Dawn Johnson made me look better than I ever thought I could look with very little guidance and no trial (I missed my appointment). Because I'd had some cancellations, I had to hire Makeup Couture and Dawn at the last minute. I went on trust, that she knew exactly what she was doing and she far surpassed my expectations, showed up on time, was very professional, and made me look stunning on my wedding day. I only told her I wanted to look glamorous, like Old Hollywood. That's very broad and nonspecific, but she got it. What I got was elegant makeup and contouring that emphasized my best features, but what my guests saw was the features not the makeup. My eyes looked large, dark and glossy, like photos of Hollywood actresses that I've envied. She put double false eyelashes on me, but I didn't feel them after a few minutes and they were so realistic nobody realized they were false. The foundation was flawless, youthful and dewy with beautiful highlighting and contouring. I'm plus sized but her makeup actually made my face look thinner. I showed up with clean, dry hair and she gave me an elegant, half-up do that complimented my bridal hat and lasted the entire ceremony. As previously stated, this all happened on the fly, with very little preparation. I wouldn't recommend going without a trial run for any other bride (it's too rattling to the nerves), but it's nice to know there's a professional out there who will step up when she has to. And the price was totally reasonable too! #completelypleased

Dawn saved the day! After needing to cancel my services with another vendor at the last minute, I found MakeupCouture on WeddingWire and contacted Dawn. Her hair and makeup services were absolutely perfect for our wedding day in Atlanta. She came to our home and did bridal and bridal party hair and makeup that everyone raved about, and was so nice throughout the entire process, including our trials. She was competitively priced, communicated with me throughout the entire process, and was always professional. I've never felt more beautiful than I did that day, and Dawn played a huge role in helping me feel like I was the prettiest bride ever! The compliments on her work were overwhelming, and I would definitely recommend her services to anyone that asked.

Dawn did my hair and makeup and the hair for my four bridesmaids. Throughout the entire process, she was super flexible ( I had to change my services) and helpful in answering all my questions. The morning of the wedding she had a calming and professional attitude. This made the hectic stressful morning just that much easier. My bridesmaids hair looked amazing and I felt and looked absolutely beautiful! I would recommend Dawn to anyone and everyone. She is amazing!

Makeup Couture is fabulous to work with from a consultant and a bride. My clients love Dawn and all of her associates! The airbrush is a wonderful alternative for bride's that are not accustomed to wearing heavy makeup. Dawn always adds in a buffer to ensure that the client is ready on time for her wedding day pictures to begin. It is a pleasure to work with Makeup Couture on every occasion!
