Makeup by Drai

formation for our family photo shoot. Drai is an accomplished and talented MUA - world class. She is able to glamorously enhance natural beauty while also making the look natural and subtle. I only wish I lived in Tucson so I could see Drai again and again. Highly recommend!

wedding glam exceeds your expectations. Each package is tailored to ensure the bride feels pampered and cared for and the efficiency was next level! BOOK THEM!!

for. She was so adaptable to things I wanted to change later, as my wedding date got closer. My husband is quite picky and always has something to complain about when I get professional makeup done, but this time he was impressed for once, we both loved the look. Andrea and her team came to our house on our wedding day, worked on 8 ladies and took great care of all of us, they made us feel so comfortable and at ease. The final work was just magnificent, every lady looked stunning! I joked with Andrea and told her the other ladies makeup shouldn’t have looked just as beautiful as mine, but that is just what her and her team are all about, perfection to the highest level!

i is. I stumbled upon Make up by Drai when we had to reimagine our wedding plans due Covid-19. We originally had wedding plans in Colorado and I already had make up artists lined up. However, like most pandemic brides, we had to reimagine our plans and decided to do a small wedding photo shoot in Arizona a year later. I came across Haus of Dreams given all the wonderful reviews they had. And in an odd way, if not for the pandemic, I would not have had the opportunity to work with Andrea (Drai). And I’m SO so grateful that I did— I couldn’t have had a better experience and my look was perfect because of her! First, Drai is an incredibly skilled make-up artist. Her technique is amazing and she uses high quality products. She is also smart business owner and above all, an amazing human that you just want to be around. Her entire team is wonderful and professional. Booking & communication was seamless. From the first time that I entered their studio for my trial, Drai greeted me with ease, a smile, and really calmed me down—which is so needed in those stressful moments of wedding planning, coordinating and bringing family together. I had been flustered and running around dealing with all of the family stuff prior. Her presence, clam energy, and attention was just what a needed on my big day. Second, Drai is incredibly skilled at what she does and she uses high-quality products. I have very sensitive skin and all of her products felt amazing on my skin. She used all hypoallergenic products, so I didn’t have any issues. She her team was able perfectly capture two amazing looks that I had for my wedding: 1) a traditional softer look in my white dress, and 2) my ethnic Indian outfit and with an up do and new make up. This was hard to do and with a quick time change in between the photo sessions. But nonetheless, but she nailed it! I felt incredibly beautiful and was so grateful for all the time, attention, and care she spent on creating these looks for me. Her assistant Rose who did my hair, was absolutely wonderful. She was so accommodating to all the different adjustments I asked for to ensure my hair it was perfect. Dre and her team also did it make up for my mother-in-law and my sister who were also incredibly pleased and looked fabulous. Plain and simple, Andrea is just such a joy to work with. And when you’re sitting in the chair (for so many hours) it’s nice to have someone that is not only great at what they do, but who you can trust will do a good job; and it was such a gift to have someone by your side who has such a welcoming, calm energy! I highly recommend going with Make up by Drai and Haus of Dreams. You can’t go wrong. I highly recommend them if you are local to Tucson, or even if you are open to flying in an artist to your location. I wouldn’t even think twice about using her and her team again for any of my professional make-up needs and even flying her in! She is legit worth it, EVERY time!

friendly, and efficient. The contract and booking process were perhaps a bit rigid/extensive but it ultimately made no impact to the services.

ssional. They made myself, my bridal party, and my family look and feel so beautiful on my wedding day. Everyone commented on how beautiful we looked the entire night and I had multiple people asking for Andrea's contact information past my wedding date! Everyone with Makeup by Drai is knowledgeable and have true skill/expertise when it comes to hair and makeup. They highlight your natural beauty and make sure you know how to prep your skin/hair for your special day. As a last note, the entire team is kind and fun to be around. They created such a fun atmosphere to start my special day and I truly feel so honored to have met and worked with Makeup by Drai!

