Rachel is the absolute best! She takes her time to make sure you feel so beautiful on your special day. She is also very knowledgeable about makeup and also has a list of other makeup artists in case you have a bigger party. She made me and my bridesmaids feel so beautiful and confident. She truly is such a joy to be around and is so talented!

I cannot recommend Rachel enough! From the moment I sat in the chair on my wedding day, she made me feel absolutely beautiful and so comfortable. She listened to exactly what I wanted and somehow made me feel like the best version of myself. My makeup stayed flawless all day and night through all the emotions, photos, and happy tears! Thank you for helping make me feel so confident and beautiful on one of the most important days of my life. I’m beyond grateful for your talent and kindness!

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. Makeup by Rachel Reder is a wedding beauty specialist based in Champaign, IL.

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.
