I’ve known Alissa since we were kids so naturally when she first launched Alissa’s Bakery I followed straight away. 😊 It was amazing to see an old family friend’s talents come to life!

  • Alissa and Kay are so easy and fun to work with! Super prompt communication. Had the best time with them at the trial and even a better time on the morning of the big day! I was such a nervous bride about EVERYTHING during the lead up but Alissa, Kay and their team were so lovely to my bride squad and really calmed my nerves.

    Alissa’s positive energy is so infectious and she really knows how to make anyone feel their best! Her work and the smiles on all those faces she’s glammed speaks for itself. Choosing Alissa was one of the easiest decisions, as I knew having a familiar face do my makeup would keep me at ease amongst all the craziness of the wedding day.

    I would 10000% recommend Alissa’s services! Alissa is an absolute master in what she does. If you’re not sure what look you want, she’ll work her magic! If you know the exact look you’re after, she’ll exceed all expectations! The best part - you will still look like YOU. I had always worried about looking like a different person all glammed up but Alissa knows exactly how to highlight features in the best way possible. Not to mention, I was Alissa’s final bride before she gave birth - a mere 12 days later! Her dedication and work ethic is insane and deserves all the successes coming her way.

    You won’t regret choosing her!

After getting engaged in 2022, I was searching for the perfect MUA to cover my engagement and wedding. Alissa was recommended not only by my now husband, but also other family and friends!! I remember attending a wedding in awe of the bridal make up and was told it was Alissa’s work! I knew from there that the only way forward is to reach out to Alissa to see if she was available for my wedding day (and Thank God she was!!!!).

  • Where do I being with my experience with Alissa’s Bakery?! The experience was everything you would hope for as a bride-to-be! Alissa’s down to earth personality made every make up decision feel like a breeze! You gain more than a make-up artist throughout the process.. and instead you gain a lifelong sister/friend. I remember on my wedding day just watching Alissa and her team interact with the rest of the bridal party and just witnessing nothing but laughter and meaningful conversations in the rush to get ready for the wedding ceremony. Even after a long day, everyone’s’ make-up still looked bloody AMAZING!!!!!

    I’ve mentioned this already and will mention it again and again.. my favourite part of working is Alissa is that I gained a sister. It’s been exactly a year since the wedding and she still finds the time to reach out and have meaningful conversations. She is the only MUA that I will go to for any special occassion. I highly HIGHLY recommend Alissa to brides-to-be and for those looking to get make-up done for special occassions. Her passion for this field resonates to everyone around her. Her cheerful, hard-working, passionate and humble heart on top of her talent as a MUA honestly makes her the best in the industry! You will not be disappointed!

Alissa is so much more than just a makeup artist - she’s the magic behind the moments you didn’t even know you needed on your wedding day.

  • I first met Liss years ago through a mutual connection, and what started as a simple introduction turned into a friendship that has stood the test of time. Over the years, no matter how much time passes between catch-ups, our bond has remained effortlessly strong - something that made having her as my bridal makeup artist even more special.

    The best part about working with Liss is the deep understanding we have built over time. She’s always made me feel beautiful and confident in my own skin - with or without makeup. On my wedding day, she instinctively knew the look I was going for without me needing to show her a single inspiration photo. She just “got” me, and her work reflected that perfectly.

    Alissa and Kay made me feel truly radiant on the most important day of my life. Beyond the flawless makeup, Liss made me feel calm, cherished, and reminded me of how loved I was. Even when the nerves kicked in that morning, she knew exactly how to ground me with laughter and love.

    While I may be biased because of our personal connection, I say this wholeheartedly - she is the best bridal makeup artist I can recommend. Liss is a powerhouse of talent and creativity. She’s not just a makeup artist, she’s your biggest hype woman and confidence booster, your calm in the chaos, and the person who can turn a “getting ready” moment into one of the best parts of your wedding day. Every bride deserves an Alissa in their corner.

 

Isabelle

I remember the first time Liss did my makeup, before she started Alissasbakery - from that day on, there was never a question about who would do my wedding makeup! From meeting in a Starbucks drive-through more than ten years ago to her being by my side on one of the most important days of my life - her talent continues to be unmatched and she effortlessly nails it every single time!

Liss isn’t just a makeup artist - she’s your ultimate hype girl, with an infectious energy and someone who makes you feel completely at ease! She brings out your absolute best, not just in how you look, but in how you feel. You know you’re in a safe pair of hands when sitting in her chair.

