  • Starts at $500
  • Serves Chicago, IL

Hi there! I’m Jacquee. I am a licensed esthetician and freelance makeup artist. I was trained in makeup artistry and hair design at Make Up First in Chicago. My esthetics training was completed at the Universal Spa Training Academy in Downers Grove. So now that we’ve got that out of the way let’s talk about what I can help you with! I’m well versed in all areas of makeup from beauty and bridal to commercial, theatrical, and even special effects. I’m just as comfortable working on a film set as I am working with my brides. I enjoy making people feel good about themselves and I put my all into everything I do.

Picking a makeup artist was one of the things I was most worried about but Jacquee and her team did a phenomenal job working with my entire party! The girls all looked beautiful, my mom was stunning, and I felt like a more beautiful, polished version of myself (which was exactly what I wanted). I couldn't be happier with the results! Thanks Jacquee!!

Erin Smith Beauty Creations was a joy to work with for my wedding day glam. Erin's communication style is quick, efficient, and easy-going, which helped keep everything organized leading up to the big day. On the wedding day itself, Erin was a calming presence who helped soothe my nerves. She is highly adaptable and made sure I felt comfortable and like myself in the makeup look she created. I wanted a natural glam that accentuated my features without going overboard, and that's exactly what Erin delivered. The end result was beautiful and had all my guests complimenting how radiant I looked. Plus, Erin's rates are very reasonable for the area considering the high quality of her work and attentive service. I couldn't recommend Erin highly enough for any bride's wedding day beauty needs!

I can’t say enough amazing things about Ann!

I showed Ann a few inspiration pictures, and at the trial she absolutely exceeded my expectations!! I couldn’t stop looking at the pictures leading up to my wedding. The day of, Ann showed up on time, set up quickly, and was clear about any other items she needed. She stuck to our timeline and gave ever girl the look they asked for flawlessly.

It is such an honor to be a part of someone’s special day. It truly fills my heart, and I look forward to building ongoing relationships with every one of my clients.

      Shannon O'Brien 

      5.0

      • Team of 4
      • Starts at $1,000 per person
      • Serves Chicago, IL

      Shannon and her team explore the captivating world of shape and color from a place of openness and expertise, with the conviction that beauty isn’t meant to be covered up, it’s meant to be celebrated. Creating looks for you to transcend without transforming who you are on your big day.

      One of the FIRST pieces of advice I had when I got engaged was to hire Shannon O'Brien. And easily, that was one of the BEST pieces of advice I had. I booked her before I had any other information about my wedding at my fingertips. I was too afraid that if I didn't get her locked down right away, that I'd always have wished I did that first and foremost. Shannon is truly delightful. She comes ready to work with a smile and a suitcase full of cosmetics more organized than some makeup stores. She is a true artist and works everyone's face like a canvas- she can make anyone look like a complete goddess. I hired her to do my makeup, as well as my bridal party, mother, and mother-in-law and EVERYONE left saying that they haven't looked that good EVER. I know you're supposed to wash your face every night before bed ESPECIALLY when you have makeup on, but I have to say that I was very hesitant to listen to that rule- both times she did my makeup (after the trial and after the wedding). I've truly never felt or looked better and it was all in part to her makeup magic. She is a makeup wizard and her wand is a brush. Another great thing is, she allows you to give input. She lets you tell her how you feel best, what you think looks best on you, to bring in pictures of inspiration looks- and then she also gives you suggestions. She told me to expect that things may shift a little on the wedding day, as things like a tan, etc can change some of the makeup that may not have been done exactly at the trial. The look she did for my wedding wasn't a far cry from the trial, but I loved it even more! After seeing my hair and the whole look for the day, she felt inspired to do something a little different and there's nobody I'd blindly trust more with their makeup work than Shannon. In fact, if she never said a thing about what she planned to do and just went to town on my face, I'd have been thrilled. She's just THAT good. Aside from her amazing talent and artistry is her attitude. A HUGE thing for me was having a positive feeling in the room as I was preparing for the day. Someone that would add radiance and she did just that. Her disposition is sunny and she made everyone feel like the most beautiful person (inside and out). She brings an air of fun to the room, which, of course, is always welcome. Trust me on this, you'll be looking for any excuse after your wedding to have her do your makeup again. Just book her- there is no way you'll regret it.

        My name is Torie Conn. I work full-time as a Professional Makeup Artist in Chicago, and wherever my clients take me. With over a decade of experience working in commercial, editorial, and Film/TV, my passion is Bridal Makeup. I adore forming a relationship with my brides, focused on one of the most important days of their live. My one on one process allows my brides and I to create a timeless beauty look for their special day. My goal is to make my brides look and feel like the best version of themselves!

        From my trial, to rehearsal dinner, to wedding day, Torie made me feel like my most beautiful, best self. During my trial, she gave me some amazing recommendations that transformed my skin throughout the months before wedding day. Come rehearsal and wedding day, she listened very intently to some of the slight changes I wanted to make and executed flawlessly. I have never felt prettier, but also still myself, than I did on my wedding day. And that makeup LASTED ALL NIGHT. And to top it all off, she is such a joyful presence. I was very intentional about wanting to hire vendors who added a positive presence to the day and Torie did just that. I would recommend her a million times over!

        I would absolutely recommend i.elle Beauty for your wedding day needs! They are extremely professional and amazing to work with. Danielle was super thorough from inquiry to the last moments of getting ready on wedding day. She took her time during our trial to fully understand what I was looking for and made sure that the end result was satisfactory. She also went above and beyond past trial to make sure that I was still happy with the results and fully prepared for the big day. I also appreciated the extra steps to make sure that every single person was taken care of and not just the bride! i.elle made sure they understood what my bridesmaids/mothers expected ahead of time and this made for a very smooth process for everyone! I had in total 11 people that used their services and every single person was happy with their result. The i.elle crew was fun, easy to work with, and brought the best vibes to our morning. If you're looking for a talented group and an overall non-stressful process, they are the perfect fit!
