Alana is the BEST
Alana is absolutely incredible. I found her on instagram when I started planning and booked her over a year in advance. She's so talented. A true artist. I never wear makeup (I'm a pilates instructor for a living), and she made me feel so natural, so beautiful, simply an elevated version of myself on wedding day. My bridesmaids looked stunning. My 71 year old mom had her makeup done and almost cried at how beautiful she looked and felt. Alana is a dream! I am so grateful xx -

Audra M. Sent on 10/25/2020Perfect make up artist for my elopement!
Alana was absolutely wonderful to work with. I booked her on very short notice for our elopement (about 2 or 3 weeks notice) and I was so glad she was available. She's so talented and made me feel so beautiful. I wanted a natural, dewey kind of look and she nailed it. She asked me for some inspiration pics ahead of time and came prepared. She arrived on time and was so friendly. She wore a mask the whole time and was very covid safe. She even gave me a recommendation for activities for the rest of the weekend since I was new to the area. I would definitely recommend! -

Alana is the best! She did the makeup for my sister's wedding and we loved how it came out so much that I booked her for mine a few years later. For my wedding, she did 9 women's makeup by herself and everyone LOVED their makeup. I really wanted beautiful but natural makeup and Alana nailed it! I looked like myself but just enhanced a bit :) Alana was professional, patient, and understanding of everyone's needs. Getting ready the morning of your wedding is a very intimate setting, but Alana being there felt very natural and only added to the calm vibes that I wanted. I highly recommend her for absolutely any occasion! -

Where do I begin? Alana SAVED ME, as my original MUA dropped out at the last minute, and what a blessing in disguise this was! We instantly connected over email as her "vibe" perfectly complemented mine. Not only did she make me look amazing, but I FELT amazing–I was totally feeling myself all day. I threw a lot of vague descriptions about what I wanted at Alana and she delivered exactly what I was picturing. She is a true, intuitive artist. As a bonus, Alana is a delight to be around. She's warm, funny, and just has an overall wonderful energy–a MUST HAVE for an anxious bride on her wedding day. -

Alana was such a pleasure to work with! I originally had my wedding scheduled in July this year but my husband and I decided to push out our wedding to 2021. At the 10th hour we decided we still wanted to have a small ceremony but my makeup artist that I had originally booked now had plans. (Fair enough...I did tell her we were rescheduling) I am so so grateful that Alana was available for our date! I secretly was very happy because I had been admiring her work for a while also. She showed up exactly on time to my MIL’s house and right from the start was incredibly friendly. Not only that, but on a personal note, Alana is super sweet, relatable and interesting! It made for conversation that was most welcome on a morning that I was super nervous. As far as her work...it’s awesome! She did the makeup for my matron of honor, my SIL, both moms and myself the bride. We all looked flawlesss and no one had to even touch their makeup all day. (And it was a hot one in the thick of July!!) My pictures came out really elegant and I’m just so happy that Alana was available for my micro wedding! Thank you Alana! -

Brenna M. Sent on 10/26/2020Best makeup ever!!
Alana was seriously a DREAM to work with. I got married in August 2020 which was a postponed date from June. With all of the rescheduling and uncertainty, Alana stayed calm, cool and collected. She took accommodating me & my girls to a new level with her positive and calming demeanor, which I really appreciated. I originally booked her because I loved her natural makeup look and feel and she delivered perfectly. I loved my wedding makeup even more than the trial. She really listened to what I wanted and made it come to life. It stayed on all night - even the lipstick which is from her own line. I still use it to this day, it's one of my favs :) Thanks for everything Alana! -

Beautiful, natural glam wedding makeup.
Alana was the perfect choice for my elopement makeup. She did the perfect natural glam makeup that made me feel like myself, but more beautiful. She was an absolute pro. She helped me decide on a timeline for my makeup and she came totally prepared. I was getting ready for my elopement alone (with some family on zoom) and Alana was such a wonderful person to have there. -

