    A Professional that’s worth it!

    Rick was an absolutely wonderful artist to work with! He was able to bring out my best and make feel comfortable and gorgeous! My bridal party loved working with him. He brought a great atmosphere to the whole day. Would recommend him without hesitation!

    Amazing Artist

    I booked Rick for my bridal makeup and I have never loved my makeup as much as I did on my wedding day. He did a fabulous job! I got so many compliments on my makeup the whole night. I literally didn’t even have to touch anything up, not even my lipstick. It was amazing.

    Makeup by Rick Bancroft's reply:

    I cannot thank you enough for your wonderful review. You looked absolutely stunning. I loved your dress. I am so grateful that I was able to do your make up and be part of your fabulous day. I look forward to seeing you again for family, photos or baby bump pictures!

    Great artist and person! Had a blast.

    I had a makeup trial today and I got a ton of compliments. The makeup lasted through the day, the gym, and it still looks phenomenal! Rick is patient, funny, and he was so fun to work with! Excited to get my makeup done again in a few months for one of the most special days of my life. I highly recommend Rick!

    Makeup by Rick Bancroft's reply:

    I cannot wait for your special day! I love when I hear that your makeup lasted through the gym! Hit it girl! Work that fitness! Thank you for choosing me as your makeup artist!

    The Very Best!

    Rick made the entire wedding party GORGEOUS! From the air brush to the eyelashes….stunning! Wedding was August 2019, extremely hot and very humid and yet our make up stayed beautiful. Friendly, professional and a true artist! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Using him again for my daughter's wedding in November 2019

    My son was getting married and i was concerned that my makeup wouldnt hold up from 11:00 am until the wedding that evening at 7:00 pm, to my amazement it held up longer than that and i had to remove it when I was ready for bed. He is superior at his work and flawless makeup, never thought i could look so fabulous and I got many compliments at the wedding and I would strongly recommend him to anyone looking for flawless application! Thanks Rick for making this special day even more relaxed for me by applying my makeup.

    Makeup by Rick Bancroft's reply:

    Ruth you and your family were fantastic. It was such a pleasure to meet your mother your sister and yourself. I had so much fun with you guys I’m so glad that everything turned out great. I love to hear that my work held up all day long that is my goal In life!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Amazing! Rick is an absolute blast and made me at ease on my wedding day knowing my girls and I were in good hands. He ROCKED flawless faces for 6 bridesmaids, myself & my mom. I loved my makeup. Our wedding was in July so it was hot... but through the 97 degree temps, wedding day tears, and dance party... my makeup was still perfect when I got back to the hotel at 4am after some post reception fun!! Would recommend him again & again!!

    Makeup by Rick Bancroft's reply:

    Thank you so much for taking the time to review me. We had a lot of fun that morning. It’s great to have a job or you have fun and make people so happy! Thanks again for hiring me.

    Ladies! Do yourselves a favor and book Rick for your wedding, he is absolutely amazing and made all of us look so gorgeous! My makeup literally lasted ALL DAY, it took some serious scrubbing to remove so it looked perfect in every picture. That alone is worth the cost but he is also such a wonderful and fun person to have helping you get ready. At one point my veil was missing, MISSING (luckily we did find it), but he even had a contact who could help me get a replacement veil if need be. I know it seems pricey but it is honestly worth every penny!

    Makeup by Rick Bancroft's reply:

    Thank you so much for reviewing me! It was my total pleasure being part of your special day. You looked beautiful and I'm so glad your mom found me by searching online. I wish you much joy and love in your marriage.

    Rick applied makeup for my daughter and one bridesmaid for my daughter's wedding. They both looked beautiful. Rick is very personable and easy to work with.

    Rick did the makeup for me, my mom and my bridesmaids for my wedding in May and I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist! Everyone looked beautiful and our makeup looked perfect from beginning to end. He made sure that we were all happy with our makeup before he left, was very personable and great to work with. Would highly recommend!!

    Makeup by Rick Bancroft's reply:

    Chelsea, I know at first you were both concerned because you had a bad experience with your trial run with another artist. I could see the fear on your face when you sat down. I am so glad we talked about what you wanted, I charted out your entire look and the smile on your face when you saw yourself was priceless! I just loved working with you. Thank you for having me be part of your wedding day.

    Had my trial run with Rick this week for my wedding and I am so in love with the makeup he did! I couldn't stop looking at it in the mirror. I worked out for 45 minutes a few hours later and my makeup was still perfect! He is amazing and I highly recommend him!

    Makeup by Rick Bancroft's reply:

    I thoroughly enjoyed meeting you and your mom. I told you my makeup DOES NOT MOVE...LOL! I am so glad I was able to make you so happy. I just hate when someone has a bad trial run with another artist. I want us all to succeed but my most important goal is that you are so happy that you would NEVER dream of leaving me. I cannot wait for you wedding you are going to look SOOO PRETTY!

    Rick is amazing! We used him for my sister's wedding and my wedding. He is fun, amazing, honest, and flexible. I would recommend him to any of my friends. Will also use him for any event, photo shoot, etc.

