About

Based in Hazel Green, Alabama, Songbird Artistry by Rita Lorraine is a wedding makeup service. Rita Lorraine Parks, who goes by Lorraine, is the professional behind the company. Originally an opera singer, this artist has now been crafting makeup looks for clients for more than seven years. At the age of 12, she was first inspired by the idea of makeup and bridal beauty when she saw her cousin have her makeup done for her big day. She loved seeing how makeup was used to highlight her cousin's innate beauty and decided that she wanted to do the same for others.

Songbird Artistry by Rita Lorraine offers packages for the nearly wed, their parents, and the wedding party. Lorraine can also provide makeup services for individuals for other special events, such as bridal showers, engagement photo sessions, quinceañeras, school formals/dances, or any other special occasions you can think of!

Great service

My makeup was done beautifully, and she is a very nice and conversational person which makes the time fly while you are sitting in the chair. People kept asking who did my makeup!

Natural and Etherial makeup

I am SO glad I went with Rita who was absolutely amazing and obviously knows what she’s doing. I used her for my engagement pictures where I wanted a glam look and she did amazing makeup that looked beautiful on camera with dark berry lipstick.

Alternatively, I really wanted my wedding makeup to look more natural and glowy in person despite being a full face of makeup. It’s VERY rare that someone can create a makeup look that accentuates your natural beauty without it looking cakey, especially as makeup must be heavy to show up on camera.

She did a perfect job balancing this and was honest about what makeup was necessary to look nice in photos. I looked exactly like myself, just more beautiful without looking overdone. The pictures turned out perfectly and I didn’t look at all washed out or oily. She was very prepared, asking me ahead of time what I wanted and making sure to have products to do this on hand. She was professional, helpful, and knowledgeable and I highly recommend her!

Beautiful makeup & friendly

I have had Lorraine do my makeup on multiple special occasions and she does a great job making me feel beautiful and relaxed! As a mom of two, it can be hard to feel pretty but Lorraine was able to do that. She takes her time and makes sure that you love how you look! I even hired her to do my best friends makeup for an event!

LOVE!!!!!!

I would recommend Rita to everyone I know- and don't know! I decided kinda last minute that I wanted a MUA and she was very responsive. I didn't really have a vision for what I wanted, more of the mood I wanted it to give, and she was able to deliver perfectly!

Absolutely fantastic!

Loved Lorraine! She did a fantastic job with everyone’s makeup. Had special sparkly eyeshadow for the flower girl 🥰 the touch up kits were perfect to keep us looking our best all day. Such a fantastic person to work with. Great communication and super personable. Highly recommend.

Awesome makeup artist.

She listened well to what I wanted on my wedding day. She was instrumental to the day being a success. I would definitely have her do my makeup again for any other event in the future.

Do yourself a favor and HIRE HER!

One of the most important things that matter to brides is how they look on their wedding day. Lorraine made me feel nothing short of the most beautiful bride on my wedding day. The conversation was great and it was truly a great experience.

Wedding makeup artist

Lorraine did an amazing job at my wedding. She made sure everything went smoothly and was on time. She also made me and the rest of the bridal party feel comfortable and pretty. I would hire her all over if I had to do it again!