It was the hottest day in February 2023. I was so worried my makeup would melt right off. My look stayed the whole night and I didn't even need a touch up.

I first heard about Liss on Instagram and after going on a wormhole of all her photos I knew she was the one that I wanted to do my makeup on my special day!

  • It was the best experience ever! What I though would be a stressful part of the day was made so easy and comfortable. My favourite part was that we played music, major girl talk and before I knew it we were all glammed and I was ready to walk down the aisle. I would 10000% recommend Alissa and Kay. It’s one of the biggest events in your life and you want to be looked after by the best!

Jacqui

I first heard of Alissa through the brides that I have worked with in the past. As a vendor myself, I had been fortunate enough to be tagged in multiple social posts and Alissa’s name just kept popping up left-right-and-centre. She seemed to be the IT girl with almost all my brides, and seeing her work I knew she was who I wanted to ask as my makeup artist for the day.

  • From booking and liaising over emails/messages, to bridal shower/makeup trials, up until the wedding day, every interaction with Alissa was seamless. Her talent and expertise is second to none, and every query to worry I had, she solved. I rarely ever wear makeup (anything more than eyelash curling is a lot for me!) but Alissa’s skills still made me feel like myself and gave me extra confidence throughout the day.

    Not only does she have the experience, but her bubbly personality is what will leave you with the best and lasting impression. It truly felt like you were working with a close girlfriend. Your makeup artist will literally set the mood for the day since they will most likely be the first vendor you see, and our morning was honestly soooo fun with her, she did not disappoint! Even my bridesmaids commented on how great she was and how easy to get a long with. Definitely my favourite part about her. Would recommend any bride to book with Alissa in a heartbeat. Not only will you have the best in the business but you will also be leaving with a new friend. Alissa was incredible throughout the whole journey of organising the wedding and she will bring the absolute best vibes to start your day!

Beth

Weddings can be stressful and there’s always something that doesn’t go to plan but Alissa's service is not one of those things.

  • Liss was pregnant when she did mine and my bridesmaids makeup, but you wouldn't have known, she was on time, ready to go, giving each of us a professional service. None of our requests/requirements were a problem. She’s done it all before and makes it seem like a breeze.

    I don’t know much about makeup, but I know I can trust her to be using the best brands and the highest quality products. She used the right shades to suit my skin tone and I’d recommend her to anyone!

I was recommended Alissa through my now husbands, best friends, brother. I contacted her without really knowing what to expect but her warmth and kindness shone through from the second she first replied.

It seems strange to me now that I never met Liss until almost 3 years later. I booked my first wedding date with her and she was there through my OCD planning and compulsive emails and PDF files...until the news hit that there was a global pandemic (cya later first wedding date). We re-hyped ourselves and without skipping a beat she rebooked my wedding, never once seeming like there was ever any option other than making it work.... Then the second wave came (cya later second wedding date). This time she contacted me first, reassured me that our love was the only thing that mattered, and no matter what, she would find a way to be there for me. So my third date came along and, finally, I got the day that I’d always wanted.

  • It wasn’t anything like getting ready with a MUA, or even like getting ready with a long-time friend. Liss was family by this point. My family still to this day marvel at how incredible she was.

    I cannot believe that the whole long process all culminated in the most magical and perfect day. She is kind, warm, loving, sincere. Her skills are like nothing I’ve seen before and the experience with her is something that you honestly cannot put a price on.

    My family and I looked flawless on my wedding day, a day I’d dreamed about for so long. The confidence and joy she brought me is something I’ll never be able to repay, but I know, without a doubt, it is a feeling and a glow that every bride dreams about.

    Knowing what I know now, booking her, having her there for me was one of the best decisions of my life. And how she got so darn talented and beautiful, I’ll never know. I am truly blessed for knowing her.

Rachelle

My friend Faith recommend Alissa to me when I was looking for an MUA for my wedding. I was so glad I picked her because not only was she incredibly talented but also very forgiving.

  • We both realised that I gave the wrong wedding date to her 2 months before our actual wedding date. We both panicked at first but she was able to reassure me that she will definitely be there on my special day. I felt so lucky. I can’t thank her enough for her kindness and vibrant energy during the day. She made us feel so beautiful and very much happy. I recommend her to all the future brides for her talent, personality and love with what she does. Thank you so much Alissa, truly.