getting a response. If I hadn’t already placed a deposit I would have chosen another company.

had was super knowledgeable and really did a fantastic job helping me feel absolutely gorgeous on my wedding day. Very highly recommend!

erfectly.

he bride, to all of my bridesmaids, and even my flower girls, all 11 of us looked like models! 100% recommend 100% of the time. Thank you so much!

but once I seen her portfolio and after I talk to her I knew she was the one that I wanted to do mine and my bridal parties makeup. Andrea and her team went above and beyond and I literally cried when I seen how I looked before getting my wedding dress on, I'm so glad that we went with you and your wonderful team of awesome ladies. thank you for making my vision and dream come to life on the happiest day of my life. if you need a makeup artist and a team that will put their heart into their work look no further. Thank you ❤️ Tabitha and Roman Swank 😍

had all of by bridal beauty needs met. I fell so in love with her work (and just her in general) that I had her do my makeup for our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner, and the wedding. I’m not the most decisive individual so I would tell her pieces of inspiration photos that I liked and she brought it all together. My skin looked flawless and I really have never felt so beautiful each time. Her very talented sister Cynthia did my hair for my wedding. She created the most perfect curls and helped to make my extensions blend beautifully. The day of my wedding, Andrea and her team created a schedule that ensured everyone felt gorgeous and we could all just relax, enjoy, and get pampered. If you are looking for a team to make your bridal dreams come true, look no further! I am so grateful I found Andrea and will be going to her whenever I have an excuse to get all glammed up.

me with throughout my wedding week. They were responsive to what styles the individual girls wanted and very flexible with changes. Rose and Gabby were extremely sweet and made getting ready for the wedding fun and relaxing. The team was punctual and came prepared with everything they needed. I absolutely loved my hair and makeup over all of the wedding events that I had! Would highly recommend to any bride and bridal party, without reservation!

me in the trial to ensure that I liked everything and then perfected it for the day of. Couldn't recommend them more!!

sy to talk to and made a point to remember thoughtful details that made me feel extra special. For someone who is not used to getting "glammed up" for anything, they made me feel comfortable and absolutely beautiful. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for professional hair and make up! Thank you a million times over!

at conversation and made me feel so welcomed in their chair. On the day of the wedding, they set right up and kept us on track and we all came out feeling so beautiful and pampered. Prior to the wedding, Drai helped to set up all the appointments I needed. This included facials, eyelashes, and spray tanning. I am not one who is familiar with these services and I was sent in the right direction and felt like a princess on my wedding day. The weekly tips sent out before the wedding were so helpful to ensure my hair and skin were wedding-ready. These were all details I would have easily overlooked but Makeup by Drai completely had my back and remembered everything. Highly recommend and encourage any future bride to go with this vendor!

several times, most recently for my wedding and I could not be more thrilled. The level of expertise & detail combined with their personal passion for what they do makes for an ideal combo. They go beyond what I expected and I am so thrilled with the results.

had some idea of what to expect when I was in search for Artists for my wedding day but this Team as set the bar so incredibly high they have a client for life! one of the BEST investments I made for my wedding and I am so glad I did. Initially in my search, I had heard of the brand and fell in love with their portfolio. But that is just the beginning! They offer an experience that is simply unmatched and like nothing I have ever experienced when I have gotten my makeup done or have seen with any other Team! Their start to finish services is absolutely phenomenal, from client communication, to their talents as Artists in hair and makeup, their studio space is gorgeous where I had my trial, but most importantly the ease they create on the single most important day in any woman’s life. They are essentially, or so it felt like, your Glam Wedding Day Planner from the moment they walk in the door until it was go time! Not to mention all the little specials details was such a nice unexpected touch! They are truly passionate and it shows so much and their artistry skill set is solid! Thank you Haus of Dreams for making me feel like a Queen! I can never thank you enough.

s! Scheduling was so easy with her! I couldn’t have asked for a better team to make me and my wedding party looking amazing on my special day!!

