To Dearest Donna,


I wanted to take this time to sincerely thank you for our amazing Hair and Makeup for the entire Bridal Party and Mothers.

I have to say our hair and Makeup was done by the best artist on the Gold Coast!!!!!

Your work is truly amazing Donna and you are such a fun person to share the excited nerves with when getting ready. It was great being able to relax, watch movies, eat naughty foods (thanks for the lollies) and have a laugh with before our wedding.

You have a special talent when doing each person’s hair and makeup in making them feel glamorous and special, which is important for every member of the bridal party to feel and not just the Bride.

I will always recommend you Donna for anyone needing a Hair and Makeup Artist for their weddings on the Gold Coast. 

All in all getting married the best thing one can do!

Best Wishes and Hugs

Hi Donna,

Just wanted to thank you again for working your magic on our wedding day!

From my first contact with you, you were completely professional. It can be hard planning a wedding from a distance and given that we couldn’t do a trial until 4 days before the wedding, I had to put my trust in you. Luckily for me, you exceeded all expectations! 

Your studio was beautiful and mum and I had such a pleasant experience at the trial. The hair and makeup that you did was absolutely stunning. I loved it!

On the day, it was even more beautiful! The bridesmaids and my mum all looked gorgeous and we felt amazing.

Thank you so much!!! Hope you like the photos!

Bianca Ridings

P.S. Mum said to mention that the makeup was fantastic and when she cried several times throughout the day,it didn’t run or budge!!!




Hi Donna,

I've been meaning to shoot you off a quick email for ages. Finally all of our visitors have gone and we're starting to settle again - 3 months of constant busy!

Just wanted to thank you again for such a great job with both my make up and hair for my wedding. It was perfect and just suited me, the dress and the day so well. Can't believe we got such great weather - one of the very few we have had in the last few months. We had a blast.

Anyway, here's a few photos of the final product.

Thanks again - you did an amazing job and I will definitely recommend you to everyone :)

Cheers - Alison Allen

(There's a lot I've added - just couldn't really find a couple to show off the hair and make up the best...Nothing like the inventions you have on your website, but very me and just perfect!)




Hey Donna,

Thanks so much for being part of our special day - we had SOOOOO many beautiful comments on our hair and makeup!!! I'm hanging for an excuse to have my hair and makeup done again!!!! 

Hope you have a fabulous 2011 - no doubt you will - you are awesome!!

Will send a few pics through one at atime :)

Take care xx

Hey Donna

I want to thank you so much for your help in making my day so special.  Your work was amazing and the girls looked stunning thanks to your talent.  You even created a miracle with me!  Not only did we receive a tonne of compliments on the day but many have commented on how fantastic our makeup was based on photos of the event.  The colours you picked were spot on and I could not have chosen anything better.  You are also great fun to be around which made our preparation time even more enjoyable.

Thanks again and I will be sure to pass on your details to others.

Wishing you the best.

A standard day of work almost always starts in the Hair and Makeup chair, often not knowing what the creative team has in store for you. It's never a concern though when Donna isin charge! You can guarantee that even after a 10 hour day and multiple clothing changes, and quite possibly not even glancing in the mirror until the drive home, your makeup will be flawless and you will not have a hair out of place. I can't tell you how reassuring it is to be able to have that trust in a makeup artist. Every time. It certainly makes my job easier! You're a starDonna xx

Dear Donna

Over a year down the track with my wedding photos on display people are still commenting how beautiful my hair and makeup was. They assumed as I am a makeup artist I did it myself and then Imention Donna Sullivan.....

Donna you are truly talented and inspiring! Your work is flawless and my wedding photos are timeless because ofyou.

The convenience of having you do all thehair and all the makeup for me and my bridesmaids in my suite made my wedding day morning stress free!

Your makeup products are beautiful and my makeup lasted all night and I still had fab hair in the morning to head off to my honey moon!

Thanks again for being a pat of my day and when your famous I will be able to say yes... "The" Donna Sullivan created my look for my wedding day. I think your a star!

Dear Donna

 


Thank you for the flawless hair and make up you did for myself and my bridesmaids, mother and flower girls on my wedding day. You managed to re-create perfectly the hair style that I was after. Further, our make-up was classic and elegant, and lasted past midnight! Thank you for making everything so easy and for calming my nerves on the morning of the wedding. You are hands down the best hair and make-up artist in Queensland!

Love, Melinda.

Dear Donna,

Dear Donna,

I just got back my portfolio shots and they look gorgeous! My hair and makeup were exactly the funky and slightly edgy look I had in mind for the shoot, and you did it so quickly! Also, I went on a date straight after these shots were taken and lets just say that my date was very impressed! Thanks again Donna. Your studio is absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to come back for another portfolio session soon.

Hi Donna

You did my makeup on the 15th of May for me to attend the Australian Bridal

Industry Association Awards night.


