For my (new) husband and I, one of the biggest factors we were looking for when searching for wedding vendors was responsiveness. You could hire the fanciest stylist and most well-known makeup artist in Toronto, but what if they take 10 days to reply to your email or only give you the time of day a week before your wedding? That might not be a problem to some couples, but it was to us. It actually took awhile for us to find a makeup artist in Toronto who a) didn't have certain demands regarding travel, packages, etc., b) didn't take 5 days to respond to us, c) actually showed genuine compassion and interest in their work and craft, and for their client. I met Daniela a few months before our wedding, and knew she was the one! Out of over 20 makeup artists in Toronto that I contacted, she was the only one who suggested an in-person meeting to talk about my wedding. Honestly, I can't even express how much I appreciated that. She came to our meeting prepared, actually took the time to take notes and understand what I'd be wearing, the look and style I was going for, etc. I knew from the very start that, with Daniela, I was in very good, talented, and responsible hands. And as a bride, trust in your vendor is so key - and I trusted Daniela fully! On our wedding day, Daniela came early and prepared, and was totally unfazed when my mom changed her mind about what she wanted. She is the epitome of creativity, talent, and professionalism. And most importantly - I loved the look she gave me on our wedding day! She can do so many types of looks, and can totally diversify if you ask her to. Show her a picture of what you want - and she'll replicate it. She is so incredibly talented, and you absolutely can't go wrong with choosing her to do your makeup, for whatever occasion, wedding or otherwise! Thank you so much, Daniela, for being a part of our wedding day! Her service is an experience beyond 5 stars. read more

Daniela did my make-up for my wedding. I found her via yelp as she lives conveniently directly across the street from me, but she does mobile work too and quite frankly was well worth travelling for! My make-up looked beautiful and I had loads of compliments about it all day. Daniela even gave me my own tube of touch-up gloss to go, so that I could keep myself looking fresh all day. She has a great set up with fabulous lighting and she did my make-up in a beautiful, natural look. She's also a very warm person and great conversationalist, even managed to make me forget I was getting married in several hours and I felt quite calm after. Thanks Daniela!! read more

Daniela was lovely. She came to my place to make things easy on me, and was super accommodating with what was a last-minute request from me. She did an amazing job at a subtle look (as requested) and was just all around super pleasant to hang out with. She even put up with my crazy pup and demanding small human while she worked :) read more

I live in California but was traveling to Toronto for a wedding. I found Daniela on here and read the reviews and decided to hire her for hair and makeup. It is always somewhat of a crapshoot when hiring someone in another city/country when you don't know anyone there. I was VERY pleasantly surprised. She kept in touch several times beforehand and kept me informed of the process and pre-instructions. Amy did my hair and listened to my requests perfectly. My hair was gorgeous! Very classy and it stayed in the style all night long. Daniela did an awesome job on my makeup. My makeup looked flawless and natural. I really felt like a princess! Thank you both for making me feel so pretty. If I am ever in Toronto again and need " the works", I will be calling Face Time with Daniela. read more

Daniela did my makeup for the Miracle Gala in Toronto, a black-tie charity event. I was really concerned about looking overly made-up or clownish- anyone who has gotten their makeup done at MAC knows what I am talking about. My fears were unfounded, because Daniela nailed it! My makeup was flawless- she did a fantastic job of enhancing my features, making me look polished instead of painted. My husband told me that my makeup has never looked better- including on my wedding day! I will definitely use her for my next event in Toronto! read more

I had a private make-up lesson with Daniella about a month ago. The session was very hands on and informative, with all of my questions answered with ease. A month later I am still using the techniques daily to create a more polished look. I recommend this lesson to anyone who wants to learn more about make-up application and products. Daniella was super kind during the session and I even reached out to her after to ask her opinion on products - she replied promptly and helped me out. Thanks again. I highly recommend her services! read more

Loved the look Daniela gave me over the weekend! I went to her place and it took about 45 minutes. She was friendly, competent and felt trustworthy. The makeup job itself simple and elegant, and it enhanced my natural features- I received lots of compliments at the wedding I attended. read more

