    The Kindest Makeup Artist!

    Tricia was incredible for my wedding day makeup! I rarely wear makeup, but she made me feel so comfortable and confident throughout the process. I specifically chose her for her ability to enhance natural beauty, and she delivered perfectly. She made me feel absolutely beautiful while still looking like myself.
    She also did amazing work on all my bridesmaids, and they were thrilled with how they looked. Tricia is so kind and personable that getting ready in the morning was genuinely fun. Chatting with her made the whole experience so enjoyable and relaxing.
    What really impressed me was how she exceeded expectations. She extended her time in the morning so I could capture more preparation photos when the photographer arrived, and even assisted my matron of honor with her dress.
    Her talent for creating natural, beautiful looks combined with her wonderful personality made her the perfect choice. You can tell she truly cares about her brides and their friends and family. I highly recommend Tricia for anyone looking for a makeup artist who will enhance your natural beauty!

    Tricia Clarke - THE BEST!

    I don’t have enough words to express how incredible Tricia was on my wedding day. Not only did she make me look and feel absolutely flawless with the most perfect hair and makeup I could have dreamed of, but she brought such an incredible energy to the day that she genuinely felt like a member of the bridal party.
    From the moment she arrived, she created a calm, joyful atmosphere that made the whole morning feel relaxed, fun, and stress-free—for me, my bridesmaids, our moms, and even my grandma. Speaking of my grandma—Tricia somehow found time to do her hair and makeup too (even though she wasn’t scheduled) and didn’t even charge us. It was such a thoughtful, generous gesture that meant the world to Nanny!
    But what truly sets her apart is the way she went above and beyond all day long. She stayed with me throughout the wedding day—touching up my makeup and hair, holding up a fan to keep me cool, fixing my dress, carrying my purse, and making sure everyone around me stayed calm and happy. She was my personal hype woman, glam squad, and honorary bridesmaid all rolled into one.
    Tricia is not only incredibly talented but also one of the kindest, most uplifting people I’ve ever met. I genuinely hope I’ll have another chance in my life to work with her again. Brides—book her if you can. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Amazing experience & outcome!

    Tricia and Korena were a dream to work with. From my bridal preview through the wedding, they were responsive, supportive, and so fun to be with on the day-of getting ready. My bridesmaids and mom loved their outcomes as well, and all are fairly "particular" about their looks. They were wonderful to work with and I would recommend them to anyone in the Chicagoland area!

    Stress free bridal makeup

    Tricia came HIGHLY recommended by my photographer and when I looked her up, she was exactly who I was hoping to find - and somehow still available for my date! I was late finding a makeup artist for my wedding because I was struggling to find someone who I thought would be a good fit. I needed an artist who could do makeup for myself, my mom, and my MIL (and all with very different preferences). Most wedding makeup I've seen is pretty bold and glam - this just isn't me. I don't wear a ton of makeup regularly so I didn't want such a transformation that I felt unrecognizable. Tricia has such a talent for creating natural makeup that looks and feels amazing in person and photographs beautifully!

    I barely knew how to describe what I wanted beyond "bridal makeup that still looks like me, but better, but still me" but this seemed to be Tricia's expertise, so I decided to skip a trial and trust her to do her thing. I found my inspo photos from Tricia's portfolio to give her an idea of what I liked and I highly recommend everyone do this! She knew what products she had used for some of the looks so she was able to quickly zero in on a palette.

    Tricia was also great with feedback. When she was done and showed me the final look, it was a bit of a shock since I didn't see it in progress. She helped me figure out that it was probably the lip line that was just a little exaggerated from my natural line. She eased it back a little and then recommended I let it all sink in while I was getting my hair done. Seeing everything come together was really helpful and I knew she had nailed it! My mom (simpler, understated look) and MIL (more glam) both loved their makeup too - Tricia can do anyone!

    Not only is Tricia an amazing makeup artist, she is also very professional - well organized, prompt communication, and an efficient process start to finish. She was also such a fun personality to get ready with the morning of my wedding, I am so glad I found her!

    You But Better

    If you are trying to find a bridal makeup artist in Chicagoland, look no further! Tricia did makeup for my wedding at Room 1520 in Chicago, IL in June 2024 for myself, my stepmom, and mother-in-law. Everyone looked perfect! I am only posting photos of me as I don’t have permission from the other ladies she made look wedding gorgeous.

    I have many allergies and she was very conscientious of ensuring I was safe with the products she was using. The trial was an excellent day to test all products, wear time of the makeup, and any tweaks for the actual day. Tricia keeps her kit extremely clean, tidy, and organized as any fantastic makeup artist should!

    She was early on the day, relaxed, fun, and made everyone at ease. I have multiple friends who have worked with Tricia and all of them have had the same experience. She is fantastic. You will not regret it!

    Natural makeup at its finest

    I connected with Tricia for a private make up lesson in my home. I wanted to learn and master natural looking makeup and specifically a 5 min face that could be elevated to a night time look. Tricia was amazing! She hosted a quick zoom prior to our lesson to learn about my goals for this class. On the day of she was punctual and sooo organized. Her kit is unreal. Everything was meticulous, clean and ready to go. She color matched me for all products we used. Had a step by step sheet that we filled in as we went with products that were used. She also went through all of my current makeup products to update me on what works well for me and what needed to go. The lesson was 2 hours and flew by! She has been in contact since to answer questions I had about some products to purchase. She’s amazing. So happy I did this!

