Michaela Sent on 06/01/2023Simply the best.
Rachel and her team are the best around for make-up and her positivity is contagious. She will make you feel comfortable and beautiful the entire time. And my girls who were in my wedding LOVED HER and her team for their own make-up as well. Rachel is my favorite of anyone who's ever done my make-up (in my whole life) and I'm so so happy I chose her for my big day. I felt so beautiful at both my trial (which I used for my engagement photos) and my wedding day. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to feel their absolute most beautiful on their wedding day. Rachel has a way of enhancing natural beauty and not just covering you up with tons of makeup. 11/10. Thank you, Rach!!! -

I 👏🏻 can 👏🏻 not 👏🏻 stress 👏🏻 enough. You need to book Rachel for your wedding day makeup. During my trial I showed Rachel how I normally wear my makeup - not only did Rachel take what I was comfortable with - BUT MAKE IT GLAM - every single person in my wedding party looked so so beautiful and amazing! Looking back at my pictures I feel like I looked like the best glammed out super model version of myself. Rachel and her team were so wonderful to work with, it felt like my best friends were doing my makeup.
If you want one less likely thing to worry about on your wedding day, you won’t think twice about picking CMG as part of your glam squad. -

Amazing!! Best Makeup Artist Around
I dont even know where to start this review. My experience with Rachel and Color Me Gorgeous was perfect. I didn’t know much about the makeup industry and I was referred to Rachel by someone else. I booked a trial with her and fell in love. She is extremely sweet and did an amazing job. She answered any questions I had beforehand and ensured I received exactly what I wanted on my wedding day. There was a snowstorm the day of my wedding and the roads were awful but Rachel kept me updated (which helped a lot with my stress levels) and ensured she arrived as quickly as she could to ensure all of my girls got their makeup done and felt beautiful. Her assistant Grace was very nice and helpful as well. All of my girls loved their makeup and we were receiving compliments all night. My favorite part was that Rachel saved my make up for last and spent extra time on my look to really perfect it. She really loves and cares about her brides and I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to do my make up for such a special day. I can’t say thank you enough!!! And if you’re questioning whether or not to book Color Me Gorgeous, DO IT! -

I am not one that wears makeup everyday and wasn't totally sure what I wanted. After our trial I felt so relieved knowing I was in good hands. I am so thankful that Rachel was able to create exactly the look I had wanted, and even more so. All of my bridesmaids and mothers felt and looked so beautiful. Thank you so much Rachel & Grace for making us all feel so beautiful on my special day. -

She slayedddd my makeup as well as my bridesmaids. We all felt beautiful all night, and received SO many compliments. -

Absolutely amazing. I hired Rachel based off other amazing reviews for my initial 10/2020 wedding. When we postponed due to COVID, Rachel was super understanding and easily transferred everything to our new date.
As for the day of, Rachel and her assistant, Grace, were amazing. They really listed to everyone getting their makeup done, and created amazing looks. I was a little nervous about my makeup being heavy and there were a few things I wanted to change from our trial look, and Rachel took all of my concerns on board and created an absolutely beautiful look that was perfect. Not too heavy, we’ll blended, and glamorous without being over the top. She was also super easygoing and her calm vibe really kept myself and the rest of bridal party calm during a day that is full of moving parts and stress. I cannot say enough good things about her!! -

If you want to feel like an absolute STAR on your wedding day – go book Rachel right now! I am an out-of-state bride, so I was relying heavily on the before and after photos of makeup artists. Rachel is a true magician and I promise you the photos are a true reflection of her work. I have been in multiple weddings – and one thing that stood out about Rachel on my own wedding day is that she helped out with all of my girls! I had seven bridesmaids, my mother and my mother-in-law and Rachel was involved in everyone, so you really are getting her work throughout! I hadn’t had this experience with other makeup artists in weddings that I was in – so it goes to show you how passionate and caring Rachel is about her work. I have never felt more beautiful than I did on my wedding day and I am looking for an excuse to come back to New York and book her again! I can also attest to her makeup holding up to heat, sweat, rain and wind – lasted the entire day with my trial in the summer & my rainy wedding day in the fall! Rachel is so kind & makes you feel at ease. She has her bride’s back 100% and will be the perfect hype girl for your day!
*all the photos attached are raw, unedited iPhone pictures to really show you her work from both trial & wedding day! -

Colored to absolute perfection!
Rachel did the makeup for my sister’s wedding and we were all flawless. The care that went into every brushstroke was nothing but pure artistry. Our makeup lasted all night and into the wee hours! Do not hesitate to book Rachel & her glam squad! -

I met Rachel when I was a bridesmaid in my friends wedding last year. As soon as I sat down in Rachel’s chair I knew I was in amazing hands. Fast forward and now I am getting married! I missed out on booking Rachel for my own wedding but I knew I could book her for my engagement pictures! Rachel came to my apartment and transformed me into a goddess! Rachel is the kindest and most talented person. She has a gift on making you look so beautiful while still looking yourself. I was so nervous and Rachel talked my through everything. Being in her chair truly feels like you’re hanging out with a friend. I look forward to any future event that I can book Rachel for. I HIGHLY recommend Rachel for any makeup service you could need!
P.S as soon as you have your date book her IMMEDIATELY! You will not regret it -

Rachel did my makeup twice, and was AMAZING both times! One was for a photoshoot, and the other was for our wedding. Rachel showed up, ready to roll, both times, with no excuses. For my photoshoot she was sick with food poisoning and still showed up! The makeup for my wedding was flawless, and it stayed on all day, through the crazy heat and humidity, and all the happy tears. You're a rockstar Rachel and I can't thank you enough for making me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world! -

