Your Calm Presence on the Biggest Day of Your Life.
Hi!! I'm Dana, the main artist behind Dana Hassett Makeup Artistry. I specialize in soft glam for brides who still want to look like themselves, just elevated and never overdone. My love for beauty began at a young age, but became deeply personal during my adolescent years when I struggled with severe acne. During that time makeup became something more than just fun - it became a way for me to regain confidence and feel beautiful in my skin. That experience shaped how I approach makeup and servicing clients today. I understand how powerful it can be when you can feel comfortable, confident and truly like yourself. I began my professional makeup career in 2017 and found my passion for bridal artistry in 2020. There is something incredibly special about being a part of such an emotional and meaningful milestone, and I truly value the trust my brides place in me.
My goal is to create an atmosphere where you can soak in every moment while feeling completely taken care of. Being chosen to be a part of a brides wedding day is something I never take for granted. My mission is to help every client (bridal party included) to feel like the most beautiful and confident version of themselves as they celebrate one of life's most unforgettable days. I'm committed to delivering an elevated bridal beauty experience that feels both luxurious and personal. I've always believed makeup should enhance what's already beautiful.
I understand that a wedding morning sets the tone for the entire day and aim to create an organized, yet enjoyable atmosphere and let that set the tone for the rest of your day. I believe the getting ready experience should feel relaxed, organized and enjoyable.
I have two cats. Loki and Sylvie. They are my little loves. I also volunteer twice a week for a local cat rescue. I feed, play and clean up after the kitties there.
My favorite coffee order is an iced latte with regular milk (I like cow's milk, sue me! lol), 1 pump of mocha and 1 pump hazelnut syrup from Dark Horse Coffee and Kitchen in Sayville and Port Jeff! An extra fun fact.. My brother-in-law owns it ;)
I love living a healthy and active lifestyle. I believe in honoring your body through lots of movement and fueling it with healthy foods!
My love language is acts of service. I love baking/cooking for others.My love language is acts of service. I love baking/cooking for others.
My signature style focuses on soft glam makeup that enhances natural features rather than masking them. I prioritize skin focused techniques, thoughtful product selection and long lasting application so your makeup looks flawless both in person and in photographs while still feeling lightweight. While I'm naturally bubbly and outgoing, my energy on wedding mornings is calm, focused and supportive.
Calm . Focused. Supportive.

"I cannot say enough amazing things about Dana. She did my bridal makeup, and I felt absolutely beautiful. She truly listened to what I wanted, enhanced my natural features, and made me feel confident and comfortable the entire time. My makeup lasted flawlessly and photographed perfectly. Beyond her talent, she is so kind, calming, and professional. Her playlist was fire — exactly the energy you want on such an important day. I would recommend her a thousand times over!"

"Dana is an amazing make up artist! From the very first time meeting and doing our trial to the wedding day I knew I was in very good hands. Throughout the process she was so responsive and answered my many questions. On the day of the wedding she exceeded all expectations!! I was so in love with how she did my make up, especially the eyes which we changed up at the last minute. My make up lasted all day through rain and tears! My mother in law still to this day says it has been her favorite make up look. If you get the chance to work with Dana, definitely take it! Highly highly recommended!"

"I cannot say enough amazing things about Dana. She did my makeup for my wedding in July, and I truly couldn’t have been happier. I received so many compliments all day, and the best part was that I still felt completely like myself. On top of that, she was so fun to have around the morning of my wedding. She brought such great energy while keeping things calm and enjoyable. She was professional, efficient, and just all-around amazing. I would recommend Dana over and over again!!"

"Dana is truly amazing at what she does! From the moment I saw her work thru instagram, I knew I wanted her to do my bridal makeup! During my trial, she created a perfect look for me, but the day of my wedding, I wanted to tweak a few things, and she listened without hesitation, which I really appreciated. She went above and beyond what I asked for and was just super professional throughout the entire process and great with communication! BOOK HER! You won’t regret it!!"
it’s an experience rooted in timeless elegance and authenticity.
