I had an amazing experience with Makeup by Ivett! Lulu was my MUA the day of the wedding, and from the trial to the wedding day she did amazing and captured my vision. I asked for a soft glam, pinky blush look, and she absolutely delivered. My skin looked flawless, and the fake eyelashes looked amazing, you couldn’t tell they were fake. I’d never had my makeup professionally done, and I received so many compliments. Lulu showed up on time, was super friendly, and was quick which was very appreciated! She did all 6 of our makeup with touch ups within 6 hours. Me and my bridesmaids were obsessed with how our makeup turned out! The communication and professionalism were great throughout the process, and I’d definitely recommend them in the future!

Soma was my makeup artist for my wedding day. She was so sweet and easy to talk to. She made sure to ask questions in order to guarantee that my makeup turned out exactly as I wanted. Ivett and her team were very organized and efficient. They checked in regularly throughout the wedding planning process and came prepared the morning of. They were comfortable doing makeup on all ages and a variety of skin tones. Highly recommend Ivett and her team!

Soma, Violetta, and their assistant artists with Makeup by Ivett are absolutely phenomenal! They provided glam for 11 girls for my wedding and did an amazing job. They listened to what each person wanted and gave stunning results. Our hair and makeup lasted all night, even after hours of dancing! Violetta is an amazing hair stylist! I have issues with alopecia, and she was absolutely incredible to work with. She listened to my concerns and gave me such an amazing result while also being so gentle! Soma is an incredible makeup artist and gave me beautiful, Springy glam. All of the girls looked absolutely stunning, and we still looked like ourselves! Both assistant hair and makeup artists were phenomenal. We had such a blast getting ready with all of them, and I couldn't have asked for a better beauty team!

Sarah with Makeup by Ivett was absolutely PHENOMENAL!!! I can't speak highly enough about the quality of her work, she understood exactly what I wanted and delivered big time, and I was amazed by how well the make up lasted (from ~4pm-3AM). She was even considerate enough to give me a little baggie for touchups throughout the day (only really had to touch up lipstick)!! I love Sarah and highly, highly recommend her for your wedding day.

Ivett was AMAZING. She was incredibly kind, professional, and talented. She made me feel so beautiful in my own skin. Her hair stylist was also fantastic, I showed her an inspo picture from Pinterest, and she ran with it! Everything was so much better than I could have imagined. Ivett was so positive and encouraging the entire time too, she made the morning relaxing and fun!

11/12/2023 • Sam F

Lulu and Reem with Makeup by Ivett were both fantastic! They were so calm and comfortable to be around and it was wonderful having them in bridal suite all morning. I really loved my trial and they made the day of look even better! Hair and makeup lasted all night for me and my bridal party of 4. Highly recommend!!

Ivett and her team were amazing! Their work was flawless with myself, my bridesmaids, and our moms. Our makeup and hair stayed all day and night and everyone felt so beautiful. This team was amazing and flexible and we loved working with them!

Hi Emily! Thank you so much for your kind review! It was an absolute pleasure working with you and your bridal party! :) All the best, -Ivett

You will NOT find a better person than Ivett!! She made my bridesmaids and I feel so incredibly beautiful on my special day. Ivett listened to my desires and made it even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I felt so confident all day/night long. Cannot recommend Ivett and her team more.

6/29/2023 • Sarah G

Ivett and her team did an incredible job! They did makeup and hair for 13 people and gave us all a natural glam look that lasted and felt amazing on my special day!

5/31/2023 • Meredith K

Ivett was absolutely incredible!!! She is so talented! My entire bridal party, my mom, my mother in law, and I all looked so stunning! The makeup was simple yet elegant! I also love how Ivett has two hairstylists, Sadira and Reem! They were amazing! I truly looked and felt like a princess on my wedding day. I can’t recommend Makeup by Ivett enough!

Let me cut to the chase - you will not find a better wedding day HMU experience than with Ivett and her team! I booked Ivett for both my engagement shoot (trial) and wedding day. On both occasions, Ivett was the definition of professionalism. She was timely with her responses, collaborative and communicative with our bridal looks, flexible with scheduling/travel, and an overall pleasure to work with. On the wedding day, Ivett and Sadira did HMU for myself, 7 bridesmaids, my mother, and even let me add on my grandmother for hair-do at the last minute! They worked efficiently without cutting corners and were a fun addition in our bridal suite. They made us look and feel beautiful. My bridal look lasted from noon until past 1 AM and made it through photos in the pouring rain, lots of dancing, and even our afterparty at the club. And in an odd twist of events, when one of our vendors completely bailed last minute, both women provided comforting and reassuring advice. Special shoutout to Sadira whose words of wisdom were priceless and dictated the entire rest of my wedding day (which was perfect). In summary, Makeup by Ivett was one of the best, most worthwhile decisions I made for my wedding day as a whole and I can't recommend this vendor enough.

