Professional Makeup Artist Services by Brook Richards.
When you look beautiful you feel beautiful and that’s the kind of happiness I try to give to women everyday.
4 years ago I was diagnosed with Invasive Melanoma and with this tragic news, I decided to take a break from my Design Consulting business and spend time with my husband and littles. During this time and after much contemplation I decided to follow another passion of mine, beauty and skincare. I started working at Cos Bar in Vail, CO - a luxury multi-brand beauty retailer of excellence. During my time at Cos Bar, I had training with Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Yves Saint Laurent, Giorgio Armani, Chantecaille, Clinique, La Prairie, Cle De Peau, La Mer and Sisely. Wow, so many talented and inspirational makeup artist I had the pleasure to learn from and hone in my expertise.
My passion is to make women feel beautiful in their own skin, and that comes from confidence. I love this quote from Bobbie Brown, “I believe all women are pretty without makeup, and can be pretty powerful with the right makeup.” I love people and I am passionate about teaching women how to apply their makeup correctly so that they can feel confident and beautiful each and every day. I look forward to meeting you and can’t wait to enhance your beauty! When you look good, you feel good.

Of all the reasons to hire a professional makeup artist and hair stylist for your wedding day, this may be the single most important benefit. Take it from experienced brides... your wedding day is guaranteed to be busy and will likely include a few unexpected challenges, so don’t let your appearance be one of them. You shouldn’t have to spend time worrying if your eyeliner is straight while ensuring that your vendors deliver on time. Any reputable artist that is a professional will meet with you prior to your wedding day to do a trial run of the makeup look or hairstyle you want. On the day-of, your beauty team rolls in, on location, and knows your skin type, your desired outcome, your theme, and any complications in the trial. P.S. Your photographer will love you for it

Most products are waterproof and longwear, that means they will last throughout your entire day while still looking and feeling natural.
Of course, this is most likely the main reason why you would hire a makeup artist, you want to look your best.

"Brook is the best... No, But really! She was a key member in what made my wedding day so stinkin' special. One week before our big day, I received a call that the original hairstylist and makeup artist would not be available for mine and my momma's services. We were bummed, but had to get into gear Quick to find someone to get us dolled up for that day. Luckily, Brook was available and having never met her (we live in Texas, but flew to Vail for the wedding), it could have been a nerve wracking experience. She was so pleasant over the phone and went into great detail for our consultation. We were comforted by her confidence and sweet nature. When the wedding day finally arrived, she not only did an amazing job with our makeup, but she was an absolute doll to be around. I would 100% recommend Brook for her makeup talents as well as the personable experience she provides to her clients. " Love, One Very Happy Bride - Riley Snow

"I met with Brook at the CosBar as I needed help updating my look. I do love makeup but Brook walked me through the proper way to apply it, and it was so interesting to see how applying what I had differently changed my looked and made my skin glow! Best tips… Take care of your skin, hydrate, put lotion on then wait a bit before applying foundation, apply liner across the entire upper lid and use eyeshadow under the eye for a softer look. I especially loved learning how to apply bronzer correctly! Loved working with Brook and highly recommend her." Vail Real Estate Agent
