Hiring a professional hair and makeup artist is not just about hairspray, contouring, and false lashes. Many brides can achieve a look they like with what they have at home or from the drugstore. When you hire a professional artist, you’re investing in peace of mind for your bridal experience. Our team is experienced and thorough, anticipating your needs, what’s coming next, and handling any unexpected hiccups with ease. We provide personalized, thoughtful services tailored to each couple, ensuring you feel heard, seen, and supported throughout your big day.

Drake Artistry Collective is a small team of professional hair and makeup artists specializing in on-location bridal services. Our approach to weddings is a little different from most bridal beauty teams. We focus less on trends, products, and social media techniques and more on listening and working to understand your concerns and vision to create a look that is authentically yours. What makes you feel confident and beautiful? That’s what we want to understand. We want your friends, family, and fiancé to look at you on your wedding day and say, “You are so beautiful,” not, “Your makeup is so beautiful!”

Our comprehensive services are designed to enhance your natural beauty and provide a seamless, stress-free experience. All our makeup services include false lashes, individual cluster lashes, and airbrush application. Additionally, every makeup service comes with a set of brushes for you to keep and a touch-up kit to maintain your look throughout the day. To perfect your bridal look, all our bridal services include a Bridal Preview, where we test and document your chosen style before the wedding, complete with a micro-photo shoot to see how the hair and makeup read in photos.

Drake Artistry Collective is a professional wedding hair and makeup artist in Plymouth, Michigan.

100% would recommend!

I had a multi event Indian wedding with many different outfits-Crystal worked with me to figure out the best makeup for each event. She came prepared and so patiently did everything. The makeup lasted, and looked amazing in the pictures. She also really helped me swap makeup/looks between events efficiently and was so friendly. 100% recommend!

wonderful experience with Crystal and Kaity!

I had a wonderful experience with Crystal and Kaity! Incredibly personable and so easy to work with. They made adjustments along the way, really listened to what I wanted, and made sure all my concerns were addressed. I truly felt heard and cared for. They also offered thoughtful, professional solutions that made everything come together beautifully. Highly recommend!

An amazing experience!!

There are not enough words to express just how amazing my experience with Crystal was! One of my favorite things about the experience was the trial beforehand! It was nice to go in and talk through all of my likes/dislikes when it comes to my makeup and hair. I didn't just show her a picture and say "Okay this is sort of what I want." She actually took the time to break every single detail down with me. She wasn't just "recreating" a photo that I liked and applying that to my face and hair. She was creating a look WITH me. One that made me feel so beautiful and still like myself at the same time :) She is an expert at enhancing the beauty that is already there. ALSO! I know myself and I am an incredibly anxious person who gets stressed easily. The morning of my wedding was no exception. That is, until Crystal arrived. Because we had already done the trial, I knew what to expect and that made me feel so much better. Also! She was just such a calming presence to have with me that morning. Always checking in with me to see how I was doing, making sure I had water, etc. I truly have never felt so beautiful than on the day of my wedding. I owe SO MUCH of that to Drake Artistry Collective. I will ALWAYS recommend this company!

Effortless Elegance

Crystal and her stylists were wonderful to work with! They worked well within our vision and brought levity and professionalism to the preparations and the day itself—keeping us primped, hydrated, and laughing. We had some small scheduling hiccups in the weeks heading up to the event and things were rescheduled and fit in immediately without batting an eye. Everyone's hair and make-up held perfectly throughout the evening without every feeling restrictive. The perfect choice to help our wedding feel and look effortless!

Would Recommend

Drake Artistry Collective did an amazing job on makeup for me, my bridal party, and our moms on my wedding day. I would highly recommend them. During my preview, I didn't have a clear vision for what I wanted, but knew I wanted a natural style. Crystal listened closely and helped me think through options to find a look that felt like me (only better! :)) Crystal is organized, dependable, and also fun to hang out with. The day of my wedding, I felt comfortable and confident, so I could focus on the fun!

Makeup that lasts!

I had an amazing experience with Crystal, Erica, and Carly through Drake Artistry Collective for my wedding. Crystal (who I believe runs the show 🙂) was incredibly accommodating to all my questions and requests, and uber-responsive. When I wasn't fully satisfied with my first makeup trial, she offered her own time to do a follow-up trial when we couldn't make the scheduling work with Erica, and she even went so far as to take videos and extensive notes so Erica would know what to do day-of. Erica did a great job fielding all the comments and requests from my family on the day-of, and Carly absolutely crushed it with my hairdo switch-up for my reception. The best part probably is that I cried SO much during my ceremony and my makeup didn't smudge or run at all. Super high quality and really went above and beyond. Thank you so much for everything you did to make me feel beautiful on my wedding day!!!

Amazing Experience! 10/10 Recommend

Drake Artistry, did the hair and makeup for my wedding and they did an amazing job! The makeup trial was great and the planning forms helped with communication with my out-of-town bridesmaids. The clear communication with Crystal was appreciated and vital to alleviating a lot of my anxieties while planning. By the morning of the wedding, I never doubted my bridal party and I would look beautiful. On the day of the wedding, Kaity and Nicole did an exceptional job. They made an early early morning a fun time and had everyone in and out of the makeup/hair chairs on schedule. I had an artist on retainer up until my ceremony time and Kaity was a delight and kept me sane and hydrated before everything started. Everyone's hair and makeup still looked gorgeous at the end of the night, even after all the crying and partying. I am not someone who wears makeup day-to-day and they made me feel and look like the most beautiful version of myself. Quality service that I knew I could rely on, I could not recommend them more!

Full-Service Bridal Experts

I loved working with Crystal! Makeup & Hair was one of the most important things I wanted to get right for my wedding day. From the initial consultation call, Crystal was very knowledgeable about Asian features and able to provide clear answers to my questions. My trial was long but detail oriented, I loved the way Crystal communicated and was able to give productive advice for my makeup and hair. The day of, my hair and makeup turned out better than I could've imagined. My bridesmaids were also really pleased with their hair and makeup as well. During the retention service, Crystal went above and beyond to keep me hydrated, and provided snacks, and touchups to my hair, makeup, and even my dress! All in all, I highly recommend Crystal and her team to be a part of anyone's wedding day!
