“I believe that all women are pretty without makeup, but with the right makeup can be pretty powerful.” Bobbi Brown Makeup Artist
ABOUT ME
I am a professional makeup & hair artist based in Pretoria, Gauteng, but I travel to all venues throughout South Africa.
I believe makeup is a form of art, with bridal glam and weddings being my specialty.
However, I love being creative and getting involved in styled shoots with like minded individuals in the industry is another passion of mine.
I always strive to provide the best service for my clients by keeping up to date with the latest techniques and makeup products. Makeup is not meant to be a mask that you hide under, but rather a reflection of each client’s natural, yet radiant, beauty.
“Yvette! Baie dankie vir die mooiste natuurlike grimering by my troue vir myself, strooimeisies en ma. Ek was BAIE kieskeurig toe ek op 'n MUA moes besluit, maar ongelooflik bly ek kon jou toe vertrou om presies te doen waarvoor ek gevra het. Die klein grimering touch-up pakkie was ekstra spesiaal gewees alhoewel my grimering basies die hele aand gehou het.
Ek is ook baie bly dat jy my oorreed het om lashes aan te sit vir die aand!“

“Kan nie begin om te sê hoe happy ek was met my bridal make-up nie. Yvette het al my make-up drome waar gemaak en oortref met al haar skills. Jy sal nie verkeerd gaan deur jou vertroue in haar hande te plaas nie. Niks is ooit teveel moeite vir haar nie.
Boonop is sy een van die lekkerste mense wat ek ken so jy hoef nie te stres oor “awkward chats” nie.”

“Ek kan nie genoeg vir jou en jou span dankie se nie.
Julle was net incredible. From the start of the day, you were organised, on time so friendly and an absolute gem! I cant believe how beautiful you made me look, and not once did I have to touch up my makeup - not even my lipstick.
There were some vendors who were an absolute nightmare to work with, but you just made u for it all by being so incredible. Thank you to Jani for my hair. My bridesmaids also looked like magic! I cannot recommend YRMA enough! Yvette is so warm and kind and actually affordable too! I feel like you undercharged me for the work you did! I rate Yvette 110%!“

“I was lucky enough to have Yvette and her team doing my hair and makeup for my wedding day. The whole team were extremely professional, accommodating, friendly, on time and just went above and beyond.
Each person in my bridal party had unique hair and makeup that enhanced their own beautiful features. Needless to say, I felt amazing all day and I was so sad to take off my makeup. I still get compliments to this day on how beautiful I looked and you are definitely my go-to for all my hair and makeup up needs. All my love“

“Yvette is absolutely phenomenal at makeup! I can’t sing her praises enough. In addition to being the most warm, loving and fun to be around person, she made me feel like I looked the best I ever had on my wedding day.
I have happily recommended her to friends and strangers alike and I recommend that you chose her to do your makeup too.
I promise you won’t regret it!“

“Liefste Yvette!! Ongelooflik baie dankie vir al jou moeite en tyd met my grimering en hare vir ons verlowingsfoto’s asook vir die dag met ons troue. Jy is uitstekend in jou werk en weet presies wat werk en weet presies wat werk by wie.
Ek het na jou toe gekom met foto’s en idees van wat ek wil doen en jy het my verwagtinge oortref.
Duisende dankies!“

“Ek kan vir Yvette van YRMA vir elkeen aanbeveel. Vir iemand wat skaam en verkies om "agter die skerms" te bly, het Yvette my as die mooiste bruid laat voel - vol selfvertroue, natuurlik en die belangrikste vir my soos myself.
Weereens baie dankie Yvette.
Ek wens ek kan elke dag so voel en lyk soos wat jy my laat voel en lyk het.“

“Yvette did my make up for my wedding day and she did a phenomenal job. I absolutely loved her work! She made me look stunning for our special day and the look was natural just I wanted.
She was professional and kind and SO SUPER organized!!! Which is totally my kinda thing!!! She danced with me, cried with me, laughed with me but most important listened to me. She kept me totally calm, cool and collect on the big day and every bride needs that!
Every bride needs an Yvette! Anyone that hires her is in good hands!“
