I’m a bridal makeup artist based in Austin, specializing in soft, natural glam that enhances your features while still feeling like you.
My approach is to tailor the makeup to each client. I focus on creating timeless, romantic looks that feel comfortable, look elevated, and last all day especially in Texas heat.
I primarily work with natural, soft glam styles and have experience with a range of skin tones and skin types. Skin prep is a big part of my process to ensure your makeup looks smooth, long-lasting, and beautiful both in person and on camera.
If you’re looking for a relaxed, personalized experience and makeup that feels effortless and polished, I’d love to be part of your day.

Yona was wonderful! I wanted to get my makeup done for a last minute photo shoot. She responded immediately and was able to schedule me within a few days. She was so professional and made me feel at home. She did a phenomenal job with my make up. I highly recommend her for your make up, wedding and hair style needs.

Yona was amazing!!! She was there when she said she would be, very professional. Her work stands for itself. You can tell she is doing this because she enjoys it. I HIGHLY recommend her. She provides the perfect soft but made up look. None of that overdone heavy make-up and it lasted ALL day and into evening. Even with the extreme temperatures. Thank YOU Yona so much for this pleasant experience

I was super happy with Yona and my makeup. She did my makeup and the bridesmaids' along with my Mom. Everyone looked awesome! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a makeup artist for their wedding. I found that when I was looking for a makeup artist a lot of them charged double or triple for bridal makeup vs. bridesmaid's (not including trial). Yona charged the same for every person and it was very reasonable. I loved working with her. She is use to working on sets with photographers and can put a face on super fast! She is also very sweet and kept complimenting me, which made me feel even better about my appearance.

Yona did a great job doing the makeup for my wedding and the makeup of my mother. I looked beautiful, my mom looked beautiful, she did amazing. It was a hectic scene and she did great being sociable and felt like part of the wedding party herself in my eyes. I wouldn't have had such a good day without her.

Yona was wonderful! She made every single bridesmaid and the bride beautiful!! We did not have a trial with her, and it was not necessary with her talent! She met our make up needs more than expected. She is also professional and kind! You won't regret booking her!!
