvelous the entire event. I am so grateful, thank you!

Donna Rae exceeded my expectations! Her makeup techniques and layering were flawless, and I really appreciated how easy going she was on any re-direction as we went. I felt so beautiful and happy with the result!

Donna Rae was a godsend on my wedding day! She really listened to my vision and adjusted things on the fly - and took the time to understand the needs of my skin. She was so knowledgeable, personable, and professional. I wish she could do my makeup everyday!!

DonnaRae was wonderful to work with! She made me feel so glam, while still looking like myself, which is exactly what I wanted. My make-up was PERFECT! My whole bridal party and mom loved their make-up as well!

Donna Rae and Victoria were the BEST to work with for my wedding!! They were so kind, and their makeup talent is unmatched! My bridal makeup was exactly what I wanted, and I felt so beautiful!! They were timely, organized, and helped to make the wedding morning so smooth. One of my bridesmaids later said to me, “I know it was your wedding, but I’ve truly never felt more beautiful.” HIGHLY RECOMMEND Donna Rae and Victoria for makeup, they are truly the best!

I booked Donna Rae and Victoria for my wedding in August 2023. They were both true professionals and skilled in what they do. I was pleased with the communication throughout the process of signing the contract, booking my trial, and everything leading up to the big day. All the verbal communication was also followed with email/texts to help make sure I had the details right in my memory. I am also not a hair and makeup person, so the beauty part of the wedding was the most overwhelming part for me and that is why I appreciated having their expertise. On the wedding day, they were both on time and stuck to our timeline with a good system to complete all the hair and makeup for my sisters, maid of honor, and mother of the groom/bride. My group was happy with all the hair and makeup and appreciative that touch ups were allowed granted. I would highly recommend Donna Rae and Victoria if you are looking for two professionals that can ensure you have a smooth process for your hair and makeup.

Victoria and Donna Rae did an incredible job for our group! Working with Victoria felt so effortless. She put together the schedule for the hair and make-up order and send out thorough procedural reminders that I could easily forward to my bridal party, which was a huge weight off my shoulders. Since I was an out-of-town bride, I didn’t have time to do a hair or make-up trial, but Victoria worked with me to assess styles would work for my hair. She was able to create a beautiful up-do based on an inspiration photo and work around my under-cut. The style stayed intact all night, standing up the wind and my dancing (not an easy feat for my hair texture). I was so pleased with the natural glowing looks that Donna Rae was able to provide for all my ladies. Everyone in the bridal party felt special and taken care of. Each person had a style they suited their personality and looked cohesive. The confidence that radiated from each woman after leaving Victoria and Donna Rae had finished was absolutely priceless.

Victoria and Donna Rae are fantastic! No need to look further for your hair and makeup team! They are so wonderful to talk with (don’t overlook this part of your wedding planning! You’ll be spending half your day with them!), are the best at their trade, and were very reasonably priced. Everyone looked so amazing, and they really took time to make sure you’re comfortable with the final result. Victoria took a lot of care to discuss my hair type and what was realistic with me. I’m a semi makeup-minimalist in real life, and Donna Rae was able to make me feel like a super model without feeling like my skin was bogged down. Additionally, I have a weird reaction to eye products and she was so gracious to use the off the beaten path product that I’ve found doesn’t cause any issues.

Donna was absolutely incredible. as someone who doesn’t wear a ton of makeup she made me feel so beautiful, with a very natural beauty glow. She made my mom and me both feel so beautiful on my wedding day. She helped make sure we felt confident when she was finished and talked us through the whole process. Donna truly is so talented. Together with Victoria for my hair they made me feel like the most beautiful bride.

Donna and Victoria were amazing! From communication when I first reached out to the trial to the wedding everything was seamless. As the bride my makeup and hair were exactly what I wanted (and more!) and all of my bridesmaids/MOH/mothers looked amazing too! Can’t recommend them enough for your wedding!

