    Make-up Perfection

    Rachael was amazing and professional start to finish. She was very communicative when I first reached out all the way through the day of our wedding, giving clear direction with how to prep our faces, timelines, and giving space for any needs I had. Her knowledge of make-up and the artistry of faces made myself and all of my bridesmaids feel like queens. The make up lasted through our snowy first looks, multiple sessions of teary eyes, and an entire night of dancing. Couldn't recommend Rachael more!!

    Simply the Best!

    Rachael is AMAZING!!! She is so personable & really enhances your natural beauty. She makes everyone look stunning, regardless of how little or much makeup they want. She is so easy to work with and takes extra care to listen to your requests. She made me look flawless on my wedding day & all the bridesmaids/moms were so impressed. Definitely hire her!!

    Put all of your trust in Rachael

    We worked with Rachael from Fleurt for our December 2019 wedding, referred by our planners, The Otherside Creatives. During my trial with Rachael, I instantly felt comfortable working with her and trusted that she would make me look beautiful, and, more importantly, like myself. Rachael has a background as a nurse and upholds the highest standards in makeup hygiene. She was receptive to my requests and those of my bridesmaids, mother and mother-in-law. Everyone looked beautiful and natural. My trial was the first time I had ever had my makeup done professionally, and when I stopped by a Starbucks immediately afterwards, the first person who saw me complimented my eye makeup! I felt beautiful on our wedding day, and I felt even better knowing that some of my bridesmaids also reported that it was their best experience ever with a makeup artist.

    So thankful I did!

    I contacted Rachael only weeks before my Wedding and was able to book a trial and make up for my wedding day. I was so very happy with the outcome. I generally don't wear make up much at all so I was depending on her expertise to select the best colors/products. She made me and my 2 daughters look and feel fabulous! Very open to criticism (though did not need to give any), very thorough and genuinely a nice person. If I ever need my make up done in the future for a special event, I will definitely be contacting her again. One happy bride! 💙

    Rachael was amazing! She took the time to explain every step of the process to me, helped me pick my bridal look, helped me do my timeline, and gave me some awesome make up tips. She happens to also be the sweetest person ever which really helped a stressed out bride like me! I had my trial right before my shower and the amount of compliments I got then and on the big day were plentiful. Rachael is professional, affordable, amazingly talented, and all around the best choice for your bridal makeup.

    So I learned about Fluert Beauty from my photographer and she highly recommended Rachael Wontrop. All I can say is I was blown away by her gift with makeup! She was accommodating, kind and professional. She allows you to tweak your look just the way you want it but gives great tips and suggestions. I ended up making a new friend because she was just so easy to work with and we just clicked! All of my bridesmaids who had their makeup done couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful they looked! I looked exactly how I always envisioned and that meant everything to me. Don’t give it a second thought -BOOK HER NOW!

    Rachael was WONDERFUL to work with! I have Realllyyyy sensitive skin, and I’m allergic to nearly everything- and she went out of her way to make sure that I didn’t have an allergic reaction on my wedding day. Moreover, she made me LOOK and feel like a princess. I wish this allowed pictures to show you my before and after, but she was a miracle worker— honestly. I was so so worried to get my makeup done (I never do because so often I get swollen eyes or a rash all over my face and eyes or break out everywhere with hives and pimples) but she worked with me at every step and now I have all new products I know I can use! Can’t go wrong with booking this girl— she is simply the best!!!

    Rachael did an excellent job with makeup for me and my five bridesmaids on my wedding day in June. While I had a general idea of what I wanted my "look" to be for my wedding day, I didn't really have specifics to offer her. However, during the trial, she was able to translate whatever I told her and somehow created a fantastic palette for me! On the day of the wedding, she arrived promptly and kept on schedule to make sure everyone was done on time. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup too, and it stayed on all day despite being outside in the heat and humidity. Rachael has a true gift with makeup and was really fun to work with. Thanks Rachael!

    I'm not sure I can say enough good things about my experience with Rachael. She made me feel right at home from the beginning. Very responsive yet professional in everything she did/said. Seeing her post pictures of her clients each week made me more and more excited for my turn with her. My (now) husband is not a huge fan of makeup & he even stated, at our wedding, that my makeup (and all my bridesmaids) looked so natural yet had a soft, sophisticated you. I hope I have another event to go to or friend I can recommend her to so I can have the opportunity for her to do my makeup again!