Being in the bridal industry I realise how important the quality of work and

the quality of customer service is and you blew me out of the water.  You

were great to deal with plus as soon as I stepped through the doors and saw

people I knew they were all so amazed and couldn't quiet believe it was me.

I handed out your flyer a number of times and have put the remainder in my

shop in Toowoomba.

 

I truly felt stunning that night, between the amazing hair style and the

stunning make-up I truly felt special-so a HUGE thanks to you!

 

And I definitely will keep in touch, as I mentioned to my family your

services and we are definitely going to be using you again for our family

portraits,  so once again thankyou so much, and I look forward to dealing

with you again!

Hi Donna,

I would like to say a massive thank you to you for making my wedding day so awesome!!!

Everyone at the wedding commented on how beautiful our hair was and how awesome our make up looked.

I am very thankful that you were able to create the look that I dreamed of.

I will be sure to send you some of the professional photo's. Thankyou, you are awesome!!!!!

Kimberley Tak


Dear Donna,

From the moment I booked in with you, Iknew I had absolutely nothing to worry about!  The trial was amazing and then you certainly delivered on the day!!

Your willingness to travel and be an hour and half from the coast at 3:30am just blew my mind - how you found us, I will never know.  When I saw your lights coming up the road, all of my anxiety and anxiousness subsided as I knew you would work your magic and everything else from that point on would be okay!

To say thank you does not even come close for what you did to make our wedding day so special!! Our hair and makeup was perfect and exactly what I had wanted!!  You made us laugh and feel so special!  All of us girls can not thank you enough!

I had a comment on the day from the minister that he had never seen my eyes look so 'soulful' -you did that!!  Thank you... 

I can't wait for the next time....

Thank you Donna!!!

Hey Donna, a massive thank you forthe beautiful make up on saturday!! Everyone was raving about "the eyes" haha..xx

Tamika Keioskie


Hi Donna,


I really wanted to write a small thank you for doing such an incredible job on hair and make-up for my wedding! All of the bridesmaids and soooo many of the guests just couldn't believe how gorgeous the make-up was. Everyone kept mentioning my "eyes"! So thanks!!! The hair was exactly how I wanted it and you did it all with such ease and a big smile on your face!!

I have already recommended you to a couple of girl friends as I truly believe there is no-one better on the coast interms of hair & make-up than you!

Good luck with everything!

Chelsea Frazer


 

Dear Donna,

Wow! I was really impressed by the way you interpreted my ideas for my wedding hair and makeup. You really captured the elegance and drama I was after, and your eyeshadow colour suggestions were fantastic. I felt so like a princess! My husband says Iwas so beautiful and took his breath away.

You also made the bridesmaid's hairstyle work so well for each girl (and they all have such different hair),and gave them such gorgeous makeup. I've had lots of guests say how absolutely amazing the girls looked, they couldn't believe it! You also were so good with my flower girl – I loved the way she still looked like the sweet little 4-year-old she is!

Thank you so much for being part of our special day!

Sarah Sweet.

 

Hi Donna,

Thank you for doing my hair and makeup for me on the most special day of my life and for being my bridesmaid. I loved the makeup just as much as I have loved it for all of the many other occasions you have done it for.

As for my hair, there is no one who can do hair quite like Donna Sullivan and I mean that. I won’t be getting my hair and makeup done for any occasion unless it’s by you.

'Morning Donna, please let me thankyou for the contribution to Discerning Bride Magazine in 2010. As an editor of a high-end publication it's extremely important I work with only the best and your work and contribution to the magazine is certainly a reflection of this. I must thank you for getting up at 3am in the morning to be apart of my yearly hair feature and I was so thrilled with your work that I was proud to have your work open the feature.

 

Discerning Bride Magazine has some exciting projects coming up this year and I feel confident leading publication knowing I have you on board'

Hi Donna,

 

I seriously can’t thank you enough for doing such an AMAZING job… We all looked and felt like princesses. I’ve always wanted to be Kate Middleton for the day and you made me just that!

 

Thank you so much, I will certainly be telling every bride I know about what a creative, professional and talented Hair and Makeup artist you are! You really are INCREDIBLE Donna…

 

Lots of Love

 

Carly Armitage



Hi Donna,

I can't thank you enough for the beautiful job you did on our makeup, the girls and I had so many comments on how good it looked. I'm sure you could tell I wasn't a huge fan of wearing makeup when I first met with you but the makeup you did for the wedding was so soft and pretty, I absolutely loved it. I'll definitely be using you again x   

Fiona Prince



If you are considering using Donna Sullivan as your hair and makeup artist for your Wedding day or big event, I can assure you, you have found the cream of the crop right here.

Her work exudes an attention to detail and creativity that is really a cut above the rest. Ask yourself how many times have you seen a wedding photo and thought that it's impact was really let down by the hair and lack of makeup? This is certainly not the case with Donna's work. Our hair and makeup was immaculate and stayed immaculate through torrential rain, many hugs, dancing and tears on our wedding day. The true testament is in the photos, the evidence that shows having Donna's expertise can make your photos look a million dollars!

