I had my wedding in Hawaii last week. Delish Makeup Artistry was recommended by the wedding…read morecoordinators from Haiku Gardens (which is where I had my wedding at). I communicated with the team via phone (but left a voice message) then communicated via texts (which seemed faster and convenient for everyone). I was able to set a makeup and hair trial session 6 days before my big day. I was set up with the amazing Moana! I am a person who does not wear makeup a lot nor has great makeup skills lol. So I will admit, I was nervous. I mean, I had my share of experiences from Sephora and I was not always satisfied. So yes, I was skeptic. BUT...Moana did an amazing job with my hair and makeup trial! I loved it! She is friendly and hilarious. And she was honest with me. I showed her inspiration pictures and she let me know that the pictures I showed her were AI and reminded me that their skin is flawless and that she cannot make it exactly like the picture but she can work with what I have and make it beautiful in my own way. And she asked me questions and opinions on how I wanted to look. And the results of the trial session was amazing. For the rest of the day I walked outside and felt beautiful hehe. The day of, Moana, made me look and feel beautiful. I loved my makeup and my hair!! And my bridesmaids and my mom and mother-in-law were glammed up by the other amazing girls from DMA and omg...they all looked amazing! And they all loved it! And we were ready on time when the limo was to pick us up...okay, maybe a few minutes late. But the driver was not complaining hehe. Thank you girls from DMA that helped me and my girls look beautiful for the big day! Makeup and hair stayed on well too for all of us, especially with the heat and humidity that day. hehe. MAHALO!!!!

Last minute changes. Lack of communication. Surprise fees…read more The week before the wedding was stressful, but I didn't expect to cry the most over Delish. We were looking to book Heather, the owner of the business, and were given 2 options - a standard package to book with the team or the more expensive LUX package to lock down Heather. For the standard package, they said Heather was available, scheduled herself for our wedding, and it's rare that another bride will book LUX package on the same day and cause Heather to move off. So, we felt comfortable to go with the first option thinking they would communicate if anything changes. Nothing changed for almost a year - until the week before the wedding. We were notified that another bride is interested in Heather, but nothing was confirmed so we could still upgrade the package. We were in the middle of work meetings, panicked, and decided that we would! It's the week before the wedding and we would throw money at any stability as we knew nothing about the other artist. We took out our credit card and our heart sank when we saw "Ok so we just got booked for a LUX from the other bride for this day". They didn't tell us this was a race!? We were given only 34 minutes to decide!? We thought they'd at least have the courtesy to wait for the initial client to make decisions. Sure it's not *illegal* but it's definitely unkind for Delish to pit 2 brides against each other the week before the wedding. Our wedding coordinator suggested to Heather that she should call us. We heard nothing, waited, and only got text messages 2 days later that they would make it up to us by doing the trial at our hotel instead of their studio. Then, they charged us $30 for parking tickets, which we would not have agreed to if we knew about it. We also requested to see the artist's portfolio to get over the feeling that I was going with a fallback option. It took 4 days for Heather to say "Sorry, completely forgot to send those over". 2-4 days is not a long time in a non-wedding settings, but keep in mind that this was 1 week before the wedding. That was 4 days of me crying convinced I was not going to look my best at my wedding. We considered not tipping with all the stress they put us through but we decided that the makeup artist is not a part of the admin team, so we still did. In the end, the artist was nice but the tears and nightmare they put us through was not worth it.

I can be my biggest critic when it comes to looking in the mirror heh :'), so I am super appreciative of Dhyana's artistry and talent. I chose a soft glam look (in between glam and natural), and I was in awe of how I looked in reality and in photos! Dhyana is not only amazing at her craft, but she also carries a calm presence with her that makes you feel at ease on stressful big days. Jessica and Nori helped take great care of my wedding party, all of whom also looked dashing! Jessica was so friendly that one of my friends (who's a dog fanatic) chatted with her about dogs the whole session and they later followed each other on Instagram! I also chose to have a makeup trial for an engagement photoshoot, which I'm glad I did because I got to see what I liked and didn't like. For example, while I looked fantastic in person, my look in photos turned out differently due to our photographer's filters and editing style. It was helpful and highly recommended! In essence, FAB may be on the pricier side, but if you want to look drop dead gorgeous and not stress on your big day, they're it (and completely worth it)!

But Face Art Beauty completely eased my anxieties. From the start, they were so communicative, and checked in with reminders and tips along the way. I was lucky enough to get an appointment on short notice (two months). On my wedding day, I had the pleasure of having Diana do my hair and makeup at their studio, and she was awesome. She really listened to what I wanted, even when I struggled to explain it technically--and somehow understood my vision perfectly from our chat and my inspiration photos. She walked me through everything, made sure I felt comfortable at every step, and the end result was exactly what I hoped for: soft, natural, and timeless. Even when it rained during our photoshoot, my makeup stayed flawless. I'm grateful for Diana and the entire team for making me feel beautiful and at ease on such an important day.

Through no fault of her own, my eyebrows didn't "take" initially and was probably due to my peeling off the tattoo residue too early.

She conveniently works out of the Connie Gayle offices on the corner of South Beretania and McCully Streets with lots of parking.
