I had Elina, the owner of Bellelina, do the make up for myself and my wedding party, and she did a phenomenal job! I was very concerned about looking like a cookie cutter Charleston bride, and had a hard time finding a MUA that I liked, but Elina was amazing at getting exactly the look I was after. She was very responsive and easy to work and was always timely and professional. She worked well off of pictures and was happy to discuss ideas, change things, and take feedback. No matter what look you are going for she can do it beautifully and you will leave happy and stunning!

She has a super cute centrally located studio, that I went to for my trial, it she also travels well and sets up quickly, like she did for my day of. Everyone thought she did a wonderful job! I would hire her again in a second!

Also, she is a master at brows! She tinted my lashes and brows and did a perfect job! I am going back to her any time I am in Charleston. I highly recommend a lash tint for anyone who wants to wake up with no makeup and feel gorgeous!

I've been getting facials from Elina since I moved to Charleston 3 years ago. She keeps my skin clear, healthy and glowing. And it's always a pleasure spending time with her. As soon as I booked a wedding date, I told her to put my name down. I trust her with every detail of my skincare. She does beautiful airbrush makeup with the most natural (look and feel) fake lashes. She individually puts them on in sections. I also had her do my spray tan for my bridal shower and wedding. It was actually the first time I had it done and I loved how it came out! She has the best attention to detail and is incredibly reliable and committed to her clients! She did my entire bridal party (11 people) plus me, all by herself on my wedding day. And every single person loved how their makeup came out. After dancing our night away, our makeup still looked fresh!

LOVED HER! Elina is AMAZINGLY talented, incredibly personable and bubbly, and does an amazing job listening to your concerns and tailoring what she does to your personal desires and facial structure. I showed her inspiration pictures and pictures of when I had my makeup done and didn't like it and what she came up with blew me away. She actually did each eye differently so that I could choose, which was amazingly helpful. She is so so nice and all of my bridesmaids not only looked amazing, but felt gorgeous and confident, too - which is such a huge deal! I wish she could do my makeup everyday!! Incredible artists, amazing person, definitely book her now!
