Refeyeance Makeup and Hair 

5.0

  • Team of 20
  • Starts at $500
  • Serves McLean, VA

We are an award winning talent agency composed of the beauty industry’s best. Each artist is carefully selected for your wedding based on their many years of experience, awards, education, licensing, talent and attention to detail. Now you can get ready in the comfort of your home, hotel or wedding venue instead of traveling to a salon or makeup counter. The benefits of working with an agency vs. a solo artist is that in the event of an emergency we are likely to have a replacement artist for you in addition to providing you with immediate correspondence.

RefEYEance had great communication throughout the booking process and had thorough coordination with Holly. Holly, the hair and makeup artist, was a dream to work with for our wedding day. She was so lovely at our trial and was open to any changes I wanted (really didn't have much). Holly was also so understanding when I decided to do my own hair, which wasn't a reflection of her work at all -- just wanted to feel like myself on the big day. We ended up having her do my makeup, two bridesmaid's hair and makeup, and my mother's hair. Everything was perfect. Holly is so personable and professional, and helped make the morning of the wedding calm and stress-free. The quality of her work was beautiful and everything on time. I highly recommend RefEYEance and especially Holly to any couple planning their wedding!

  • Team of 1
  • Starts at $440
  • Serves McLean, VA

I personally Love to create beautiful, effortless bridal makeup looks for someone’s special day! From very natural makeup to glam makeup depending on your style! After working my first wedding I became obsessed with the beauty industry. I wanted to keep growing and learned basic makeup looks to full glam and airbrush. Specializing in bridal glam I continued to work weddings and loved the environment and the idea of being able to enhance a bride’s look for the day! Being able to create the perfect look for you is the goal! Feeling comfortable and beautiful.

I hired Danna to do my wedding makeup. At the makeup trial, we went with one look and on the day of my wedding, I completely changed it up on Danna and she delivered despite the change! I wanted a more natural look, something that made me feel like an enhanced version of myself and Danna did an amazing job achieving that! She is a sweetheart, has a great personality and you can tell she really cares about her craft. Always professional, responsive and very skilled at what she does. I've already contacted her to do my baby shower makeup because I trust her work and know she will make me feel beautiful that day! Thank you, Danna!!! 3

LOOK NO FURTHER, CHRISTINE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found Christine for my wedding makeup because she was everything I was looking for and more! I did a makeup trial with someone else that went terribly and was scrambling to find a new makeup artist less than two months before my wedding. I am truly so grateful I found Christine. Her talent speaks for itself, just check out her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/christinecouturecormier/). I had my first video consultation with Christine the day after I found her, and we discussed what went wrong with the first person and what I was hoping to achieve for my wedding day look. Not only was it clear that she knew what I was looking for, but she also had amazing ideas about the entire makeup experience on my wedding day that I hadn’t even thought of. Your makeup artist is SO important because you’ll have these photos forever and they’re the first vendor you interact with so they help set the mood for the day. Christine was an incredible presence the whole time she was there. She and the second makeup artist Lindsey made me and my entire bridal party look and feel amazing! Christine made incredible content with me and my bridal party and she was also there for my first look. She was the perfect calming presence I needed for the most exciting but stressful moment of the day. She helped fluff my dress and took photos and videos I was able to have immediately after the first look. You want to feel confident that your makeup artist is going to make you look and feel amazing, and I promise you can trust Christine with that! My guests were raving about my makeup! I felt done up and more special than my everyday makeup, but I still felt and looked like myself. Also the makeup lasted all night long! She is worth every single penny!! If you pick Christine to be your makeup artist you will not regret it!

Quanisha always loved makeup, and as a child, to hone her skills her mother would allow her to practice on her during her evening naps. However, after graduating from makeup school with a makeup artistry certificate, she was disappointed to see makeup looks created without the personalization of the client's character and personal style. So, in 2018, attended Gwynnis Mosby Makeup Training center located in Tucker, GA soon after, Quanisha began her makeup artistry freelancing business called Quanisha Moody Makeup Artistry.

Quanisha’s skills are unmatched, I was the Maid of Honor for our wedding party and she went above and beyond for our big day. The bride, myself, and our mother received exactly what we each asked for; from simple light makeup to full glam. Quanisha and her husband were so kind and funny; she came very well prepared with printouts of our inspiration photos and asking us simple questions throughout the process to assure we received our desired looks! I couldn’t recommend Quanisha more for weddings or any other events you are considering a professional makeup artist for. Thank you again!!!