    Makeup by Rick Bancroft's reply:

    You have no idea how wonderful it was to be a part of your wedding. You, your mom and your sister have become more than clients to me you will always be friends. Thank you for having me as part of your big day. xoxox

    Rick is AMAZING!!! Being in the industry I knew from the first time I meant him that he was going to do my wedding make up when that day came. Not only is he fabulous at what he does he has a great personality and makes the primping process prior to the wedding so much fun! There was so much laughter in the room and it was a very stress free morning (even with me waking up a little late and not hearing him knocking on my hotel room door...oops sorry about that.) All of my girls and the moms loved their make up and kept saying how much fun he was, as well as how pretty they all looked. Even my dad liked him and got a little make up done to cover up some age spots. I have referred him to so many of my friends and they all love him. Hopefully I have another event coming up some time so I can have some fun and get my make up done again. Oh and a very important note...my make up did not move...it looked great at the end of the night too. After a full night of not leaving the dance floor and lots of sweat :)

    Makeup by Rick Bancroft's reply:

    Your wedding was one of the highlights of my year. Everyone was so nice and I had just as much fun as you did. That's what a wedding is supposed to be ..FUN! I'm so glad I get to do a job where I love what I do and you of all people know how important that is. I have made a friend in you that is for sure. Thank you so much for your kinds words!

    Rick was wonderful to work with! He did makeup for my wife and I, our bridesmaids, the mother-of-the-bride, and our flowergirl. He was very affordable and easy to work with. Our makeup looked absolutely gorgeous, and I couldn't have dreamed of a better wedding. I felt like a princess and Rick did a great job making me look like one as well. I'd recommend him to anyone who is looking for a makeup artist in the Louisville area.

    Rick Bancroft does an incredible job! Everyone in my bridal party loved their makeup and looked fantastic. I wanted to look like the best version of myself on my wedding day, without being overly done up and Rick nailed it. The makeup looked great, stayed on all night and photographed well. Highly recommend.

    Makeup by Rick Bancroft's reply:

    What a great day we had! It was so nice with everyone there to support you ...and those flowers! You couldn't have looked more beautiful. Your picture is in my studio on my wall. Thank you!

    Rick is amazing! Completely professional yet still comfortable & fun to work with. His techniques make you look flawless for your special day. My bridesmaids and I had a blast working with him, and felt so gorgeous with the final product. Whatever your preferences are, listen to his expertise, he know's precisely what he's doing and what will look best for your face type, structure, and coloring. Trust in him, you won't be disappointed!

    I cannot say enough good things about Rick Bancroft's work or his professionalism! Brides-to-be look no further, Rick is your makeup artist. My husband and I had to bump up our wedding date because he is in the military and received orders to move. Rick was very accommodating on such short notice and squeezed me in for my engagement photos and wedding makeup. He made me feel beautiful and my pictures were STUNNING as a result of his work. His contouring technique accentuates your beauty and stands out in photos. I've used airbrush makeup in the past and the results do not come near to what Rick can achieve. Also, Rick is very professional. He will answer any questions you have and send friendly reminders that he will be there for your big day. This was so reassuring as a bride with everything I had to deal with. I would be happy to share photos if anyone would like to see them. We are having a big reception next year, since we had a small wedding, and I already have Rick booked for a third time.

    Rick did an amazing job on my wedding makeup. My dad, who rarely gives compliments, said I looked like a movie star! He also did the makeup for my attendants, my mom, and my mother-in-law. We all felt beautiful after he had worked his makeup magic on us.

    Rick is very personable and professional. We had a pre-wedding make-up party with catered lunch and make-up for the bride, 3 bridesmaids, mothers of bride and groom and 2 aunts. We all looked wonderful for wedding portraits, We also used 2 stylists from our favorite hair salon. It was a great time! Thanks to Rick and his fantastic sense of humor we will never forget it!

    Booking Makeup by Rick Bancroft was the best wedding planning decision I ever made! Rick is so easy to work with and extremely talented. I was very nervous about my wedding pictures as I am what they call a "mature bride" :) Rick made me feel beautiful and my photos were amazing. The thing about Rick, is that he wants you to look like you. Bottom line, you still look like you but better than you have ever looked! Rick is professional, punctual and fun - he will put you at ease in minutes. The makeup he applies feels light, but it lasts all day, mine lasted from 1pm until 12am when I had to remove it! You will not regret booking Makeup by Rick Bancroft for your event.

    The one and only Rick Bancroft transformed stunning women into goddesses! Best of all he did it with wit and joy. Many of us are over producers in the tears of joy department and his makeup never betrayed us.

    Rick has a natural talent and truly made me feel breathtaking on my wedding day. My makeup stayed on all night long and highlighted my natural features beautifully. He is the best makeup artist for people if all ages also! My mom would pay to have him do her makeup on a daily basis and my bridesmaids loved their makeup so much they are using him for their weddings! He is very professional and worth every penny!