As someone who hates getting their make up done, Alana made the experience easy and actually enjoyable! During my trial, she was so open and eager to create my perfect vision and was so patient when I couldn’t describe what I wanted clearly:) on my wedding day it was like seeing an old friend again and she killed it. My make up was exactly what I had envisioned and lasted all night without feeling thick or gross. I would highly recommend her and would love to work with her again. -

Caitlin Sent on 10/23/2019Amazing and Skiled!
Alana truly worked magic on me and my bridesmaids for my wedding! She was absolutely wonderful - a true professional who was able to expediently transform all of us with her skills into polished beauties. Alana was very easy to talk to and to work with - she was sure to ask about any photo references to make up I liked and was great at emulating that. I preferred a natural, glowing look for my make up and Alana certainly delivered! She is warm hearted and easy going, and again, a consummate professional! -

Alana did such an amazing job for our wedding. I was definitely stressed about my hair and make up for the wedding because it was raining and it ended up being a hot day - Alana dealt with my craziness with grace & made sure that everyone looked absolutely gorgeous on the day of through the full day. I had a mix of bridesmaids, junior bridesmaids & moms on the day of and she accommodated the most glam to the least glam and everyone in between. I've been in a lot of weddings and I've never seen someone able to accommodate so many different looks & so beautifully. Everyone's make up looked flawless from the minute they were finished through the rain, 3 hours of a pictures, a ceremony, hours of dancing and then a bonfire after party. She also stopped by the venue right before the ceremony for touch ups (not that I even needed them) just to ease my concern. On top of being amazing at what she does, she's also a beautiful person who had such a calming presence throughout the whole process. I can't thank her enough & would recommend her to anyone needing make up services! -

Jessica J. Sent on 10/03/2019Alana was crucial!
Alana was an absolute joy to work with for my wedding. We got married on July 19, 2019 - and it was BLAZING hot. Between the heat and the humidity from a random sunshower an hour before our outdoor ceremony was to start, I was SURE I'd look a sweaty mess by the time I walked down the aisle. Boy, was I wrong. But let me back up.
Alana arrived promptly and immediately began her set up. We had worked out the order of the bridesmaids ahead of time, and she got right to work. She worked with each girl to find the best look for their skin and complexion. Every single one of the girls looked beautiful.
When it came time for me, I asked Alana if she could up slightly from our trial. She took my request in stride and executed it flawlessly. She constantly reassured me that I would NOT look sweaty in photos, and touched me up once more before she left.
Alana was 100% right. I could feel the heat hanging in the air, yet my face looked absolutely flawless. My husband and guests remarked multiple times how amazed they were that I looked like I was not the least bit bothered by the heat. And my photos proved it. Alana is a true miracle worker, a badass woman, and a kind-hearted soul. If I was financially able to, I'd hire Alana as my private make-up artist, so that I could feel as glamorous and gorgeous going to Target as I did on my wedding day. Thank you times one million for being such a crucial part of my wedding day. -

Bethany Sent on 08/04/2019Just the best!
Alana did makeup for me and my bridesmaids, and I can't recommend her enough. She helped me achieve a natural look that made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. She also adapted to all of my bridesmaids' requests—there was a range of styles and levels of glam—and everyone looked gorgeous! Perhaps the most impressive part of it all was that everyone's makeup lasted beautifully over the course of my mid-July outdoor wedding. And I have to emphasize that Alana is the loveliest, sweetest, most relaxed person—exactly the vibe you want on the morning of your wedding to help ease any potential anxiety. Thank you Alana!! You are a gem. -

Allison Sent on 11/06/2019Most beautiful bridal makeup!
Alana is so incredibly talented patient and kind. She listened to all my thoughts and concerns and she made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day! I had a huge bridal party and she was totally cool about it and made everyone look their absolute best! My mother was going through chemotherapy during my wedding and Alana paid extra attention to her. She felt and looked so beautiful! It really meant so much to the both of us. If you're looking for a makeup artist that is talented, fast and really listens to what you want I would 100% suggest BEAUTY by Alana Maria.
Thanks again for everything!
