When The New You airs we will share footage with you so you can check out the show (and amazing makeup).
Congratulations to Donna and we are looking forward to your success in NYC for Bridal Fashion Week.
Daily I work with photos of gorgeous brides, bridesmaids, models and more. I review each shot as way to help me determine a perfect look for their wedding day, pageant, photo shoot or walk down the runway! These photos also build my portfolio of work and I spend many hours with my team, reviewing final candidates of which I am very proud of. You can view my portfolio on my website at http://www.makeoverartistry.com
Recently I had to select a photo of myself to update my professional photo on my website, LinkedIn and other locations. My team was having trouble narrowing so we decided to set up a poll to help us decide. We reached out to my clients, friends and family connected to Makeover Artistry on social media. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive (thanks) and also very helpful.
After the poll completed, we have calculated the results and have decided on OPTION C.
Thanks to all my kind social media friends, clients and loved ones who helped me decide and my gratitude goes out to the fine photography at Options Photography: http://www.optionsphotography.com/
Please see my updated photo and read about our wonderful team, too! https://www.makeoverartistry.com/about/

Bridesmaid: Sara
Donna recently provided make up and hair services for a friend’s wedding I was in. The services were provided in the comfort of the bride’s home. Donna did a great job with all of our make-up individualizing everyone’s look by playing up their best features all while looking classy, elegant, and cohesive as a bridal party. All makeup came out great, photographed amazingly, and stayed on all night – it even lasted through some rain that we all got caught in during the ceremony and hours of dancing!
The hair services provided were amazing as well; all the girls had different hair types, lengths, colors, etc. Christina, who worked on our hair, knew exactly what do to make each girls’ up-do last through the entire day/night. She could transform a style/look from a picture and make it come to life – she even threw in some unique accents ( braids, twists, etc) if asked.
Overall the experience I had with Makeover Artistry was fabulous and I would recommend these services to anyone looking for hair/make-up for special occasions. The price is right and comparable (if not less) than what you would pay at a salon, however this was one of the best make-up/hair experiences that I have had done for a wedding and no salon I have ever been to has done this well (I have been in my fair share of wedding the past few years). Donna and Christina were fun, knew what they were doing, and did a great job!
Thank you for the wonderful review and we can’t wait for the gorgeous photos!

We are so lucky to have such an incredible team working at Makeover Artistry!
This week we spotlight one of our very own, talented … makeup artist to the stars
– Lisette Bugeja
Her interview below:
MA: Lisette, you are so accomplished in the field, when did you actually begin your career in make-up?
Lisette: I started my career with my first box of crayons! Creating beauty with my hands came naturally to me, and I got lost in it. As I grew, sitting on the bathroom counter watching my mother do her make up, I was mesmerized at the transformation, not that she wasn’t beautiful, but at the power of becoming a glamorous version of herself. I was hooked!
MA: What has your career been like, what places has it taken you?
Lisette: My career has been one full of very diverse and exciting work. I have worked with Elite models and traveled for the Elite Model of the Year contests, which took me to Spain, South of France and Korea.
I also went onto work in music, touring with Paul McCartney, music videos, theatre … including head makeup artist for “The King and I”, “AIDA”, “The Wizard of Oz”.
I eventually parked my make-up case at NBC, working on Saturday Night Live, TODAY in New York, ACCESS HOLLYWOOD, and numerous other projects.
MA: We are happy to have you on the team at Makeover Artistry bringing your expertise to our clients:
Lisette: I am flattered to be a part of Donna’s team. Her enthusiasm and passion for this business is immediately felt.
