Dede thank you so much for having my bridal party and I looking so beautiful! Your work speaks for itself! As someone who can be very picky about their makeup you were the perfect person to do it for my wedding day. Aside from that though Dede is so polite and professional. She comes prepared! She even had brown lashes and mascara to put on me when she learned that’s what I normally use. Dede is a true artist and you can tell she’s passionate about her work.

Words cannot express how incredible Dede was . From the very start her communication was incredible. I showed her my ideas and she delivered above and beyond . I had nothing but compliments from everyone! Even some last minute requests that were not on her books she was so accommodating with the entire bridal party. 10/10 you won’t regret booking with her 💕

Dede Prange is a wedding makeup artist based in O'Fallon, MO.
I am a makeup artist specializing in natural but glamorous makeup applications. When it comes to your special day, you want your makeup to last through the tears and the smiles. Bridal makeup, especially, should highlight all of your best features and make you feel beautiful.
Over and over, my clients will say how they still look like themselves, just "better." That is what I feel I specialize in. Makeup that still keeps you looking like you, but with a glowy, glam touch. I am also available for trials and will travel to you for your special day. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

Dede is AMAZING!! There are not enough words to describe how great she was to work with all the way from my bridal trial to my wedding day. Not only is she incredibly talented, she...
has a calming and kind presence that contributes to a peaceful wedding morning. I wanted a soft, clean, and natural bridal look and she executed it perfectly, I’ve never felt so beautiful than I did on my wedding day. She was very flexible to changes and adaptable to my wedding party (8 bridesmaids, 2 moms, and I) and they all looked and felt gorgeous! I can’t stop hearing how much my family and friends loved her too. Look no further, she’s truly the best. Thank you so much, Dede!🩷

Dede was absolutely amazing to have with me on my wedding day. I first met her when she did makeup for another wedding I was in, and I knew right then that I wanted her for my own ...
bridal makeup. She completely lived up to every expectation and then some.
She didn’t just make me feel beautiful, she made my entire bridal party and my mother-in-law look and feel incredible. My girls couldn’t stop talking about how much they loved their makeup and how confident they felt. Dede has this amazing talent for enhancing your natural features while still making you look glam. I felt like the best version of myself, not someone unrecognizable, which was exactly what I wanted.
Beyond her talent, Dede was such a fun and calming presence to have with us the morning of the wedding. Her energy is so positive, and she genuinely cares about every person in her chair. She made everyone feel comfortable, kept the vibe light and happy, and somehow managed to stay perfectly on schedule.
I’m so grateful I had Dede with me on my wedding day, she’s talented, professional, and just an absolute joy to be around. I can’t recommend her enough to any bride looking for someone who will make you look and feel amazing on one of the biggest days of your life. 💕

mes to makeup and I don’t usually wear much makeup so I was nervous, but Dede was very patient with me and really listened to me and what I liked and what worked for my look. She took her time and we tried different options. Her airbrushing skills are incredible and she was able to match my color perfectly and hide every imperfection. Working with Dede was a highlight of my wedding – she was friendly, easy to talk to, and very professional. I could always count on her for responses to my questions and flexibility when setting up the trial. It was 98 degrees and humid on my wedding day and my makeup hadn’t budged or smudged at all at the very end of the evening. As far as makeup artists go – she really is the best!
