Soft, timeless, romantic luxury bridal glam for the modern bride

MEET YOUR GIRL

Hi, I'm Morgan Jess! Owner of Morgan Lorraine Makeup Artistry, established in 2021. This career isn't just a hobby for me, it's my life! There is truly no better feeling in the world than a glam + gossip sesh with a girlfriend. Can't wait to meet you if I haven't already!
MORE ABOUT MLMUA
My husband and I have been together for over ten years and officially tied the knot in May 2025. We have three cats named Max, Magnolia, and Madden. When I'm not glamming, I love to spend quality time with my family, thrift, and travel.
I graduated from Capri College Cedar Rapids in 2018 with a cosmetology license. After growing up in the salon with my hairstylist mom, I've always known I would work in the beauty industry! I was behind the chair as a hairstylist for a couple of years before taking the leap and becoming a Bridal Makeup Artist. Now I'm in front of the chair, still making women feel elevated and beautiful, and chasing my dreams!

what you can expect sitting in my MAKEUP chair

Beyond my makeup artistry skills, I take pride in my strong communication, attentiveness, and commitment to cleanliness and sanitation. My goal is to create a safe, comfortable space where you can fully relax. By the end of your appointment, you’ll leave feeling confident, refreshed, and uplifted.

Angel makeup on queen Landry 🪽✨ I’ll definitely be dreaming about this look tonight! I love showing how makeup looks in different lighting—this is studio lighting and natural light. No filters at all, just a gorgeous client and my Canon
Your makeup artist 🖤🍸✨🪞
