“LOOK NO FURTHER, CHRISTINE IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I feel so lucky to have found Christine for my wedding makeup because she was everything I was looking for and more! I did a makeup trial with someone else that went terribly and was scrambling to find a new makeup artist less than two months before my wedding. I am truly so grateful I found Christine. Her talent speaks for itself, just check out her Instagram page (https://www.instagram.com/christinecouturecormier/). I had my first video consultation with Christine the day after I found her, and we discussed what went wrong with the first person and what I was hoping to achieve for my wedding day look. Not only was it clear that she knew what I was looking for, but she also had amazing ideas about the entire makeup experience on my wedding day that I hadn’t even thought of. Your makeup artist is SO important because you’ll have these photos forever and they’re the first vendor you interact with so they help set the mood for the day. Christine was an incredible presence the whole time she was there. She and the second makeup artist Lindsey made me and my entire bridal party look and feel amazing! Christine made incredible content with me and my bridal party and she was also there for my first look. She was the perfect calming presence I needed for the most exciting but stressful moment of the day. She helped fluff my dress and took photos and videos I was able to have immediately after the first look. You want to feel confident that your makeup artist is going to make you look and feel amazing, and I promise you can trust Christine with that! My guests were raving about my makeup! I felt done up and more special than my everyday makeup, but I still felt and looked like myself. Also the makeup lasted all night long! She is worth every single penny!! If you pick Christine to be your makeup artist you will not regret it!”

She also remembered some of the issues we had with the style at the preview and modified it to make it work best for the day. She brought extra bobby pins and hairspray and showed up perfectly on time (in fact she was a little early!). She was great and I highly recommend her!

“I feel so incredibly lucky to have gotten to work with Tai for my March 2025 wedding. I had never gotten my makeup professionally done before, and honestly had some nerves going into the process. I knew from pictures that I felt like Tai’s style fit what I was envisioning, and in the first minutes of meeting Tai, I knew I was in good hands. She is such a kind and bubbly person, the trial felt like catching up with an old friend. Seeing myself in the mirror both on the trial and on the wedding day, I felt truly beautiful and confident. I felt like me, but elevated. On top of that, she also helped to cover a scar that I got on my back from an unexpected procedure a month prior to my wedding. I felt so insecure about it, and she was able to cover it with ease. As for the look itself, it lasted all night, through happy tears and a hot dance floor. One of the best wedding vendors out there, would definitely work with her again!!”

Hi! My name is Alaina and I have been a makeup artist professionally for just over 10 years and also have been a licensed Esthetician in NC since 2010- Proud Aveda Alumni! I LOVE meeting new people and helping them feel and look their best, while also making it a comfy and safe experience for you! When you LOOK good, you FEEL good. And I truly believe that. I specialize in natural bridal and special event makeup, and have been known to go a little crazy for Halloween too. Fun facts: I'm a busy dog mom of 4, and when I'm not doing makeup looks, you could probably find me rappelling down a mountain or hiking on a trail.

“I hired Alaina as my hair and makeup artist for my October 2025 wedding and I absolutely could not have found or asked for anyone better!! Her talent, patience, kindness, and professionalism exceeded my expectations and I cannot recommend her enough. We did a H/MU trial a few months before the big day and I changed my mind on quite a few things I said I originally wanted. Alaina was so flexible and patient with me and had a lot of knowledge on how to make my vision come to life and she knocked it out of the park! Alaina and her assistant also did H/MU for my entire bridal party and all of my girls were so impressed with their work, one of my bridesmaids even said she loved her look more that day than she did at her own wedding and wished she had found Starlit sooner! Alaina’s presence really helped calm my nerves and made the morning so carefree, fun, and unforgettable. She is such a sweetheart and I can’t speak highly enough of her!”

My passion is ensuring every bride not only looks flawless on her special day, but leaves my chair feeling confident, celebrated, and unforgettable.

“I was in a wedding 2 years ago and needed a makeup artist. I came across KD’s work through another friend, because she had done her face for her wedding and it was stunning. I’m not makeup oriented, but when I want to look dolled up I don’t want to look like a completely different person. While KDs range of work spans from Soft glam to dramatic, she gave me exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t want to be caked up full of makeup, I wanted to still look like myself just enhanced a little. I loved it! And here I am attending another event this year where I wanted a complete look, and KD is my go to. She is worth booking over and over again, she’s super professional, sweet and kind. She’s informative, can educate you on what she’s doing without making one feel uncomfortable or small due to the lack of knowledge. She has a beautiful spirit and it shines in her work.

“Jess with Beauty By Jess was truly amazing! I had never had professional makeup done before and Jess eased my nerves, talked to me about my overall vision, and executed it flawlessly. Jess checked in after my trial to make sure I was happy with everything and constantly asked my opinion. I truly could not have asked for a better makeup stylist on my wedding day!”