    The Best Wedding Glam Squad

    Tricia and her team were the bridal glam squad of my dreams! They did hair and make-up for me (the bride), my bridesmaids, my mom, and my mother-in-law for my wedding. Tricia was incredibly professional, organized, and easy to work with throughout the entire process. I appreciated that she allowed my mom and I to do a trial of our hair and make-up before the wedding to ensure we would love the final looks. Additionally, she provided a detailed schedule and guidelines for the morning of the big day, which was extremely helpful for planning. Tricia and her team brought so much fun, positive energy to the trial and the "getting ready" portion of the wedding. They invited us to share inspiration photos while also helping us each to find a custom look that best fit our features and the wedding aesthetic. With our hair and make-up done, we all felt glamorous and confident while still looking like “ourselves” (vs. too “done-up”). We were all very pleased with our final looks, and they lasted all day - even through being outside for extended periods in 80-degree weather and hours of dancing!

    Perfect hair and makeup!

    I cannot recommend Tricia Clarke Bridal enough! I was looking for a more natural look and they nailed it. I was debating bridal hair but once I did a hair preview I knew it was a fit. Lauren (makeup) and Kristina (hair) were fabulous. Tricia was also very responsive and great to work with. Thank you!!!!

    The absolute BEST!

    My entire wedding party had such a fantastic experience with Tricia. She made every one of us feel beautiful with natural makeup looks. The looks lasted all day and night and were focused on elevating everyone’s natural beauty, which is what we wanted! She was very professional, communicative, and overall did such an incredible job. She listened to what my bridesmaids and mom / MIL wanted for their looks and executed beautifully.

    Not only is she amazing at her job, she is also so fun to be around. She spent the entire morning bringing so much joy to everyone as we were getting ready - everyone of us loved having her in the room hyping us up for the big day. Book her immediately!!

    If you want to feel beautiful and not overdone, look no further!

    Tricia is the definition of a PRO. She listened to me and helped articulate what I actually wanted on my wedding day. I know very little about makeup, but knew I didn’t want a caked on layered look. I wanted to look like a better version of myself. She made me feel so beautiful on my wedding day. The makeup lasted all day (through tears and sweaty dancing).

    Not only is she a skilled makeup artist, she’s a fun and warm person. Hanging out with her was so calming, and the morning of my wedding I was at ease because I got to spend time joking around with such a grounded and down to earth person.

    She’s communicative throughout the process, and genuinely wants to make you feel your best on your big day. I’m so happy my friend recommended her (she also looked incredible on her wedding day and highly recommended Tricia! She texted me that she was the best, and she was not lying :) ). HIRE HER if you want to feel confident and beautiful.

    You need Tricia and her Team on your big day!

    I cannot recommend Tricia enough for Bridal or special occasion makeup. Tricia and Adrianna did makeup for myself and my bridesmaids, as well as my mom. Everyone's makeup was absolutely flawless and my bridesmaids raved about them. Mine was everything I had hoped for and more.

    Tricia was such a special part of my day and I just can't thank her enough.

    I will always have nothing but the best to say about Tricia and everyone at Tricia Clarke Bridal!

    Truly the best of the best

    Choosing Tricia Clarke Bridal as my hair & makeup provider was one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding. From the first time we spoke during the consultation call, I felt an instant connection with Tricia. She spent so much time getting to know me and my plans for our wedding and I knew that I could trust her to bring my bridal vision to life.

    I hired Tricia for makeup services and she selected Korena as my hair stylist based on the look I was hoping to achieve. I had a very specific vision in mind for my hair and Korena worked with me to create a style that built upon what I was going for in a subtle yet impactful way. Tricia is incredibly thoughtful and really listens to what her clients are looking for. I felt heard and supported during every conversation and because she spent so much time getting to know me and my taste, complexion, features etc. during my preview session, I was completely relaxed on my wedding day knowing that I had a true partner who would make me feel my best. I added concierge service to my bridal beauty package and absolutely recommend doing so if your budget allows. Having Tricia as part of our “entourage” through the ceremony and bridal party photos made me feel so at ease - her work was impeccable to begin with so minimal touch ups were needed but she was ready for anything!

    Hair and makeup is incredibly personal and there is a lot of pressure to get it “right” on your wedding day. It’s so important to have a team that you trust and feel comfortable with and that is Tricia’s special sauce - in addition to being an exceptionally talented makeup artist. I cannot sing her praises loud enough and will forever recommend her to every bride I know/meet so that they too can experience the magic and joy of being a Tricia Clarke Bridal bride.

    Book this team for you wedding!

    Wedding: 04/23/2022

    Do not look anywhere else for hair and makeup! You found your vendor! I used Tricia and her team for my wedding, and I do not have enough compliments for them!

    Tricia and Kristina did my hair and makeup trial, and the experience was so fun and easy. I had a few ideas for both but couldn’t decided what was best. They both were able to merge my ideas, and it looked AMAZING!! I had errands to run the rest of the day and was even outside for a few hours in warmer weather and both the hair and makeup stayed put the whole day with no missed details!

