Makeup by Ilona Orsborn

Having Ilona do my makeup for my maternity shoot was the best decision I made. The pictures turned out stunning, all thanks to her incredible makeup artistry! I highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a skilled and efficient makeup artist. Ilona truly knows her craft!

On June 13, 2020, amidst the pandemic, my wedding took place. However, my hired makeup artist and hairstylist backed out due to their uncertainty regarding the regulations. In a tight spot, a friend recommended Ilona, a makeup artist she had been researching, and I took it as a sign that one closed door leads to an opening of another. Ilona and her team made me feel and look amazing beyond my expectations, recommending an excellent hairstylist as well. I wish I could have Ilona as my personal makeup artist. The entire bridal party felt like royalty thanks to her exceptional work. Heartfelt gratitude for making this day a memorable and treasured experience. ❤️

Initially, I reached out to Ilona for my daughter's prom makeup, but due to scheduling conflicts, we couldn't make it work. Nonetheless, I was thoroughly impressed by her skill and saved her number for future reference. When it came time to schedule senior ball photos, plans changed, and they opted for an evening out instead. As a result, I decided to book a tutorial to learn how to create a "smoky eye." Despite having trouble achieving the desired look with other makeup artists, including a regional Christian Dior artist who only pushed unnecessary products, I showed Ilona photos of what I had in mind and left the rest to her. She exceeded my expectations with her exceptional eye contouring and highlighting techniques, leaving me feeling absolutely stunning afterward. While I did not have any specific plans or dates to attend, I did it for myself and intend to book Ilona for many more lessons in achieving various exotic looks. Her skillset is incredible, so I encourage others to book her services for themselves and revel in the confidence boost that follows. Thank you, Ilona, for your amazing work!

It's my belief that Ilona possesses a true talent. Though I've never had an affinity for wearing makeup, she seems to approach it with ease and transformed me into a stunning vision for an event. The makeup lasted until I removed it at 2am. Ilona has a way of enhancing your natural features, making you look like a more beautiful version of yourself. 😊

Ilona is an exceptionally skilled and proficient makeup artist, who leaves you feeling self-assured and attractive! Her talent is immeasurable, and I've had the pleasure of collaborating with her on several occasions; each time, I am left astonished. Whether you desire full glam makeup or a subtle enhancement of your natural features, Ilona possesses the aptitude to deliver both flawlessly! One aspect I appreciate is that she manages to maintain my freckles, which I love!
