Meet Rosie Hunter - Professional Hair & Makeup Artist
PHILOSOPHY
I don't believe in rules when it comes to makeup. I believe in looking timeless, powerful, and beautiful--in whatever way those words speak to you. I believe beauty comes in all ages, races, genders, and walks of life. I believe in the transformative power of makeup--not only the physical transformation, but the inner as well. Every person has something uniquely beautiful about them, and it is a privilege to help tap into that beauty and make it shine.
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
I have been in the professional cosmetics industry for over 14 years and a freelance artist for 10 years. After wearing many hats working for Sephora, LUSH, and Nordstrom in New England and Virginia, in 2015 Rosie Hunter Makeup Artistry was launched after my family and I relocated with the Navy to Japan for 2.5 years. After an amazing experience abroad, we moved to Chicago in 2018 where I was fortunate enough to be made a lead stylist on the award-winning bridal team Kate Johnson Artistry. During the last two years in Chicago I have helped over 80 brides on their magical day, as well as countless bridesmaids and family members. I am also fortunate enough to work regularly with some of the top photographers and production teams in Chicago doing boudoir, headshot, family, commercial, and industrial artistry.
