    Alaina made me feel absolutely beautiful, confident, and completely myself, which is exactly what I had hoped for. I received so many compliments, and I truly felt like the best version of myself. Her talent, calm energy, and attention to detail made the entire experience so enjoyable and stress-free. The makeup lasted perfectly all day and looked amazing both in person and in the photos/video. I’m so grateful for her time, care, and artistry. Alaina, thank you for helping to make the day so special. I couldn’t have imagined it without you!

    I could not recommend Alaina more! She was an absolute dream to work with since I decided to book with her. She is professional, yet so friendly and personable. She was so kind during my trial and made me feel very comfortable. On my wedding day, she made my vision come to life! She listened to all of my bridesmaids and made them all look gorgeous as well. I would recommend her over and over again!

    AKBeautiful was a pleasure to work with throughout my wedding process. They communicated with me every step of the way and were very attentive to all of my questions. The quality of their work was great, as they did an excellent job delivering exactly what I asked for. On the day of my wedding, AKBeautiful made me feel special and beautiful, which was so important to me. I would highly recommend their services to any couple planning their big day.

    From our very first interaction, AKBeautiful demonstrated a precise, informative, and understanding communication style that put me at ease throughout the wedding planning process. Her work was truly outstanding - the makeup trial the day prior and the looks she created for my rehearsal dinner, my wedding day, and my bridal party/ mother and mother in law’s were all absolutely stunning. Alaina's techniques are clean and the final results resembled effortless beauty. We all absolutely loved our makeup on the wedding day! I would give AKBeautiful a 10/10 recommendation without hesitation.
