"Growing up in a creative family, I always had an innate eye for color, which ignited my passion for makeup from an early age. It wasn't until after college that I decided to explore whether a career in the beauty industry was my true calling. My journey began at Austin-based Rae Cosmetics, where I received professional training in makeup artistry. During my time there, I had the privilege of working with clients spanning TV, film, editorial, runway, and bridal.

"For more than 10 years, I've had the privilege of working as a freelance makeup artist and a licensed esthetician within Austin's dynamic wedding industry. It's been an incredible journey, turning my dream into a reality. Throughout this time, I've had the pleasure of collaborating with numerous beautiful brides, working closely with them to bring their unique wedding day visions to life. Whether you lean towards a natural, glamorous, or something-in-between look, I'm genuinely excited to be part of your journey and help you make your wedding day dreams a reality."

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS AND REVIEWS

"Would hire her again in a heartbeat!

Review: Holly was a perfect fit. As with most wedding day's, the day was a bit chaotic and I was super anxious because we were running behind schedule. Holly showed up to the event with a great attitude, big smile, and true excitement for her work. Her easy-going personality had a wonderful calming effect and immediately put me at ease. She's super talented and created the looks for both my daughter and I with very little guidance. I showed her pictures of the event space, my dress, and within minutes she had a vision for what our makeup should look like. I received TONS of compliments throughout the night and the pictures turned out fabulous. The makeup looked just as good at 3pm as it did at midnight. Holly had created a custom color lipstick for me which I kept close by for touch-ups which was much appreciated. I would happily recommend Holly to friends and family and would hire her again in a heartbeat! -Heather S.

"The best makeup artist I have ever worked with!”

Review: Holly was the best makeup artist I think I've ever worked with. As someone who does not wear much makeup on a daily basis, I was concerned I would look overdone on my wedding day. That was not the case at all! She listened to my concerns (having had bad experiences in the past) and the outcome was perfect. I had nothing to worry about. She matched colors beautifully, it was flawless. Every bridesmaid was beautiful as well! She was a dream to work with and, if I ever need makeup done again I would absolutely go back to her. -Kathleen M.

“Holly is absolutely amazing!”

Holly is absolutely amazing! She is a true artist and knows how to give each person an unique look that fits their style. I had a wonderful experience with her. Holly was always on time, in fact she was always at least 15 minutes early to each of our appointments. She worked with me on changing our times around to fit all my girls in for the wedding. I never had to worry about contact, she always contacted me with updates and/or confirming our dates and times. My makeup looked so gorgeous every time! I went with a more glam look for my wedding. However, I had many bridesmaids that go for a more natural look and she killed all of it. She can literally do it all and wants to make sure you love the look you are getting. Best of all she has a great personality! She loves what she is doing and is a great person to have on your team for your big day or any other fun event!