Janine

Alissa was a pleasure to work with! We got married on the 9th of January 2021, I messaged Alissa 2 weeks prior to our wedding to ask her if she could do my makeup, in my mind I thought surely she would probably say ’no’ because I know her crazy schedule, and fair enough you have to book an MUA at least a year ahead and plus where the heck could you find an MUA within a span of 2 weeks? I was shocked when she messaged me back and she said she’s happy to do my makeup! I was literally jumping with joy because I wasn’t expecting it.

  • Thank you so much Alissa, like what I always say “you were such an answered prayer”. Having Alissa do our makeup was one of the best things ever! We were so calm all morning because we knew we were in such great hands. My in-laws, and my family loved her! Her bubbly personality and friendliness with everyone is one of her best traits.

    Everyone loved their makeup and it came out wonderfully and lasted all day, especially mine of course and she put my mind at ease, she even helped my sister do my hair, and she went above and beyond when she even delivered our wedding cake to our reception.

    Alissa kept reminding me that this is “your day” and “I’m here for you”, Liss is literally an all-rounder! She made sure I don’t need to worry about anything. I couldn’t have asked for more! OMG I owe a lot to this beautiful soul. I love you so much Liss! From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!

    I can’t recommend Alissa enough, she is so talented in her craft and you can tell she really loves what she does. If you’re thinking about booking her for your wedding, do it now! Before she gets booked out. Thank you again for everything, know that we appreciate you a lot!

Faith

I would like to thank you SO much for being part of my big day. From the get-go you were so easy to get along with and gave me the confidence to let you work your magic! Even with changes from my end you delivered above and beyond. My makeup stayed on the whole day despite any wind, humidity, tears, tears and more tears haha.

  • By the end of the night it looked as beautiful from when you first put it on (there were no touch ups during the day too!) My bridal party looked AH-mazzing too! They all loved it and I thought they looked snatched AF, natural beauty yet glamorous.

    Again, I would like to thank you thank you so much for making it so easy throughout the process and I will definitely recommend to anyone.

 
 

Cherrie

I first heard about Alissasbakery through my cousin who also used Alissa as the MUA for her wedding. Alissa just has the most beautiful soul and you can just see how passionate she is about her work.

My mum and bridesmaids absolutely loved her bubbly personality and positive vibes when getting ready for my wedding. She made all of us look flawless and feel like princesses for the day, with our makeup lasting all through the night.

  • Alissa always brings positivity and energy to any room. My favourite part about working with her is that it feels like she is just one of the girls in your bridal party. She makes everyone feel comfortable and she is so fun to be around.

    I would recommend Alissa to any bride to-be in a heartbeat. She will go out of her way to make sure all her brides and bridal parties are 100% happy with her work. Thank you Alissa for being part of my special day.

Alyssa

I first heard of Alissasbakery a couple of years ago via Instagram. We were following each other for a while but hadn’t actually met. I kept liking all her posts because her work is insane! It wasn’t until I was planning my wedding and Alissa was the first person I had in mind to do my makeup.

  • Alissa is such a breeze to work with. She’s like your best friend as soon as you meet! She makes you feel comfortable and is open to suggestions on how you want your makeup. She’s easy going, loves to chat and makes you feel amazing!

    My favourite part of working with Alissa is just knowing that when she’s with you, it’s like you’ve known her for a long time. You can talk about anything! She always explains things really well with makeup and her technique.

    Alissa is a great MUA and will definitely recommend her to everyone! My makeup on my wedding day stayed on for the whole day and night even when I was crying my eyes out! I would love to work with her again if I could get my makeup done professionally in the future.

Andrea

I first heard about Alissasbakery on Instagram and through friends who also followed her on insta. My experience from day one has been amazing!

  • I’ve never really gotten my makeup done professionally before so I was hesitant and wanted it to be a smooth and stress free process. After speaking with Alissa over the phone the first time I knew I was in good hands! My absolute favourite bit about working with Alissa was her easy going nature not only with me but with all the bridesmaids and even my parents and cousins. 100% I would recommend Alissa for any future brides! She has such a fun and bubbly vibe it made prep for my big day go so amazingly well and her skills as a makeup artist made me feel so confident and ready to say I do!

Jessica

I found Alissa through IG after a friend suggested to check her out and saw she had worked with a friend of mine. After asking my mate about her I was told “100% recommend” and I could not agree more!!!

  • After having my wedding, I cannot emphasise enough how important it is to have positive energy around you from start to finish! Alissa is no exception to this and truly pumped up those energy levels, despite our 6am start! Her work was flawless and I could not have been happier with the end result on everyone but especially myself. I have never walked out of an MUA chair being 100% satisfier until I met her! She does not disappoint! I just wish we could do it all again!