    For the wedding day, Tricia and her team (Kristina, April, and Jacki) were there before we got there and were set up and ready to go! Kristina added some tweaks to my hair to make my braid even more prominent, which I loved! Tricia was so fun and easy to talk to. She was also patient with me when I decided to change my lipstick color and made it feel more like a makeup fashion show more than a wedding that was on a strict time schedule, so I didn’t feel panicked. It helped me pick a color in much less time! My makeup looked natural and glamorous at the same time, which is exactly what I was going for!

    The team overall made the morning feel like a spa day. My bridal party had such a fun time with the team. There was constant laughing, genuine hugging by the bridal party to the team, and a level of comfort like we’ve a been friends for years. It was such an easy, stress free morning where we had just as much fun in the morning as we did at the wedding! I will cherish the girl glam morning and cannot recommend Tricia and her team enough!!

    Enhanced natural look; perfect for photos!

    Tricia was responsive, flexible and patient with all our scheduling changes and she and her team do AMAZING work. I did a trial with Tricia and hairstylist Korena in my home and enjoyed getting to meet them both. A few months later, I had a change of heart about my hairstyle, so on the wedding day Korena patiently listening as I tried to articulate what I wanted and she executed it perfectly. Gigi and Tricia did makeup that was perfect for each of my bridesmaids (who all have very different tastes/style) and my mom and mother-in-law. I couldn't have been happier! And now I have a go-to person to make-up advice.

    Incredible Makeup Artist!!

    Tricia was a joy to work with on my wedding day! I first met Tricia when I was a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. Although I was not a regular makeup user, Tricia made me feel comfortable from the start. I felt so beautiful and confident that day that I just knew I wanted to have Tricia as my makeup artist at my own future wedding. I was so excited when, four years later, Tricia was available for my wedding (and also willing to travel to the Madison-area from Chicago!)! Tricia is just such a joy to be around. She made all of my bridesmaids feel so comfortable, and she listened to all their makeup and skincare needs and wants. As for me, she gave me such a beautiful, classic, yet sparkly and shimmery look, that made me feel so happy and confident for my day. My makeup (and the beautiful lashes she created for me!) lasted throughout the entire day and night, despite the many many tears I shed. I couldn’t recommend Tricia more. She is an incredible makeup artist, and she makes you feel like a friend!

    Wonderful experience with Tricia Clarke!

    I loved meeting and working with Tricia and Korena for my wedding! I was extremely nervous about my wedding makeup and hair (I don’t wear a lot of makeup at baseline, and I’ve rarely liked or felt good when I’ve had my hair/makeup done professionally in the past). Tricia and Korena were both amazing for so many reasons. They were so patient, reassuring, and calming. Even though I had just met them, I immediately felt like they were my friends, and they truly listened to my concerns and the look I was going for. I needed more than one trial for both makeup and hair, but the end result was exactly what I wanted. I felt beautiful, natural, effortless, comfortable, confident, and glowy. I thought my makeup was just right- it looked beautiful and special, but not too much. Korena bent over backwards to help create a hairstyle that I loved. I really can’t say enough good things about these two women- professional, kind, calm, organized, passionate, so talented, and hard working. I’m so happy and thankful they were my beauty team and I have no regrets. Several weeks after my wedding I even scheduled a makeup lesson with Tricia to learn what products to use and how to use them for date nights/special events in the future. I highly recommend them both and I would not hesitate to use them again!

    Professional, friendly, beautifully executes vision.

    Tricia was friendly and quickly responded to my inquiry. She helped find the perfect artist for my special day. April was so easy to communicate with, listened to my vision and was Very receptive to feedback and with a few little tweaks we found the perfect look. She was on time, flexible with some last minute adjustments, keep ahead of schedule and did a beautiful job with all the ladies!

    Tricia and her team were so talented. Both the make up and hair looked great, all my bridesmaids were also so happy.

    Tricia is amazing!!! She is so talented, she did my hair and make up for the wedding and she is also just a great person to have with you on your wedding day. She is 1000% prepared for any situation. I highly recommend her to all brides. Her team was also amazing, all my bridesmaids were so happy with how their hair and make up turned out. The make up was natural and everyone was an elevated version of themselves which was important to me. Thank you so much Tricia and team!

    The Most Beautiful Version of Myself

    Tricia was so fantastic on our wedding day! She smoothly transitioned working with each of my bridesmaids and family and myself. Each one of us felt beautiful but also like ourselves afterward! I was so glad I got to be pampered but still looked recognizable, just more glamorous. Korena, from her team, did an excellent job translating inspiration on the spot for each of my bridesmaid's hair. I honestly can't imagine how getting ready would have worked without them!

    Tricia is Simply the Best

    Tricia and her team were simply amazing throughout the entire experience. Tricia was super communicative, asked all the right questions to understand my vision for my wedding day, organized, and professional. Tricia was already booked for another wedding, but her stylist Bridget stepped in and was beyond fantastic! She arrived early, asked questions to understand what each person wanted in their make-up look, was super fun and personable, and the makeup was just outstanding! It lasted the entire day! Bridget was also super flexible and patient when our hair schedule fell a little bit behind and therefore delayed out makeup schedule slightly. I'm so glad I booked Tricia Clarke Makeup for my wedding and highly recommend them to everyone!!