Victoria and Donna Rae are amazing!! Before the wedding, Victoria helped me figure out the best accessories to put in my hair. Donna Rae made some great recommendations for my skin care routine. We planned to get married in August to avoid rain on our wedding day, but of course it rained anyway… We still held the ceremony outside and afterwards you couldn’t even tell, my hair and makeup held up through water, wind, and dancing into the night. One of my bridesmaids loved their work so much she asked to add on services for herself! Thank you for everything ladies <3

We had such a great experience with Donna Rae and Victoria for my sisters wedding! They followed exactly what people were envisioning and completely blew our expectations! They made sure each and every person was perfect before they left and as the maid of honor, was so happy with my hair and makeup look. Not only are they incredibly skilled and professional, but so sweet and easy to work with. We were doing all the hair and makeup in a small room and they were easy to chat with, fun, and engaged. I would absolutely recommend hiring them for a wedding!!!

Victoria and Donna Rae were the absolute dream team for my wedding in Ballard, WA. From start to finish, they were professional, honest and accommodating to all of my requests. As someone who grew up with a hair stylist for mom, finding someone to do hair and makeup was an intimidating task, but Victoria and Donna Rae nailed it! They made each one of my bridesmaids and MOB/G look and feel so beautiful. I cannot thank you both enough! You are the best!

Loved working with Donna Ray! She is so easy to work with. She did such a great job on my wedding makeup. Everyone looked gorgeous!

Cannot recommend enough. On time and even finished a bit early. Very accommodating for both the trial and the day off.

Donna Rae and Victoria were so wonderful! It was the first time having my makeup and hair done that I actually felt completely heard for my vision, and as a result, I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. All of my attendants looked so lovely as well. I couldn't have been happier with the results and highly recommend working with both of them!

Thank you for the lovely time yesterday. You and Victoria made us look wonderful. I could not believe how amazing everyone looked. We looked like we could have walked out of a pinterest post 💖

Victoria and Donna Rae are the dream. Seriously. They do stunning work, are exceptional at achieving exactly your vision and on top of that, are so lovely! They both made my wedding day hair/mu beyond what I could have hoped for. My whole wedding party (who all opted for different looks) raved about their hair and makeup for weeks after the wedding as well. And just as importantly- their work looked beautiful in person, and somehow photographed even better. Cannot recommend them enough!

I’m so glad I had Victoria and Donna Rae for my wedding. They captured the moody Hollywood glam look I wanted perfectly, and still looked like me. I did a trial for both hair and makeup which was helpful in making sure the day of was smooth. My wedding party also had their hair done and whether it was an updo for medium-thick hair, styling for thin-short hair, or half up for longer hair, she made everyone look great. They both adapted to the unplanned smaller get-ready room with ease and made sure we all looked great without any hitches. I loved both my hair and makeup on my wedding day and wouldn’t change a thing!

Donna Rae and Victoria were a wonderful duo for hair and makeup. They truly made me, the mothers and all my bridesmaids absolutely stunning. They were able to work with various skin tones, complexions, hair styles etc., while also working quickly to get everyone done on time. I highly recommend booking them if you are looking for hair and makeup for your wedding.

Donna did an amazing job. She was very receptive to suggestions and she did a great job replicating the look I wanted but making it work for me. She was very responsive and prompt. I highly recommend her for any make up needs.

Donna Rae and Victoria made my adventurous elopement a dream come true. They did my hair and makeup for both a sunset ceremony and a very early sunrise photoshoot. I really appreciated their professionalism, punctuality, and attention to detail. I quite literally have never looked better than I did on my wedding day thanks to them. My hair and makeup lasted through happy tears during the ceremony and while hiking around our elopement location in the heat. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a team to take on an adventurous elopement.

Donna did the makeup for myself and rest of the bridal party. From the beginning, Donna was great to work with and genuinely interested in understanding what I was looking for. She was very collaborative during the process and I trusted her completely. I enjoyed the trial process and would recommend that to anyone as a way to talk through any changes. Donna followed up after the trial for feedback and if there were any questions. My makeup lasted all night and I received a lot of compliments. Thank you Donna!

