    Rachael is Wonderful!

    From the moment I reached out to Rachael to the big day, she made everything run smoothly. I love her natural yet glamorous technique and had many compliments on my hair and makeup. I would highly recommend Rachael and Face Of Makeup.

    Best experience you could ask for!

    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!

    Perfect choice for our destination wedding

    We worked with Rachael and Katie on my wedding day. They did hair and makeup for 8 people which included moms, sisters, and flower girls. They did a stellar job and had everything they needed to make us feel comfortable, heard, and feeling beautiful. Ours was a destination wedding (we're from Dallas), but I so wish they lived closer so that I could have my hair and makeup done more frequently by them. They brought a nice and calm vibe to our getting ready time, and it felt like they were part of the family/group. I am very picky about my hair, and Katie nailed it. I couldn't have been happier. Rachael's expertise shines through her work, and I was instantly grateful that I had decided to splurge a little on her services. Our entire group was more than satisfied.

    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!

    Elopement hair and makeup

    Rachael traveled to my rental home where I was getting ready and did my hair and makeup. The makeup was air-sprayed and included lashes, which I requested. The hair included extensions that I purchased. I had an inspiration photo that she worked off of while making accommodations for my coloring and hair type. I was thrilled with how I looked for my special day. I hiked and was active for 8 hours and my hair and makeup lasted all day. Rachael was also responsive and timely throughout the process and a real pleasure to spend two hours getting ready with. I highly recommend her.

    Rachael and team are amazing!!

    Had the best experience with Rachael at Faceof Makeup. She took care of me, seven bridesmaids and two mothers on my wedding day at the Surf Hotel in BV. Everyone loved their hair and makeup and I got so many compliments on mine. 10/10 recommend!!

    Rachael is the best!

    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.

    Beyond happy with the result

    Rachael at Face of Makeup is absolutely fabulous. She was so easy to communicate with during the time leading up to my wedding. We had a great time doing a hair/makeup trial and the wedding day couldn't have gone more smoothly. Her and Lisa handled our ~10 girls getting hair and makeup done without running behind at all.
    I don't typically wear any makeup, so am always nervous getting it done professionally. Rachael nailed the natural look that accentuated my best features. We also had a very rainy ceremony (outside) and my makeup didn't run or look any worse for the wear.
    Lisa and Rachael work together as a great team. Lisa did my hair while Rachel did my makeup in order to make the process quicker and reduce my time in the chair. My updo was perfect, and also stayed perfectly together throughout the night.
    They are thoughtful and both wonderful people to spend with while making you look your best. Can't recommend Face of Makeup enough!

    Natural, effortless makeup and great communication

    Rachael and her team are beyond wonderful to work with. I had a large group of bridesmaids and moms getting their makeup done before our wedding. Firstly, I was blessed with the ability to not have to wake up at the crack of dawn to fit everyone in. Rachael was able to add in a third artist to help make the schedule super flexible. They were efficient and we had plenty of time for touch ups. She personally did my bridal makeup and hair. I rarely wear makeup and almost never foundation- I was worried about being caught between not looking like myself but not looking nice enough for such a big occasion. She absolutely nailed my look. My hair stayed the entire night and my makeup too- through MANY tears.

    Far Above and Beyond

    Rachael of FaceofMakeup Artistry far exceeded my expectations. She was very responsive from the very first contact. Her skill level is 5 star professional! I can’t imagine a better artist for my hair and makeup. She was even willing and able to accommodate a last minute date change! That never happens. Not to mention she was willing to button me into my dress (since we eloped and had no guests). She was extremely friendly, easy to talk with and very personable. She captured my vision beyond my dreams. I wish I could do it all again, just so I could feel so beautiful and I owe it to her! Look no further for a hair and makeup artist; Rachael is the BEST!

    Amazing! Wish I could use Rachael for all my special events.

    Originally I planned to do my own hair & makeup for our elopement. At the last minute Rachael was able to fit me in and not only help with hair & makeup but she came an hour into the mountains.
    She was friendly, punctual, and personable. But even better she had the skills combined with top products to make me feel my best on the big day. Both the makeup & updo lasted through 2 miles of hiking at elevation, still looking beautiful at the top of the hike! Hands down would work with Rachael again and so happy with her work for my elopement!

    Face of Makeup's reply:

    Thank you so much for this review Meg! It was a pleasure to meet you and to be a part of this special day. I am thrilled to know that your look lasted to journey! Congratulations!!!!

    Wedding Hair and Makeup

    Rachael with Face of Makeup did a gorgeous job on wedding makeup and hair for my wedding 10/08/22 at Mt. Princeton Hot Springs Resort. I could not have been happier with my wedding hair and makeup. My maid of honor looked amazing. Rachael is professional, flexible, and kind. The entire process from hiring to execution on the day of was easy and seamless. If you are looking for wedding hair and makeup in the Buena Vista/ Salida area, Rachael is your woman! You will not regret having her as part of your wedding day team! I am so thankful we were able to work with her on my big day.

    Amazing team and service!

    Rachael and her team did the most amazing job; she is also super bubbly and helped ease the nerves on the big day. All of my bridesmaids loved their hair and makeup and felt like they got exactly what they wanted, and all got their services completed quickly and efficiently. Rachael was super flexible with the trial date and time and very communicative throughout the process, from the very beginning quote to the big day. I highly recommend Face of Makeup for wedding hair and makeup services; I had a great experience!

