Bridal Makeup
My style, services, FAQs, and what to expect!
Authentic Beauty, Timeless Elegance
My signature makeup look is “noticeable, yet natural” with an emphasis on creating a flawless, glowing complexion and eyes that subtly pop! However, makeup is not one-size-fits-all, and my approach to makeup is tailored to each client’s individuality and comfort level. From the glamorous to most natural of looks, each look I create is bespoke to every bride’s unique preferences and taste.
Makeup Trial Run (Required)
Your bridal trial run is an hour-and-a-half appointment dedicated to creating your perfect wedding day makeup look! During this time, we’ll discuss your skincare needs, inspiration photos, preferred makeup looks, and color selections to design a look that feels beautiful, timeless, and uniquely you.
Your appointment includes a full makeup application, along with the option to add false lashes for the perfect finishing touch. This is also the perfect opportunity to make any adjustments and ensure every detail feels just right before your big day.
Bridal trial runs are required and should be scheduled at least 6 weeks prior to your wedding day. This allows plenty of time to perfect your look, prepare everything needed, and help your wedding morning feel smooth, relaxed, and stress-free.
Wedding Day Makeup
Your bridal makeup appointment is designed to be a relaxing, luxurious part of your wedding day experience. During this one-hour appointment, we’ll begin with soothing skincare to help you unwind while prepping your skin for a flawless makeup application.
Since we’ve already color-matched your skin and perfected your desired look during your trial, your wedding-day makeup process will feel seamless and stress-free. All you need to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy being pampered!
We’ll complete your look with your choice of false lashes, any final finishing touches, and your selected lipstick to ensure you feel beautiful, confident, and photo-ready for your special day!

I had the BEST experience working with Rachel for my bridal makeup. I wanted a look that was simple and elegant and Rachel gave me just that! She was organized and thoughtful about communicating everything throughout the process of working together. I highly recommend her for all your MUA needs. <3

Rachel is excellent, warm, friendly, professional, caring and gave me one of the best facials I have ever had. My face and skin felt great after my service. Her studio is so warm and welcoming. She is very knowledgeable with makeup and skin care. I highly recommend her and I will be seeing her again soon for my next facial!
— Judy M.
Rachel was the perfect makeup artist to have for my wedding day. She was on time, prepared, and never seemed rushed. When she applied my makeup, I felt very relaxed and she was very gentle with each different tool she used on the various parts of my face. During my trial run, I told her I wanted a natural, elegant look, and she did exactly that — I felt so beautiful and my husband couldn't agree more. The makeup she used was high quality and lasted the entire day and night. It was obvious from talking with her that makeup artistry is her passion, and what a joy it was to be around her.
— Lauren P.
Rachel is incredible. My facial was a wonderful experience. My skin felt so soft and clean and I was so pleasantly surprised by how relaxed I felt afterwards. The space was so comfortable, and beautiful. I cannot wait for my next one!

Rachel is seriously the absolute sweetest and her studio is so inviting and cozy! She did my make up for my son’s one year old photo shoot and no exaggeration when I say that my make up has never looked better!!! She’s so talented & knowledgeable. She gave me the best recommendations for makeup and skincare that I promptly bought and use daily! I am so excited to have her do my makeup for my SIL’s wedding later this year. I would give her 10 stars if I could - highly recommend visiting her!
— Alley M.
Rachel’s makeup is 10/10! She did my wedding makeup and not only got a million compliments, but it felt and looked so natural and not "cakey"! A million times recommend!

Common Questions
I believe in enhancing your natural features rather than masking them. Your wedding day look should feel like the best version of yourself.
How far in advance should I book?
I recommend booking 6-12 months in advance, especially for peak wedding season (May-October). However, I occasionally have last-minute availability, so don't hesitate to reach out!
Do you travel for weddings?
Yes! I'm based in Rochester, NY, but I'm available for travel throughout New York State and beyond. Travel fees vary depending on location.
What's included in a bridal trial run?
Your trial includes a full makeup application, consultation to discuss your vision and preferences, photography in natural light, and detailed notes for your wedding day.
Can you reserve my wedding date?
During peak wedding months the demand for my services is high, and for that reason dates can't be held for any period of time. My availability is offered on a first-come, first-serve basis and my services are secured by returning a signed contract for your wedding day.
Is the bridal trial run required?
Yes, the bridal trial run is required at least 6 weeks ahead of your wedding day. This is to ensure everything goes smoothly on the day or your wedding and to ensure we're a good fit to work together!