Donna Rae and her team did both hair and makeup for my bridal party and did an incredible job. They were prompt, completed all ladies hair and makeup on time, and were alot of fun. Recommend to brides!

I was so happy to have Victoria and Donna Rae on wedding day. They helped me to feel calm and confident I was in good hands; allowing me to just enjoy the moments of getting ready. We did a trial and they listened to my feedback in order to ensure that the look felt just right for wedding day. On wedding day when the hair pieces was not as expected, they sprung into action problem solving and finding a solution that allowed both myself and sister to achieve the desired look with flowers in our hair. They truly went above and beyond, making it clear their priority is for you to feel your best on your big day. Thank you!!

Donna Rae was amazing. I don’t wear makeup in real life and so I was concerned about my makeup but she made me look like a supermodel. She was amazing. In addition, she is sweet, professional and fun.

Donna Rae was amazing! Our wedding was an outdoor wedding on the hottest day of July and my makeup lasted all day! I showed Donna Rae examples of what I wanted and am so happy with the end result! Highly recommend

Donna Rae & Victoria are a very talented duo, I am very grateful that I used them for wedding hair & makeup! I had a few ideas/requests, but trusted their artistic talents to create the perfect look and they nailed it! They were great with communication, transparent, easygoing, and they made me feel valued despite using their skills for just one person. I drove from out of state just for the trial and it was worth the peace of mind to know how beautiful they were going to help me look/feel for my wedding day. Thank you!!

Donna Rae & her team did an amazing job! My mom and I (the bride) were both so pleased with our makeup and hair. At the trial Donna Rae and Tricia were both open to suggestions and let me change it up and redo styles. Makeup and hair turned out beautifully and lasted all night, through sweat, dancing, eating, etc. would highly highly recommend!

DonnaRae & her Hair Team are absolutely incredible with their work. They are professional, punctual, detailed, and carry the most warm & kind presence to help you feel calm on your special day. My hair and makeup on my wedding day could not hav e turned out any better and was exactly what I wanted. I will certainly hire them again for any future life events. Thank you DonnaRae & Team for everything ❤️

Donna Rae and her team did absolutely amazing! They were on time, and had everything set up very fast and organized. As the bride I was nervous not doing a trial run before my big day, but I never felt this beautiful before with makeup by Donna Rae. I received so many compliments. My bridesmaids were astonished by their work as well! They made our day so perfect. I cannot recommend them enough!!! Thank you SO very much for making us all feel gorgeous!

Donna Rae and Victoria are the perfect team! Their hair and makeup skills made me feel like a beautiful bride and made my bridesmaids as lovely as ever. They were recommended to me by another bride, but I also happen to know Victoria's sister. I'm so glad I chose Makeup by Donna Rae & Hair Team for my wedding. We were all well taken care of on such an important day.

Donna Rae and Victoria helped me and the wedding party ladies look and feel amazing on the big day! They were professional, responsive and knew exactly what they were doing before the wedding and on the wedding day. Everyone loved how they looked and the makeup and hair stayed perfectly in place all day and night! I did do a hair and makeup trial, which I found to be helpful. Highly recommend Victoria and Donna Rae!

Donna Rae and her partner Victoria did an absolutely incredible job with my wedding makeup. I had a large bridal party (and an anxious mother) and they accommodated us all with such grace and artistry. Our makeup and hair stayed perfectly all night, even on the sweaty dance floor. Highly, highly recommend this team!

DonnaRae was so lovely to work with! Very responsive throughout the whole process and her makeup was beautiful and lasted all day long!

Donna Rae and Victoria are the absolute BEST! As someone who doesn't wear a ton of makeup, I was so worried I would look over done. Donna Rae took my concerns and mastered my look. She made me look polished and elevated, but still me! She nailed the look I wanted. Victoria's hair styling was on point. It was incredibly secure, too. It lasted all day and night without a hair out of place. She truly is a master at her craft. Donna Rae and Victoria are so personable and kind. They fit right into our early morning getting ready routine. Did I mention they were willing to be up before the sun to get us styled? My mom mentioned the entire experience was a highlight of the whole wedding for her.