    Rachael was incredible to work with leading up to my special day! I hardly ever wear makeup and was a very nervous bride because I wanted to make sure I looked as natural as possible. Rachael was very understanding and patient as we tried regular makeup and airbrush as well. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, professional, and creative makeup artist!

    Rachael is absolutely amazing and does such a fantastic job! I've had the pleasure of having her do my wedding makeup just recently in October and makeup for my sisters wedding. Not only is she so much fun to be around but she really takes the time to make the desired look just perfect. I was SO in love with my wedding makeup that I didn't want to take it off and luckily it looked flawless the next morning too. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup and the pictures turned out incredible. Rachael truly aims to please and goes above and beyond. She is someone you absolutely want on your big day!! I'm so lucky to have met her through my sister and hope I have another event coming up soon where she can go to work. She's the best no doubt and such a lovable person!!!

    The bridal party (including me) were very particular about our makeup. Add that to the fact that most of us didn't wear makeup on a daily basis...therefore we were picky, yet had no idea what we were talking about. Rachael was very patient and walked us through the entire process while graciously explaining everything. She clearly loves what she does. You can see it in her work and her clients. Would definitely recommend her to any bride!

    Rachael was absolutely wonderful to work with! After an unfortunate turn of events, my original make-up lady was unable to do my makeup on my wedding day. Rachael was suggested to me and I am so happy I stuck with her! We did a trial together a couple months before the wedding and it looked fantastic! My wedding was in the summer so I gained considerable color before my wedding and Rachael was able to easily match makeup to my skin tone that was not chosen at my trial. All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup (one almost to the point of tears...she was VERY nervous of getting her makeup done). Most of us got false eyelashes and they stuck on the whole night and never bothered us! Makeup was flawless until the early hours of the morning!!!! Thank you Rachael!!

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Rachael! From our initial conversations to the big day she was so accommodating, sweet and talented.
    I have recommended her to all the brides I knew who were getting married last year and will continue to do so.
    Every single one of my bridesmaids LOVED their makeup- and thats not easy to do with 10 different girls!

    Rachael was amazing! After my make up trial I was really confident in her. She was very friendly and explained everything she was doing. My bridesmaids were very happy with their make up as was I. I would definitely recommend Rachael.

    Rachael did my makeup for my engagement session and my wedding day and I looked flawless both times. I felt like she really took the time to "understand my skin" (if that makes sense, haha) I have really oily skin and it always looks shiny in pictures. On my wedding day, she did my makeup (airbrush) around 10am and besides my lip gloss, I didn't have to touch up ONCE- our night ended around midnight! If I have one complaint- it's that she can't do my makeup everyday :)

    I can't say enough positive things about my recent experience with Rachael. She trekked out to the middle of nowhere DURING A HURRICANE to provide some of the best make-up services I have ever seen to 8+ girls for my best friend's wedding. When we all arrived she was set up and ready to get going (even though most other vendors got lost and were late). Rachael's make-up artistry skills allowed her to tackle a wide range of skin types/conditions on all ages. She started each application off with a consultation to understand each of our likes/dislikes and what look we wanted to achieve. She explained what make-up she was using, why, and gave us pointers we could use when doing our own make-up in the future. Rachael graciously let us add additional girls to her schedule and never lost her composure or made us feel rushed. Her calming personality is exactly what is need to help calm everyone's nerves prior to such a big event. I highly recommend using Rachael for any make-up needs and look forward to using her services again in the future.

    Rachael did absolutely amazing job!! She was incredibly accommodating while trying to book a consultation and did a fabulous job. The plan on my wedding day was for her to do my makeup, my mom's makeup, and 5 of my bridesmaids makeup. By the time she was finished, another one of my bridesmaids asked for Rachael to do her makeup too because everyone else's had turned out so well. Rachael was able to do perfect makeup for all 8 of us and seemed more than happy to do so. Every one of us had a flawless makeup application and several wedding guests commented on how beautiful each of the bridesmaids looked. I can't say enough great things about her!!

    I HIGHLY recommend using Rachael for makeup for your upcoming wedding. Not only was Rachael super flexible and easy to work with, she is AMAZING at her job. I don't typically wear that much makeup so I was worried about looking too "done up" on my wedding day. Rachael eased my anxiety and made me, my bridesmaids, mother, and mother-in-law look naturally beautiful! Rachael calls the look an intensified version of yourself and that is exactly what it is. She is super responsive and has so much knowledge about makeup and skincare, she even provided me with a personalized skin regime to prevent breakouts, make my skin glow, etc. Having Rachael as my makeup artist for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made throughout the wedding process.
