Renee Bruhn, Makeup Artist

Makeup Artist

I have been trained by and work regularly with the top makeup artists, photographers and other wedding vendors in the Pacific Northwest. As a licensed esthetician I am stringent about sanitation and keeping my kit stocked with professional grade, non-comedogenic products, and tools that ensure your look will last.

I'm in love with this profession that challenges me to grow with ever-changing trends and continuous education, provides me a creative outlet with a beautifully diverse palette of faces, and allows me to connect with people and meet their needs on one of the most special days in their lives.

It is critically important to me to communicate well throughout the process, from inquiry to review; I want my clients to not only feel respected and heard but also that they are partnering with me in achieving their vision.

While I am excited to display skills through a range of styles, my esthetic falls under the Fine Art genre because I love being drawn into the subtleties of light and color. Read more

    Renee was so great and was one of my favorite vendors for our wedding. So patient, really responsive and extremely accommodating. She was a calming presence on such a crazy day. We all looked gorgeous and still felt fresh until the wee hours of the night. Thank you Renee!!

    Renee Bruhn did a fantastic job! Our wedding was 1920's speakeasy themed and I wanted a look that would last through costume changes and dancing all night. Renee made me a beautiful bride! My hair and makeup were exactly what I wanted. Renee offered a practice day before the big day and it was so worth it. I still remember the moment I saw Renee's finished product before the ceremony, I was stunned and so very pleased! Thank you!!!!

    Renee is kind and helpful, she listens and act to the need of customer. I wanted a certain type of look and I got it. She is not pushy at all which I loved it since I am very picky about certain things. My makeup did not melt all night with crazy dancing and emotional moments. My extensions did not move either. Everyone complimented all night long. Which was the BEST thing on the top. :)
    Thank you so much.

    Renee did my makeup for my engagement pictures, my hair & makeup for my wedding, and my sister's and mom's hair & makeup for my wedding, and she was absolutely wonderful with all of it! ... The day of the wedding, she was an incredibly calming presence on what is otherwise a very hectic morning, and my mom and sister absolutely loved how they looked. ... Renee made me look and feel like myself - just with way better hair and makeup than I could ever do!

    Renee did my makeup for a photo shoot this past weekend. I could not be more pleased with my experience. I can be picky when it comes to letting other people take over, but she did a fantastic job. I asked for a natural look and that is what I got. Plus, She was super sweet and fun to talk to which made it even better! Definitely call Renee if you are looking to get your makeup done. She also does makeup lessons and would be a great person to learn from!
