Bridal Makeup
My style, services, FAQs, and what to expect!
Thank You
for your interest in my services, and congratulations! I’m so excited for you and would love to be a part of your special day!
Philosophy & Style
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.
What to Expect
Bridal Makeup (Trial Run): This appointment will be a fun-filled hour and a half to choose your wedding day makeup look! We’ll go over your custom skincare needs, makeup looks of choice, color selections, and do a full makeup application with lashes (false lashes, if you choose). Your trial run appointment is a required service and should be scheduled at least 6 weeks before your wedding day. This gives us time to make sure we have everything perfected and ensures your wedding day goes as smoothly as possible!
Bridal Makeup (Day Of): This one-hour appointment will start out with some beautiful skincare to help you relax and get your skin prepped for your full makeup application. Because we’ve already color-matched you and perfected your look during your trial run, this should be a breeze for you on your special day. Just sit back and relax! We’ll complete your look with false lashes (if you choose), any finishing touches, and your chosen lipstick.
Let’s Get Started!
Start by sharing the details of your wedding via the button below and I’ll work with you to set up your trial run and your Wedding Day services!
"Rachel was the perfect makeup artist to have for my wedding day! I opted to have her travel to my venue location for convenience, which she was happy to do! She was on time, prepared and even brought a cute, comfy director-style chair for the girls to sit in. She never seemed rushed, but was calm and joyful throughout the entire time. She was able to complete everyone’s makeup with extra time to spare for any last minute touch-ups. I was impressed that she was able to achieve everyone’s look on the spot without having former practice with them.
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 - no eye stabbing at all! During my trial run, I told her I wanted my makeup to be natural and elegant with the goal of enhancing my natural beauty without looking too overdone. 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! I was impressed I didn’t have to touch up my lipstick at all, despite all the kissing, eating and drinking I did! And my face didn’t “melt off” either despite my very oily skin and sweat from dancing! I also have very fair skin (probably the fairest of them all haha) and she was still able to color match it with her foundation which has always been a challenge of mine.
It was obvious from talking with her and seeing her skilled work that makeup artistry is more than just a job but a passion she truly loves! And what a joy it was to be around her! With Rachel, you don’t just get an incredibly skilled makeup artist but an instant friend - which is who you want to have around on your special day."
Bridal makeup artists are in high demand right now! Many brides book their bridal services over a year in advance, but I recommend securing your favorite hair and makeup as early as possible to ensure their availability for your special day! When you know, let us know :)
I travel all over upstate NY to PA for my brides! Travel within the Monroe county area is included in all my contracts! If you have a wedding outside the Monroe County area I will give you a custom quote for travel!
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.
Yes! Just let me know who would like to have their makeup done and I'll coordinate with you and provide a detailed schedule for your day-of services. For larger parties, I may bring a trusted makeup assistant at no extra cost to you!
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!
