Love Notes from Our Brides
-
My hair and makeup artists were truly wonderful. Because we were eloping, we weren’t able to do a trial beforehand, but they still made me feel completely confident and beautiful. They listened carefully to my preferences and were incredibly patient with any changes I wanted to make along the way. As someone who doesn’t typically wear full-coverage makeup, I really appreciated how natural and elevated the final look felt—perfectly bridal without feeling overdone. They were also incredibly accommodating in fitting me into their busy schedule and were excellent communicators throughout the entire process, which made everything feel seamless and stress-free. I felt like the best version of myself, and I’m so grateful for their talent, professionalism, and care.

She was absolutely incredible on my wedding day! From start to finish, she made the entire experience calm, fun, and stress-free. She really took the time to understand the look I wanted and brought it to life even better than I imagined. My makeup lasted all day and night, through happy tears, rain, dancing, and everything in between, and still looked flawless in photos. She is not only extremely talented, but also kind, professional, and so easy to work with. She made me feel confident, beautiful, and truly cared for on such an important day. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a makeup artist who will go above and beyond.

Rachael was everything I hoped for and more! She did my bridal hair & makeup, and she also did hair and makeup for my mother, mother in law, and sister in law. Everyone looked fabulous all day and loved their hair and makeup! Definitely the best/my favorite makeup I’ve ever worn!! & my hair has never stayed curled so long! I also loved my touchup kit! For my hair, I showed her a Pinterest picture and she replicated it perfectly! The makeup felt like me, and also so special and beautiful on my special day! Rachael has a true gift and I would recommend her to anyone!

I could not recommend Rachael more!!! I absolutely loved working with her on my wedding day not only for her skill but her calm demeanor as well. She was communicative from start to finish with the booking, trail and wedding day and I received so many complements. The most important thing to me was that I looked like myself on my wedding day, and she did just that. Thank you Rachael!

I used FaceofMakeup for my wedding day. Rachael and her team did such a great job with both my hair and makeup. They listened to any changes I wanted from my trial and they made me look and feel the best on my day! I would 100% use FaceofMakeup again.

Rachael and her team were absolutely incredible! I truly felt like a princess on my wedding day and she made all six of my bridesmaids and both of our moms look so beautiful. Everyone’s hair and makeup lasted all night. She created such a fun, calm atmosphere while we were getting ready.

Rachael is truly exceptional. She made me feel like the absolute best version of myself on my wedding day. She struck the perfect balance that so many artists miss polished but still natural, elevated but still completely me. I have never felt more confident or more like myself at the same time. Beyond her talent, the entire experience was incredible. Getting ready with her felt like spending the morning with a close best friend. She created such a calm, fun, and uplifting energy, which made a huge difference on a day that can otherwise feel overwhelming. Everything held up flawlessly through the entire wedding weekend, even through snowboarding, helmets, cold weather, and long hours! That alone felt like a miracle. I truly think both hairstyles were the best I have ever had, and the makeup lasted perfectly all day and night. We received nonstop compliments, even from complete strangers at the hotel, throughout the mountain while snowboarding, and all throughout the town. Rachael is not only an incredibly skilled artist but also someone you genuinely want around on one of the most important days of your life. I would recommend her without hesitation and would absolutely fly her anywhere to work with her again - which we absolutely pray to do!

I have truly no words for how amazing it was to work with Rachael for hair and makeup at my wedding! We also had the pleasure of working with her sister Tara on my wedding day and the two of them were professional, kind, timely, and SO good at their jobs. I had a large bridal party that Rachael managed the timeline for, and it was absolutely seamless. They were even ahead of schedule at one point! Two of my bridesmaids had opted for no makeup, but decided they wanted it done after seeing how amazing everyone looked. Because of the extra time in our timeline, Rachael and Tara were able to accommodate the last-minute request (yikes), but handled it professionally and kindly. The girls felt so beautiful, and three of them said they wish they had people like Rachael and Tara on their wedding day. My hair and makeup lasted the whole day, and I was so sad when I had to take it off at the end of the day! I did a hair and makeup trial with Rachael in Salida and it was also wonderful. I don’t know a lot about makeup, so she was wonderful at explaining everything and helped me brainstorm the best hairstyle for my windy venue. Also, the payment and contract process is straightforward and easy to understand. Thank you Rachael and Tara for making me and my bridal party so beautiful on my wedding day!!!

I met Rachael for my wedding hair/makeup at her studio in Salida on my elopement day. She was friendly, professional, and efficient! I am half-Asian and had worried I wouldn’t be able to find an artist who was familiar with working with my features, but Rachael’s experience working in Atlanta with various ethnicities prior to moving to CO made her a wonderful fit for me! The hair was stunning, held up with wind and running around sand dunes, and the makeup required very minimal touch ups even after 2+ hrs of driving to my elopement destination. It also felt like the right level of glam for someone who doesn’t typically wear more than mascara in the day-to-day. Thanks Rachael!
