About

Face of Makeup is a hair and makeup service based out of Salida, Colorado. Your wedding day is arguably your most photographed day, and you need to be photo-ready at all times. The talented artists at Face of Makeup provide beautiful hair styling and stunning makeup application to keep you looking your best for all of your wedding festivities. The team specializes in airbrush makeup application that looks flawless in photos and lasts all day. You may also opt for traditional style makeup, and there are a variety of packages to choose from to fit your wedding day needs.

I (Rachael Hoch) began FaceofMakeup in 2008 after working with another artist in the film industry on a "side gig" that happened to be a wedding. I immediately gravitated towards the enjoyment that I felt having helped someone look and feel their best that normally doesn't get that experience. I felt so proud of what I was able to do for the bride and so fulfilled by the experience. I knew this would be a part of my career forever. Now, having left the film industry after 12 years and relocated out to CO, I am able to turn that into reality! I continued to do weddings throughout my career in television and film and truly found each one to be a passion project more than a job. So, today, I offer you myself and a few other amazing artists that also love to be there with you, that also enjoy the experience, and that also feel fulfilled and proud to be a part of your day! We aren't looking at this as a job, rather an experience that is full of love, laughs, tears, hugs, and all around good times for everyone. We will be part of your group, just there to blend in and help you and your bridal party feel your best and look your best! Most of the brides that we work with end up being friends forever. Take a chance here to look amazing, feel amazing, and meet some great people while you're doing it!

Rachael is Wonderful!

From the moment I reached out to Rachael to the big day, she made everything run smoothly. I love her natural yet glamorous technique and had many compliments on my hair and makeup. I would highly recommend Rachael and Face Of Makeup.

Best experience you could ask for!

We are so grateful to Rachael, Lisa, and Katie for being a part of our wedding day and making everyone who was included in getting their hair and/or makeup done feel beautiful. This team was easily one of my favorite parts of our day and I couldn't believe how flexible and accommodating they were as we had 14 people in the mix. We heard nothing but praises from everyone involved in our wedding party as well, which was so reassuring because that doesn't always happen! We would without a doubt hire Face of Makeup over and over again!

Perfect choice for our destination wedding

We worked with Rachael and Katie on my wedding day. They did hair and makeup for 8 people which included moms, sisters, and flower girls. They did a stellar job and had everything they needed to make us feel comfortable, heard, and feeling beautiful. Ours was a destination wedding (we're from Dallas), but I so wish they lived closer so that I could have my hair and makeup done more frequently by them. They brought a nice and calm vibe to our getting ready time, and it felt like they were part of the family/group. I am very picky about my hair, and Katie nailed it. I couldn't have been happier. Rachael's expertise shines through her work, and I was instantly grateful that I had decided to splurge a little on her services. Our entire group was more than satisfied.
