Rachael was so wonderful and fun to work with on my wedding day and beforehand. She’s very prompt, professional and kind and she felt like a part of my friend group immediately! I was so impressed with her work and she made me and my bridesmaids all feel so beautiful. I highly recommend her and would use her again in a heartbeat. -

Amazing Elopement Hair/Makeup
Rachael was incredible. She was easy to communicate with and accommodating of my last minute elopement in Twin Lakes. She was punctual, personable, and in general fun to hang out with while getting ready! She made sure to ask questions about what I wanted my hair and makeup to look like, using reference photos and comparisons. As someone who does not do my hair or makeup hardly ever, I trusted Rachael completely to make me feel my best. She also made my skin look great despite its imperfections. I felt amazing all day! 10/10 recommend! -

Rachael is AMAZING in every way!
I booked Rachael for my adventure sunrise elopement after my other makeup artist pulled out unexpectedly, and rudely. Rachael was great from the start. She assured me she could be there anytime day or night and do hair and makeup for my mom, sister, sister in law, and mother in law for the family ceremony happening later in the day.
Two days before our big day, my face broke out into a horrible, painful heat rash so it was dry, flaky, itchy and painful. I was panicking. Rachael assured me it would be okay and that she does airbrushing so she won't be rubbing my skin and irritating it even more. Rachael showed up to do my HMU at 12:30am for my elopement (mind you we did not do a trial run or anything). She was right on time and SO friendly! I felt like we had been friends forever in the first minutes of our interaction. She found the best lighting in the house, set up, and listened to exactly what I wanted. She truly made me feel like a queen. She kept stopping so I could look at myself in a mirror to make sure I like it. I was worried foundation matching, but once again, she nailed it. My hair was exactly what I wanted, as was my makeup. She even gave me a brand new lip gloss for touch ups.
A few hours later (5:45am) Rachael came back to the house to do the HMU for my mom, sister, sister in law, and mother in law. A few people in that bunch are very hard to please (my mom and sister in law). Well both the hard to please people loved her and loved their hair and makeup. I have never seem my mom think she was beautiful, and Rachael made her feel beautiful. They all loved her and her work.
After everyone went to the venue, I had to come back to get a touch up before our family ceremony. Rachael was there and ready to roll. We wiped off all my face makeup because I felt like my heat rash skin needed it. She redid my makeup, re-curled my hair and I was ready for the next ceremony.
I cannot recommend Rachael enough. She is relatable, funny, knows how to do amazing HMU, and is just a really awesome person. I am so glad my other HMU lady pulled out and left me in the lurch because if she hadn't I would've never gotten to meet Rachael and experience her talent.
Thank you Rachael for making me and everyone else look and feel beautiful! -

With so many things that can go wrong at your wedding, how you look and feel shouldn’t be one of them. Rachael offered a trial prior to my wedding date, but being over 10 hours away I was unable to meet with her beforehand. I put all of my trust into Rachael and she delivered, above and beyond. We had multiple communications leading up to the wedding day, letting her know what I was envisioning, etc. The result was me feeling absolutely stunning from 10 am, when she started, to Midnight when I crawled into bed. The products used were still fresh and in place after 6 hours of outdoor, scenic photos, and a lot of happy tears. On top of the outstanding work that Rachael does, she also has a way of making you feel at ease. Learning about Rachael's experiences and just chatting made the "getting ready" experience even more memorable. I cannot thank Rachael enough for making me look so beautiful on such a special day. -

Rachael was absolutely amazing! From the trial to the wedding she was the absolute best. Rachael is friendly, professional and so talented with hair and makeup. She did the entire bridal party on her own and made everyone look absolutely wonderful. She also did not bat an eye at the minor chaos my dogs decided to bring to the wedding morning. I would highly recommend her to anyone, especially if you want to look and feel like a princess on your special day. :) -

Megan Sent on 07/16/2018Rachael came to my house for the trial just to make my life easier! The wedding makeup was absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted (even when I wasn't sure what that meant, she helped figure it out). She was very responsive, friendly, and reasonably priced. Rachael even helped coordinate the hairdresser because we had nine women who needed hair/makeup; the hairdresser worked seamlessly with her. I highly recommend booking with her. I can't believe I found her on a whim for my Mt. Princeton wedding and I'm so thankful I did!

Rachael made me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. She is sweet, easy to talk to and worked great with both mothers of the bride and groom, who wanted very natural looks and my sister and i who went far more glam. She is such a gem, i never would have guessed i would get such a talented hair and makeup artist so far out in the mountains. I cannot recommend her enough to anyone getting married in the rockies!! -
Mandy Sent on 08/06/2018Rachael was awesome to work with! I found her on Wedding Wire and was so pleased with the results for my wedding. She came to my house in Buena Vista with her associate, Lisa, and both did a fantastic job with mine and my girlfriends' hair and makeup. She was responsive, answered my many many questions. I would definitely recommend her for all your wedding hair needs!

We are so grateful to Rachael, Lisa, and Katie for being a part of our wedding day and making everyone who was included in getting their hair and/or makeup done feel beautiful. This team was easily one of my favorite parts of our day and I couldn't believe how flexible and accommodating they were as we had 14 people in the mix. We heard nothing but praises from everyone involved in our wedding party as well, which was so reassuring because that doesn't always happen! We would without a doubt hire Face of Makeup over and over again! -

Amazing work
I cannot recommend FaceOfMakeUp enough. I got married a couple weeks ago and Lisa and Katie did an incredible job. I booked with Rachael over a year ago and she was responsive, professional, and super easy to work with! Day of, Lisa and Katie came to our Airbnb to do hair and make up for myself, 4 bridesmaids, and my mother and MIL. They were on time, SO friendly and kind, and worked so quickly and efficiently. Everyone looked so beautiful, I was blown away. They exceeded my expectations! If you are looking for hair and make up in the Salida area, this is who you want! -

Ann Sent on 07/11/2018Rachael is simply amazing!! She did such a incredible job with my makeup, bridesmaids, my mother and mother in law. She was extremely easy to work with and very responsive to emails and texts. I was so incredibly happy with my makeup on the day of my wedding! I just simply cannot say enough good things about her! You'd be crazy not to hire her!!

Christina Sent on 08/08/2012Rachael Hoch, with Face of Make-up, did such a fabulous job on hair and make-up for my wedding! She was a pleasure to work with- from the first trial until the actual wedding day. Rachael is so friendly, and fun to be around, which is a huge plus considering you spend the first part of your big day witih her! Everyone's make-up looked flawless. I would highly recommend Rachael to anyone getting married, or that needs their make-up done for a special event! -

I highly recommend Rachael for your wedding! She did a fabulous job styling my hair for the wedding, it looked beautiful and even withstood 40-50 mph winds! She was a pleasure to plan and spend time with on my wedding day. My only regret is that she didnt do my makeup as well, as I only learned she did makeup when she was styling my hair. Thank you again Rachael for helping to make our wedding day so special and perfect -

Wonderful makeup for my wedding
Rachael was a dream to work with. She was easy to reach and make an appointment with, even on a day that was already busy for her. She also took all of my thoughts and ideas into account and made sure it looked exactly as I was hoping. I was initially hesitant about airbrushing, but I really loved how it looked! And it felt great! It came out looking natural yet appropriate for the day--with a killer red lip! I loved it. Rachael was also wonderful to work with, made me feel relaxed and in good hands. Thank you! -