I adored my wedding day makeup look thanks to Color Me Gorgeous!
One of the best decisions I made for my wedding day was hiring Rachel and her team at Color Me Gorgeous! Throughout the booking process, Rachel was incredibly professional and flexible with me. Rachel took the time to listen to my makeup preferences and any concerns I had. On the morning of my wedding, Rachel created an assembly line to get all 14 of us- yes 14- ready in a timely fashion. By using the assembly line, each girl had makeup freshly applied before we headed to the church. Rachel took the time to listen to each of my girls and made sure that their makeup was something they loved and felt comfortable in.
I cannot emphasize how much I loved the makeup I had on my wedding day. Rachel’s work exceeded my expectations and I can’t overstate the quality of her makeup artistry. It felt light and natural, like my skin could breathe. I really felt like the best version of myself on my wedding day thanks to Rachel’s magic touch! Not only is Rachel insanely talented at her craft- her bubbly, friendly personality sets her apart. She was such a calming and fun presence on my wedding morning. She kept my mind off of all the craziness by talking to me, making me laugh, and telling me stories. I could not recommend Rachel more highly! -

Tara T. Sent on 08/01/2021The best decision I made 10/10
I booked Rachel for my wedding on 7/10/2021 and I could not be happier with my make up and the entire experience. Rachel worked with me to reschedule my wedding date during COVID and was accommodating to the needs of me and my 10 person bridal party. The morning of the wedding went seamless and Rachel had a calming presence which made me (the bride) and the rest of my crew very comfortable and not nervous! My make-up was so flawless all night and at 2AM when the wedding festivities finally ended it was still perfect. Highly recommend booking Rachel and Color Me gorgeous for your make-up!!! -

Rachel was amazing! My mom and I both did a trial with her a month or two before the wedding. It was really nice because we got familiar with her style and got to trial of make up experience. I wanted a bold, orangey red lipstick that would stay put but Rachel didn't have the perfect one for me. Rachel explained that she has well-versed at mixing color to create whatever we need but encouraged me to go home and find the perfect shade of lip that I wanted. When I found it and brought it to the wedding day, Rachel confirmed it was the perfect red! Otherwise, we all wanted simple, beautiful, fresh makeup and that is what we got! No one was upset with their makeup- everyone felt like their best selves.
When applying to make up the day of, she was in the background the entire morning working but didn’t interfere with us as we got ready and bonded. Every time a girl would go up to get her make up done they had an intimate chat session with her. When it was my time to go up, I was very overwhelmed at that point. She could tell that I was and said that it’s common that by the time the bride gets their make up done they are really anxious and overwhelmed. She did a breathing exercise with me and told all of the bridesmaids but this was a special time where we needed peace and not to interrupt her when doing my make up. It was a really valuable moment so I could re-center. I couldn’t believe how in tune Rachel was in that moment. She was the perfect grounding presence I needed.
Besides her amazing personality and flawless work ethic, her work is incredible! Every girl had the perfect soft glam look. All of our make up lasted throughout the evening. I slept with mine and even wore it to our day after party and it was still perfect including my eyelashes!
Rachel is inclusive, and makes you feel comfortable. She even offered to apply a thin layer of foundation on my very butch wife, who doesn't wear makeup ever. She didn't end up choosing to do this, but it was sweet that she offered!
I was so lucky I went with Rachel and would recommend her to anyone near and far. Believe the hype.
Rachel- thank you so very much. You made my morning so special and I will appreciate our time together forever. -

Where to start? My experience with Rachel was a total dream- start to finish. I had the honor of having her do my bridal makeup and my dream became a reality! She truly is THE makeup professional and then some! Rachel is creative, friendly, on trend, and works with you to give you the bridal look of your dreams! Not to mention she is super sweet & a ton of fun during the process. All of the makeup was perfection & I received compliments ALL night. My bridesmaids looked stunning as well. I just can’t say enough wonderful things about Rachel- she will bring your vision to life, flawlessly! Highly recommend booking with her! Thank you for your artistry! -

Literally speechless
Not sure where to even start. Rachel and her team not only made me feel beautiful, but made my friends feel their most beautiful self, seeing my friends cry over how they look after such a trying few years was more than I could ever ask for. I’ve never felt so beautiful in my life I couldn’t even look at myself in the mirror without crying, but don’t worry Rachel has that covered too. She is a TRUE PRO, everyone GETS Rachel, she also makes you feel comforted, and has ALL the things and prepared for the big day. This experience wouldn’t have been nearly as amazing without her and I don’t know how I could ever re pay her! She is a true artist, caring, and talented human! Anyone would be lucky to have booked her. -

Rachel was recommended by another artist for my wedding day makeup. She was incredible, professional and easy to communicate with! My makeup came out so well and I got so many compliments. My whole bridal party had their makeup done by Rachel - Once people saw her work they also wanted their makeup done! She even graciously accommodated 2 unplanned bridesmaids. The makeup lasted ALL NIGHT too, i added a photo of my matron of honor from the after party and you can see her makeup stayed perfect all night! I can’t recommend her enough and plan to get my makeup done by her for future events! -

Sarah S. Sent on 09/23/2020Amazing Virtual Lesson!
My mom and I both did virtual makeup lessons with Rachel. I normally don’t wear makeup so I was concerned about doing my own makeup for my microwedding this year. She made the process so easy and effortless! First we texted to figure out what makeup I needed to buy based on the natural look I was looking to achieve. Next, Rachel met my mom and I on Zoom and walked us through the process and the products. Rachel graciously shared her knowledge in a very approachable way! I’m so excited that I finally feel confident doing my own makeup. I highly recommend Color Me Gorgeous!!