From the very first trial at Donna's gorgeous studio, to the chaos of the big day, you will always find Donna to be so calm and relaxed and a pleasure to have around. She is always prompt and professional and worth every cent.

So from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much Donna for making me feel and look like a Princess, my mother a Queen and my girls in waiting Gorgeous Beauties.

You have added an extra special element to what was the most magical day of your lives.

Hope to work with you again at the next family wedding.

Best regards,

Jessica Mead xx

 

Dearest Donna,

I just wanted to say thank you again for doing the most divine job on my hair in particularly (it was Amaze!) and for making my darling mum and bridesmaids look even more beautiful than what they already are! You have been so fantastic to deal with - you have such a great, fun personality and you held yourself so professionally from the trial right through until the big day. I will be recommending you wherever and whenever I can.

Your a gem!

Carly Bathelmess xx

Dear Donna,

Thank you for being such a wonderful hair and a make-up artist. You made me feel like a princess on my wedding day and my new husband loved the look you gave me.

Many kind regards

Melissa Harich

 

Dear Donna,

Thank you for your amazing work, you have a special gift in making bride’s feel that they are the most beautiful bride ever, you have a magical talent of creating beauty and to all girls who don’t like how they look in photo’s, let Donna weave a little magic on your special day.

Hi Donna,

I just wanted to write and let you know how happy I was with the bridal hair and makeup you did for my wedding it was so perfect and I had so many compliments on the wedding day.

My bridesmaids were also very impressed and have already been recommending you to their friends.

It is so good to be able to deal with someone who is totally professional from beginning to end which makes planning a wedding so much easier.

I loved having you come to the Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast to do makeup and hair for us on the wedding day which made it very stress free being able to be in one spot with all my bridesmaids.

The makeup you did for my mum was absolutely beautiful and she was very happy with how she looked.

I will be recommending you to everyone. I can’t wait to get my makeup and hair done by you again, I will definitely be calling you on my next special occasion and thank you again for recommending Photographic Art for my beautiful wedding photos.

Laura Kendall.

Hi Donna


Thank you so much for the amazing hair and make up on my wedding day!  Your work is absolutely flawless. You were bright and cheery (even at 5:30am!!) and we had such a fun morning. We all felt so glamorous and received so many comments on how amazing we all looked and it is all thanks to you!  Even when we were having our photos at the very windy Hastings Point I was a little worried about how our hair was going to hold up but I didn't need to worry as it didn't move an inch.  It looked just as perfect as when it was first done in the morning!  You are truly talented and I will highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for the best hair and make up artist!!

Kind Regards

Kristin Hallam xx

Hi Donna!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU so much for making me feel like an absolute stunner! Pat still can't get over how beautiful I was & after all that he LOVED my hair.. lol.. I'm already trying to think of a reason why I can come down & get my makeup done again as I've truly never felt so amazing considering I don't often wear makeup.. I loved your personality from the start over the phone than when I met you on the day you were amazing & you made me feel so comfortable.. I had so many compliments on my hair & makeup it was unreal.

All the very best Donna & I WILL be seeing you again :-)

Kerrie Croghan


Hey Donna,

Thank you so much for adding yours pecial touch to our day!! I loved my hair and make up and my bridesmaids, mum and mother in law all looked amazing. I cant begin to tell you how many compliments we received. Your make up colours and choices in hair styles suited the girls and their dresses perfectly. I know I will continue to recommend you to other brides again and again.

Thanks again Donna!

Luv Amy Kirkham

Dear Donna,

Every bride wants to look perfect on their wedding day and thanks to you I did. I could not imagine having a better hair and makeup artist at my wedding. Booking you was definitely the best choice I made. Your amazing skill and speed impressed us all. Every person that looks at my pictures asks for your details. You are also such a wonderful person to have around on the day. My wedding threw some obstacles your way and you handled them exceptionally well. I also knew that by booking you I had nothing to worry about. I knew my bridesmaids and my hair and makeup would look amazing, be finished in time for photos and last all day. In my opinion you are clearly the best on the Gold Coast and probably in Queensland!

I will make sure all my friends book you.

Debbie Mitchell xxx


Hi Donna 

I just wanted to thank you so very much for doing our make up on our wedding day. You made me feel very relaxed and calm on the day you are a fun person to be around and very professional. My bridesmaids looked beautiful and you made me feel like a princess on my special day, I couldn't have been happier in the job you did. My mum was very impressed she looked and felt amazing. I got compliments all day on how great my make up was it truly looked gorgeous. The funny thing was people were asking me if I had your business card on me. I will definitely be recommending you to my friends. You were very professional from the day we met till the end. You have a special talent Donna and when another special day comes up I will be booking you again.. I do want to say my mum and I cried several times during the day and my make up was perfect all the way up till we went to bed, we were very impressed. We also purchased your Donna Sullivan lipgloss it was a gorgeous colour and lasted forever.


Thanks again Donna talk soon
