Rachael did an amazing job doing makeup for a wedding I was in. I cannot say enough good things about her! She was able to do the makeup for the bride and 6 of the bridesmaids, starting early in the day and working all the way up to the wedding. She worked with each of us individually to match the ideas/looks we wanted. She was professional and fun to work with! The airbrush makeup looked wonderful and lasted all night. I loved her style and techniques and I am so excited to have her do my wedding in the fall.

I had the opportunity to work with Rae for my wedding last September. Not only did she do my make-up, but she did all 8 of my bridesmaids’ make-up too; all while bringing a professional, relaxed attitude to an otherwise nutty bridal suite. Her eye for detail and knowledge of what make-up can do for each individual person is what makes her work so impressive. What I loved most about her work is that she made sure that I looked like myself.

Ana
Rae is an amazing make-up artist! I could not believe how fast she worked and how amazing she made all of my bridesmaids look. The best part was that I have many different personalities in my wedding party.and she was able to please all of them. Everyone looked flawless. Just to give some insight to her talent I had a beach wedding where everyone danced their butts off, at the end of the night my dress was black and my hair a mess - but my make- PICTURE PERFECT!! That's who you want to hire for your wedding for sure.

Sarah
Rachael is an amazing make up artist. She is able to channel exactly the look that you want, whether it's for a birthday, wedding, whatever! When she does my makeup she accentuates my favorite features and hides my imperfections. I feel confident knowing my best face is forward! She's a great girl to know.

Nikki
Rachael was very professional and helpful during my photo-shoot. She has the ability to create a natural look that enhances your best features and makes you feel beautiful! My makeup looked flawless hours after as well. I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing professional makeup for weddings etc. She's wonderful!

Haley
Rae did my makeup for my brother's wedding. She actually did the whole bridal party. Our makeup looked fantastic! She asked us which styles we preferred and was able to adapt to every person's own style and skin tone. She used an airbrush system which lasted all day, even on the humid summer day. Everyone was very happy with Rae and her work. I would highly recommend her for any event!
