Excellent and lovely

I'm nonbinary and vary wildly day to day on how I want to present. Rick was so great to work with. I looked exactly how I wanted, as did my wedding party and family. So easy to work with and fun to laugh with! My SIL snapped the picture of me seeing my makeup done, and I hope you can see just how ecstatic I was. Thank you, Rick!

Amazing fall wedding makeup

Rick is absolutely amazing! He is absolutely worth your money. He is extremely professional, passionate, knowledgeable, and put together. He is very well organized and makes sure everything he does is written down so he gets it perfect the next time. I highly recommend Rick Bancroft! He is Louisville’s finest!

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.

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

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!

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.

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!!

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!
