Yanina was absolutely wonderful to work with! She did Serena’s makeup for an on-camera media segment, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience or the final look. She was professional, warm, attentive, and incredibly talented. She really understood how to create makeup that looked beautiful and natural in person while also translating flawlessly on camera.
Yanina was such a pleasure to have on set and made the entire process feel easy and seamless. It looked polished, radiant, and completely like herself, which was exactly what we wanted. We would absolutely work with Yanina again and highly recommend her for media appearances, events, or any occasion where you want to look and feel your best!

I cannot say enough wonderful things about my makeup artist! From our very first conversation, she was professional, attentive, and genuinely invested in making me feel beautiful on my wedding day.
She took the time to understand exactly the look I wanted—elegant, timeless, and natural—and absolutely exceeded my expectations. At 56, I wanted makeup that enhanced my features without looking heavy, and she achieved that perfectly. My skin looked radiant, my eyes popped, and I felt like the most confident version of myself.
Not only was the makeup flawless, but it also lasted through happy tears, hugs, dancing, and an entire day of celebration without needing touch-ups. The compliments were nonstop! Guests, family, and even my photographer commented on how beautiful and polished everything looked.
Beyond her incredible talent, she brought such a calming and positive energy to the getting-ready process. On a day that can be stressful, she made me feel relaxed, pampered, and truly special.
If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is talented, professional, reliable, and passionate about her craft, look no further. She played a huge part in making my wedding day unforgettable, and I would recommend her a thousand times over!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars isn’t enough!

Amazing Experience! ✨
Yanina was so professional, accommodating, kind, and reassuring from the moment I met her! She truly saved the day when I was about to have an anxiety attack because my hair was so frizzy. She immediately calmed me down, worked her magic, and got my hair looking AMAZING so quickly! 😍
Then she did my makeup, and WOW! She told me my husband would cry when he saw me walking down the aisle, and she was absolutely right! 🥹❤️ He and everyone else kept complimenting how beautiful my hair and makeup looked.
I had a beach wedding, and my makeup lasted ALL DAY AND NIGHT through the heat, tears, pictures, and celebration! 🌊💍✨
I’m so grateful to Yanina for making me feel comfortable, beautiful, and confident on such an important day. Highly, highly recommend her!💕 she is definitely my go to from here on out

Yanina did my hair and makeup for my wedding and did an absolutely amazing job. I sent her pictures and she made me look exactly like the pictures. She’s super nice, very responsive to all messages, punctual, and made sure that I was ready on time. I will definitely be using her services again for any future events that require glam services. Her work is impeccable!
