Dawn is a fantastic make up artist. She spent time deciding on a look that suited my features which I really appreciated and I think that made all the difference in the end result. She has great communication. She responded quickly and was easy to schedule. She accepts online payments. I went to her, for my appointment but she also travels. I can not recommend her enough. I will definitely be booking her for my next event. read more

THE BEST. Still the best make up job I have ever had almost 7 years after my wedding. I wish I lived closer to use her for all my events forever. Her personality is also SO fun. I was ready to have her join the bridal party. Love love love!! read more

After what seemed like countless hours scrolling through websites and Instagram looking for someone to do my bridal makeup, everything was looking exactly the same. That was until I came across Dawn - I could tell immediately from looking through her portfolio that she was a next level makeup artist, and I booked her right away without a trial. She is truly amazing at what she does and is a total pro. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, and beyond that, it was so amazing to see how happy my bridal party and my mom were with their makeup. I've had my makeup done for events before, but it all paled in comparison to Dawn's work. I would 1000% hire her again and recommend her to anyone who needs makeup services. read more

Dawn's services were a last minute booking and I am so glad I did. She was punctual, professional and her work was seamless. We were crammed in a small room with photographers in her space and she never broke a sweat. I was nervous never having had the opportunity for a make up trial and was blown away by the final result. She listened to exactly what I wanted and I couldnt have been more impressed. You have to book with Dawn, you wont regret it. read more

It took me a long time to write this review because I didn't think it would be worth it. But after years of looking at my wedding pictures, I'm always disappointed in the makeup. It's obviously something that has caused disappointment and it still bothers me a few years later. She's very competent and her portfolio proves that. However, I just didn't like my makeup the day of my wedding it was different than than my trial. The pictures that my family and friends took made me look dull and my face wasn't glowing and the foundation applied to the lower half of my face was the wrong color. At the trial, I really liked the way she gave me a flawless look with a moderate coverage foundation, but on my wedding day she used a different foundation and didn't match me or my neck area. I believe it was a foundation that self matches skin. She also told me I didn't need foundation on the upper half of my face. At that time, I thought it was strange but she's the expert and that was the last thing on my mind. Perhaps I should have written down all products used. My eyelashes were also different and they were more drooping than at trial and gave me a completely different look. One started coming off after first look photos and was bending downward. I was pretty upset after seeing the photos. Thankfully the professional photographer was able to edit our official photos and manipulate the lighting to make my neck match my face. But there are several photos where it is still obvious. I know my skin is very hard to match (South Asian skin is) and I only just found my shade by mixing two colors together. I'm just sad that I didn't look my best on a day. I had her do my makeup at another photo shoot to give her the benefit of the doubt and to perhaps see if my original look could be replicated. This look was better than the wedding day. However, the foundation color was off again. I gave her one to try and she just applied it without suggesting one that might match better from her kit. I just wish we could have replicated the work she did on the initial trial and I'm still not sure why she decided to use different makeup from the trial. It always makes me sad to not be happy with someone working in a small independent business. However, giving long and conscientious thought to this, and considering I don't love my makeup on an important (maybe most important) day of my life, it might be worth informing others about ways you can prevent this from happening. I might have been just another client to her (that's how I felt) that she has long forgotten but I will remember the makeup I got that day for that rest of my life. It's really unfortunate and is a small problem in the grand scheme of things but it needed to be highlighted. read more

Dawn did an AMAZING job on my wedding makeup. After a trial elsewhere I was really looking for someone to give me the "Barbie" bridal look. I was looking for an ultra glam look and Dawn was able to achieve that and more! I felt so beautiful on my wedding day and the makeup lasted all day and night! I didn't need to reapply anything. She was also prompt and very flexible when scheduling the trial. I cannot thank Dawn enough for making me look and feel like a princess on my wedding day! She is an incredibly talented artist and can pretty much do anything too if glam isn't your thing ;) thanks Dawn! read more