I found Daniela through a YELP search when I needed a makeup artist for my bridal shower. Normally I am very hesitant about booking someone for make up who I've never used but with Daniela, I was SO thankful I found & her and let her work her magic. I showed her a idea of what I liked on Pinterest & talked about the colours I normally like to wear. She went above & beyond my expectations. I got so many compliments on my makeup during my bridal shower & even when I felt like I was hot & sweaty through the evening, my make up did not budge. I am 100% using Daniela again for any event that I need makeup done for! read more

Daniela is not only a skilled makeup artist but she also has a laid back and relaxed approach to her work, which is so important on a hectic wedding day. She's a careful listener and goes above and beyond to make sure her client feel not only beautiful but comfortable. If attention to detail and great customer service is what you're looking for, then you have found it in Daniela, look no further! read more

I flew in to Toronto for a wedding and was accommodated by Daniela with not much notice (from me) She was super nice and efficient. All her makeup and brushes were clean and she even gave me recommendations for Hair and Nails in the area. I loved the look she gave me and I got a ton of compliments. I would absolutely use her again! read more

My girlfriend (the bride!) and I went to Face Time with Daniela in November to learn some wedding makeup tips. We honestly didn't know what to expect as neither of us had done anything beyond the department store makeup counter trials. Daniela instantly put us at ease and was very personable. She explained everything to us - her techniques, products, brushes, cleaning, skin treatments etc. Daniela is very knowledgeable and passionate which helped build my confidence in the bride's makeup application. Both the bride and I are excited and feel secure that we will be able to do amazing makeup for this destination wedding! Thank you Daniela! read more

I been through a number of makeup trials to find the right makeup artist for my big day and when things seem to all go for the worst, I was recommended by a friend to try Daniela and I'm glad I did. I almost never wear makeup so I didn't really know what worked for me and what didn't. I left everything up to Daniela and just advised her the colors (other than my white dress) I would be wearing on the day of. I was a little hesitant when she described what she had planned for me, but I was incredibly surprised! I loved the trail look and of course I booked her for the day of. Daniela was awesome at following up with me on everything! I was undecided if I wanted to do engagement photos or not, but when I did decide to, I just so happen to receive an email from Daniela inquiry if I would need her to do my makeup for the shoot, which of course I did and it was just as great as my trial. Throughout the months until my wedding day, Daniela had always been on top of things and was willing to coordinate with my hairstylist (which was awesome). She always send thank you email and reminded me that the wedding date is soon and confirming the time/date, number of people needing makeup to be done, etc. In addition to just hiring Daniela for the makeup the day of for my girls, mother and myself, I decided to hire her for majority of the day to touchup my makeup so that I looked perfect all day. Daniela did advise that the makeup she used would last all day, but being a nervous wreck, I insisted on having her stick around, which she was happy to do so. Needless to say, she was right, the makeup did last, she still touched up my makeup and everyone's makeup/lipstick throughout the day even though the touchup throughout the day was actually just for me, but she took the time to do everyone else's without extra charge. Daniela did an awesome job and everyone (bridal party, mom, everyone @ the wedding) was pretty impressed. Summary - Daniela is great! Always on time, does an awesome job, prices are surprisingly reasonable for the work she does. Daniela made my pre-wedding/wedding date as stress free as possible and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone. I would definitely be using her again (possibly for my maturity photos...soon?) - Wedding date - 9/1/2013 read more

Daniela is very friendly, nice girl. She asks me to send her some sample makeup pictures several days before I meet her. She understand what I want very quickly, and did a very good job on my bridal makeup. The girl who did my hair also incredibly good. I got so much compliment!!!!! Also, she give me a touch up lip kit !!!! read more

I found Daniela on Yelp and, given her great reviews, chose her for my wedding makeup trial. She did a wonderful job with my makeup and took the time to figure out my skin needs, as well as the general look I was going for. Very detail-oriented, it is clear that she is a perfectionist and very experienced when it comes to make-up. My make-up lasted for well over 12 hours and felt comfortable on my skin. She also recommended products for me to try given my skin concerns and needs. I would definitely recommend trying Daniela for a flawless professional makeup job! read more
