Ana did an amazing job on my makeup as mother of the bride. I was so pleased with how it came out. I showed her the color of my dress and the colors she chose went perfectly! I re...
ceived so many compliments throughout the day. I was a little concerned it wouldn’t last all day but Ana assured me it would. She was right!! I only had to touch up my lipstick a couple of times. By the end of the wedding, my makeup was still on point. I’d recommend Ana to all my family and friends. Thank you, Ana, for making me feel so beautiful.
Ana has been my go to makeup artist for years now! She is literally so amazing and is the best makeup artist I know. She recently did mine and my wedding party’s makeup & hair and...
made the process so amazing and smooth. Trust me she is worth every penny!!!
I’ve recently worked with Ana and Angelina on my wedding day hair and makeup (at Loose Mansion). Ana was very prompt and proactive in accommodating hair and makeup appointments for...
my bridesmaids in a very short notice. She is very professional and provides reasonably priced onsite services.
She came on time, did all her set up very neatly and quickly. She and Angelina did an amazing job on all the hair and makeup of all the girls she was booked for. Additionally, she provided help to the other HMU vendor I booked for myself and fixed their work on my hair which I wasn’t satisfied with - this was not even her responsibility nor was she paid for. So I must say she and Angelina saved my big day. On a retrospect, I really would’ve liked to book her for myself as well if I had known her earlier. I hope more google reviews such as this can help her get connected to more and more people.
Alongside the services she provided, Ana was also very nice and friendly. My girls had the best time getting ready. They all looked very pretty and happy. Not to mention, after Ana’s assistant Angelina fixed my hair - I was very happy too.
I’d definitely recommend Beauty By Ana. Ana is experienced, goes above and beyond and a very lovely person.

h make up. One wears zero make up to one being enthralled with make up. She kept us all in our comfort zones while still getting us photo ready! She did amazing with all of our hair styles too! One bridesmaid was concerned having thinner hair but Ana was still able to get a braid in while giving her a thicker hair look! Most importantly she kept us laughing and calm all day! I will recommend her to everyone and will definitely book her for any additional photo shoots!
