About
I truly love what I do, and that makes all the difference. My mission is simple: when you feel beautiful, you look beautiful.
With over 20 years of experience, I specialize in enhancing your natural features without ever making you look overdone. I’ve worked at several prestigious salons in Washington DC including Dessange in Chevy Chase, where I worked as a Makeup Artist while the salon partnered with the Cannes Festival.
I later moved into the bridal world and have since created looks for countless brides, as well as television, documentary, and photography projects. I also offer personalized makeup lessons to help you understand your best colors and the products you truly need for a fresh, polished look.
If you’re ready to feel confident in your own skin, I’d love to work with you.

Danaya did an absolutely amazing job with my makeup for a very special event. She truly made me feel and look like a queen. From the moment she arrived, I could tell how professional and dedicated she is. Despite the rain, traveling from out of state, and having other clients scheduled, she still came early and fully prepared.
What I appreciated most was how attentive and responsive she was throughout the entire process. She really listened to what I wanted, paid attention to every detail, and delivered exactly the look I envisioned — honestly, even better than I imagined. The makeup was flawless, elegant, and lasted beautifully throughout the event.
Beyond her talent, she brought such a calming and positive energy that made the whole experience even more special. I would highly recommend Danaya to anyone looking for a makeup artist who is talented, reliable, professional, and truly cares about making her clients feel beautiful.

Danaya did our makeup for a gala, and she was exceptional. She’s both a gifted artist and a true professional. She took the time to understand the look we wanted, asked thoughtful follow-up questions, and offered smart enhancements that elevated everything.
We couldn’t have been happier with the results—our makeup lasted all night, and we received so many compliments. I highly recommend Danaya to anyone looking for a seamless, polished, and elegantly elevated look. Thank you, Danaya, for bringing it all together!y

She was a pleasure to work with and made me look so amazing for my civil wedding. She arrived on time and got my makeup done so quickly. I highly recommend her! She knows what she is doing. And the makeup lasted all day.

Danaya was great! She was responsive, punctual, gave great advice and was able to make my 50+ skin look subtle, youthful while accentuating my features. She did age appropriate make-up for my teen daughter that was modern, fresh and kept her innocence. My daughter and I have different skin tones/complexions and Danaya left us both happy, beautiful and confident.

Danaya did my makeup for my micro-wedding and I'm so happy I found her! She was very communicative leading up to the day. When I arrived for my appointment she was ready for me and her workspace is spotless and lovely. My eyes kept watering and we had some trouble with my lashes as a result, but she worked through it and never made me feel rushed. She achieved exactly what I wanted for my look, which was basically my natural face just tuned up!
