Dare I say it—fall glam is on the calendar 🍂


Hi Reader,

Summer has been a full one over here, and while I haven’t been quite as active online lately, I’ve been enjoying some time with my family while also getting ready for the upcoming fall and winter glam season. ✨

And with fall right around the corner, I wanted to pop into your inbox with a little reminder:

If you have an event coming up, now is a great time to get your makeup on the calendar!

🍂 Fall + Holiday Glam

I’m currently booking fall and winter 2026 events, as well as looking ahead to 2027 weddings.

Whether you’re getting married, attending a wedding, celebrating a milestone, planning family photos, or simply have an event where you want to feel extra polished, I’d love to be part of it.

Some of the events I can glam you for include:

✨ Weddings + wedding guests
✨ Holiday parties + celebrations
✨ Family, maternity + engagement photos
✨ Birthdays + special events
✨ Prom, homecoming + quinceañeras
✨ Editorial + photoshoot glam

If you already know you’ll want professional makeup, I recommend reaching out sooner rather than later—especially for weekend dates.


🤍 Complimentary Bridal Glam Model Opportunity

I’m looking for a model for an upcoming bridal makeup demonstration in Naperville on September 2 at 4 PM.

The look will be a soft, romantic bridal glam—polished, radiant, and still feeling like you.

This is a complimentary makeup application in exchange for being comfortable with professional photo and video content being captured and used for Rachel Marie Glam’s portfolio and social media.

Interested? Reply 'MODEL' to this email. I’d love to hear from you!

Details will be provided to selected model.


💄 A little beauty tip…

If you’re having your makeup professionally done for photos, don’t feel like you need to completely change your look.

The best makeup should still feel like you.

Think about what makes you feel beautiful on a normal day, then consider how you’d like to elevate it for your event. Your outfit, the location, lighting, and overall vibe can all help determine whether we lean soft and natural, polished and glamorous, or somewhere in between.

My goal is always skin that looks like skin, features that still feel like you, and makeup that photographs beautifully. 🤍


💕 Can I ask a small favor?

If we’ve worked together recently and you haven’t had a chance to leave a review, I’d be so grateful if you took a few minutes to share your experience.

Reviews help future brides and clients feel confident when choosing their makeup artist, and they make a huge difference for a small local business like mine.

And if you know someone looking for a makeup artist, sending them my way is always the best compliment, too! Whether it’s a bride, wedding guest, special event client, or someone getting ready for photos, referrals mean so much to me. 🥰

Thank you for being here and supporting Rachel Marie Glam. Whether you’ve sat in my chair, followed along online, referred a friend, or simply cheered me on from the sidelines—I appreciate you more than you know.

Here’s to a beautiful end to summer and an even more beautiful fall season. ✨

With love,

Rachel
