Marina Dubrovina

I don't think I could say enough good things about Marina. She went totally above and beyond throughout my experience working with her for my wedding HMU. She worked with me to find the right look both for makeup and hair and made me feel heard and understood the entire time. The final look was above and beyond what I ever dreamed and I had a great time working with Alena, one of her hair partners as well. My family who got HMU couldn't stop talking about how much they loved her work as well and all of us hope to work with Marina again in the future! She made me feel so beautiful but still like myself which was exactly what I was looking for!

Marina is your best choice! She is very professional and very friendly and easy to work with! You don’t have to worry about anything, she has all under control! Also she gave me great advice about make-up and hair style and I loved it! I could not recommend her more!!

Marina is an incredibly talented artist. She is also so kind, patient, thorough, and professional. I truly felt cared about from our initial conversation, through the trial, and wedding day. Marina was previously the makeup artist at my best friend’s wedding where I was a bridesmaid and got to experience her work. I knew she would be the first call for my own wedding and I am so happy she was available. She worked with all ages and desired looks. Everyone looked and felt amazing. I could not recommend Marina more highly!!

I’m so happy I found Marina! I have super curly hair that I wanted to keep natural for my big day and she did an amazing job enhancing my natural curl! She did an amazing job on my makeup, I wanted a natural soft glam look and she delivered! She also did a wonderful job on my two bridesmaids. Marina is very friendly & professional, you can tell she loves what she does and is an expert at her craft! 10/10 would recommend her everyone.

Marina is amazing! She did makeup for seven people on my wedding day and everyone loved how they looked. We all wanted a natural but elevated look and despite not having specific instructions or preferences (I also hadn't done a trial), Marina did an great job ensuring that the makeup was well-suited to each person but still cohesive among the entire bridal party. The makeup lasted for the entire wedding without any need for touch-ups on a hot day. She was also a warm and calm presence on the wedding day. I have nothing negative to say about the experience and would highly recommend using Marina for your wedding!

Writing this review as a full-service wedding planner who recently worked with Marina and her team for my client's wedding and here to sing her praises! Marina and her team are SO talented, accommodating, kind, and incredible! Marina was wonderful and extremely professional with communication, keeping us all updated on the schedule, process and progress throughout the day. All of the ladies' glam was perfection and stayed even with the humidity/interesting weather we were having. Marina is the best and super patient! She stayed past cocktail hour to change up my bride's look from ceremony and give her a touch up, I loved working with her and her team and will continue to recommend her to all my clients!

Marina is a kind, thoughtful professional who really listens to you and your needs. From our first consultation, to the trial, to the actual wedding day, Marina guided me with her expertise and helped me achieve the exact look I was going for. I felt absolutely gorgeous and confident on my wedding day but, most importantly, I felt like myself! My mother, sister, and best friend also had their hair/makeup done by Marina and everyone was so happy with the result — even my mother who usually does not like having her hair & makeup done! I trusted Marina completely from beginning to end, and I’m so happy we got to work together!

Marina is a wonderful hair and makeup artist. For my wedding day, not only did she do my hair and makeup, she did my moms and sister. She took her time and listened to what everyone wanted and made sense for the day. Her work lasted all evening and photographed beautifully.

Marina did an incredible job for my wedding day! She made feel the most beautiful bride ever. My makeup and hair were elegant and fit perfectly with my dress and personality. She worked with me closely to make sure that everything was perfect which really accentuated my natural beauty. She was very flexible and took any questions and concerns into consideration, and adapted to all of my wants and needs to make my special day the best it could be. The make up and hair looked wonderful on the pictures and it lasted all day long, she uses high quality make up and hair products. Could not recommend Marina enough!

Marina is an amazing make up artist who made me look stunning in my big day! She uses only high quality products and has the best attitude and professionalism! We did 2 trails and the big day was a breeze, Marina did my whole bridal group and everyone was happy and looked their best! Can’t wait for other events to get glammed by Marina!

Marina is SO talented! I was looking for an artist that could cover both hair and makeup and Marina knocked it out of the park on my big day! We met for a trial months before my wedding, (since I know myself and how picky I am about makeup), and we had a great trial. She was super open to my feedback about how my makeup & hair held up throughout that day. She took plenty of pics to reference on the day of, as well as took notes about what we loved and a few minor tweaks we agreed to make. Marina was very responsive to any communication, from the first time I reached out to her, up until the the day of my wedding. She was prompt and on time to our trial and on my wedding day. I arrived at our bridal suite to her fully setup and ready to go! She is so patient and has a very calm and kind demeanor, which is exactly what every bride needs. Her makeup kit is full of so many amazing products and I highly recommend the Red Carpet package for brides. The skin prep that comes with that package is so relaxing and helped the makeup application last all night. (she even left me with a sample of my lipstick so I could reapply as needed) My hair was so fabulous and I couldn't have been happier with it. Marina and I exchanged several inspo pics back and forth until we nailed down exactly what I was going for and she delivered! Marina is a true artist. She is able to enhance and elevate your best assets and I totally felt and looked liked the BEST version of myself on my wedding day. I felt so glamorous, but still looked liked me. I really can't say enough great things about her- from her work ethic, to her incredible artistry, to her calm and kind demeanor. She is the best and I can't wait for my next event so I can work with her again! Thank you Marina for making me feel like such a beautiful and radiant bride!

