Curated by Krystal Rae

"Working with Krystal was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day — hands down."
I’m super picky about my makeup, and I’ve never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day. Krystal just got me — from the very first call to the moment she packed up on the big day, she made me feel taken care of, understood, and honestly...like a celebrity.

My makeup was flawless, even after hours of dancing and happy tears. She didn’t just do my face — she calmed my nerves, made me laugh, and handled everything like a total pro. I also really appreciated how organized everything was with the portal and touch-up kit (a lifesaver btw).

If you're a bride who wants to feel confident, pampered, and truly seen — book Krystal. You won’t regret it.

I booked Brides by Krystal Rae because of her portfolio—and she exceeded every expectation. I had bridesmaids of all skin tones, and everyone looked flawless and cohesive. There was zero stress, no rushing, and everything ran on time. Worth every penny.

Krystal Rae was an amazing makeup artist for our wedding on October 3, 2020. She arrived on time and did an amazing job on my mom, mother in law and maid of honor. She even had time to squeeze in a friend. No one wanted to take off their makeup when the night ended. My makeup was beautiful and lasted the entire night. She was also so much more than a makeup artist. She assisted me getting dressed, helped style my dad and assisted the photographers. She is professional and personable. I would highly recommend her and will definitely reach out to her again when I need a special occasion makeup look. Book her for your wedding. You won’t be disappointed!

Hands down, she exceeded my expectations. I hired her because for my wedding day, I still wanted to look like myself because I hate contouring and wanted a make up artist that could enhance my beauty without all of that. She was quick, efficient, punctual and professional. For the most important day such as your wedding day, it’s crucial to hire the right beauty artist that can bring your vision to life. Krystal is confident and has been doing this for a while so I like that she was able to be the expert because it gave me reassurance that I was in good hands. For a bride, that’s important. Also, I hired her to do my bridesmaids make up and I was very pleased. Everyone was beautiful. Thank you Krystal!

We had a last minute bridesmaid make up that she made time for :)

KrystalRae was wonderful ... She was professional and did a wonderful job. My daughters - my 70 year old Auntie were pleased - and so was I..!

So happy I selected Krystal.

Krystal Rae is wonderful to work with! She is responsive, flexible, organized, professional, kind, and talented. Her online system made it really easy to pay and keep track of our communications. We got along wonderfully, and all of my bridesmaids were really pleased with her work. Krystal is adept at working with a variety of races/ethnicities. I loved my wedding makeup and recommend her to brides of all races in Atlanta!

Krystal was recommended to me by someone on Wedding Wire! It was a last minute decision....two weeks until the wedding to be exact. Luckily, she was available. Most importantly she understood what I wanted and came through with the look. The phone consultation was the best! I asked for makeup, but natural. Lol .....my husband was pleasantly surprised and loved the look and he is not a fan of a woman wearing makeup! She also worked with my bridesmaids and a family member who decided THAT day she wanted "the look" as well. Her personality is awesome, which is needed on that special day!!!! Her work is fantastic!!!! I received compliments by my guest who simply said I looked Beautiful. The picture I am using is the face I had at the End of the night. After the rain came down, hours and hours of dancing, constant smiling, few moments of crying, and oh with the lashes peeled off. 😁Thanks again Krystal!!! 😍

Krystal is such a talented makeup artist and amazing person. I reached out to her only 2 months before my wedding and of course she was already booked for the day, but based on her work, there wasn't anyone else I wanted to do my makeup for my special day. Krystal went out of her way over many conversations to figure out a timeline that would allow for our schedules to work! She's extremely professional (prompt responses to questions, showed up early, prepared) and works very quickly without compromising quality. Even with me having slightly oily skin and having to get my makeup done earlier in the morning for my evening wedding, my face was flawless and makeup looked freshly done up until I washed my face that night. I recommend her without hesitation!

Krystal was absolutely AMAZING! I had 3 days of events and Krystal kept me looking flawless all day! She is very organizes and was able to coordinate different looks and locations. Through dancing, sweat and tears, my makeup lasted ALL DAY! Krystal was able to accommodate all of my bridesmaids, my mom, my grandma, and me on my wedding day. She came in early and kept everything on schedule. Everyone looked great. From her lovely personality and calming demeanor to her magical touch with makeup, I could not have asked for a better makeup artist for my big days!!
