Incredibly Accommodating & Fantastic to Work With

Rachel is amazing! She asked me so many questions throughout my makeup trial run to make sure I was happy with the outcome. She was so kind, easy to talk with, and has a calming presence. On my wedding day she embraced my adjustments to my makeup with ease and was incredibly dedicated to making sure my makeup felt perfect for me! I felt natural and like myself, while still feeling glam! She hit the perfect balance of everything I wanted for my wedding day makeup.

I also cried a lot throughout the wedding day and my makeup was just as flawless at midnight as it was when she did it at 11am! I would recommend Rachel to anyone and everyone who is looking for a makeup artist!

Most Talented Makeup Artist

As someone who never wears makeup and as someone who has struggled with low self-esteem in the past, I have always been nervous about what makeup would look like on me, but Rachel proved to be such a huge blessing on my wedding day. She will melt away any fears that you have, and she will not disappoint. Her work exceeded all expectations for my entire bridal party. I had asked to look natural with a hint of glamorous, and she was able to do that so perfectly. I never felt like I had too much on, and I never felt like I wasn’t myself. She simply brought out our most beautiful potential. Rachel was so sweet and responsive throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was flexible with doing a trial beforehand, and she drove out to our cabin to do our makeup. My makeup even held through all of my happy crying during the day! Choosing her will be one of your best wedding decisions! Thank you Rachel from the bottom of our hearts.

Simply Amazing

Rachel is amazing in everything she does. She has years of experience working on others AND her prices are fair. That’s what first drew me to contact her for my wedding makeup trial. But after I met her and worked with her, I learned that she has SO many other good qualities. First, she always responds back as soon as she can. She was great about working around my schedule. Second, she is super sweet. I love that about her. But what I loved most about her was her professionalism and honesty. She has this way of knowing exactly what you need and want, even when you don’t. She listened to me and what I wanted for my wedding makeup, but she also made suggestions. In the end, what she recommended looked BEAUTIFUL in my wedding pictures. My mom and my bridesmaids loved her! Everyone loved her! Rachel knows what she’s doing, and she will make an impression on you. ❤️

Beautiful Makeup!

Rachel was so great to work with!! I was an out of town bride and she was able to do a trial run on me when I was in town several months before my wedding. The day of, she was able to accommodate several other people who decided to have their makeup done at the last minute. She is so sweet and made me feel so confident and beautiful. I still wanted to look like myself and Rachel gave me a very gorgeous look without going over the top--she even airbrushed my tan lines from my bathing suit before the ceremony. While we were watching our highlight video just a few days ago, my husband actually commented on what a great job she did on my makeup. I would absolutely recommend working with Rachel!

Rachel was awesome!

Rachel did such a great job on my daughters hair and make up for her wedding. She also did my hair and make up as well as a few others. She did an outstanding job on the hair and make up. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again !!

I am so happy I booked Stunning by Rachel to do my makeup for my wedding! I don't normally wear makeup, and I was worried I wouldn't look like myself. However, Rachel absolutely exceeded expectations! I felt like the absolute most beautiful version of myself, and the overall look was so natural and absolutely perfect. She talks you through every step. If you don't like something, she will fix it! She absolutely won't stop until she knows you are 100% happy with the way you look, and that makes such a huge difference! I would absolutely recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a makeup artist - you won't regret it!

Thank you so much Rachel! Having never worn airbrush makeup I didn't know what to expect. I don't wear much makeup on a daily basis but I wanted to look glamorous on my wedding day. Not only did I look glamorous, I felt it. The airbrush makeup lasted allllll night. I sweat from the time I walked down the isle until I took a shower that night. My makeup didn't budge. Rachel also did my hair and as a hairdresser myself, I was so impressed. She nailed it on the first try. I felt the most beautiful I've ever felt and that's exactly what I wanted on my wedding day.

She does an AMAZING job. I loved her and so did my bridesmaids. Super responsive and she is super affordable. I highly recommend her to every bride out there. Her studio is so awesome too. She makes you feel like a starlet getting ready for the oscars.

We have worked with Rachel several times and her Brides always look perfect. She listens to their requests and will keep them more natural, but she also understands how makeup translates in photos so she encourages and explains when a bit more is beneficial. She is great to work with as a client and as a vendor.
