I cannot recommend Oriana enough! She did my wedding makeup in Lake Como, and the experience was absolutely perfect from start to finish.
I didn’t have a trial beforehand, which can be nerve-wracking, but she completely understood my vision and brought it to life exactly as I had imagined. My makeup looked flawless, natural, and photographed beautifully throughout the entire day.
Beyond her incredible talent, Oriana has such a warm, calming personality. She made getting ready so enjoyable with great conversation and such a positive energy, which helped me feel relaxed on such an important day.
She arrived right on time, was incredibly professional, and even helped me put on my wedding dress and veil, going above and beyond what I expected from a makeup artist.
Overall, Oriana was amazing in every way. If you’re getting married in Lake Como or anywhere nearby, I would recommend her without hesitation. Thank you for helping make my wedding day so special!

Oriana is a true gem! I could not have asked for a better person to spend the morning getting ready with on the day of our wedding, in Monforte d'Alba. From the very beginning, Oriana was an excellent communicator — responsive, clear, and so easy to work with in the lead-up.
She brought such a fun and lively energy on the day, whilst also helping keep me feeling calm, relaxed, and present in the moment — something I’ll always be grateful to her for.
Most importantly, she absolutely nailed the look. Coming to Italy from New Zealand, there wasn't time for a hair or make-up trial but it definitely wasn't needed. She followed my inspiration pictures perfectly while still making everything feel natural and suited to me. I felt like a true princess and the very best version of myself.
I wish we could turn back time and do it all over again, and then I'd smuggle her home to New Zealand with me. I would recommend her to any bride without hesitation! Thank you again Oriana for everything Xxx

Genuinely blown away by Oriana. My hair and make up was without trial and wow, it couldn’t have gone any better. I sent inspiration photos but what Oriana did was even better than I could have imagined. Thank you for making the whole experience so relaxed and enjoyable. A truly wonderful and talented artist
Oriana was AMAZING! My mom, sister, and I all got our hair and makeup down by Oriana and one assistant. They were so lovely and did a great job with no trial - she was super communicative and responsive throughout the booking and on the day of. I never felt stressed! I’ve received so many compliments on my hair and makeup from everyone who has seen my photos! Thank you so much
I could not recommend Oriana more! From the first contact she convinced me with her kindness, constant availability and fast replies to all my questions. Not only was she the perfect companion during the hours leading up to our ceremony - she did an amazing job with my hair and makeup. She made my wishes come true and created an amazing makeup and hairstyle. Thank you so much Oriana
Oriana has my heart! First and foremost, an amazing and lovely person to be around (especially on a stressful day like your wedding)! She made me feel so calm and happy throughout the day with her positive energy which to be honest is the most important part for me. She is an absolute pleasure to be around!
As for my makeup, she listened to exactly what I wanted and things I am very picky about, like my eyebrows, and worked with me to perfect them as I wanted them to be. She kept it natural which I love because I don’t get my makeup done often and I still wanted to look like myself on my wedding day, but so beautifully done! She based my look off my features and my dress and added this beautiful glow to my lids that made them pop so beautifully!
I recommend her 100% for a big day like your wedding! I’m extremely picky and almost never happy when I get my makeup done but I can honestly say she made me feel so beautiful on my big day, and put the biggest smile on my face all day long! My maids of honor and mother also looked stunning and looooved their makeup so much!
Thank you so so so much sweet Oriana! You are a true gem!

Oriana helped make my day so special. She was so communicative through the whole process. She arrived early and helped make my hair and makeup exactly what I wanted and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. She is extremely kind, professional, and experienced and made me feel like I was getting ready with a close friend. My makeup and hair looked amazing through everything that day (crying a little, a sprinkle of rain, and a windy boat ride). I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me get ready for my elopement!
I may have even no words for Oriana but let‘s try! Oriana made my makeup and hair to my wedding at Como Lake. First we did the trial with her a few days before and I have to say that I was a bit nervous since I am not used to have makeups and hair do‘s by professionals! Right after I met her, I felt so comfortable I was not maybe the easiest client with all white hair (also less hair) and eyebrows etc, however she did it perfectly! I could not wish more and I am more than happy that I was so lucky to have Oriana on my big day! Her professionality is next level and for me the really big part was also her personality!!! What a kind and bubbly person and she really cares of her clients. Eventho, I was not feeling that I am her client, more like a good friend! I already miss her!! Her lovely personality also helped me to reduce stress on my biggest day! I can only recommend Oriana! Lots of love
