Tricia Clarke Makeup — Local services in Proviso Township

Tricia came HIGHLY recommended by my photographer and when I looked her up, she was exactly who I was hoping to find - and somehow still available for my date! I was late finding a makeup artist for my wedding because I was struggling to find someone who I thought would be a good fit. I needed an artist who could do makeup for myself, my mom, and my MIL (and all with very different preferences). Most wedding makeup I've seen is pretty bold and glam - this just isn't me. I don't wear a ton of makeup regularly so I didn't want such a transformation that I felt unrecognizable. Tricia has such a talent for creating natural makeup that looks and feels amazing in person and photographs beautifully!

I barely knew how to describe what I wanted beyond "bridal makeup that still looks like me, but better, but still me" but this seemed to be Tricia's expertise, so I decided to skip a trial and trust her to do her thing. I found my inspo photos from Tricia's portfolio to give her an idea of what I liked and I highly recommend everyone do this! She knew what products she had used for some of the looks so she was able to quickly zero in on a palette.

Tricia was also great with feedback. When she was done and showed me the final look, it was a bit of a shock since I didn't see it in progress. She helped me figure out that it was probably the lip line that was just a little exaggerated from my natural line. She eased it back a little and then recommended I let it all sink in while I was getting my hair done. Seeing everything come together was really helpful and I knew she had nailed it! My mom (simpler, understated look) and MIL (more glam) both loved their makeup too - Tricia can do anyone!

Not only is Tricia an amazing makeup artist, she is also very professional - well organized, prompt communication, and an efficient process start to finish. She was also such a fun personality to get ready with the morning of my wedding, I am so glad...

I had the most fabulous experience working with Tricia! From our first phone consultation to the final touches on my wedding day, she was incredibly professional, communicative, and a joy to work with.

I had a lot of anxiety about getting my makeup done, since I rarely wear makeup in my daily life. However, I wanted to look my best on my wedding day and in photos. Luckily, a good friend (and former Tricia Clarke bride) recommended her to me. During our phone consultation, Tricia was very reassuring and put a lot of my anxieties at ease! The makeup trial was a huge success, and she worked with me to put my best wedding look together. I wanted a more natural look, and she did a fantastic job of making me look like myself, just with glam makeup! I also really appreciated the information she sent prior to the trial which helped me get ready (clean face, wear a light colored top, etc).

Korena, our hairstylist, also was also amazing and wonderful to work with! After briefly describing how I wanted my hair done for the wedding, Korena put together my vision!

My bridesmaids, mom, and mother in law also enjoyed getting their hair done by Korena and makeup done by Tricia. We had a blast getting ready with them the morning of the wedding. My mom loved the false eyelashes (she always wanted to try them!) and she said Tricia made us all look glamorous. My sister (matron of honor) said “I really liked that Tricia asked me about my skin concerns before she started doing my makeup. I was stressed at first because my skin is always dry, but she did a lot of prep to help!”

I felt gorgeous the entire day of my wedding and am so happy I worked with Tricia. I received so many compliments, the photos turned out amazing, and my makeup stayed flawless from morning to night! I would 100% recommend Tricia to any and all brides for their...

Choosing Tricia Clarke Bridal as my hair & makeup provider was one of the best decisions I made while planning my wedding. From the first time we spoke during the consultation call, I felt an instant connection with Tricia. She spent so much time getting to know me and my plans for our wedding and I knew that I could trust her to bring my bridal vision to life. I hired Tricia for makeup services and she selected Korena as my hair stylist based on the look I was hoping to achieve. I had a very specific vision in mind for my hair and Korena worked with me to create a style that built upon what I was going for in a subtle yet impactful way. Tricia is incredibly thoughtful and really listens to what her clients are looking for. I felt heard and supported during every conversation and because she spent so much time getting to know me and my taste, complexion, features etc. during my preview session, I was completely relaxed on my wedding day knowing that I had a true partner who would make me feel my best. I added concierge service to my bridal beauty package and absolutely recommend doing so if your budget allows. Having Tricia as part of our “entourage” through the ceremony and bridal party photos made me feel so at ease - her work was impeccable to begin with so minimal touch ups were needed but she was ready for anything!

Hair and makeup is incredibly personal and there is a lot of pressure to get it “right” on your wedding day. It’s so important to have a team that you trust and feel comfortable with and that is Tricia’s special sauce - in addition to being an exceptionally talented makeup artist. I cannot sing her praises loud enough and will forever recommend her to every bride I know/meet so that they too can experience the magic and joy of being a Tricia Clarke...