5/22/2023 • Sarah H

I am so grateful for Ivett and her team. She did an incredible job on my makeup for my engagement shoot. When we did my hair and makeup trial, the initial stylist didn’t work out and wanted it to be perfect so she scheduled an additional one for me for free. She understands how special this day is and supports your dream to make it perfect and smooth for the bride! She is a sweet calming presence to have for your wedding and does a phenomenal job!

Ivett and her team were punctual, professional and made me and my girls looks beautiful

12/01/2022 • Alexandra G

Ivett and her team were wonderful to work with! Her pricing was very reasonable and she was quick to respond to the initial inquiry with an overview of her services. I had a huge wedding party and was worried about the timing, but she reassured me throughout the entire planning process and even provided me with a suggested schedule for the morning of. She was also flexible and accommodating with last minutes changes. She was so calm and kind throughout the whole process. I loved my make-up so much and received so many compliments from guests. The make-up also looked amazing in our pictures! I can not recommend her enough :)

Lulu with Makeup by Ivett was amazing! She did my bridal makeup along with several bridesmaids, and EVERYONE looked so beautiful. Each of us was so happy with our makeup. On top of being an incredible MUA, Lulu is so sweet and personable. She made everyone feel very comfortable. I searched for MUAs for months before coming across Ivett and her team and i knew right away that i wanted them! I cannot recommend them enough!

10/16/2022 • Nancy C

Thank you to Ivett and her makeup and hair team (Violetta, Reem, and Nilafar) for a fantastic experience for our wedding day! Ivett's services came highly recommended, and I am so thankful to have had the opportunity to have Makeup by Ivett take care of myself (bride) and the large bridal party, mothers, grandmothers, and flower girls. I loved that Ivett had experience with clients of diverse cultural backgrounds and ages, as this was an important factor for me. During the trial, I immediately felt that I could trust Ivett; she listened to what I wanted (to look very natural and elegant) and likewise, Violetta also clearly understood what type of hair style would be fitting for the occasion as well as my face shape, dress style, and more. On the day of, Ivett and her team arrived early, and my bridesmaids, family members, and flower girls were all so thrilled with the results of their hair and makeup. I could feel relaxed, comfortable, and confident knowing that we were in great hands. Ivett exuded great leadership and collaboration, and her calming and confident presence helped our getting ready experience to move forward seamlessly. I am happy to say that my hair and makeup were definitely in tact by the end of the evening, even after moving around and dancing a lot! :-) Thank you so much, Ivett, for the opportunity to work with you! Highly recommended!

I can only give 5 starts but if I could give Ivett’s team 10 stars I would. They were right on time, kept us all on track and made our morning so fun. Our hair and makeup stayed all night even in the July heat. Loved our wedding day so much!

5/16/2022 • Shellie B

Ivett did a BEAUTIFUL job on my wedding day hair and makeup - I felt so glamorous but also not over the top, which is a fine balance to strike for someone who doesn't usually wear much makeup. She was also just fun to be around and had a calming presence. Thank you for making me look beautiful on my special day!

12/06/2021 • Jennifer S

Absolutely the best. Ivett and her team were so calming and accommodating. 10/10 would recommend them to anyone.

11/13/2021 • Kim E

Ivett and her team member, Sadira, were so amazing to have as part of my wedding day. Incredibly professional and accommodating to the look each person was comfortable with. Everyone looked beautiful and was so happy with their hair and makeup.

10/14/2021 • Nicolette S

Ivett was incredible! I felt beautiful and all my girls looked amazing!

9/27/2021 • Carole H

I am so glad I hired Ivett for my wedding! She was very responsive and flexible and I was literally stunned at how beautiful the hair and makeup came out. It was literally exactly how I pictured it and she made my bridal dreams come true. She worked alone on myself, my maid of honor and my husband's mother and people were amazed at how beautiful we all looked! She was so timely in responding with a contract and I was in such a pinch to find a MUA who was not already booked. I highly recommend Ivette and would definitely hire her again for any event.

7/28/2021 • Emily E

Ivett, Sadira, and Zee all made sure that me, my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law looked stunning for the big day! They worked with a wide variety of requests, from bridesmaids who wanted a subtle, natural look, to those who wanted full glam, and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy with their look. Ivett was also super flexible and helpful when I had to change my wedding date due to Covid, and still made it onsite bright and early! My hair and makeup lasted through a July heatwave to boot! ( :

7/13/2021 • Lorrane F

So happy to have found Ivett and her team! Lulu did such an amazing job with my make-up and it was exactly what I wanted: natural, felt great, and lasted all night! Lilian also did an awesome job with my hair, she took her time and made sure it was exactly how I wanted it! I usually get headaches with an up-do because of all the tight bobby pins, but she did such an amazing job that I felt amazing all night and my hair looked great! They were all great about communication and were super punctual. I would definitely recommend and hire again!