    10/10 Favorite to Work with

    Out of all of the wedding vendors I worked with (venue, DJ, food, etc.), Tricia was by far my number one favorite vendor. She was so easy to work with, extremely responsive, a true professional and SO talented! I don't wear makeup often and so I was worried I wouldn't look like myself on my wedding day, caked in makeup. The makeup trial made me feel completely at ease, and I felt like a million bucks on my wedding day. Also, Tricia finished all of my wedding party makeup ahead of schedule and everyone looked gorgeous. My makeup lasted all day, and I didn't even notice the fake lashes she added to my eye line (usually they are pretty heavy). She is worth the $$. Stop looking for makeup artists already and go with Tricia.

    Tricia Clarke Makeup - Amazing!

    I am so grateful that Tricia was there on my wedding day! She has a bubbly, warm personality and immediately makes everyone feel comfortable. She is also extremely professional, is always on time, and responds to emails quickly. I absolutely loved my wedding makeup. I looked like myself, but GOOD; not “natural,” not super made-up, just like my best, most beautiful self. My friends and family also loved their makeup. Tricia listens carefully to everyone’s preferences and creates customized looks that are so beautiful and flattering. I want her to do my makeup every day! Megan also did an awesome job on hair! She created a style for me based on a couple of picture, and did a great job with my extensions and floral pieces. She was able to make my hair look loose and wavy while making sure that it stayed put all night. She also created beautiful styles for my family and friends.

    Best around

    We downsized to a smaller wedding and Tricia took all the necessary precautions due to COVID-19 and was flexible in her meeting location! She took her time doing the trial and took pictures I could refer to later! She even wrote down the products she used and gave plenty of recommendations. Prior to the wedding day, she created a document I could send to my family members with different ways they could prep their skin, tips/tricks, and the schedule. We switched our schedule around the night before and she was more than accomodating. My makeup was natural, but still had that "bridal glam" I was looking for. Our wedding was outside on a boat in July and my makeup lasted the entire time! She made everyone feel extra special and kept everyone calm and relaxed. You won't regret booking her!

    Can't wait to work with Tricia!

    I am a Chicago wedding florist who booked Tricia for my own wedding after meeting her for the first time on a styled shoot. She is so sweet, fun, and talented- I knew immediately that I wanted her there for my big day.

    While my wedding has been postponed due to COVID, I am writing this review now because she has been so amazing and supportive during the postponement process. I know as a vendor how tough this time is and I have been so impressed by Tricia's professionalism and grace. Thank you Tricia, I can't wait to work with you for my wedding. I know I will have another stellar review to write for you next year, and in the meantime, I highly advise all brides to book her asap!

    Tricia is an amazing beauty artist who listens to her clients. She’s professional, kind, innovative, classy, and hard working!

    Tricia was so wonderful to work with! She was professional, kind, and patient with the craziness of my life leading up to our wedding day! Tricia made sure my ideas were heard, and checked to make sure I was comfortable with my look and options. On our wedding day (August 10, 2019), she showed up right on time with two additional makeup/hair stylists to help get my bridal party ready! (Not to mention she was patient with my old dad not understanding online payments...thank you!) Tricia was so kind and gentle with my mom and helped to make her feel beautiful on our wedding day. My mom has been fighting breast cancer, and Tricia made my mom look like she had life back into her. No one could even notice she was ill that day. She was caring, compassionate, and even emailed me a time or two to check in on her. It really meant a lot. Tricia is not only a talented beauty artist, but she is a woman of Faith, trend setter, and overall an amazing woman to know. She makes you feel at ease, and that you’ve been friends for a long time. Thank you for not only making me feel beautiful on our wedding day, but also my entire bridal party!!!

    She's the best!

    Tricia is everything you could want in a Wedding Make-Up Artist. Highlights- She responded to email communication in a timely manner, she listened and asked the right questions during my trial and day-of, she was both fun and on time (both necessary qualities for wedding days). I felt comfortable asking for adjustments on the day-of and she worked to make sure I was happy with my final look. I would recommend Tricia to any bride as she has a range of application skills, from natural looks to full-face make-up looks. Everyone in my bridal party was so happy with their make-up!

    Tricia Clarke Wedding Makeup and Hair

    Tricia was amazing to work with. She made the process super simple and the experience very comfortable. You get to know each other at the trial and she gets to understand your style and how you want to look on your wedding. Tricia is super buttoned up and put together a timeline that will accommodate you and your bridal party, allowing you to not worry about a thing. Her team was personable and so much fun and did a terrific job. All of my bridesmaids, moms and myself looked stunning. Would highly recommend.

    The best in the business!

    Tricia came highly recommended to me and I couldn't be more glad she did. She is truly one of the sweetest people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. You can tell she's genuinely interested in providing the best service to her clients and making them feel beautiful on their special day. We did a trial a few weeks out and she really listened to what I wanted and the feedback I gave her so that I could have my perfect look on the day of the wedding. She was also very easy and flexible with schedules and demands. Day of the wedding she was patient with the Moms having their hair/makeup done with very specific wants and needs, she listened to all of my feedback from our trial and she made me feel more beautiful than ever! My makeup looked amazing, received so many compliments, and held up all night. Thank you Tricia!!!!

    Above and Beyond!

    I would highly recommend Tricia for all weddings! Her positive and calming approach was so well received. She went above and beyond to support me on my wedding day. She even assisted me in getting into my wedding dress and ensured that not only me but the entire wedding party was serviced. She was extremely responsive during the entire planning phase and always made herself available for the many questions that I had. She is a true professional!

