I can’t thank Ulyana enough for making me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! I actually changed my makeup artist just a month before the big day because my previous one didn’t capture the look I envisioned—and it was the best decision ever. Ulyana listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. My makeup lasted all night through happy tears, endless hugs, and nonstop dancing. Truly an artist with a heart!

---- 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.

Cedrian is a phenomenal HMUA. She did my hair and makeup for my wedding in Dallas and again for our vow renewal ten years later in New Orleans, and I could not have been happier with the results! When there was a miscommunication with a bridesmaid, she was quick to clear it up and was accommodating and professional. She’s also just really fun to work with, lol. If you’re looking for your sign to hire her, DO IT! She’s been booked out pretty far in advance both times which should tell you something!

Melissa was my hair and makeup stylist for my October 2025 wedding, and I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about her. From the moment she arrived, she brought such calm, positive energy—it felt like having one of my closest friends by my side. She’s so easy to talk to and truly made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself. Melissa went above and beyond in every possible way. She didn’t just make sure my hair and makeup were perfect—she helped me into the car while it was raining, fluffed my dress train right before I walked down the aisle, and even took my furbaby for a quick walk before she left so we didn’t have to worry. Those thoughtful little things meant so much to me and my family. My mom and grandma couldn’t stop raving about how lovely she was! Having Melissa there on my wedding day was such a blessing. She’s professional, kind, and genuinely cares about her brides—it shows in everything she does. I’ll absolutely be hiring her again and recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will make you look and feel amazing inside and out. One more tip: Definitely do a bridal trial with her! I loved my look at the trial, but somehow on the wedding day she made me feel even more stunning. She’s truly the best.