Marina is simply the best. She was recommended to me by a friend of a friend and I am so glad she was my hair and make up artist! She’s truly a professional in all regards. My hair and make up was perfect on my wedding day. She had an assistant, Loretta, with her on the wedding day to do some family members. Loretta was equally amazing. Don’t hesitate to use Marina!

Marina and her team had been incredible for my wedding! I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup team. Marina had been amazing to work with. She is extremely patient and professional. She had been very helpful as I was still figuring things out leading up to my wedding. I ended up changing my hairstyle a couple of weeks before from what we did during the trial, and she absolutely nailed it! Her work is better than any reference images I had sent. I don't often get my makeup or hair done, so this was a great experience and I will come back in the future to her for any big events! Couldn't have asked for a better team!!

Marina was an absolute dream to work with! I was pretty picky about my makeup/hair artist because I have non-traditional features (eg hooded eyes, rounder face) and wanted someone had a diverse portfolio. After tons of research, I found Marina’s Instagram and I loved her diverse experience of not only clients but also styles (e.g. editorial, glam, natural, etc). I got married on July 3 so it was a very hot day (90+ degrees) but my makeup and hair was flawless and lasted all day (eg 10am - 2am). It was so perfect at the end of the night that I didn’t want to take it off! I even did a surprise Beyoncé dance for my husband - which had LOTS of hair flipping and turns - and the hair (with tons of extensions in) was still perfect after. Marina was also extremely professional: Replied promptly to my texts, arrived slightly ahead of schedule, and gave expert advice on what looks best for my face shape. We even experimented with one look for my trial, and then collaborated on how we should improve it for the wedding day 👰🏻‍♀️ Extra notes: I recommend doing the package where Marina stays for touch-ups until the ceremony - it really came in handy during the hot day. She even took amazing photos and videos for me during the first look so I could use for social media the very next day!

Marina absolutely made my wedding. My make up and hair were beyond what I could have ever imagined for myself on my wedding day. I am blown away by her skills. Not only did she perfect my look, but she was so amazing to get ready with and have with me right up until the ceremony for touch ups. She was on time, calm, cool and collected all day. She made me feel so special and beautiful, and calm before my ceremony when I was feeling a bit nervous. I HIGHLY recommend her.

Outstanding. Marina and her team of makeup artists were key in making my wedding so special. They handled a busy morning with twelve women getting their makeup done with grace and ease. Every single person was astounded about how beautiful they felt, without feeling like they were overly done. Marina brings out the best in all of her clients-- truly fantastic work. To put it this way, Marina has already been booked by a handful of friends for their weddings after seeing her work on me. She is kind, professional, and a truly talented artist. Book her!

I used Marina and her team for me and 10 bridesmaid's hair and makeup and would highly recommend! Everyone was punctual, friendly and most of talented. Marina was very easy to work with starting from my trial all the way to my wedding day. She helped me find the exact natural look I wanted and both my hair and makeup lasted the whole night. Thank you, Marina and team for making my wedding so special!

Marina's talent is amazing. Her work is so beautiful and elegant. I had a few trials prior to finally finding Marina and I was so relieved to be able to book her during the middle of a pandemic. I absolutely loved the soft glam look, EVERYONE was talking about how stunning my hair and make-up look. It complimented my features. She was always responsive to emails & texts. Marina and her team did an amazing job for my bridal party. Not only was she my artist but I had such an intense day she was calming me throughout the morning and took a few sweet photos for me. I made a last-minute decision and needed her to stay for a few more hours after a few outfit changes and was so glad she was able to stay. Marina and her team were very punctual and professional. I cannot be more happy and thankful to find such an amazing and sweet artist.

Marina is fantastic makeup artist that did my makeup for my engagement photos and for my wedding day. She was incredibly attentive to my needs and made sure that I looked and felt beautiful on my wedding day. She is a very skilled artist and I would recommend her to anyone I know. You won’t be disappointed!

There’s not enough to say how talented Marina is .I recommended her to my friends who were bridesmaids in my wedding and are also getting married next year and they decided to work with Marina as well. As a thank you, She gave me an extra hairstylist and MUA for no extra cost. A professional with such a sweet personality and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. Everyone looked gorgeous and it’s all thanks to Marina! Lovely experience the whole way through.

Thank you Marina for making me feel beautiful and special for my engagement party and the wedding day. Unfortunately we had to postpone our destination wedding in Europe due to travel restrictions during pandemic. I really appreciate that Marina agreed to travel and do my make up and hair abroad. Even though we were not able to go to Europe this year, we decided to do elopement wedding in nyc. Marina came to my rescue for our last minute local celebration. I was absolutely pleased with my makeup and hair, everything was perfect!!! I invited her to the party after and she continued doing touch ups for my make up and fixing my hair if I needed it through out the party. I can not say enough nice things about her. Marina is very professional, talented, responsible and overall very sweet and has amazing personality!!! I can’t wait for our big celebration in Europe next year and feel special and glamorous again!!!

Marina did my hair and make up for my wedding in Central Park and she was absolutely AMAZING!! She was so prepared and came super early in the morning since the wedding was at 11:00 - which I really appreciated. She was so kind and she gave me and my bridesmaids guidance on what was the best option for all of our hair, and executed it perfectly, leaving everyone beautiful and confident. I’m not much of a makeup wearer, so I was really nervous about looking super caked and crazy. But, Marina was able to create a beautifully natural look and I have never felt more beautiful!! All day, I got sooo many compliments on my hair and make up, and honestly the compliments have not stopped even after. I am so grateful to have had Marina there on my wedding day and I’m looking forward to any opportunity that I can work with her again!!
