Desiree and her team did the makeup and hair for my wedding. She went out of her way to make my partner and I comfortable and made sure we got the look we wanted. From the trial through the wedding, she was quick to respond to any questions that I had for her. I can't say enough wonderful things about her. Thanks so much for making our day special.

I absolutely love Desiree and her team. They’re very sweet people. However, I was a little upset at how my hair turned out for my wedding and my makeup is not showing up in pictures. My mom I later found out was very upset at the way her make up was done. The airbrush machine wasn’t working so we couldn’t cover my tattoo... we had to use a different type of make up which did get on my white dress. The airbrush should’ve been handled/fixed before my wedding day. My hair was not the style I wanted… at all. And at the end we ran out of time, which is why I think my mom‘s make up wasn’t at its best I specifically asked before the wedding to have two people get there early and that was not accomplished. I really wish the first girl would’ve stayed because she did a fantastic job.

Desiree and her team just did my wedding this past weekend. Incredible work! She and her assistant did my bridal hair and makeup, both the mothers of the bride and groom, all my bridesmaids, and the flower girl. They were a well oiled machine. They set up right there in the our hotel suite, so much more convenient than trying to shuttle everyone to a salon! All of our hair and make up held up through the entire Mass and reception. Go for the airbrushing! I don’t wear makeup often and the airbrush foundation was weightless on my face. Thank you so much, Desiree, for making all of us look stunning on our special day. I highly, highly, highly recommend Desired Make-Up & Hair Artistry!

Desiree and her team were incredible! I had my trial run with her a few weeks before the wedding and she truly spent her time making my vision come to life. She perfected it even further on the wedding day and did my bridesmaids as well. She’s so fun to be around and I truly enjoyed it. I looked absolutely beautiful on my wedding day and I have her and her team to thank for that. Thank you so much for all that you did for us! She was there at my venue early and ready for me. She made everything go so smoothly on my wedding day and truly handles it all. Couldn’t imagine having put my faith into anyone else.

Myself and my bridal party looked and stayed beautiful all night!
I decided to use Desiree' from all the raving reviews and she was amazing. We did a trial that I used for my bridal pictures and I loved how natural the makeup looked and felt! For my big day Desiree suggested we glam it up with just a few tweeks. I loved my Hair and Makeup for my Wedding day and the photos came out perfect! Thanks again to Desiree and her team!

I would recommend Desired MUA to anyone in the New Orleans area. Even before I met her, through all of our emails she was so professional and nice. To have someone put so much effort into how I wanted things, being a bride, meant so much to me. Thank you so much to Desiree and her team. We had some unplanned events happen and through it all they still got myself and my bridal party taken care of. You all were amazing!

They were so professional and outgoing from the trial to my wedding day. Desiree accommodated everything I wanted, made me want to cry when I looked into the mirror but I didn’t want to ruin the beautiful makeup before the wedding started. Booking Desired Make-Up & Hair Artistry will be the best decision you make. Thank you so much!

Amazing! I recommend Desired makeup for all of your wedding makeup needs. Desiree is an artist, impressively punctual, professional, personable, and will honestly listen and cater to your every wish. Her energy and personality are fantastic and exactly what you need on the big day: positive, focused, calm, and fun. She is a consummate professional with a HUGE variety of palates and vast array of makeup in very high quality brands: glow minerals, mac, benefit, stilla, and so many other brands. She made me feel so confident and made my wedding day greater than I could have ever imagined. It was a very hot day in Covington, and between sweating from the heat and emotions running high, she “locked” my makeup in and it stayed pristine the whole night long, even through a second line down to the river. She and her assistant also did hair and makeup for 2 of my bridesmaids and they looked flawless! Just so beautiful. I recommend doing at least one makeup trial with her before the big day, so that preferences can be discussed and experimented in person. Desiree generously travelled to do a trial for me before my engagement party and it was so much fun! We were able to work out all likes and dislikes before the big day, which I so appreciated and was most helpful. Desiree is so talented and passionate about what she does and such pleasure to be around. She gets more than 5 stars in my book! Thank you Desired Makeup

I cannot recommend Desiree enough. Besides the fact that her & her sister, Tiffany, did an amazing job on my makeup & hair, they were a blast to spend time with. On a day that is typically so stressful, they had me completely relaxed. I don't know if they do it on purpose or if its just their personalities, (i'm guessing the latter) but they are so funny they make you forget you're supposed to be stressed. Desiree is such a beautiful person & you will not regret hiring her. She was easy to communicate with, punctual, listened to my concerns about my appearance, and did a fantastic job all around. Tiffany is hilarious! (she nearly made me fall out of the chair laughing at one point). She was in charge of my hair & did a phenomenal job.
Anyway, I can't say enough good things about these two. Seriously, just stop your search & hire them!

Desiree did a wonderful job on my hair and makeup. My husband points out the hair in our wedding photos. She was very warm and personable when I first spoke with her on the phone and in person. Very impressed as it was a early morning start 5:00 am and she was willing to be at my motel at that time. She was quite willing to shift work areas when someone needed in the bathroom . She also steamed my dress , veil and my petticoat for a very reasonable fee . She made me feel very beautiful for my big day and her demeanor has a very calming effect on a nervous bride. I highly recommend her for your bridal needs.

I don't wear a lot of make-up usually so I was scared of how I would look for my wedding day but I loved the air-brush ! It felt very light on. Doing the trial helped put me at ease because we had options and the time to switch things up. The team that arrived was quick to set up and quick to clean up everything . I recommend Desiree and her team.