I first met Alissa in 2016. It was my first time getting professional makeup done for an event and since then, Alissa has been my go-to for makeup glam! We met in a time when we were both single.. fast forward 4.5 years and who else do I choose as my MUA for my own wedding but my day 1! She understood and created my vision of how I wanted to look at my wedding and her attention to detail was flawless and absolutely perfect.

  • She makes you feel comfortable and as long as you have a good playlist playing in the background you know it’s good vibes! Alissa not only is my makeup artist but a friend in disguise.

    I was introduced to Alissa who was a starting MUA back in 2015 by my cousin who works at Starbucks. My cousin had her makeup done for an event and I just knew I needed her to do my face professionally! Alissa’s attention to detail is flawless and perfect. She takes time to understand your vision of how you want to look. She only uses the best quality makeup products. Most of the time you just need to ‘sit and relax’ and she will do the rest! Alissa is fun, bubbly and a boss b*tch all in one! She knows exactly how to execute the job well. I would absolutely recommend Alissasbakery. I have referred her to two of my girlfriends who also had Alissa as their MUA for their wedding day. I always believe when finding an MUA, it is best through word of mouth.

Jacqueline

Having Liss as my MUA was amazing! She is so easy going and easy to work with. Nothing was a hassle and she made me feel so comfortable and not to mention made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day!

  • Having been a COVID bride herself, Liss and I were able to connect and she was such a encourager and help. When you talk to Liss, it’s as if you have been friends forever. I love that she treats her clients as her friends!

    Liss brought so much life and fun to the room the morning of the wedding. We had an early start but made my bridesmaids and I feel comfortable, beautiful and confident. She is the biggest hype girl and encourager to her clients. My bridesmaids and I couldn’t stop raving about her and how good she is!

    I couldn’t recommend her enough! She is truly the best in the business! You’ll have the best time with her and she will make you look perfect!

Alysse

Alissa was recommended to me by my best friend after they net at work. Her cheery personality stood out to my friend, and after checking up on her makeup looks on Instagram, I knew she was the perfect choice for my wedding!

  • My experience with Alissa was absolutely perfect. From my initial enquiry, to meeting her for the first time, and the wedding day itself; every part of the process was easy and positive. Alissa answered my questions and gave me recommendations in the lead up to the day, which meant I had a few less things to stress about (so helpful when planning a wedding!). She knew exactly what looks would work for both my bridesmaids and my mum as well, which meant less research and stress for me!

    Alissa listen to what I wanted and knew what would work well for me. She made me feel beautiful, confident and on top of the world on my wedding day, not just with her amazing work but also with her kind words and encouragement. It didn’t feel like I had a stranger doing my makeup that morning, but instead I felt like I had another friend there supporting and helping me get ready for the day. I am truly thankful Alissa was part of my big day.

    Alissa has stayed in touch since, showing just how much she cares about those she meets and what a genuine person she is. I would absolutely recommend her, without any hesitation, to all the brides out there. She has such a talent to create stunning makeup looks and will make you feel so special on your big day. Alongside this she is an absolutely beautiful person both inside and out, who will make you smile, laugh and cry with her bubbly and caring personality.

    Wishing you all the very best Lissy, you deserve it!

Maria

From a tomboy little kid (still a tomboy haha) to one of the most talented, diligent, sincere person I know, who I am fortunate enough to call my friend and my MUA on my wedding day.

  • What you see is what you get with Alissa. From an early wake up call to glam 6 faces in a small time frame, she did it with such finesse, maintained her positive and vibrant energy throughout. Not only an incredible MUA but also a counsellor/therapist/friend to ease your nerves on the day! She is highly committed in making sure you look nothing but flawless on your wedding day. What more could you want?!

    Could never thank you enough for what you’ve done! Forever grateful for you! Would definitely recommend this girl to anybody wanting good vibes whilst getting glammed up. Consider yourself blessed!

 

Christine

Alissa is not only the most beautiful person but she is incredibly talented. For four years Alissa has played a pivotal role in all my event routines. Early on, it was evidently clear that there was no one else I would trust with my makeup for any event, especially my wedding day.

Alissa, I could never thank you enough for the huge part you played on my wedding day. You and your work is more than I Could have ever hoped for, and I honestly felt like the luckiest girl in the world to have you as my makeup artist.

