About

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 20 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:

Beauty - Each Party Member recieves

Professional Make Up Applications with luxe skin prep and lashes included, and Professional Hair Styling, on top of which for the Bride we attach (if needed) any hair accessories or veils ex., that you may have and also provide a Touch Up Kit to stay fresh throughtout the day.

Business - We work with you to prepare for your Big Day, making the process as easy and stress-free as possible

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. This portal allows you to view all correspondence between us, access all files, and make payments. Everything is online, no need for downloads or digging through e-mails.

We follow-up with you by a planned schedule to complete our questionnaire, book and complete your trial, create a working document to collect the looks and needs of each of your bridal party members, create a thoroughly detailed morning timeline following the schedule of your other vendors, and finally the check-ins prior to the Day itself.

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 🙌

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!

Got #Annimated On My Wedding Day!

I was so happy that I got #Annimated for my wedding in late October! Annika was very thorough with getting everyone’s hair and makeup inspo, so that she can create an optimal schedule to accommodate everyone's hair/makeup needs and time conflicts. The team was ready to go at our 5am start, Annika and her team made me and my bridal party feel so comfortable and have fun with the process of getting ready for the long day ahead. I got so many compliments on my makeup, and I looked and felt so beautiful on my wedding day! The makeup lasted all night long, and my hair was still intact and picture-ready during the reception. I recommend booking a bridal trial; Annika will take note of any feedback and will implement them on the wedding day! Thank you Annika, Annie, Richa and Kanwal for your talent and hard work!

Amazing team!

I am so glad I went with AnnimationsMkUp for my wedding! Not only are their prices more affordable, but Annika was super responsive and honest right from the beginning. She told me that I deserve vendors who respond to me right away and I took it to heart while planning my wedding.

Annika was also very organized and made sure to share my vision for hair and makeup with Rimpal for my trial. Rimpal was fantastic! Super sweet and personable at the trial, walked me through the process, and made me feel comfortable as someone not used to wearing a lot of makeup let alone falsies. On the day of the wedding, she even helped my bridal party get ready by sharing her tools and tips, and stayed longer to make sure my hair and makeup were alright. I also didn’t know that she drove by and took videos of my first look with my now husband!

I can’t tell you how much it means to have people (especially women of colour) on your side during such a big, exciting, and stressful time in your life. Annika set the foundation for amazing service and Rimpal went above and beyond! They were flexible and responsive which helped settle my nerves. I got so many compliments on my hair and makeup and felt beautiful the whole night.

Thank you so much for being a part of my special day! ❤️

Great choice!

I was so fortunate to have Rimpal and Saima be part of my wedding day! I already knew how I felt about Rimpal from my trial; she was so incredibly warm, fun and exceptionally talented, and I knew she'd be the same on the big day. She made me feel so beautiful with her work, but also in how she spoke to me. Rimpal soothed any anxieties I had about the wedding set-up that was happening around us as she got me ready (she even offered to hang back a while longer to help!) and she devoted the same attention to the rest of my party. Saima, who I met the day of the wedding, was equally good at her work and making everyone (my mom in particular) feel great! Annika, who coordinated the services, had also been communicative and SO organized in the months leading up to the wedding. Planning a wedding was stressful, but working with Annimations was not!

The sweetest soul - radiates positive vibes on your big day

I am incredibly grateful for the wonderful Annika and her team that worked on my bridesmaids' hair and my mom and mother-in-law's hair and makeup. Their patience, attention to detail, and extra care to ensure the comfort and confidence of the moms truly touched my heart. The results were absolutely stunning, and they played a significant role in making the day even more special. Thank you for your incredible talent and heartfelt dedication!

Flawless hair and makeup

Annika and Rebecca did the makeup for me and my bridal party for my wedding on June 24, 2023. Everyone looked absolutely gorgeous, while still feeling like they looked like themselves! Annika and Rebecca were efficient, knowledgeable and so much fun! I got SO many compliments on how beautiful I looked. Also, my Hollywood waves stayed flawless ALL NIGHT LONG. I truly felt like a Hollywood star.

Made me feel so beautiful

Anni and Bek made us (especially me) feel so beautiful! They made sure that we stayed on time and supported all of the different requests from the wedding party. Everyone I talked to mentioned how beautiful my makeup was.
The price was very reasonable and we got lots of extras included in our package.

Hit the Jackpot With Annika!

I would recommend Annika and her team in a heartbeat to any lady who is seeking a professional and kind-hearted makeup artist. From the very first time I contacted Annika I felt like I was her only client due to the fact that she was super responsive and extremely attentive to my questions and requests. She is super talented and knowledgeable in everything makeup and hair! The day of my Wedding Annika made me feel SO GLAM and SO SPECIAL!!!! She even stayed until the very end I was walking out the doors to my house and honestly made me feel like a Princess. Everyone the entire night kept complimenting my makeup look and all credit is due to Annika and her team! Thank you so much for making a part of my Wedding journey so beautiful xoxo