    Simply the BEST in the Midwest, highly recommend, book her now and don't miss out!

    Tricia is not only the most talented makeup artist I have ever had the joy of working with, she is also one of the most genuine, kind, thoughtful, fun, motivated, hardworking, spunky women I have ever met! Makeup was one of my top priorities and one of the first vendors we booked once we chose our wedding date, and I am so grateful that my wedding planner recommended Tricia right off the bat. She books out so far in advance because she is that amazing so do not hesitate and book her ASAP!! After booking her I actually started following her Instagram page before ever meeting her in person and found her to be so bubbly and relatable, and she gives such good and useful recommendations that I have incorporated into my daily routine! Prior to my trial all of our interactions via email were great -- she is quick to reply, very professional, and it was very easy to coordinate all the important details. She is so incredibly talented and I was so happy with my trial, but I found some new inspiration photos before the wedding that she was able to incorporate seamlessly and she totally knocked my makeup out of the park! I felt so beautiful and my makeup lasted ALL DAY AND NIGHT! My bridesmaids all loved her too -- she was so much fun getting ready with us and she and her colleague Adrianna created beautiful and special looks for each of my girls based on their requests. I definitely recommend Tricia as the Chicago makeup artist, Wisconsin makeup artist or really anywhere makeup artist of your dreams -- she definitely made mine come true by helping me look and feel beautiful on my wedding day! I'm not kidding - book her now or you will regret missing out on this true gem!!

    Incredible experience, highly recommend

    I'd recommend Tricia Clarke for wedding hair and makeup without hesitation. On top of doing an amazing job where she made me look and feel the most beautiful I've ever been, she and her team are incredibly organized, responsive, prompt, and competitively priced. When you hire Tricia, you're not just hiring her for hair and makeup, she is the person who is literally running your morning and day-off schedule. Her communication was flawless--she provided a schedule, an email for me to copy and paste to my attendants on how to be prepared that morning, and kept everything moving. Everyone was very pleased with their looks on wedding day. Also, for the hair and makeup trial, she came to my house, which was awesome for scheduling. 10/10.

    Wonderful experience from start to finish!

    Tricia was absolutely wonderful to work with! I was referred to her by another makeup artist for my November 2018 wedding and from our first phone call I knew she was the right person for me! One of the best things about working with Tricia is that she really takes the time to really get to know you and your style. As someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup everyday I wanted a pretty minimal/natural look for my engagement photos and Tricia absolutely delivered. When I decided I wanted to do a bit more for the wedding, Tricia was super helpful in making sure I got a more dramatic look that still made me feel understated, natural, and like myself. Not to mention that my makeup lasted the entire 16 hour day with no touch ups and looked just as gorgeous at midnight as it did at 8am!

    Tricia is also extremely organized and on top of things which made the whole experience so relaxing and enjoyable. I had a fairly large bridal party who all needed hair and makeup done so Tricia brought two extra makeup artists with her and created a very detailed schedule for the morning of to make sure everything ran smoothly and we all got done on time. She was excellent at making sure that everyone's makeup/hair coordinated with each other and that no one stuck out as being over or under done. Tricia was also just a fun, calming presence that morning. It was clear she had everything under control but she didn't seem stressed in the slightest and really made everyone feel at ease and pampered. The girls and I loved our looks and we had such a fun, relaxed morning laughing and sipping mimosas which is exactly what I wanted!

    She was also extremely flexible and accommodating! The week before the wedding I called her up to ask about adding some extra services for additional people. I fully expected her to say it was too late to add services but instead she said, "Absolutely! That is no problem at all let me just adjust the schedule and get back to you." I cannot tell you how relieved and grateful I was to hear that!

    Bottom line: I would 100% recommend Tricia. If you are thinking of booking her DO IT! Not only will you look absolutely beautiful on your wedding day, you will feel listened to and taken care of throughout the whole process!

    The easiest decision!

    I first met Tricia in January 2017 when she did my makeup as a bridesmaid for my brother and sister-in-law’s wedding. I knew once my wedding day came, I would want Tricia to be the one doing my makeup so as soon as we set our date for August 2018, I reached out to her to lock her in. She emailed me back almost immediately and shared my excitement over the opportunity of us working together!

    From the beginning, Tricia was so easy to work with- always willing to talk out details, jump on the phone to help me make decisions, or just to catch-up on wedding planning udates. She was my go-to when finalizing the schedule for the morning of my wedding day, troubleshooting needs for a large bridal party (7 bridesmaids), providing skin prep recommendations leading up to the wedding, and deciding on the perfect bridal lip color.

    For the big day, Tricia brought a second artist and they were a perfect team. My mom, mother-in-law, and bridesmaids were smiling the whole morning, they loved their looks, and raved about how sweet they both were. On top of it all- they were ahead of schedule! When it came to my makeup, I felt beautiful all day, received so many compliments, and needed zero touch-ups throughout the day. Tricia is truly a magician.

    I feel so lucky to know Tricia and to have had the opportunity to work with her from the bride-side of things. She was such a crucial part of making my wedding morning so perfect and I am forever grateful. Thank you Tricia!

