About

Creative. Professional. Warm. Perfectionist. Outgoing. I am an experienced, gifted freelance make up artist serving the Hampton Roads community. After becoming a rising star in the Tidewater theater community with the Hurrah Players, I quickly discovered the need for a talented, flexible make up artist in the area.

I was always an artistic child growing up. I started by drawing simple cartoons or portraits, and then branched out onto bigger canvases. It wasn't until high school, in a theatre production, that i realized makeup is just another medium and the canvas was the face. And that's when my LOVE of makeup started. I absolutely enjoyed the thought of transforming someones face into a beautiful piece of art. Little did I know that this would be my future career...

Ray served as the make-up artists for my August 2014 wedding. I could not have been more pleased with his prices, professionalism and artistry.

I appreciated having a pre-wedding session where he took his time with me to get my desired wedding day look months before the big day. I also appreciated how patient and detailed he was with beautiful looks for not only me, but all 5 of my bridesmaids!

The quality of his work speaks for itself, but I remind all my friends to book him for their special occasions too. Ray is hands down the best make up artist I've seen in Hampton Roads area.

Raymond did my make up for my wedding. I had never had my make up professionally done before and generally do not wear a lot of make up on a day to day basis so I was la little nervous. Raymond put me at ease and really kept in mind my overall vision throughout the process. At both the pre wedding consultation and on the big day Raymond was professional, kind, and made me feel so special. I recommend him to any bride who wants to look gorgeous on her wedding day and have a really fun and easy experience at a fantastic price! I would definitely use Raymond again for any other type of event. It should also be noted that because of the way my wedding was structured I had my make up done at 8 am and my make up lasted PERFECTLY until after midnight when I finally took it off. People were shocked at how good my make up looked after a full day of happy tears and dancing. Thanks Raymond Alexander Artistry for making the best day of my life even that much better.

Ray did an amazing job with my make up for my wedding!! I have never had my make up done before and he talked me through everything. He made sure that prior to the actual date to moisturize and overall to be sure my skin was well nurished! I have extremely dry skin and he took extra measures to make sure that the right products were being used and not to irritate my skin. I was extremely happy with how my make up turned out! I always thought that make up on me wasn't pretty and I could never pull off looking good in make up, but I felt beautiful and confident on my wedding day. I couldn't have asked for a better make up artist!!!
