About

Makeup by Donna Rae is owned by Donna Rae, a luxury bridal makeup artist with more than 30 years in the field, including 28 years as a Regional Artist for Christian Dior. Her background also spans bridal, editorial, film and television work.

Donna believes every bride is beautiful and that wedding day makeup should go further than everyday makeup. The team builds looks for long wear, sweat resistance and high-definition photography, and uses high-performance luxury products.

Because every service happens on location, the artist comes to the client. Destination weddings begin with skin preparation before makeup and hair on the wedding morning, and the team aims for a calm, well-organized start to the day. Bridal concierge service keeps hair and makeup maintained through the day and helps with veil, gown, bouquet and photography moments, coordinated with the client's planner and photographer.

Private lessons are built around each client's personal style and daily routine, moving from fundamentals to more advanced technique. They cover current products, tools, brushes, skincare and how to choose products, with individual recommendations. Makeup kits are sanitized before every service. Appointments are held on a first come, first served basis. Locking in a wedding date requires a signed contract and a deposit covering 50% of the overall service total. Saturday weddings carry a minimum booking fee. Weekday dates are priced individually and can be booked a la carte. Consultations take place by appointment.

According to the salon, it has received awards from The Knot and WeddingWire for eight consecutive years. The salon describes itself as known for its service, professionalism, responsiveness and reliability.

Guided by care and integrity, aiming for timeless, refined looks that enhance natural beauty and stay current with modern trends.