    Beautiful, natural looking hair & makeup

    Rachael and her team did mine and my bridesmaids hair and makeup for our wedding and I couldn't have been happier. Everyone looked incredible - the makeup was natural but beautiful and looked the same at the end of the day as it did in the beginning. Everyone's hair was beautiful and stayed as well. I can't recommend Face of Makeup enough, everyone was so happy with how they looked and how everything photographed, thank you Rachael!

    So professional and amazing!!!

    Rachael and Lisa did my bridal parties hair and makeup and they are such a great team! They are true professionals, made everyone look beautiful and completed everyone's services so quickly. Our hair and makeup turned out beautifully and they were very personal. I struggled to find hair and makeup and they were so accommodating to get me into a trial in short notice during my trip to Salida. 10/10 would recommend!

    I had the pleasure of working with Rachael and Lisa for hair and makeup. My bridesmaids all looked absolutely stunning and loved their hair/makeup. I truly loved mine and received compliments throughout the night. Rachael was easy to work with, organized and responsive. I would highly recommend Face of Makeup if you need hair and/or makeup services, you will not be disappointed!

    Absolutely The BEST

    I’d recommend Rachael to anyone and everyone for their special day. Not only did she make me feel amazing and beautiful for my wedding day, she did the same for my whole wedding party. Her and her team made all of my ladies feel incredible which is not and always an easy task. And on top of it all she is the most kind and lovely person. If she’s available don’t hesitate, book her now!

    Can’t recommend them enough, they were the best!

    Rachael and Lisa were so great to work with. I live in Denver, my venue was in Leadville and they made it so easy for me and the rest of my bridal party! They came up to Leadville and were extremely prompt all while creating amazing looks that everyone was extremely happy with. The make up and hair all felt very natural while still looking elegant and photographed really well. Couldn’t recommend them enough!

    Amazing Experience!!!

    These ladies were so amazing to work with on my wedding day. I had my wedding at the Barn at Sunset Ranch in Buena Vista, Colorado and could not have asked for better hair and make up artists. They are so talented and we’re able to mimic my exact inspiration! Also - they are so sweet and fun which made the experience even better. My bridesmaids and I all loved our hair and make up and were so impressed by their expertise. Highly recommend!!!

    Hair and Makeup

    Working with Rachael and Katie was fantastic. They managed hair and make up for myself, my four bridesmaids, the officiant, the mother of the groom, and my mother, all before 1:00 pm. She helped us figure out the schedule and kept things going smoothly and on time - and was also a pleasure to spend time with! None of us wear much make up, and they did a great job of making us all look great while still feeling comfortable. Rachael also did an amazing job handing my non-traditional hair - it's short, and shaved on one side, but she managed to make it feel very bridal and special, while still feeling like me.

    Rachael made me feel stunning!

    Working with Rachael was a highlight of my wedding. We had a pre-COVID design session for a little extra and it was such a joy to get to know her process beforehand. Then we knew what to do on the day of my wedding - which was a much more distracted space with folks asking me lots of questions. But Rachael did her thing And I felt lovely. The whole afternoon and evening all I had (and continue to have in my photos) are buckets of compliments. I loved my hair especially. She made it look better than I’d imagined! I even had a cold sore develop the week before and when I emailed her about it, she wasn’t fazed a bit! She just chose a darker lipstick and voila! You couldn’t see a thing. She also did the hair and makeup for my Matron of Honor, and pinned up my mom's hair and they both looked gorgeous! There’s nothing she can’t do with her vast knowledge from years of working for news networks and with celebrities. And those stories made working with her even more fun! Thanks so much, Rachael! You’re amazing!

    Simple, efficient and comfortable service!

    Rachael was extremely easy to work with and helpful/responsive in answering questions leading up to my wedding, all in the midst of having a new baby! Katie did a beautiful job doing make up for 5 of us who don’t normally wear much! We were all very comfortably and she kept us on time and worked efficiently. Thank you ladies!

    Perfect Hair, Perfect Day

    Rachael at Face of Makeup brought all my bridal hair dreams to life! Not only was she amazing at her job, but she was such a dream to work with. Her and her entire team made me and my bridal party absolutely glow. I couldn't be happier with how seamless the process was. Rachael listened my needs and even anticipated a look I didn't think of. My colors were a rich sienna - I had suggested using a light pink lip color. Rachael suggested using a more rich color similar to the sienna. She said if I didn't like it we could try the pink, but thanks to her suggestion, I think my look was stepped up to the next level. I would definitely recommend her to any bride in the Buena Vista area and beyond.

    Wedding Day Hair and Makeup

    Rachael from Face of Makeup and her sister did the hair and make-up for the bridal party for our wedding in June. Rachael was so friendly when my mom and I first met her for the makeup trial. She also had such impressive experience in the industry. When Rachael and her sister arrived on the wedding day, they were so much fun to have in the getting ready process and each of the girls looked absolutely beautiful! The hair and makeup stayed the entire day into night so we did not have to worry about reapplying. If you have the opportunity to work with Rachael from Face of Makeup we cannot recommend her highly enough.