Donna Rae and Tricia saved my wedding! After a bad makeup trial with a different vendor, I called Donna Rae in a panic a week before my elopement. She could not have been nicer or more helpful, and her anc the team graciously squeezed me into their already tight schedule. Donna Rae and Trica were lovely, professional, and did PHENOMENAL work! They truly saved my day will always have a special place in my heart for making me feel beautiful on the best day of my life.

Donna Rae and I have worked together for several years. I trust putting clients in her hands because I know she will do an amazing job. She is punctual, clean, organized, sanitary, a perfectionist, friendly, caring, and super good at what she does. She strives to make all of her customers happy and feel beautiful.

Donna Rae and Victoria did a beautiful job on my makeup, my mom's and my maid of honor! She was prompt, professional, stylish, fun, and my makeup looked EXACTLY like my inspo photos, I was so thrilled with her work even though I'd never even done a trial because we came from out of town. Also it should be said that I was so stressed throwing a pandemic wedding that I forgot to book HMU until a month before (oops!) and Donna Rae came through for me, making time before driving all afternoon evening to be at ANOTHER wedding across the state. She didn't have to do that I'm sure - and it meant a lot to me that she fit me in. She was completely focused, chatted with me and my bridal party and kept it light and breezy, and finished right on schedule even though my mom was literally an hour late. Made my wedding morning completely stress free. Don't hesitate!

Donna Rae did such an amazing job on both my and my bridesmaids’ makeup! She listened to the details of what all of us wanted and produced wonderful results. I would definitely recommend working with her!

Donna Rae was great! She followed up after my trial to make sure she gave me exactly the look I wanted. She traveled for our Chelan wedding and arrived at the venue before my bridal party! I highly recommend her.

Donna Rae and Victoria did a wonderful job on my wedding day. My bridal party and I showed them some reference pictures and they made it happen. Our hair and makeup stayed looking beautiful the entire night and we all got so many compliments. So glad we got to work with such a talented and professional team!

Donna Rae and Victoria were absolutely phenomenal on my wedding day. They were punctual, professional, and so easy to work with. I cannot thank them enough for helping me and my bridal party feel so beautiful on this memorable and special day. We are so blessed they were able to be a part of it. If I could give them a 10 star rating I would!

DonnaRae was such a pleasure to work with! She is confident and knowledgeable and made me feel like an absolute QUEEN on my wedding day. 10/10 would recommend and work with again!! 💕

Donna Rae was an amazing makeup artist! Her makeup is so flawless and beautiful. She made me and my wedding party look incredible

Donna Rae saved my bacon when my first makeup vendor didn’t work out. She is amazing! I highly recommend including the trial for any bride, it is well worth the money and after a few tiny adjustments I looked exactly the way I hoped I would and better. The makeup wore very well and felt incredibly light. It stayed all day through intense heat and sunshine. Donna Rae is a kind, artistic lady with great skill and vision. Hire her!!

Donna Rae did an amazing job on me and my bridesmaids! It ended up being an 108 degree heat wave the day of our wedding, everything was sweating except for our faces. Perfect wedding make up all night! Donna Rae far exceeded my expectations and we all felt beautiful

Did you know Donna Rae does makeup lessons!? I reached out to her and Victoria because I have a destination wedding coming up and wanted to be educated on makeup application to do my own makeup. Victoria and Donna Rae worked with a friend of mine and myself. It was such a fun experience! There were snacks and wine, the best girls day! They look at our makeup and gave us pointers on items to add and items that we didn’t need. Then using our own makeup they did half of our faces and watched us do the other half to give you tips and tricks! This makes it so easy to recreate in the future! Even if you aren’t getting ready for a wedding and just wanting more information on makeup, I highly recommend Victoria and Donna Rae!

There is something to be said about how someone handles changes and unexpected turns that life presents. Donna Rae and her team were there for me every step of the way during my ever changing elopement planning (during the year of covid). She made me feel like a rockstar during every single interaction. When my plans fell through she handled everything with grace and integrity. I can only imagine how beautiful she would have made me feel on my elopement, and I hope our paths cross in the future!