I could not say enough about Dawn and her team. My sister got married this past weekend and used Dawn for the big day. I am very very particular about makeup and almost opted to do my own makeup for the wedding. I decided to let dawn do my makeup and I am so glad that I did. I told her exactly what I wanted and what I like and she executed perfectly. Not only that the makeup lasted all day, looked perfect in pictures and had so many compliments. Highly recommend dawn for any event you have. read more

Dawn recently did make up for my wedding day. I have never looked or felt more beautiful in my whole life. She is amazing to work with, so nice and kind, we loved having her in the hotel getting ready with us. Not only did she do my make up, but my mom's, who had never had hers done professionally before and was nervous. Dawn was wonderful, and gave her just the look she was going for. She even did 6 bridesmaids! I can not recommend her enough. She's worth every penny! read more

Dawn and her team are the best of the best! I come from a family of makeup snobs and each one is still raving about the quality and perfection that is Dawn Bliss. She did my bridal party of 13 people and handled it with such ease and flexibility. While she was unbelievably easy to plan with prior to the big day, her precision and ability to make anyone look and feel like a million bucks is unmatched. I wish I had an excuse to use her every weekend! read more

Dawn did my makeup for my wedding day....I was so happy with how I looked. I literally did not have to retouch my makeup the whole day except for my Lipstick! Would highly recommend!!! read more

Just book her before someone else does. I am a big researcher and do my homework especially when it's something important like how my FACE is going to look on the most important day of my life...! You obviously want someone who knows what they're doing and therefore someone you can trust. Dawn is that person. The short version: The 5 star reviews I found online for her, the varied yet equally stunning looks she is able to create (as evident by her website, social media accounts and referral I received) and her ability to be professional yet personal in our communications early on were all reasons I chose her. After working with her I can additionally add that she is always quick to respond back to you, she is punctual, she is calm and flexible with any last minute changes and is happy to lend additional advice to help your day go as smoothly as possible. She has years of expertise and is such a professional that she just doesn't get her feathers ruffled easily. She gets the job done but knows how to have a good time. The bonus is that she's just a beautiful person inside and out. For those that need more detail: Dawn was recommended to me by one of my bridesmaids who was familiar with Dawn's work in 2 ways: she was in a previous wedding 8 years ago where Dawn was the MUA and she (my friend) is a hair stylist and has seen Dawn's work on a number of women wanting a variety of looks. My friend is brutally honest about her feedback and is particular about what she approves of so I believed her when she said "I've seen Dawn do glam or natural and everyone always looks amazing". I mean, if SHE was recommending Dawn she MUST be good. So I looked at Dawn's website and Instagram. I absolutely loved what I saw. I did not feel the same way after looking at other MAU's work and interviewing them. I even read part of her blog and this made me admire her even more because of how she came across as a professional AND individual. That may not matter to you, and it wasn't something I thought would make a difference to me, but it did. In the end, I booked her as fast as I could. I could NOT have been happier with everything Dawn did. We did a trial and it went great but days before my wedding I started leaning towards something different so I emailed her and asked for a more dramatic look. I trusted her enough to not feel like another trial was necessary so on my wedding day she just looked at my dress and knew instantly why I wanted more "drama". She went to work and omg I was SO THRILLED with what she did. It was perfect!!!! She did the makeup for my 6 bridesmaids and every one of them was gorgeous. For reference, we had age ranges in the 30's, 40's and 50's and every.single. woman. was. a knockout. They all said they felt incredible, they were doing selfies and getting praises from their husbands and from their friends on social media. Dawn handled the makeup for all 7 of us and it was like clockwork. She got everyone done in plenty of time and remained flexible when one girl wanted to change her look after seeing what another girl did. Thanks to Dawn, everybody's look was on point and we were on time for doing pics with our photographers. Keep in mind we never felt rushed or stressed...in fact her energy and positivity only added to the fun that day. And yes everyone's makeup looks every bit as stunning in the photos. I have ZERO regrets about hiring Dawn and will forever refer her. I would absolutely book her again. read more

From bride to bombshell, Dawn can do it all! She's wonderful at her craft and I've absolutely loved all of the looks she's created for me.
