She is the best and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for the best makeup artist in Delaware

I've been creating since I can remember. It may have started with drawing and painting, but creating has always been my passion! I've been a makeup artist for over 11 years now, and over that time I have been very lucky to train and work with some incredible artists and companies. These include Lancome, Clinique, Bare Minerals, Shiseido and NARS and artists Jenny Smith, Manuel Villegas, Dani Fonseca, Sandy Linter and Kevin James Bennett. To elevate my skills, I decided to go to school to receive my estheticians license. I am also a mother to two little boys and a product junkie!!

Dani did my makeup when I was a bridesmaid in 2019, and ever since then, I knew I wanted to work with her again. Although Dani is primarily based in Delaware, I arranged for her to...
come to Old City for my wedding. Dani not only listens attentively and cares deeply about skincare, but she is also an incredibly kind person. Her makeup chair became a sanctuary of calm amidst the wedding day chaos for both myself and my bridesmaids. She even provided my sister, the maid of honor, with a touch-up kit to ensure my makeup stayed perfect throughout the day. Thanks to Dani, everyone looked glowing and stunning.

table in my own skin thanks to her. The entire process was so easy, we had a consultation when I first reached out and then stayed in contact until my makeup trial (which she nailed) and again until my wedding day. She was perfectly in sync with the wedding day timeline. She provides a bag of makeup goodies for wedding day touch ups, including full sized lip colors, though I didn’t need to use any of it because everything stayed in place for the full day/night. She is so incredibly talented, attentive, and just a great person - you will not be disappointed. I wish I could hire her every day of my life!

Not only is she a master of her craft, she is so kind, professional, brings positive vibes, and amazed my bridal party too! She is worth every penny! You will love her and she'll make you love yourself on your most special day.

All of my bridesmaids were obsessed with their looks as well. If you're looking for a makeup artist for your wedding, Dani is your girl. I would not hesitate to book her again!

I cannot thank Dani enough for being such a huge part of my special day, and making me feel like the most beautiful bride. THANK YOU, DANI!!

so well to what I wanted and I felt totally comfortable asking for changes/tweaks during our trial that when it came to my wedding day, she knocked it out of the park! We had a late addition to the number of people needing to get their make up done and she so graciously fit them in! She is a master at natural glam and I truly have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. My bridesmaids and Mom all felt the same about their make up and we all received endless compliments. Dani is so kind and also helped to calm nerves the day of! I have nothing but wonderful words to say about her and the work she does đź’–

My fair skin, freckles, and blue eyes don’t lend itself to a traditional Smokey eye and she created the best bridal makeup I could’ve ever thought of or have seen before with golds and warm tones- I got SO many compliments that day.