what I wanted. She is very personable and makes you feel like you are old friends. The wedding day went perfect. I absolutely loved my look and wouldn’t have changed anything. She made me feel so beautiful and the makeup held up the whole night, even through all the tears. She is so sweet and does amazing work!

my bridesmaids preferences and everyone looked gorgeous! And Cynthia was such a joy, so friendly and does the most beautiful braids and curls!! I can’t wait to have another reason to work with them, highly recommended!!!!

he eyeshadow I really wanted. I definetly found many wedding makeup artists that mostly looked to be able to only pull of subtle minimalist makeup looks, but that's just not my style. I like the full glam with eye lashes and baking going on! I'm honestly so happy I found Drai. She can literally do it all. She did amazing work for both the consult and the wedding day. My hair also, girl...it was absolutely gorgeous and heald up all day even after taking photos in the rain. When I tell you my makeup a survived 3 crying sessions and dancing for 4 hours straight sweating up a storm and my makeup was still intact... Drai has some magic hands because I'm shook how perfect it all looked at 10pm when she had done it at 10am in the morning...that's 12 hours of flawlessness. Girl just book her. Take my word for it.

n this Covid time her and her team were able to execute everything on time, while practicing social distancing proticals and making everyone feel comfortable, confident and beautiful! I will definitely recommend and be using Makeup by Drai for any future glam needs! THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN!!!

our best for my wedding day. The morning of my wedding was completely scheduled and was overwhelming to look at but actually made a lot of sense and helped with the bridesmaids who had kids to take care of. My hair and makeup look exceeded my expectation and photographed so nice and held up very well throughout the night. The whole team was so nice to work with and I was happy to have them there on my wedding day.

edding in March 2020. Each time I met with her she took the time to explain her process but also listened and adjusted for my preferences. During both the wedding consultation and the actual day of the wedding session, Andrea went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the results and that the experience was stress-free. She also accommodated a last minute request to do the make-up for my mom and sister and they were thrilled with the results. I highly recommend Andrea and would contact her in the future if I needed a make-up artist.

drea 3 weeks prior to our new selected wedding date and thank goodness she fit me in! I had a lash extension appointment with her first and informed her that I didn't want really full lashes where it would look unnatural to me. She did classic mixed with volume and they turned out amazing!!! I saw her again for my hair and makeup on my big day and for not having a consultation for hair and makeup prior she made me look exactly how I envisioned myself looking! She listens and cares about you. Takes pride in her work. Wants you to be happy and feel beautiful! It's your day and she definitely makes it about you! She had big visions for herself making a stamp in the bridal industry here in Tucson and I could not imagine having anyone else do my beauty for my big day! I'm excited to see her take off in her industry!

asked for what I was envisioning for my big day and worked her creative gifting to make it happen. She did my makeup so bomb in the trial that I did not even have to ask to change anything, but she still communicated and made sure I was completely satisfied with my look and was willing to make any adjustments, she just wanted me to be completely happy with the look! On the wedding day she made me feel so beautiful, making it so easy to be excited for my big day and feeling like a princess! She helps enhance everyones beauty! She was on time, organized, and communicated so well throughout the whole process and is so kind and easy to talk to while she’s doing your makeup. A huge reason why I could be at peace and so excited on my big day was due to her creative expertise and services. 100000/10 would recommend for any bride / bridal party ☺️🥰

ned to all of my ideas and photos and perfectly executed all of my requests. I can't refer Drai enough!

their field, very personable, on point, and reliable. I would recommend anyone that needs makeup and hair for any special occasion. I had never had any professional makeup done and I was nervous about trusting someone to do it for me and my 7 bridesmaids on my wedding day. I was extremely pleased after my trial and had asked her if she can do my makeup for my Budoir shoot as well, the pictures turned out so great and flawless looking for both my wedding and budoir shoots. My bridesmaids were absolutely stunning and I could not have been anymore pleased. You can honestly leave the creativity up to them or let them know what your vision is, they can do both. They will certainly be my go to artist for any future special occasion.

l and had all her equipment ready to go. Thank you Drai

party's eyelashes looked and even more impressed by how comfortable they felt ALL NIGHT (I was so sad to remove them when 3am came around!)

