I was seriously concerned about looking over done and "too bridal" and Rachael totally got where I was coming from and made sure I still looked like me (but just much better than usual....). She did a really incredible job and my make up lasted amazingly all day. She made us all feel so calm on the day and is an absolute babe to be around.
Would 100% recommend Rachael to anyone who wants a fresh, natural glow and to feel like themselves on their wedding day (which to me was so important)!
I was made to feel very welcome as soon as I walked in the door. Her makeup selection was amazing and everything on display was nice and clean - she also washed her hands lots which I appreciated!
We developed a look for the evening together and I had an amazing time in the process. She's also super lovely. Highly recommend!
Rachael helped me feel comfortable with my indecisions in that she was up to experiment with the general look we were going for, so the bridal trial felt experimental yet focused on the overall natural 'no-makeup' look we were going for. We also experimented with a few different hairstyles, and she advised on the various hair clips that could go along with them. I personally don't know much about hair accessories, so Rachael's guidance even after the trial on hair clip options were super helpful in narrowing down on my decision.
Most importantly, I appreciated Rachael's punctuality-- she was always on schedule or early whether it be the arrival for the trial or the arrival on the wedding morning. She did a fantastic job of breaking down a schedule for hair and makeup for myself, my mom and my sister-- everything worked out on time. And last but not least, Rachael got along with our photographer and our florist (whom she coincidently knew from uni!). The vibe was very fun, comfortable and easy with everyone around in the hotel room, which made for relaxed photos on the morning of the wedding. I highly recommend Rachael if you're chill and down-to-earth yourself. She's an amazing professional and awesome human!
