“Rachel’s skills are beyond AMAZING! We’ve worked with her on a couple of photo shoots. She is very professional, punctual, and talented. She is a PRO and knows how to work with all types of skins tones! She knows how to bring out your natural beauty without having to put loads and loads of make up on. If you have a specific look you are going for, you can definitely count on Rachel to achieve that look. 

We highly recommend! RACHEL IS THE BEST!!!”

“Rachel can do no wrong. Period. Being a headshot photographer, I need a makeup artist I can rely on to show up on time and work their magic efficiently and she does just that and then some. Not only does she arrive early but stays as long as possible to make sure the job is done and done well. Plus, she’s always got a pep in her step and a song ready to be sung. She’s an absolute joy to work with and I wish I could force all of my clients to hire her.”
— Leah Huebner, headshot photographer
“Rachel is incredibly talented, passionate, and kind - the best combo you could ever hope for in a makeup artist. She’s professional yet super approachable, and you’ll feel like you’ve known her for years after sitting in her chair for only a few minutes. Rachel will transform you, but you’ll still feel like yourself - only 1000x better. She has an amazing attention to detail and listens to exactly what you want. I can’t recommend her highly enough!!”

“Rachel is my absolute favorite makeup artist to work with, hands down! She takes extreme care in her application; her precision and attention to detail separate her from the rest. Rachel is the only makeup artist I trust for red carpet. She is a great collaborator who is able to see the entire look when she creates, not just the makeup. Whenever I get my makeup done, I’m usually a little scared about what my face will look like after. That is until I met Rachel. She takes time before the application to clarify exactly what is needed makeup-wise. If we’re doing a red carpet look, we talk in detail about the dress, accessories, hair, and entire ensemble. We also discuss what I’ll be doing. If it’s a long dinner, we usually stay away from a strong lip, if I’m dancing, she’ll use extra powder, etc. She thinks about the external factors at play and how to best maintain the makeup for the necessary period of time. When working on set, we talk about what the character is doing in the story, what kind of makeup she would really be applying, and how to best create that look in the most real way possible. Rachel sees the Big Picture every time she creates a look, and she is always eager to talk with me about my thoughts before, during, and after, so I’m never unpleasantly surprised! Rachel is extremely professional, hygienic, prompt, and reliable. She doesn’t miss a beat, and her work is proof of that. Rachel and I have worked together for over two years on a variety of different projects and looks. She is my favorite makeup artist to work with, and always my first call when I have an event, premiere, or photoshoot. I always feel my most beautiful after sitting in her chair! And the products she has recommended to me for both skincare and beauty are now a part of my daily routine (I’m looking at you, Fresh Rose face mask!).”

“There is no one I trust with my face more than Rachel. She posses that amazing trifecta of make-up artist skills: she’s technically amazing at what she does, she has a gift for understanding character and expressing it in makeup, and she has a down-to-earth realness and great sense of humor that always put me completely at ease. I’ve worked with Rachel both on set, getting ready for big auditions, and on headshot shoots, and I always leave her chair feeling excited, confident, and ready to work. I can’t recommend Rachel highly enough. Her attention to detail, intuitiveness, and occasional bawdy joke will make you wish she could do your makeup every day. Trust.”
