Rachel Reder
LEAD MAKEUP ARTIST
I am a makeup artist located in Central IL, specializing in bridal parties. I offer customized, beautiful, timeless, and long-lasting makeup. I started doing wedding makeup in 2021. I truly love spending the morning of the big day hanging with the bride and all her special people and enhancing their natural beauty! There’s usually never a dull moment in the bridal suite!
Two of the biggest things I prioritize besides the actual makeup application are sanitation and professionalism. I always use disposables and clean properly between clients. I provide clear contracts, thoughtful check-ins and prep guidance, respond quickly, arrive on time, and ensure everything stays on schedule. To ensure longevity, every client receives a touch-up bag with their service.

tive to feedback and was able to provide natural looks for my bridesmaids who don’t typically wear makeup. My makeup lasted ALL NIGHT. It didn’t look any different after a very emotional, tear-filled ceremony. It photographed beautifully. Rachel was also just a super cool & calming presence to have around on a busy, stressful day.

I couldn’t be happier with my wedding makeup! From start to finish, the experience was amazing. She truly listened to what I wanted and made me feel like the best version of myself...

Not only is she incredibly talented, but she’s also professional, calming, and so easy to be around — exactly what every bride needs on wedding day morning. I felt confident, beautiful, and completely taken care of. I would 100% recommend her to any bride or anyone looking for a makeup artist. Very satisfied!
