I mean Jennifer Rand Walker, of course. She’s the face and the talent behind Face Body Beauty, and she’s the most talented makeup and hair artist I know. She’s also generous with her knowledge and savvy in the ways of business and relationships. In short, she is someone you need to know.
Face Body Beauty is just about to start work on its fifth wedding season — Jennifer does makeup and hair for brides, but also does tons of other stuff, from teaching workshops and lessons to makeup for boudoir photography and special events. She really enjoys teaching, she told me: “I teach everyday women how to do their makeup in a way that will enhance their natural beauty. Seeing them stand a little taller or walk more confidently after experiencing the difference makeup can make is extremely rewarding. I love any opportunity to help women feel more beautiful and confident.”
When she does work with brides, Jennifer said she loves working with each unique bride to create a look that works with her and the wedding.
“I love working with a bride from the beginning and talking through her vision for her wedding, her dress, her style and of course her makeup and hair,” Jennifer said. “Talking about all the details helps me put together a style and often, a plan for bringing that style to life. We come up with a plan for skin care and hair care that ensures that she will be glowing and gorgeous on her special day.”
Jennifer’s number one piece of advice to brides? Getting together with a hair and makeup artist early. When Jennifer works with a bride from six months to a year in advance, she’s able to come up with a plan for skin and hair care and make adjustments before the wedding.
I highly recommend Jennifer to brides and anyone looking for a flawless look or hair and makeup advice and lessons — check out her site here and get in touch!

That’s a really good idea, connecting with your stylist early in the planning process. One of the first things I put on my calendar was scheduling a spa day to relax and get all freshened up before the wedding. Then I read that it’s important to schedule facials at least a week prior to the event, since you could have a reaction or redness for a few days. So I split my treatments up into two appointments a week apart (I want the mani/pedi to be really fresh).
But then I started thinking about how I could take really good care of my hair and skin even months ahead of time so it will really shine. It would also give me a chance to try out different hairstyles and even colors if I had a whole year to experiment.
So thanks for sharing that piece of wisdom, and your beautiful photos!
