Get Ready With Me as a Makeup Artist

A Wedding Makeup Artist’s Get Ready With Me | Charlotte, NC

There’s something special about the mornings I get to prepare for a wedding — not just my bride’s glam, but also my own. Today I was getting ready to work my bride Reaghan’s wedding at the beautiful Duke Mansion here in Charlotte, NC. I always keep my personal makeup quick, easy, and polished so I can focus on creating magic for my clients while still looking professional.

Here’s what I used for my “wedding day artist” look:

Skin Prep + Base

• Tatcha | The Longevity Serum for hydration and radiance

• Rhode | Glazing Mist + Peptide Lip Tint for a fresh glow and soft lips

• Armani Beauty | Skin Tint for a lightweight, flawless base

• YSE Beauty | Wide Awake for bright under eyes

• RMS Beauty | Revitalize Hydra Concealer to perfect and conceal

Setting + Dimension

• Givenchy | Prisme Libre Pressed Powder to lock everything in

• ONE/SIZE | Bouclé Silk Powder for a smooth finish

• Hourglass | Ambient Lighting Bronzer for natural warmth

Color + Glow

• Sweed Beauty | Air Blush Cream in Doll Face for a fresh flush

• YSL | Make Me Blush in 93 + Loveshine Lip Oil in 150 for a soft, luminous lip

Eyes + Brows

• Shiseido | Lash Curler for a lifted lash

• Makeup by Mario | Eyeliner in Bronze for subtle definition

• Charlotte Tilbury | Exagge-Eyes Mascara for length and volume

• Rare Beauty | Brow Gel for hold

• Anastasia Beverly Hills | Brow Powder Duo for soft definition

Lips

• DIBS Beauty | Lip Liner in Debrief for a polished finish

This look is my go-to when I’m working a wedding: natural, elevated, and long-wearing. It gives me a fresh, professional appearance without taking the spotlight away from my brides.
