Meet Danielle Rochon

Danielle Rochon is a Chicago-based professional makeup artist working in TV/Film (Local IATSE Union 476 ) and bridal makeup. Danielle’s  signature style of clean, timeless, and beautiful photo-ready makeup has earned her an admirable bridal following, especially among brides of color looking for a luxurious bridal experience. When Danielle entered the Chicago bridal market as a makeup artist, she noticed there was a lack of resources catering to the upscale bride of color. Images of clean, polished, magazine-worthy brides of color were few and far between. Danielle wanted to change that so she focused on creating "clean and beautiful photo-ready" makeup. She used her customer service experience working for MAC Cosmetics and the invaluable makeup education from teachers such as Mali Thomas (King Mali Magic), Mario Dedivanovic, Renny Vasquez, Malika James, Kai Pritchard, Tiyana Robinson and Alexandra Butler to take her to the next level. With over 11 years of experience, Danielle has helped hundreds of brides feel absolutely beautiful and amazing on the most important day of their lives.

Danielle takes her to time to get to know her clients likes, dislikes, and pain points. It is important to her to provide the best experience possible to her clients.
