I’m Emily Edgar, and I’ve been a professional makeup artist for 10+ years working all over the industry. From supermodels, to beauty ads, commercials and my very favorite, brides! Having been trained in Paris, France with the top European makeup academy and worked in the iconic New York City beauty scene – I’ve seen and done a lot! 

In addition to my on-set experience, I spent 3 years teaching the skills of makeup artistry to new artists and beauty enthusiasts alike at the Make Up For Ever Academy in NYC. 

As a fixture in the bridal suite of many weddings across the Midwest, I bring poise, passion, and confidence to every wedding while providing a customized experience to help brides personify their beauty and look their very best. 

The evolution of beauty keeps me committed to learning, studying, and practicing my trade across many specialties. I truly believe beauty is a matter of opinion, one which is fluid and should always reflect the beauty of the woman herself. 

BGB is built from my work with bridal clients and focuses on each step of the bridal beauty process. As I’ve done makeup for literally hundreds of brides in the last 15 years, I’ve developed a makeup process and skincare routines that can cut through the overwhelm and help brides take beauty into their own hands.

I truly believe that your definition of beauty is the only one that matters. I’m on a mission to help brides personify their beauty and look their very best on their wedding day and beyond. And I’m spilling all my best bridal beauty secrets with YOU, babe, inside The Bride’s Guide to Beauty.