  • From the moment you arrived in the morning you helped make the atmosphere comfortable and fun. Despite my stress, you made making such a large bridal party look like a walk in the park. You made me and the whole bridal party feel beautiful and confident, and played more of a part than you will ever know in making it the happiest day of my life.

    I speak nothing but the truth when I say you are the best in the business. I will continue to recommend you with no hesitation to future brides to be, and will forever book you in for all my events to come.

    There is a reason why I booked my wedding date purely on your availability. You are and forever will be my go-to when it comes to makeup.

Stephanie

I found out about alissasbakery via instagram and knew of her through mutual friends. Seeing her social media, I just thought, wow I wish I could do makeup like her lol. Upon meeting her, it was funny how much you discover that her makeup is an exact expression of her personality.

  • I could have asked for more in a wedding MUA. I had an idea of what I wanted but Alissa made changes that she knew would suit me better or suit my outfit better for the bridal shower, hens night, wedding photo shoot and the day of the actual wedding.

    Working with Alissa is like working with a close girlfriend. I don’t know how she can concentrate so hard yet be talking to me the whole time and listening to me vent LOL. The day of the wedding is where she really shined.. she helped calm my nerves, brought me back to reality when I would freak out and helped me maintain my schedule on the busy morning of the wedding. I had a huge wedding party waiting in line for their makeup and she smashed it all out flawlessly and on time.

    I highly recommend Alissa to any future bride. This girl makes anyone look stunning. I felt like a queen each time she did my makeup. It was flawless all day and the only downfall to having her as your MUA is that you’re gonna be mega sad having to wash off your perfect face.

Faye

I stumbled upon Lissy’s account via my dear friend and wedding photographers page. When I saw her work with the brides and brides-to-be, I instantly felt ecstactic to be on her chair and be the most beautiful person on our wedding day!!

  • True enough, she did her work with so much passion. From the moment I’ve met Liss (pre-wedding shoot up to until our wedding day), Liss and I easily connected as if we’ve known each other already for so long! She understood my vision for my desired looks and my hubby always appreciates her work and professionalism as well! My makeup lasted for the entire day, spotless! You wouldn’t need a glass of champagne to calm your nerves on your day, Liss will also take care of that!

    I couldn’t recommend Alissasbakery highly enough! She’s amazing in her craft! The most caring and bubbly makeup artist all in one.

Salochna

Alissa and I used to work together. Her presence would just brighten up the room and whenever I was on shift with her, I knew it would be a FUN DAY!

  • When she kicked started her makeup career, I knew she would not only succeed, but REALLY EXCEED in it! She has glammed me up for a few occasions for events and I knew I had to have her for for my big day!

    On my wedding day, she made me look flawless and so beautiful. I received compliments all night and I was so proud to show her off! She did everything I asked, for both my ceremony and reception look and I couldn’t fault one thing.

    Alissa is exactly what you see! She is a perfectionist and she takes pride in her work and her brides. She is so fun to be around and so easy to get a long with! She treats you like her friend with the upmost respect, not just another ‘client’. Which is why I love and adore her so much.

    I highly recommend my girl! You will not be disappointed, because she will never ever let you walk out without you looking BEAUTIFUL!

 
 

Michelle

I heard about Alissasbakery through my sister-in-law. Liss had previously done her makeup and RAVED on about her so I had to book her in! I had reached out to Liss in July for my January wedding makeup. I didn’t get back to her until October (Sorry Liss! Hehe) as I was umm’ing and ahh’ing over my makeup. I kept seeing posts and photos people’s makeup she had been doing and that reeled me in. Luckily she still had my date free and the rest is history!

  • Liss is THE. VERY. BEST ! She is so approachable, responds to emails/texts/DMS in a timely manner - from the time I first started chatting to Liss, to the trial make up, to the wedding day.. nothing is ever a problem for her! I find her to be one of those people you meet and click with straight away. She really listens to what you want and achieves it aka makes me feel like a bronzed goddess.

    Liss has this way of making you feel so comfortable, especially on your wedding day when all you do is stress/worry/get anxious. I was a nervous wreck on my wedding day and she calmed me down with her down to earth personality. She is so so personable and never ever has there been an awkward silence. I told her what I wanted (I was so specific, I didn’t want OTT) and she delivered and understood exactly what I was after.

    100% book Liss if she’s available for you right away! I’ve had my makeup done by her another two times after my wedding (for family/friends weddings) and I trust her each time to paint my face. I just end up saying “what you think would look nice on my face, I trust you!” Also, the makeup stays on all night!