    This is a copy of the email I wrote to Tricia a few days after our wedding:
    "Thank you for being so amazing this past weekend!! The make up you did for me was absolutely flawless the entire night. Even in 90 degree heat with high humidity, I looked just as good at midnight as I did walking down the aisle. I am soooo happy with how it turned out! You also had great advice for wedding day and I can’t thank you enough for sharing it all. My bridesmaids raved about you as well. Everyone looked gorgeous and I can’t wait to see pictures!! My mom asked me yesterday which products you use because she felt like it took away wrinkles and made her face glow the entire night. All in all, I am sooo happy that I chose you for our makeup!!! I will be recommending you to anyone in the Chicago and Lake Geneva areas who has an upcoming wedding! Thank you for everything!!"

    Tricia was amazing from the very first email exchange to the last touch up on the wedding day! She is incredibly organized and responsive. Her makeup and hair styling skills are amazing and create a very natural look. Additionally, Tricia has a very fun, warm, and relaxing personality that puts everyone at ease! I very highly recommend booking Tricia!

    Tricia was one of the best decisions I made when wedding planning. She not only did an excellent job hearing how I wanted to look on my wedding day, but all of my nine bridesmaids loved how they looked. She heard each person's specific vision for their look and made it happen. She is so pleasant to have the morning of the wedding too. She's fun, calming, and flexible. She is responsive in all communication. I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tricia. She made me feel wonderful on my wedding day and I highly recommend her.

    I am so happy I found Tricia and she was available for my 7/28 wedding at the University Club of Chicago! She responded right away to my request, we connected over the phone an hour later, and after that conversation, I knew that she was the one! We were able to book the trial that weekend, and I loved the makeup and the hair! She really listened to me, even cured my "Preview Traumatic Stress Disorder" (haha) that I got after trying another team of stylists (highly rated on the knot.com btw). After that first experience, I thought I'd just do everything myself, and I submerged myself into the world of youtube videos and Sephora samples in order to find the right products and learn the right techniques. I'm so happy that I came across Tricia's website via a Google Image search! I was searching for a natural looking foundation for brides and clicked on a picture that looked exactly like what I was looking for. I knew it was meant to be when I read that the artist who worked on this beauty was working in Chicago! She also recommended a great skincare line that her friend (also a make up artist) created, and OMG that's another bomb right there! I love that line! (I don't think I'm allowed to mention it here because the website might think it's advertising, haha) I love Tricia's approach to bringing out the inner beauty of her clients, vs. slapping all the latest trendy products for an Instagram-like "still life" finish that only looks good at one angle in a certain light etc.
    Tricia, you are amazing! I can NOT picture NOT having you by my side on my wedding day! Thanks for everything!! I'm waiting for pictures now, I will update this review with a photo as soon as I can!

    I cannot begin to explain how amazing my experience with Tricia was! She was very responsive, easy to communicate with and a joy to get to know! My sister and I started stalking her Instagram account (triciaclarkemakeup - if you’re not following her, DO IT!) months in advance of booking with her. Between her posts, stories and advice, I was sold! By the time my trial came around, I felt like I knew her like an old friend. Her personality alone had me, and when I had my trial, I was absolutely sure that hair and makeup was one thing I didn’t need to worry about at all! I had absolute faith that the team she was bringing with her would be as wonderful as her and I was right. My bridal party absolutely loved everything about their hair and makeup. I’ve never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day, and I credit most of that to Tricia for the amazing job she did on my hair and makeup. If you’re thinking of booking with her, ABSOLUTELY YES!

    Tricia was absolutely amazing to work with! As the Bride, I had many moments where I freaked out and didn't know exactly how I wanted my hair or makeup but Tricia was calm, cool, and collected the whole time. She totally nailed it the day of the wedding and any Bride should know that they can fully trust Tricia to make them feel absolutely GORGEOUS on their wedding day. I loved that I felt like myself, but an elevated version on myself. We even did a second hair change for the reception and I got so many compliments. I love Tricia and would recommend her to anyone!

    I found Tricia on Instagram for my sister’s wedding in Chicago! My sister isn’t really into beauty stuff so I began my search from San Diego, CA. Tricia and Jaycie Ganek showed up early to beat the traffic, and the whole morning was flawless. She was able to accommodate different styles (very little makeup to lots) and different hair types (very fine to super thick and texturized) and interpret what everyone really wanted. They worked together to do everyone’s hair and makeup beautifully! The makeup and hair lasted through all the heat and humidity of a July wedding which deserves a ton of credit since I have slippery Japanese hair and none of us had skin that was used to this amount of humidity. Great products and a truly amazing day! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

    My husband and I got married March 31, 2018 at Ovation in Chicago, and Tricia was such a big part of our day!

    First of all, Tricia is extremely sweet, kind, friendly, attentive, professional, and just a pleasure to be around. My experience from talking to her day 1 all the way through the wedding day was absolutely perfect! A colleague of mine recommended Tricia, so we first spoke on the phone and I immediately knew she would be amazing to work with for my wedding. It was obvious that she's super knowledgeable about the industry, and she also understood the look I wanted immediately, which was really important!

    The day we did my hair/makeup trial was really fun! Tricia came to my apartment, my mom and sister joined us, and we all spent the afternoon getting to know each other. It was such a great intro to get to hang with Tricia that day!

