About 1Makeupman
Russell Borns
My passion has been, and always will be, to serve others. I’m passionately married to my wife of 18 years and truly love the art of marriage! To be chosen for a couples special day is an honor and a privilege, which I am incredibly grateful for. I love building community and am proud of the relationships that I have built throughout my life journey.
Throughout my 25 year career I have been blessed to have been a part of hundreds of weddings, creating lasting friendships with many of my clients. My makeup philosophy is simple; “Your makeup should enhance your beautiful features much like your jewelry enhances your attire.” Repetition is the mother of skill which carries into my makeup artistry as well as my ability to keep a bride calm and relaxed.

Russell is a fantastic makeup artist and person!!
If you would like to look and feel your absolute best, look no further than Russell! He will go above and beyond to make your make up dreams a reality. He is kind, patient, professional, and extremely talented. Not only that, his hair team (shout out Andrea) is also incredible! They are truly a special group of people who bring such a positive and amazing energy to the day. They care about what they do and will do anything needed to make everyone look and feel their best! I can’t say enough good things! I hope to work with Russell again one day!!
Life savers!
Russell and his team at 1Makeup Man were nothing short of lifesavers for my wedding. When I had to find a new hair and makeup team at the last minute, I was terrified I wouldn’t find anyone in time. But from the moment I spoke with Russell on the phone, I knew he was the one. He listened carefully, understood exactly what I was looking for, and reassured me that I would feel like myself on my wedding day—and he delivered on that promise. Russell was incredibly warm and welcoming during my trial, which put me at ease immediately. Ashley handled my hair, and she was so patient and attentive as we figured out the perfect style. She listened to my (admittedly vague) ideas and turned them into the most beautiful look for my big day. Mallory took care of makeup and was just as fantastic. None of us in the wedding party wear much makeup, and she created natural, elegant looks that made everyone feel beautiful and comfortable. She even charmed my 3-year-old flower girl by applying pretend makeup, which was such a sweet touch. Both Ashley and Mallory became part of our getting-ready party, blending seamlessly into the morning and helping everything run smoothly. Their warmth, professionalism, and talent made the day even more special. I feel so lucky to have found Russell and his team—they truly saved the day and exceeded every expectation. I couldn’t recommend them more highly to anyone looking for a team that is not only talented but also an absolute joy to work with!
