On WeddingWire since 2017

Master Artist and Stylist Annika Rayman founded AnnimationsMkUp in 2014 to change the face of Bridal Beauty, literally! We live to provide professional, friendly service with outstanding results. No more awkward, silent wedding mornings with a stranger who does what they want to do instead of what makes you feel like you! Since then we've grown to a national team of 40+ with a 5 Star Rating on WeddingWire and several publications in bridal magazines.

The AnnimationsMkUp Standard blends both the beauty and business sides of a Bridal Beauty Wedding Vendor. Our aim is to not only have you looking and feeling your absolute most beautiful on your day, but also relaxed, pampered, and care-free, able to focus 100% on the magical moments of your wedding after having the most ideal morning.

The AnnimationsMkUp basic offering for each wedding is as follows:

To book, we take the flat amount along with a signed contract, and the remainder is due the week before the wedding. Once received, we sign in kind and reply with a booking e-mail that contains a link to create your personal booking portal.

Above and beyond in every regard!

I would wholeheartedly and without a shred of doubt, recommend Annika and her expert team of Annimations Artists to anyone seeking hair and makeup services.

Both myself and my large group of 10 other ladies, were all made to feel like our best selves ahead of my wedding. I had never been a fan of having my makeup professionally done by someone else (my eyes often water and I’ve never truly felt like “myself” afterwards). Annika and her team have changed all of that for me. The way she tailors makeup application to your comfort level, how she blends your “inspiration photos” to her expertise of how to accentuate YOUR features and skin, leaves you feeling nothing short of fabulous … and with a look that can withstand humidity, dance floor sweat and ample happy tears.

Her team comprises a crew of friendly, knowledgeable and punctual experts who only added to the joy of working with Annika herself.

On top of it all, Annika was one of the most affordable, cost-transparent and flexible beauty partners I have ever come across. Payments were easily and securely handled online via credit card, everything was spelled out in a flexible and timely fashion from the point of booking and she enabled a package that accommodated both my bridal shower look, trial and even helped to shape my brows ahead of the big day.

From our first point of contact over a year ahead of my wedding, to pinning my veil moments before my photos and wedding ceremony, Annika does so much more than your average beauty team.

It’s the moments following a momentous event like your wedding that you can sit back and realize who the key contributors were to every highlight and success. At every turn, Annika shines as one of those most remarkable people - I truly couldn’t have imagined my entire wedding season without her (and her fantastic team).

Run, don’t walk to book her - I promise you won’t regret it and as someone who had never heard of her before my Google searches last year - I’d lend my personal recommendation to anyone seeking a past client opinion!

Thank you, thank you, thank you, Annika 🙌

Beyond Happy!

I booked AnimationsMkUp over a year in advance of my big day, and every single time I reached out with questions throughout the year, Annika was incredibly quick to respond and always made me feel special throughout the entire process. I've always been a bit anxious about getting my makeup done, as I can be quite particular, but Annika consistently put me at ease.

She did my hair and makeup for my bridal shower, my bridal preview, and, of course, my wedding day. I can confidently say I was absolutely blown away by how I looked on my wedding day. I told Annika I wanted to feel like a golden goddess mermaid, and somehow, she made me feel even more beautiful than I ever could have imagined.

Annika’s team was also amazing. My five bridesmaids were all in love with their hair and makeup! I highly recommend Annika and her team!

The most beautiful bride tribe!

Annika and her team were such a delight to work with on my wedding day! I never felt so beautiful, and she executed everything perfectly. From our trial we were able to figure out exactly what I was looking for, and the day of couldn't have come out any better. My bridal party, my mother, and my aunt all loved their makeup and hair, and felt so confident, it shown through the photos.

Engagement Shoot Hair and Makeup

Annika is the most talented makeup and hair artist I have experienced. She is professional, prompt, and highly knowledgeable in her work. My engagement shoot makeup and hair looked phenomenal! I loved that she understood what I wanted from the beginning and made me look like an enhanced version of myself. Annika is such a beautiful person inside and out, I had a great time chatting together. I am so glad to have her for all my upcoming wedding events! I highly recommend Annika for any hair and makeup needs!

Wonderful.

Annika did a wonderful job for my bridal trial and wedding day. She was super easy to work with and offered suggestions and tips to make sure I looked my best. Honestly, I’m still surprised with how beautiful I looked on my wedding day. I wish that my extensions matched my curl pattern a bit better and that the shimmer used on the day of matched my skin tone but those were small hiccups. Overall, Annika did an amazing job. She made me and my MOH look beautiful.

Left Me Scrambling

I had a contract with AnnimationsMkUp almost a year before my Sept. 13th wedding - they had requested I fill out a specific document and use it as an example which I returned to them as promptly as possible (I had a death in the family, but this was months prior to my wedding). The owner, Annika, was understanding and once I submitted it I heard nothing. I followed up a few weeks later to book my trial and confirm she had received it.

She did, and let me know that for all of the bridesmaids and myself who do not know their "skin description/type" or have a dedicated skin care routine, they will need to sign a waiver indicating that AnnimationsMkUp will not be responsible for the lack of longevity of the makeup if it doesn't hold. I thought that was odd, and it wasn't mentioned anywhere in my contract, but I moved on and tried to collect more information for her.

She had then let me know that her artists were able to refuse service if they did not have enough information about skin type, etc. This worried me and I went through my entire contract and there was no clause about this, the only clause about refusal of service was for aggressive behavior, uncomfortable environment, etc. I asked her to call me at this point to go over the contract and clarify.

I mentioned many times to her that I do not have a dedicated skin care routine, I know nothing about makeup and don't wear it often and neither do my bridesmaids. After some back and forth, and (to me) implications that I was unclean, she decided she did not want to work with me. I was left high and dry with less than 2 months before my wedding.

Afterwards I got my deposit back and found many other companies willing to work with me, and more than happy with the details I originally provided to Annika. Annika has since tried to attack my character for speaking out about my experience, I really hope this is a one-off experience but wanted to share my almost year long experience.

Great experience!

I had a great experience working with Annika at Annimations and her team! The team was very professional and the pricing is very reasonable. I did have to send a few follow up emails to get my timeline from her, but Annika was very accommodating to changes to my timeline that I requested. She did an amazing job selecting the artists for me and my group! My main makeup artist was Rebecca and she did such a beautiful natural and soft glam and a gorgeous bun that lasted so well throughout the night. Kris did soft glam for the rest of the group and my bridesmaids were raving about how happy they were with their makeup. Overall I would definitely recommend Annimations!

Beautiful and professional!

We had a great time working with Annimations and we all looked and felt beautiful for our wedding day! As two brides, we were initially drawn to Annimations from a friend's recommendation as an inclusive vendor. Annika put together the "Love Is Love" package which didn't penalize us with extra costs just because we were two brides wanting hair and makeup done. We had hair and makeup done for us two brides plus 6 bridesmaids and our mother's hair with 3 artists in 5 hours. Everything ran smoothly and we finished even a little bit early!
We did have a couple glitches with the online system for emailing back-and-forth and had some delayed responses leading up to the wedding. All in all it was not major and everything worked out perfectly!

Amazing Work

Raquelle and Richa provided amazing hair and makeup service. The whole bridal party looked and felt amazing! These ladies were so sweet and professional. They catered to everyone's wants and needs. And provided suggestions to those who didn't have a clue as to what type of makeup or hair would work for them. The end results were perfect, could not have asked for a better team! Highly recommend these ladies for all your hair and makeup needs!
