CHICAGO'S PREMIER MAKEUP ARTIST FOR WEDDINGS & EVENTS
Why Choose Dee Gilmore Beauty
I've experienced the nervousness, and excitement women feel on their wedding day. I searched for a makeup artist who would make me look like a better version of myself AND put me at ease throughout the process. For my special day, I chose to do my own natural makeup (husband approved!) to ensure I looked as beautiful as the moment made me feel. Our connection that day meant everything, and that’s exactly what I aim to offer you on your special day.
Your wedding day isn’t a dress rehearsal; it’s the moment you’ve been waiting for your whole life. I understand you only have one opportunity to get it right and look your best. At Dee Gilmore Beauty, I ensure when you walk down the aisle and look into the eyes of your soulmate, you make it a reflection worth remembering forever.
I believe who you are and the love you are surrounded by on your wedding day is what should really stand out. For me, makeup is an accessory used to make you feel beautiful through every embrace and every moment of that day. My approach to artistry is simple, tailored, and most importantly - natural.

Meet
Dee Gilmore
Dee is a wife and mom of two who loves to bring the inner beauty of her clients to the surface.
Dee can help you feel more confident on your wedding day and in your everyday life... from on-location bridal makeup, special events to virtual beauty lessons, let Dee help you tailor a look you will love.
The Beginning:
Since the beginning, we have always believed that natural makeup should be the norm. 12 years ago, securing a bridal makeup artist meant tirelessly pouring over wedding planning websites to find a makeup artist whom you hoped would make you look beautiful and also feel good in the process. Like many of you, we believe that who you are and the love encircling you on your wedding day is of the utmost importance. We wanted to see a change in the beauty industry for brides and brides-to-be seeking trustworthiness, relatability and joy in makeup styling. That desire became the beginning motivation behind our business.
The Birth:
In 2012, Dee Gilmore Beauty was born. Our Founder, Dee Gilmore, believes that two is better than one and that the love and companionship of a partner is immeasurable. On the heels of her own wedding, her personal journey of being a bride seeking a makeup artist that would enhance her natural beauty and connect with her on a deeper level, presented the need for bridal makeup services that would create an unforgettable experience. Dee’s journey led us to create our first bridal makeup package. Now in its 12th year of business, while at times taking breaks for life events such as house hunting, having a baby and drinking her water, Dee Gilmore is dedicated to providing natural makeup styling for brides and brides to be- just like you. Our mission is simple: to bring to light the most beautiful version of you on the most important day of your life.
The Present:
We know that we are not the first to adorn beautiful brides with makeup for their wedding, and we certainly will not be the last. We also are not the first to offer makeup classes but one thing we do know is that we are different. Our first-hand bridal experience coupled with continuing education and our understanding that you only have one chance to look and feel your best on your wedding day sets us apart from the rest. Our desire to ensure you receive tailored makeup lessons that addresses your skincare needs and not just cookie cutter advice makes our makeup lessons second to none. We work hard to ensure that when you walk down the aisle and look into the eyes of your soulmate, or when you look at yourself in the mirror after applying your own makeup, it is a reflection worth remembering forever.
We are not just selling makeup services. At Dee Gilmore Beauty, we are committed to reaching back and helping young adults from underserved communities of Chicago, teaching self-love and how to become productive, confident and strong women; as such, a portion of Dee Gilmore Beauty's proceeds are provided to
David's Circle Not For Profit Organization.
Together, we hope to change the way you view and select your bridal beauty services. The end goal is for you is to look as beautiful as the moment makes you feel!
