---- MAKEUP SERVICES ONLY -- --- INQUIRIES BY WEBSITE ONLY --- ---- PRICE QUOTES AND INFORMATION CANNOT BE SENT THROUGH ZOLA ---- Ellevated Beauty is led by Elle DuVall — an 18-year beauty professional, Bridal Expert, Aesthetician, and Brow Expert specializing in natural glam to full glam. Known for refined artistry, calm energy, and a highly personalized bridal experience. ----------

From the very first private message on Instagram, Ellevated Beauty's communication was exceptional. We seamlessly finalized all the contracts and details via email, and they were flexible when I needed to adjust the timeline and location. The email contracts were clear and concise, providing me with peace of mind. Ellevated Beauty's work was truly astounding - I was blown away by how natural and perfect my girls looked. I felt like the airbrushed version of myself, with my features elevated in the most effortless way. My makeup was the final touch that perfectly captured the old Hollywood charm I was going for, and the cat eye shadows were a spot-on interpretation of my signature style. Ellevated Beauty was punctual and efficient, working through all of my girls in an orderly fashion even when some were running late. They listened closely to all of our wants and desires, making us feel truly special and cared for throughout the process. I cannot recommend Ellevated Beauty highly enough for their outstanding service, talent, and professionalism on our wedding day. Most of this was written by the AI generated review thing but it did a good job and I agree with it all. I struggled with the decision to get makeup done by a professional but I have zero regrets and would like to take classes from her now if that were even an option. I'm the worst for being able to communicate what I'm going for, I showed the poor girl an AI-generated image as an example; she was understanding. I knew my look was something hard to explain but she nailed it. I felt perfect, the makeup showed up in photos, and it felt so light, I hardly knew I was wearing anything.

I’m Bailee, the artist behind Coastal Editorial Glam™ and the signature Bailee Wave + Sculpt™. Brides come to me for hair and makeup with intention behind every line — structured where it needs strength, soft where it needs ease, and built with the kind of precision you’d expect backstage, not in a crowded bridal suite. My work sits in that space between coastal air and editorial clarity: skin that looks refined without effort, and waves that hold their silhouette long after the first look.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently had a bridal hair trial with Bailee and couldn’t be happier with the results! I requested Hollywood waves, and she executed them perfectly—better than I ever imagined. Bailee is not only talented but also sweet, easy to talk to, and very personable. She took her time to ensure everything was just right, yet the entire process only took about two hours. She also added a volume weft, which really elevated the style I wanted. I highly recommend Bailee for your wedding hair needs!

She somehow managed to make each person feel comfortable and seen, while staying right on schedule with incredible professionalism. Her work was natural, flattering, and elevated—perfect for high-end branding photos. I honestly didn’t think the male doctors would care much about hair and makeup, but even they were impressed and loved the results. Laura brought great energy, calm focus, and exceptional talent to a high-pressure day. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with her again.

Awarded Best of Zola
Last month I got married at The Sanctuary on Roosevelt Island, and I had the pleasure of working with Jackie Fanara, an artist from Melissa’s makeup team. She was an absolute joy to work with from start to finish- it felt like hanging out with an old friend! She is so incredible at making her clients feel comfortable, listened to, and pampered. She went completely above and beyond- when the bridal party was finishing photos outside and it started pouring, she got SOAKED while shielding my bridesmaids and making sure everyone was able to get safely from the park to the vehicles to inside the venue. She literally used herself as a shield and then proceeded to to help everyone get touch ups while they dried off- by the time the ceremony had started, no one would have had an idea that everyone had been rained on. By the end of the day, she was everyone’s best friend. She was an angel that day and I am so thankful she was my artist. If you’re looking for an incredibly talented artist who will charm you with her positive attitude and incredible sense of humor- Jackie is your gal. Special shout out to Tressa, who did the makeup for my mother in law and few other people’s on my husband’s side of the family- they all loved her and said that she made them feel so special! And of course, shout out to Melissa for being lovely and communicative while setting me up with her team!