5/26/2021 • Susan C

I cannot rave about Ivett enough!! She is an absolute joy to work with. From the start of the booking process up until the day of the wedding, she was AMAZING!! She is soo organized, on-time, and does the absolute best at hair and make-up. My curls stayed in and make-up stayed on the whole duration of my wedding!! She is tedious about making sure she does her absolute best at making her clients look and feel beautiful! She lets you express what you want done for your hair and make-up and adds her amazing expertise opinions to make you look the best! She even gave me a make-up touch up kit the day of the wedding that I could use if my lipstick was coming off, etc. She fixed my hair here and there during the beginning of pictures and even put my veil in place! I 100% recommend Ivett to anyone and will use her in the future.

5/24/2021 • Shalet J

Ivett was awesome. She patiently listened to all my suggestions and made me look like a princess on my wedding day. She is extremely talented and I'm so glad I found her to do my wedding day makeup. She was able to do my make-up exactly as I wanted. I highly recommend her!

5/04/2021 • Donna S

Ivett was absolutely amazing, she was patient and kind, from the trial to the wedding I could not have asked for a better make up artist. I shared photos with her of what I wanted and last minute changed to a something slightly different on the day of the wedding and she didn’t skip a beat. She is truly talented and will be the cherry on top for your special day😊 thank you Ivett!

4/11/2021 • Austin C

Ivett is absolutely amazing! She did my hair and makeup for my bridal shower & it was stunning!!! Both the hair and makeup lasted all day long! I cannot thank her enough!

11/29/2020 • Corrine M

Ivett is so sweet and so talented! I am so happy I found her. She made me and all of my bridal party feel so comfortable and beautiful. She was very helpful and gave us all exactly the looks we were going for! My makeup lasted all day and night, and I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup. I definitely recommend Ivett to anyone in the future.

10/27/2020 • Leah C

Ivett is a fabulous makeup and hair stylist! My original wedding date was April 26th but it had to moved to October 25th. Ivett was super accommodating and so kind during the process. During the consultation she asked lots of questions and made me feel comfortable. On the day of my wedding, she was prompt and organized. All my bridesmaids looked absolutely beautiful. After each bridesmaids makeup was done she would clean and sanitize the area which I greatly appreciated. She did an absolute amazing job with my hair and makeup! I received compliments all day on it (especially on my hair). She even gave me a little bag of makeup for touch ups during the night which I definitely used. Ivett was so wonderful and I highly recommend her to anyone!

10/07/2020 • Ivonne O

I highly recommend Ivett. Her work was amazing!! I got so many compliments! For the wedding day she was the first person that shows up in my room. She and her assistant did the makeup for my 9 bridesmaids and myself and finished on time. My makeup last the entire night intact!

9/21/2020 • Kristina R

I am so happy I found Ivett! After Covid ruined my original wedding plans, I planned a last minute elopement in WV. I had no clue how I would find an available hair and makeup artist, let alone one as talented as Ivett! I am so thankful she was available for my date, she was very professional and so sweet. I’ve never felt so beautiful in my life!! My makeup stayed in place all day, even being able to withstand so many tears!! If you want the most beautiful makeup/hair and to hangout with the sweetest soul I would highly recommend you book Ivett! She even gave me a little goodie bag for touch ups the day of, she is so thoughtful. Thank you Ivett for making me feel like the most beautiful bride that day! I want to have another event just so I could book her again!!

8/18/2020 • Danielle F

Ivett was professional, punctual, and did a fabulous job on myself (bride), my mother, mother in law, and sister in law! I loved the natural look, and the eyelash extensions were a nice addition! Very affordable for the DC area as well.

4/23/2020 • Haleigh E

We had such a great time with Ivett. She made me and my bridesmaids feel so comfortable and beautiful. I could not be happier! Sadira did an amazing job on our hair, and was so flexible with me when I changed my mind last minute. It came out perfect!

1/06/2020 • Maria T

Ivett was such a pleasure to have as my makeup artist. She is so talented in what she does. She is not only an AMAZING makeup artist (who uses top notch products on you), but quick to respond, very helpful and understanding, and a pleasure to be with. I would 100% recommend her as your vendor.

11/08/2019 • Jennifer M

I hired Ivett for wedding makeup and half of the hair, and her team was so sweet and so efficient, we ended up being very ahead of schedule! She made getting ready the party that it should be! Every bridesmaid looked natural and gorgeous, the makeup lasted perfectly throughout the entire night, and she even made me finally like fake lashes! Thank you for a perfect day, Ivett!