    In terms of the wedding day, I absolutely loved my hair and makeup and I wouldn't have changed anything! I really wanted to look like myself, and my look, especially my makeup to be natural with a touch of elegance, and Tricia knew exactly what that meant. I felt gorgeous, my husband was over the moon happy, and friends/family loved my look too.

    Tricia also put together an amazing team to make sure my mom and bridesmaids were well taken care of and felt just as beautiful and special as I did. Everyone loved their looks and couldn't stop talking about what a relaxing and fun experience our afternoon of getting ready was!

    Also, in addition to being amazing at hair/makeup, Tricia is really knowledgeable about the wedding industry, and she gave us a great recommendation for a day-of wedding coordinator - Nicole Fauls of Urban Allure Events. It was another great decision we made during the wedding planning process!

    Bottom line: I would highly recommend Tricia to everyone planning their wedding right now. She is incredible and you'll love working with her!

    Great experience, Tricia spent extra time with me on my trial. All of my bridesmaids loved her, and she so efficient!

    With so many talented hair & makeup pros in Chicago with great reviews, I didn't know how I was ever going to make a decision about my wedding vendor. There were so many options! I initially saw examples of Tricia's work on Instagram and thought her style was in line what I was looking for—a natural look that wasn't too made up. There were a couple of other vendors I reached out to as well because I liked their style, but from my first email correspondence with Tricia I knew she was the one. She was so easy to work with and adjusted my day-of look based off of my feedback from the trial so that my hair & makeup turned out exactly the way I wanted on my wedding day. She did a great job incorporating my hairpiece into my hair. My bridesmaids raved about Tricia and her team as well. I would highly recommend Tricia to other brides wanting a natural look on their wedding day. She does a great job!

    I got married this past summer and truly had such a great experience with Tricia - from initial point of contact all the way through the final event. She was professional, friendly, accommodating, and willing to incorporate any feedback that I had from the initial makeup trial (where she came to my apartment!). She also put all of my bridesmaids at ease and was even willing to jump in and help out when hair got messed up before photos (even though she wasn't the one doing our hair). Finally, I have fairly pronounced melasma on my face and absolutely did not want it showing up in our wedding photos and Tricia made it completely disappear! All in all a really positive experience :)

    Tricia,

    I cannot thank you - and your team - enough for all that you did to help make my wedding day such a success. There were a lot of moving parts the morning of the wedding and you helped to make everything flow smoothly without any stress at all. The bridesmaids and my stepmom looked absolutely stunning and had such a blast getting ready with you gals.

    I mean it when I say I have never felt so beautiful in my entire life, so thank you from the bottom of my heart for working with me to make the vision come to life! You're incredibly talented, and I know I'll be reaching out to you for beauty advice for years to come!

    XOXO
    Katie

    Before I was lucky enough to find Tricia, I had an unfortunate makeup trial at a highly rated Chicago salon that left me almost in tears. My makeup was so incredibly thick, the coloring was off, I had so much eye makeup on that I could barely blink, and when I face-timed my sister afterward, she immediately burst out into laughter. My sister-in-law recommended I reach out to Tricia. For my makeup trial, Tricia was so accommodating and came right to my apartment. I was nervous after what had happened at my last makeup trial, but it turned out to be the best case scenario! At the trial and on my wedding day, my makeup looked so natural and fresh. My skin was glowing. My eyes popped but weren’t overdone. My lip color was perfect and she gave me a tube of the color to keep. I really did look like the best version of myself. She is truly amazing. She also did makeup for my family and everyone was so happy with the results, they all looked beautiful! On top of her incredible makeup skills, she’s also nice, funny, and laid back, providing the perfect vibe on what can be a stressful day. I highly recommend anyone looking for flawless wedding makeup to contact Tricia!

    Working with Tricia was a highlight of our wedding! (Aside from the whole getting married part :) ) She was a dream vendor and was flexible and very responsive, which I appreciated as I was planning my wedding from out of state. During my makeup trial, Tricia went the extra mile in recommending products I could use to recreate my bridal look for a second ceremony I was having. The day of the wedding, it was great having Tricia around-- she has a really relaxed, fun energy and put us all at ease. All of my bridesmides adored their looks, as did my mom, who was very apprehensive about having her makeup professionally done. Tricia listened to each of our individual requests and was accommodating in creating a simple, natural look for the whole bridal party. I could not recommend Tricia more highly, and I wish I could work with her again!

    Tricia and Lisa did wedding day hair for myself, my bridesmaids, and the other ladies in our family - and they are incredible! As soon as I met Tricia at my first trial, I knew I wanted her there on my wedding day. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she is just the sweetest and most genuine person to be around. She was so patient with me changing my hairstyles leading up to the wedding and answered all of my mom and I's many questions! Every single lady in the bridal party that had their hair done by Tricia and Lisa loved what they did and had so much fun chatting with them. We all felt so beautiful and were so happy. Working with Tricia in the year leading up to my wedding was such a pleasure, and I am happy to now have her as a friend!

