Browse 13 makeup artists in United States, rated 5 out of 5 across 28 reviews from real clients. Most work mobile and travel to the venue, covering bridal and occasion makeup, editorial and photographic work, and special effects for stage and screen. Prices start from $70, with most bookings around $200.
Bridal bookings usually include a trial some weeks before the day, charged separately or folded into the package, so check which. Timings matter more than most people expect: allow around 45 minutes for the bride and 30 for each additional face, and confirm how many artists are coming if a large party has to be ready by the same hour.

Wedding Videographers in United StatesMakeup artists in United States travel to the venue with their own kit and work to the light and the camera as much as to the face. Most cover bridal and occasion looks, with some also taking editorial, film and special effects work.
Ask whether a trial is included and when it happens, since a trial close to the day leaves no room to change direction. Check how long each face takes and how many artists are coming, because a bridal party of six is a very different booking from one. Skin type, allergies and whether the look has to last twelve hours under lights are all worth raising early.
Rates for bridal work in United States run from $70 to $750, with most bookings around $200. A trial, an early start and travel to the venue are the usual extras, and film or special effects work is charged differently again because of the hours involved.

Makeup by Elle
"What a wonderful find! Elle is a talented, highly skilled and professional artist, and it was a pleasure to work with her. I would recommend her in a heartbeat"
BeautyLynk
"Flawless from Start to “I Do”!
I cannot rave enough about BeautyLynk’s wedding services! From the moment I booked, everything felt so seamless and personal. The team took the time to understand my vision and made me feel so pampered throughout the entire process.
Before my big day, they provided a custom pre-skincare regimen that included a gentle exfoliation guide, hydration masks, and serum recommendations tailored to my skin type. My skin was glowing—like next-level radiant—before a single drop of makeup even touched it.
The makeup artist was incredible. She gave me a timeless, camera-ready look that lasted all day and night. And let’s talk about the glueless lashes—game changer! They were weightless, secure, and gave my eyes the perfect touch of glam without the discomfort. No glue, no mess—just effortless beauty.
If you're a bride looking for a luxury experience that still feels down-to-earth and deeply personal, BeautyLynk is it. I felt confident, calm, and completely beautiful. Don’t walk—RUN to book them for your wedding.
— A forever grateful bride 💍✨"
Makeup and Hair by Cecilia Acquaroli
"Cecilia was an absolute pleasure to work with. I booked her for my wedding in Tuscany, and although we weren’t able to do an in-person makeup trial, she was incredibly thorough during our video consultation. She took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for and walked me through every step of the application on the wedding day, explaining what she was doing, why she was doing it, and the result we were aiming to achieve.
What I appreciated most was how collaborative she was throughout the process. She listened carefully to my feedback and made sure I felt comfortable and confident every step of the way. The final look was exactly what I had hoped for: natural, beautiful, and completely me.
Most importantly, Cecilia made me feel calm, confident, and beautiful as I prepared to walk down the aisle. I loved working with her and would highly recommend her to any bride looking for a talented, professional, and thoughtful makeup artist."
THE BEAUTY ADVENTURES Arianna Goldoni
"Arianna was able to reflect my personality and highlight my features; she fulfilled all my requests with creativity and flexibility! The makeup on the wedding day was even more special than the one during the trial and lasted perfectly until late at night. She was also very skilled at managing the time available, having to do makeup not only for me but also for four bridesmaids. Highly recommended!"

The final result exceeded my expectations, and I received numerous compliments on my hair and makeup throughout the event. Kiran's professionalism, creativity, and skill make her an exceptional choice for anyone looking for top-notch hair and makeup services.