- I wore a red qipao and brought Asian-inspired images for my hair and makeup. Andrea and Cynthia both really brought my vision to life. The color on my eyes was amazing, and my bridesmaids were equally impressed, we looked stunning. I received non-stop compliments throughout the evening, and still today I'm getting messages asking who did my hair/makeup! Andrea and Cynthia were so kind and supportive with our whole group, we really felt like superstar celebrities. Thank you for being there with us on my wedding day!

her attention to detail and punctuality and the entire experience that she creates from the initial consultation to the wedding day that every Bride should experience. She has a gift, a talent that she blesses everyone she come in contact with. She truly takes pride in her work as Artist and she has a natural way of enhancing one’s beauty and accentuating features, honestly that I did not know I had and she truly makes a woman feel her absolute best by making them feel their most beautiful. It was an honor to have Andrea and her team be my glam squad for my wedding day, she delivers and creates an experience that you will never forget and your photographs will be gorgeous as were mine. If you are searching for your Artist, look no further and hire Andrea with Makeup by Drai.

email and how detailed and organized she was was the the first thing that stood out for me after having numerous conversations with other Artist's with in the city while I was on my Artist hunt. When she scheduled my consultation in her studio she greeted me with a celebratory Welcome note and we toasted to my engagement which was completely unexpected. She listens thoroughly and executes and will work with you until your desired Bridal Look is achieved. She then went into communicating with me months prior to my Wedding Day and left the stress out of me figuring out a time line or my Bridesmaids having to decide on who will voluntarily want to go in what slot by creating a full schedule of the day of a rotation for hair and makeup which I appreciated so much. When her team arrived on my Wedding Day they arrived early to set up, they stayed on task with their schedules and she 1000% executed an even BETTER rendition of what she created on the day of my consultation which I had no idea how it would be or get better but she assured me it would be and she completely delivered. She made all of my Bridal Party look absolutely stunning. We received compliments all evening and our makeup lasted all night! Andrea goes above and beyond and truly cares about creating an entire experience for you, it is not just a job for her she truly loves creating Art and it shows immensely. Her personality is beautiful, you instantly feel so comfortable to be around her and speak with her like you have known her your whole life, she has a grace about her when she is executing her craft, she sets up her station with full equipment including cute details such as an arrangement that drapes around her chair, drink koozies, and she includes a Bridal Gift with the necessities and more that a Bride will need after she leaves with a beautiful hand written card. I did not expect any of extra added touches that Andrea included in her service. She truly created an experience for me and my Bridal Party that we will never forget. My pictures were absolutely stunning professionally and from anyone who took phone pictures and the best part was no filters were added and she managed to create such a beautiful, perfected canvas that looked 100% airbrushed. Any Bride’s looking for an Artist, book Andrea you will be so happy you did.

id it exactly the way I wanted it. My makeup lasted all night in this crazy heat and received many compliments. Andrea is punctual, talented and professional artist who I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an amazing makeup artist for their special day. I can’t thank her enough for all she has done for me.

but she really does give you a full experience to make you feel comfortable and relaxed. Andrea is talented and professional and I would highly recommend her.

received a lot of comments from my guests about how good it looked. Andrea is very professional and talented, and is also such a nice and wonderful person to talk to! I truly enjoyed having her do my makeup. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist for their wedding or other special event.

way to help me as I needed to find a new hair dresser on short notice. She found someone that was even better than the first and actual cost less! I just just couldn't be happier with her!

ptions and giving me her recommendations. She was kind, professional and fun! Drai helped me look like the very best version of myself on one of the most important days of my life, and looking back at pictures I am so grateful!