Donna Rae was top notch from beginning to end.She was knowledgeable, professional, and most of all fun.She took the time to explain each step as well as ask questions to make sure you were getting the result you wanted. So happy with her and her work, she truly wants you to look and feel your best.

Donna Rae is the best in the business. She does an amazing job and would be a great hire for your wedding or any make artist needs.

Donna Rae to the rescue! With under two weeks’ notice, Donna Rae fit me in for a trail and introduced me to a local stylist who was able to do my hair (Artistry by Victoria)! Donna Rae was very timely (we started at 5am!), worked quickly (finished in under an hour) and often asked for feedback make sure I was happy. Donna Rae also had a COVID waiver which made me feel much more comfortable given the circumstances. Forever grateful!

I can’t recommend DonnaRae enough! She is responsive, on time, flexible, courteous, thoughtful and she is a professional! She did my make up for my wedding and I had to take a double take in the mirror once she was finished because I couldn’t believe that person staring back at me, was ME! She made me feel like a beautiful queen on my wedding day. The makeup was natural and she worked with my sensitive skin. I will definitely be coming to her in the future if I ever need professional make up!

Donna Rae is incredible! I am so glad I found this gem in the Make Up Industry. I hired her to do the make up for my Wedding and she was fantastic! She is kind, sweet and punctual, she has been incredibly supportive and flexible this year and I really appreciated that from her. I will definitely use her in the future! If you are looking for someone to do make up for a Wedding look no further Donna and her team are fantastic!

Both Donna and Victoria were amazing! Efficient and skillful.

Donna is very helpful and easy to work with!

I can’t say enough about Donna Rae and her hair stylist Victoria. Number one, they are both beautiful and their energy is so loving and fun. COVID hasn’t made this process easy but Donna Rae was health conscious and made sure all parties felt comfortable. My hair and makeup trial was so much fun, I strongly encourage you to do this! I wish I could post a picture of my hair and makeup on this review, Donna Rae and Victoria know their stuff!!! They have been in the business for a long time and their artistry truly shows, I love these women they are amazing!

I was very pleased with the work (make up) Donna Rae and the gal she had with her (who did the hair) for me and my three bridesmaids. Donna Rae was professional but also very fun! She was on time, respectful of my bridesmaid's home and gave us some very positive energy on my special day. She made us all look beautiful! - Josie

Donna Rae did the makeup for myself, 4 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and a flower girl. We all absolutely loved how our makeup turned out. Donna Rae is very professional and know exactly what looks good. She used high quality makeup that lasted my entire wedding and i even woke up the next day looking the exact same. It looked too good to wash off !!! I highly recommend Donna Rae.

Donna listened to my vision during the trial and the wedding day make-up was beautiful!

Donna Rae is a gem! Donna Rae is AMAZING! She is not only insanely talented, she is such a kind hearted person who will make sure you feel special as you gear up for your event. She was kind to spend a lot of time with me for our trial to make sure I was happy, and we found ourselves sharing a bottle of wine by the end. She is easy to talk with, easy to collaborate with, fair priced, and consumes herself with the details of you and your event to make her art the best it can be. You will NOT be disappointed choosing her! She is such a joy to be around, and will make your event that much greater.

Donna Rae was amazing! We had an initial glitch with a scheduling miscommunication but she more than made up for it with the trial, spray tans and day of attention to detail. I highly recommend!

Donna Rae knows how to do magic! She did an amazing job during my initial consultation. On my wedding day, she was exceptional! She set up her equipment such as makeup, brushes, chair, lighting, etc. She was very professional yet down to earth. My bridesmaids, flowergirls, Best Woman, and Mom felt very pampered. Due to all the excitement, I did not get any sleep the night before. This is where Donna Rae did her magic! I looked vibrant and alive. The rest if my wedding party looked gorgeous! Thank you Donna Rae for being part of my day.
