Hi! My name is Danny, and I am a professional makeup artist with over 15 years of experience in the industry. I have a passion for creating beautiful and unique looks, and I have honed my craft in various areas, including bridal, editorial, and New York Fashion Week. Throughout my career, I have worked with a diverse range of clients and am well-versed in tailoring my skills to meet their specific needs. Whether it's for a classic bridal look or a bold and avant-garde editorial spread, I have the expertise to make it happen.

Awarded Best of Zola
I absolutely loved working with Danny at Fine Line Artistry for my makeup, and Lia for my hair! I was looking for a hair and makeup artist that had the skill you would get for editorial, but still was able to work with me to make sure I looked like an elevated, bridal version of myself, and Danny was it! He is such a kind and warm person, was so communicative throughout the entire process, and really helped me figure out what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like. The trail I did with him and Lia before my wedding day was basically almost perfect to begin with, despite the fact that I came in with a vague idea of what I wanted and a couple of inspo photos that I struggled to explain. On the wedding day, Danny and Lia came to our hotel room and were incredibly fast and professional, in addition to doing an absolutely amazing job and working with very different hair and makeup styles between the bridal party. I essentially didn’t sleep the night before because I was so excited, but you couldn’t tell at all in photos because they did such a phenomenal job! Plus, the makeup and hair stayed incredibly well all night for me and my bridesmaids. Fine Line Artistry is an amazing place to get your hair and makeup for your wedding in Boston!

I am so incredibly happy that we had Paige with Prestige Beauty Artistry with us our hair and makeup for our wedding. She was so communicative and helped me make my vision come true! Because we were planning from across the country, I did not have time for a trial run for my hair and makeup. Regardless, Paige was able to do do both perfectly with a few photos as references! Myself, two bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law don't normally wear makeup and were looking for a natural style and it turned our perfectly! My hair and makeup were flawless all night without having to fuss or do any touchups. Additionally, the timeline Paige made for us worked perfectly and our morning went as smoothly as it could go!

It’s been one month since our wedding and every day I go back to how loved and supported I felt on the best day of my life. Sara was a huge part of that. Sara and her team made me look and feel more beautiful than I have ever felt, and most importantly, I was comfortable and stress-free throughout the entire process. Sara is an absolute master at her craft, and incredibly professional every step of the way, but it was her kindness and openness that I valued the most. From our initial phone call, to the trial, to the day of, Sara had me laughing and chatting as if we had known each other for years. I felt comfortable sharing my bridal anxieties with her, and trusted that she was going to make my girls and I look our best on the big day. Because of Sara and her team, getting ready for the wedding was one of the most fun parts of the day. It was relaxed, stress-free, and fun, and I was sad to see Sara and her team go at the end of it, because I just wanted to hang out with them all day! One specific thing that sets Sara apart was her ability to work with every type of client. My mom does not wear makeup nor does she feel comfortable getting all dolled up, but Sara handled that with a pro, not making my mom feel any pressure with how she looked. She did such a masterful job that I even caught my mom checking herself out in the mirror a few times throughout the night, which never happens! Hiring Sara will be the best decision of your wedding planning experience - I cannot recommend her enough!!

Cannot say enough about Jill and her team. After having Jill do my makeup for a wedding when I was a bridesmaid, I just knew I needed to book her as soon as it was my turn to be the bride. Not only did Jill and Channing make everyone look and feel beautiful on my wedding day, but they also brought a calming and fun vibe. Jill takes the human service part of her job very seriously; knowing that it's about more than the makeup. Whether you are able to score Jill herself or not, you can also trust that every member of her team is extremely talented, kind, and professional. My mom decided to do a trial with Channing before the big day so that she could know exactly what she wanted. She called me right after the trial saying how amazing Channing was. Jill and Channing arrived early, and we were actually ahead of our overall timeline for the day. Unheard of! My mother, MIL, and bridesmaids all loved their makeup.

Freelance Bridal MUA. Co-Owner of a beauty studio located in Hampstead, NH directly across from the Granite Rose and within 15 minutes of Hyla Brook Estate, Birch Woods, Zorvinos, La Belle and the Castleton!

Seriously the best makeup artist of all time. I am so incredibly happy that Maekalah did our makeup for my June 2025 wedding at Lareau Farm Inn in Vermont. From the trial to the wedding day, she crushed it and somehow made everything even better than the inspo pics I shared. She is truly the best person to spend a wedding morning with. Her funny and sweet commentary kept me calm when it would have been so easy to stress. My trial was SO good that one of my bridesmaids, who wasn’t planning on getting makeup, changed her mind and booked with her. Then on the wedding day, my makeup was obviously fire, so another bridesmaid decided on the spot to get her makeup done too. Maekalah was so flexible and made it all work seamlessly. She made each of us feel gorgeous, confident, and so special. On top of being insanely talented, I feel like we became real friends through the process, which made the experience even more fun. Love, love, LOVE her. Thank you Maekalah, you are truly the best New England makeup artist and I cannot recommend you enough!

I’m Beth McCusker, I’m a wife and mom of three amazing kids, and I’m also a Hairdresser/makeup artist enthusiast! Besides being a mom I am absolutely in love with being a Bridal Hairstylist and makeup artist. It is my passion and not just a hobby. I take my work very personally and I am extremely detail oriented. I strive to provide the best experience for all my brides and their tribes. I hope to be part of your big day and let me help beautify you.

Beth was fantastic as the hair stylist for my wedding! From my first outreach to her, through trials, and changes I decided to make day of for my hair, Beth was so kind and so easy to work with! She is so sweet, listens to the vision, pays attention to the details, and is so comfortable/fun to be around. Scheduling trials with her was so easy and she was very proactive in checking in as my wedding approached and setting up a schedule to make the morning go so smooth. Everyone’s hair came out beautifully and stayed in place all night long, which was huge for me as I have thick/heavy hair and my bridal bun was still perfect. I am soo glad I found Beth for my wedding and would absolutely recommend her to anyone!

STUDIO x SARAH was an absolute pleasure to work with for my wedding day beauty!! From the very start, her communication was prompt, and she brought such great energy to every interaction! She was incredibly flexible, taking the time to do a second makeup trial with me when I wasn't quite sure about the right look. Her attention to detail and ability to turn my inspiration into reality was truly impressive. She is a great listener, very receptive to my feedback, and made wonderful suggestions to achieve my desired look, enhancing my hair with creative ideas. Beyond her talent, Sarah also has an authentic, compassionate energy on the wedding day, noticing when I needed a moment and discreetly getting my Maid of Honor to help me settle. I felt so taken care of, and my hair and makeup turned out beautifully. I wanted an elegant modern make up look, and an updo for my long curly hair that was somewhere between Elizabeth Bennet in Pride and Prejudice and a Greek goddess. She NAILED IT. BOOK BOOK BOOK! This is who you want doing your hair and make up!
