Tired of having drawers full of makeup mistakes? Hate that last snapshot someone tagged you in on social media? Want to look younger? More “hip?” More polished? More professional? More sexy?
Aaron saw a real need for women to feel more confident about their ability to transform their own appearance. He was constantly approached by women who were frustrated with wasting money on products that didn’t work, were wrong for them, or that they did not know how to use properly.
They would often purchase the product because a magazine’s beauty editor gave it a “top pick” or the beauty advisor at the mall talked them into buying a pricey product. Women spend, on average, $100 a month on beauty products and may not know how to use them.
Why not take a small fraction of your yearly beauty budget and actually invest it in gaining more knowledge? Learn how to shop for cosmetics, how to apply them yourself, and have lots of fun doing it. By taking a FACEing Class you can walk into that beauty specialty store empowered with confidence!

I wish I had a major event to attend everyday just so I could get the chance to keep working with Aaron. Katie V.
Aaron is so personable and fun that the entire bridal party was able to just relax and enjoy themselves while he made them beautiful. And when I say he made them beautiful, I mean absolutely stunning! Katie M.
I absolutely loved the makeup but I especially enjoyed working with Aaron! Brittany L.
I had a vision in my head of how I wanted to look on my wedding day, and BRIDEface Richmond was able to bring that vision to life! He made me feel confident and pretty; exactly how a bride should feel on her wedding day! Katina V.
He has a brilliant energy which is exactly the kind of happy, fun vibe I wanted around me on my wedding day. He’s an artist and it shows throughout his work. Alycia C.
From the moment he arrived on the day of the wedding, ALL of my bridesmaids were in love with him! They said that they had never felt more beautiful than they did that day! Katie H.
I don't wear makeup on a daily basis and can honestly say that I did not feel like I was wearing any makeup that day. I felt magnificent! Alicia C.
Aaron is incredibly talented and can make anyone look absolutely stunning. But more than that, Aaron is a ton of fun to be around and helped me to feel relaxed all day. Katie M.
After two minutes with Aaron, you feel at ease and know he is a true professional! Even with a wide age range of girls, from my 8 and 17 year old to my 70 year old mother we all felt stunning! Gretchen B.
He really took the time to listen to what I wanted, which really makes a difference. I have found my new makeup artist for life!!! Kimberly J.
He was responsive, patient, positive, upbeat, and fun. Not to mention, he did a fantastic job making me and my whole wedding party look flawless. BRIDEface Richmond is for anyone who is looking for a wedding day makeup artist who is reliable and easy to get along with, as well as very good at what they do. Devan H.
I can truly say that from the time of my first inquiry about the services, to hugging him goodbye on my wedding day, each and every interaction with him exceeded my expectations. Anna P.
If someone were coming at our faces with a blush brush, we would want to ask a few questions first, too. We welcome them all because, honestly, you’ve most likely never had to hire a professional makeup artist – and that’s okay! Here are a few questions we get the most. Click on a question to reveal the answer.
We know that most daily makeup routines don’t include an airbrush machine and false lashes. What we believe is that on your wedding day, you want to look the most beautiful you have ever looked in your entire life, right?
We’re not in the business of making girls look like someone they aren’t. We’re in the business of enhancing your best self, using what we call “stealth makeup” – the kind that brings out all your best features and downplays the features you get squeamish about (We all have them. It’s a part of life).
Yes, if not for any other reason than to be pampered for the day. You might be a little jittery the morning of your wedding and we both know a shaky hand and eyeliner are a horrible combination. One little mistake could send any of us over the edge on a typical Tuesday, so in our opinion, there’s no reason for the added pressure of applying your own makeup on your wedding day.
Most daily makeup needs to hang in there from about 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. And that’s without smiling constantly, smooching your man, hugging his neck (and all the other guests that are going to want to get their mitts on you) and making sure that after all that, the makeup is going to survive for photos. I’m guessing you dropped a pretty penny on your photographer, so you want to make sure you’re happy with your photos when you get them back. Professional makeup is made for the long haul and most importantly, it will look natural both in person and on camera.
Oh airbrush, how we sing your praises! We’ve all seen those fantastic t-shirts from the carnivals, right? The artist sprays on a mist of color to add as much or little color in a very controlled manner. The same idea goes for the application of airbrush foundation, producing a lightweight and breathable finish. Its almost much easier to even out your complexion without feeling heavy in those areas that need a little more coverage.
Professional cameras also “read” airbrush foundation much better, as the foundation goes on in a pixelated manner, much like the pixels that make up a digital photo.
Sure! But here are a few things to keep in mind. First and foremost, bridal salons – no matter how early you book your appointment – are notorious for running behind. That alone stresses me out and I’m not even the one getting married. Most makeup artists at the salons are hairdressers that can also apply makeup, which means they may not be the most seasoned makeup artist. They could go weeks or months without applying makeup on a client and the makeup lines they carry in-house are usually for day-to-day wear and not made to be camera ready.
The biggest downside to having your makeup done in a salon is you most likely won’t be able to hang out with your bridal party, as you’ll be at the makeup station in a separate part of the salon as your girls.
You sure do! Who doesn’t love lashes?! We use lashes that are individually applied clusters instead of the strips. The individual lashes look much more natural, feel virtually weightless and in close-up photos, you look like you have killer lashes! Plus, you don’t have worry about the edges starting to lift up since we apply the clusters at the base of your individual lashes.
Once you’ve jumped down from the chair, your makeup is pretty indestructible (unless Aunt Margie gets a hold of you with those Revlon Red lips), but we suggest you carry some blotting papers or a powder compact and your lip color. These are both items we can discuss during our trial run and you can purchase beforehand (I use my own line of lip color, so that’s an easy one to grab at the trial).
Or, if you want to make sure you’re prepared for anything, we have a package that offers our services throughout the day. Some of our past clients have opted for a more reserved look for the ceremony during the day and then opt to go a little more dramatic for the reception at night.
Your trial is laid back and casual. We get to play a bit and test some color palettes, talk about the looks you love and find what look makes you feel the best. Just bring a photo of your dress, a photo of how you plan to wear your hair, a few looks you love and the colors of your wedding. This will give me the perfect picture of your wedding day and together we’ll create a look that fits your style.
The products we use are hypoallergenic and we’ll have the chance to try them out at your trial. If it’s one of your members of the bridal party or one of the mothers, bring her along to your trial and we can work together to see what will work best. If coming with you isn’t an option, we’d love to have a chat with her about what products she found to be irritants so we can customize her makeup application.
Your bridal package gives you 50 miles in travel free. If your wedding takes place outside of that zone, there is a small per mile fee that we will added to your final invoice.
We need you and your beautifully naked face! That’s about it. We bring a tall chair, the largest suitcase on earth packed with makeup, fresh breath as we do tend to get close, and a calm demeanor. If we can set up in natural light, that would be fantastic, but we can bring some additional lighting if needed.
Disclaimer: Kits may vary amongst artists, but each BRIDEface Richmond artist travels with the best products currently available. Some examples are Laura Mercier, Bobbi Brown, NARS, Temptu, Urban Decay, Benefit, Smashbox, Chanel and Cover FX . We are kind of makeup junkies. Some would call it hoarding, but whatever! We are constantly trying new products to make sure we’re armed and ready for every face that sits in the chair.
