Introduction

I am a makeup artist based in Williamsburg. I travel and service clients from various backgrounds for different events. Im familiar with the Hampton Roads area since I used to live there & Richmond since I went to VCU. Clients trust me with their special occasions; weddings, photoshoots, birthdays, anniversaries, etc. I specialize in soft glams that enhance the client’s natural beauty while making them feel like the best version of themselves. I aspire to make every single client feel valued, heard and beautiful, and I enjoy being apart of such important life events.

Her creativity, precision, and ability to highlight natural beauty are truly exceptional. Ayana crafted a flawless look that perfectly aligned with my vision, and her professionalism and calm demeanor made the entire experience enjoyable and stress-free. Every detail was thoughtfully executed, and the final result was stunning! If you’re searching for a makeup artist who is talented, passionate, and dedicated to perfection, Ayana is the one. I look forward to working with her again!

I reached out to Ayana because my family had a wedding to attend. She was so sweet helped me decide on a beautiful look. I had a concern with my 13 year old daughter getting makeup but Ayana assured me she will give her age appropriate glam. She delivered!! I felt amazing and my daughter looked gorgeous!! She was so excited when she saw her final look. If you’re looking for someone very accommodating & a great price on glam please don’t hesitate to book Ayana!

Details: Wedding • 13 - 17 years old • 26 - 44 years old • I'm flexible • False lashes • 2 people • My home, venue, etc.

Ayana was very kind & professional. She did my makeup for an event with my husband. She was very flexible & allowed me to schedule my appointment early in order to make the event in time. I appreciate the fact that she was very sanitary, paid attention to detail & was mindful of the time. Since then I’ve booked several appointments with Ayana & the quality of her work never waivers.