    Tricia was an absolute DREAM to work with! She was suggested to me via my wedding day-of coordinator along with a few other hair and makeup gals. From the beginning she was the most kind, responsive, and flexible. While other vendors were much more rigid with meeting them for trials and for the morning of my wedding, Tricia came to my mom's house for our trials and was SO flexible for the morning of for everything (aka we didn't have to wake up at 6 AM when there were a bunch of us). She also was very affordable compared to other vendors. Especially for how much she did for us! Besides being a genuinely nice person, she is the most professional. She did both my hair and makeup, and she and her team also did the same for 8 of my bridesmaids, my mom, my mother in law, my grandma, and one more woman that was added last minute! With all of this, we even got done 45 minutes early! My bridesmaids told me they had such a great experience and that it was the best hair and makeup they've ever had done. All day and night we got endless compliments, and they said they felt the prettiest they ever have. I cannot recommend her enough and am SO happy with my decision to have her be a part of my big day.

    Tricia did my makeup this past weekend for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in. We all looked amazing and felt beautiful. She also used the best lashes ever - they didn't bother me once the entire night and looked dramatic but not silly. Great experience all around!

    Tricia and Angelica were the make up artists for a wedding I was a bridesmaid in on 11/11/17 in Chicago. They could not have been nicer or more thorough. We were all so happy with our makeup and even followed up to get the type of lashes they used. They really listened to what each of us wanted and we all felt so pretty! Thank you!

    Tricia was a dream to work with: responsive, organized and efficient (Type A bride criteria!). She was also super flexible to my changes: I chopped my hair and changed my dress prior to the big day! We did a trial which solidified my aforementioned dress/hair change and helped us finalize our day of plan to put me at ease on the big day. Tricia spent the day with me, my sister, my mom and my mother-in-law to do all of our hair and makeup on a timely schedule for the day's events. She is not only talented at making us ladies look like the most lovely versions of ourselves, she was the nicest and warmest new friend to hang out with day of! You will not regret choosing Tricia!!

    Tricia is amazing! Sweet and professional, she was a joy to work with. She did my hair, bridal makeup, AND the makeup for all of my bridesmaids in July at The Glessner House. She does it all! I first met Tricia when she did the makeup for my best friends wedding. I loved the way I looked that day and I knew when it was my turn, I had to have her. I booked her early and she made every effort to keep in contact with me about scheduling and inspiration. On my wedding day, she showed up early and put everyone at ease. She made myself, my mom, and my bridesmaids looked amazing. Our makeup and hair photographed beautifully and lasted all day in the July heat. Tricia made us the look like the most beautiful versions of ourselves and I can't thank her enough. Tricia is wonderful and truly magnificent at what she does! I would highly recommend Tricia to anyone.

    Tricia did bridal makeup for myself, my bridsemaids, and my mom, and we were all so happy with how we looked for my wedding last month. I wanted a look that was natural but still glamorous, and Tricia was able to find the perfect balance so that I still looked like myself - but at my best! Tricia uses high quality products (including airbrush foundation), and we all still looked fresh and photogenic even at 2AM after dancing and celebrating the night away. She was so professional and easy to work with, which was a godsend after having a negative experience with another artist early in the planning process. Her services and the peace of mind from working with such a professional and talented artist are well worth the price. She was also very sweet and made everyone feel at ease, especially my mom who had never had makeup done professionally and was a little nervous about the process. I highly recommend Tricia for anyone in the area looking for a bridal makeup artist!

    Tricia is the best! She did my bridal makeup and the makeup for all of my bridesmaids this past weekend at The Hotel Baker. From the first time I met Tricia at my trial make up session, I knew I had made the right choice. On my wedding day, myself and my bridesmaids looked amazing. Tricia made us the look like the most beautiful versions of ourselves! We looked flawless and our looks lasted all day and night!!! Tricia has a wonderful personality, she is super fun and above all she is magnificent at what she does! I would highly recommend Tricia! She is the best of the best!!

    Oh Tricia, I can honestly say there is no one I would rather doing my makeup and hanging out with me and my gals on my wedding morning more than Tricia. Her unparalleled talent is one thing but her warm personality enhances the overall experience with her. I know so many people that are afraid to get their make up done because they are afraid of being "overdone" -- but that's not Tricia. She uses all the tools in her kit to enhance your natural beauty -- the beauty that is already there! She asks for your input and you work together to make sure you and your gals look and feel your best on your wedding day. She is so passionate about what she does and that shines through in everyone's faces that she touches. If you want to look and feel like your absolute best and most beautiful self on your wedding day, Tricia is the gal for you. What a joy to work with someone so sweet, kind, and talented.

    Tricia at Benefit was awesome in this whole process! Would highly recommend her and all the team at the Benefit on Southport in Chicago. Got the best spray tan there ever! Their products are awesome and their makeup trials make you look beautiful.

    Lovely! Working with Tricia from the first day at my trial until my wedding day was pure joy. I have never felt more beautiful then I did on my wedding day and only wish Tricia could put eyelashes on me and do my makeup everyday! I received such wonderful compliments and never stopped smiling. I loved how she gives you your own lip colors and blotting papers to have on hand for the duration of the day and that I now have my wedding day lip color to wear on special nights out! Tricia is professional and a joy to work with. She definitely knows how you make you look and feel your most beautiful!

    Tricia listened to my daughter's description of what she wanted and produced that look. She was personal but stayed on task, both during the trial and during the day of the wedding. She knows how to get everyone made up in the time allotted and everyone looked great...not over done. We are thankful that someone referred us to her as we tried 3 other makeup artists and finally found Tricia!
