About

Makeup By Adele specializes in natural and timeless beauty, servicing the classic bride and women who want to feel confident and like the best version of themselves.

Makeup is my passion. I was the little girl who played with her mom’s makeup - making a huge mess and enjoying every moment of it. Throughout middle and high school, I kept playing with makeup, but now it was something I was becoming good at. I am a self-taught makeup artist and have been in the makeup industry since 2004 (Boy, am I aging myself, ha!). I worked at various department store makeup counters, was an artist for a few cosmetic brands and perfected my craft over the years. Attending FIDM (Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising) honed my eye for color theory and design. In 2008, I started Makeup By Adele because of my love for working with clients - being a small part of their big events brought so much joy.

I believe each makeup application should be customized to accommodate the client and should never change the way a woman looks, but enhance her natural, beautiful features. I work one on one with every client to explore her unique style and vision for how she wants to look on her wedding, special event, or just because! The end result is you: enhanced, beautiful and confident.

I use only the industry's best products and brands such as: Charlotte Tilbury, Urban Decay, MAC, Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, Tarte, Make Up For Ever, Benefit and NARS.

Looking forward to working with you soon!

Bridal Makeup Perfection

Adele was recommended to me by my photographer (who also had Adele do her wedding makeup!) and I am SO happy I was able to work with her! Adele is not only excellent at what she does, but she is a fun, calming, organized, and positive presence to have around during what can be a stressful time. My mom and I (who are not huge makeup wearers) both had trials done with Adele in a studio in Livermore, and Adele took notes and pictures which she sent along to us, including what lipsticks we might want to buy to have on hand. Adele was able to give us a natural-glam look that made us feel fancy but still like ourselves. My mom and I both had small tweaks we wanted to make once the wedding day came, and Adele was incredibly accommodating and absolutely perfected both of our looks!! She was also understanding and professional when my MOH decided last minute that she wanted very little makeup applied at all for a simple look. I could not think of a better MUA for my wedding, I’m so grateful to have found Adele!

#1 makeup artist!!!

Adele was recommended to me by my sister-inlaw who had her bridal makeup done for her own wedding. I was a bridesmaid on that day and also had my makeup done by Adele and absolutely loved it! It was so natural and complementing to my face. When I was planning my own wedding which just happened this past August, Adele was one of the first people I contacted to book. She was able to handle my large bridal party, bringing along a 2nd makeup artist to get through everyone. My trial went super well, it was my first time having a full set of false lashes on and not going to lie, I was nervous. Adele was so sweet and told me to see how I felt an hour after wearing them and she was so right, I didn’t even notice them! Adele showed up on time on the wedding day and was set up to get right to work. All of my wedding party loved their makeup and it stayed on well the entire night! My husband was obsessed with the makeup, as we both aren’t too fond of heavy makeup since I regularly don’t wear anything other than mascara….if that. At the end of the night, it still looked perfect! Adele is the sweetest and I would recommend her to anyone looking for a perfect makeup artist who will help you feel so confident and beautiful on your wedding day!

Perfect Natural Makeup!

Adele was so amazing to work with. She’s warm, calm, and kind. She’s efficient and easy to work with; also a great planner! I told Adele I wanted natural makeup and she executed that perfectly. Would absolutely work with Adele again. She’s also a great value!!
