Raven Reed is everything. From the moment we met, I felt instantly connected to her—she’s real, grounding, and just has this calm energy that’s rare and so needed, especially for someone like me who’s naturally anxious. On my wedding day, her presence was honestly cosmic. The relationship I built with her is one I will cherish and was a highlight of the wedding process!
And the makeup? I felt like a straight-up goddess- I didn't even know it was possible to look how I did and still feel like myself. She understood exactly what I wanted (even when I couldn’t articulate it), and somehow created a look that was more perfect than I could’ve dreamed of. Her talent is insane—flawless, elevated, and still felt totally like me. I trusted her completely, and she delivered in every possible way. Raven is magic.

I had the absolute pleasure of having Raven Reed do my makeup for my wedding, and I cannot express how incredible the experience was. From the moment I met Raven, she was so relaxed and kind, instantly putting me at ease on what could have been a very stressful day. Her calming presence and warm demeanor made the entire process feel like a breeze.
Raven truly has a gift for making people feel their most beautiful. She listened carefully to what I wanted and exceeded my expectations in every way. The makeup she did was flawless—elegant, natural, and exactly what I had envisioned. I have never felt more confident and radiant than I did on my wedding day, and I owe that to Raven’s exceptional talent.
If you’re looking for a makeup artist who is not only incredibly skilled but also kind-hearted and calming, look no further than Raven Reed. She is simply the best!

I worked with Raven for my city hall wedding makeup and she went above and beyond my expectations. She took her time, listened to what I wanted, and delivered exactly what I was looking for. She is extremely professional and attentive, and it’s clear she loves what she does.
I’ve had my makeup done many times and Raven was my best experience by a long shot. I cannot speak highly enough about her skill and professionalism. She uses high quality products and places high value on skin health and prepping your skin properly. If you’re getting married, or need makeup done for any other reason, 100% recommend Raven!
