fort collins, colorado · bridal & soft glam
Twelve years of wedding-morning makeup that photographs beautifully and still feels like your own face. Brides, parties and portraits across Northern Colorado and the mountains.
weddings & pricing
A single price for brides, a trial so nothing is guesswork, and Celeste at your getting-ready suite when the morning comes. Bridesmaids, hair and any travel get planned in one conversation.
Wedding-day makeup with a trial session included.
Bridesmaids, moms and grandmas, scheduled back to back so everyone is camera-ready before the first look.
Celeste partners with two trusted local stylists, so hair and makeup for the whole party arrive as one team.
Engagement photos, headshots and styled shoots, like the studio sessions a little further down.
Saying your vows in Estes Park or out of state? Celeste travels; the fee is quoted along with your date.
before / after
Prepped skin, lashes that lift, a warm flush and a lip that survives the toast. Drag the line to watch one bride go from the first step to finished.
Same bride, same morning, about two hours apart.

the look, itemized
Every bride leaves her trial with a face chart: each shade, in order, so touch-ups are easy and nothing about your makeup is a mystery. Here's a sample chart for a warm soft-glam look.

kind words
Hannah R. · bride, June 2026
“She had all six bridesmaids done early and still found time to fix my mom's lipstick.”
“My skin looked like skin in every photo. Twelve hours later, still there.”
“I'm 58 and I haven't felt this pretty in years. Already booked her for my niece.”
Getting brides ready at
the kit, packed the night before
hi, i'm maren
I started out doing friends' wedding makeup and never stopped. Today it's bridal and soft glam full time, from Fort Collins up into the mountains.
Most of my brides tell me they hardly wear makeup. Perfect: that's who I build the look around, whether your skin is deep or fair, dry or oily, twenty-five or sixty.
how booking works
Send the short form below: your date, where you're getting ready and how many faces. Celeste answers within two days.
Bring photos you love (and hate), your dress, your jewelry. You build the look together and go home with your face chart.
Celeste arrives early, works through the party on a set timeline, and you get to sip something cold and relax.
Yes. $375 covers your trial and your wedding-day makeup. Everyone else in the party starts at $95, and moms get the same care as the bride.
Yes, anywhere in Fort Collins, Loveland and Greeley at no extra cost. Estes Park, Boulder and longer drives add a travel charge, listed right in your quote.
Celeste sticks to makeup and books hair through two stylists she trusts. Tick “hair too” on the form and the whole party is handled as one booking.
Most of Celeste's brides say the same. Soft glam is built to look like skin: a little more definition and glow than usual, nothing heavy. Want more drama? That's easy too.
Products are picked face by face, the kit carries fragrance-free options, and you can ask for a patch test at your trial.
Not at all. Engagement sessions, headshots, styled shoots and events too: choose “portraits / editorial” or “other event” on the form.
