Sonja Gjokaj Makeup

Makeup Artist

Having lived on the East Coast for 15 years makes naming my homeland difficult, but it certainly has broadened my understanding of style and people. Regardless of the continent I am on or language I am speaking, there is no doubt that I absolutely love what I do. I've met some wonderful people through my work ranging from Nobel-prize winners to charismatic celebrity chefs.

My client roster includes PBS, MTV, TLC, Conde Nast, Food Network, Rolling Stone Magazine as well as corporate clients such as Raytheon, BBN technologies, Boston Consulting. I look forward to helping you look flawless for your next important event. Read more

    Sonja was such a pleasure to work with! She is one of the nicest people I have ever met. She not only made me (and my girls) look beautiful on the day of my wedding, but made me feel beautiful too! Sonja always made sure I felt comfortable and answered me honesty when asking her for advice on 'looks'.

    I definitely recommend Sonja for your wedding/event makeup!

    Sonja is wonderful!! I'm so glad that she was with us for my wedding day. Communication with Sonja is always quick and helpful. Sonja understood exactly what I was looking for: wedding makeup that looked natural, that would photograph well, and that has a more timeless look. Sonja showed up early and was all set up when we arrived. She was so sweet and my whole family loved her. She made everyone look amazing, from the mothers to the little girls in the bridal party. I absolutely loved my bridal makeup, and got compliments from everyone at the wedding. Definitely book Sonja for your wedding, she has great energy and does a wonderful job!

    I used Sonja to do my make-up for professional marketing picture I had to take. I am very happy about the outcome and she is very easy to take to and as well very professional. As we both are Germanys I make sure about being on time and Sonja did not disappoint me on this matter. She was ahead schedule which unfortunately, you do not find often in the States. She is funny, has a great humor and also is very carrying.
    She is great with responding per email and even with phone calls. I would all encourage you to book your consultation with Sonja. She is able to do all kind of customers. Especially as a man I really enjoyed her company and will only book sessions with her.
