I was lucky enough to have Yelena do the makeup for my wedding recently. Myself and the three lovely ladies who got ready with me were all so happy with our makeup and got a ton of compliments throughout the night! One of the best things about working with Yelena, besides the amazing looks, is how attentive and understanding she is with anyone she works with. Her patience and kind personality left everyone feeling so comfortable and happy! She's also so much fun to have around while getting ready and I'd recommend her to anyone! :)
Yelena did my makeup for my September wedding and was amazing to work with! She is attentive, warm, and soft spoken, which created such a calming presence. Even with some active blemishes, she left my skin looking fresh and flawless without feeling heavy. My false lashes felt so natural and comfortable, and I loved the final touch of shimmer she added to my chest because it made the whole look feel so polished. She also did a beautiful job with my bridesmaids, and everyone looked stunning and felt so confident. My makeup lasted beautifully all day. I highly recommend her.
I had the absolute pleasure of having Yelena as my makeup artist for my wedding, and I couldn't be more grateful. From the moment we met at the trial, she made me feel completely comfortable and understood exactly the look I wanted. The makeup was flawless, long-lasting, and still felt like me - just the most radiant version of myself. She brought such a calming, positive energy on the wedding morning, which made the experience even more special. My bridesmaids also looked stunning! Thank you Yelena for making me feel so beautiful on such an important day. I highly recommend her to any bride!
I cannot thank Yelena enough for creating my perfect bridal look! I felt absolutely gorgeous, and my makeup photographed so beautifully and lasted my entire wedding day. She also did an absolutely fabulous job on the various styles of makeup for my bridesmaids, who all looked and felt stunning. She also did an incredible job on my mom's makeup, she truly has a gift for making moms feel beautiful and I could tell my mom felt amazing. Communication right from start to finish was absolutely seamless and I was so grateful she was able to accommodate my larger wedding party by bringing in an additional artist (shoutout to Sommer for her stunning work as well!). Incorporating the trial as part of the process was super helpful and she was incredibly receptive to my feedback :) Day of went off without a hitch and due to her and Sommer's professionalism and collaboration with my hair stylist, everyone was ready well ahead of schedule! Again thank you so much Yelena, and hoping I have an opportunity to get my makeup done by you in the future :D
Yelena did a beautiful job with my bridal makeup! The whole process of working with her from start to finish was very smooth. Doing the makeup trial 2 months before the wedding at Yelena’s home was very helpful. I had an idea of what I wanted, but we were able to work together to make a few minor adjustments. On the day of the wedding I was very happy with the final look, as were all the other girls who also got their makeup done. It held well through hours of outdoor pictures in full summer sun and heat, the ceremony, dinner and many hours of dancing. I was pleased with how it showed up both in person and in the final photos. I felt beautiful, but still like myself. I will be recommending Yelena to all my friends who get married going forward 🩷
