About me
I love the industry I'm in!
Rachel Alexander is a bespoke brand. Nothing gives me more pleasure than working with a client to produce a look that's tailored to suit them. Colours are matched to the client's skin tone, eye colour and outfit, which means that no two clients ever have the same make-up. As an advanced artist I don't take a look and use a 'best fit' option to project an image onto you; no-one wants to look exactly the same as everyone else in their bridal/prom/graduation photographs! And I don't restrict myself to one make-up brand or try to sell you make-up products. Rather, the image, colours and products that I use are tailored to you, to bring out the best of your features, because you are individual and unique. See what's in my kit (click here)
The most fun part of my job, apart from playing with colour and hue, is getting to know you. Other than your finished look, the most important thing is having a raport with your make-up artist. You need to feel comfortable with the artist that you hire. So talk to me! Tell me about you; your likes and dislikes, loves and hates when it comes to make-up and your finished look. The more you can tell me, the better your finished result will be, until you have a look that is perfect!
