Paint Gal Makeup Artistry

Paint Gal Makeup Artistry is a Chicago-based makeup studio founded by artist Dee in 2009, offering bridal, editorial, photoshoot, and event makeup services. Paint Gal uses a consult-first approach with high-quality, sanitized products, tailoring each appointment to the client's features, occasion, and desired result; bridal bookings are limited each season to ensure dedicated attention, with trials held at the South Loop studio. Dee trained as an art student at Illinois Institute of Art and worked counters at MAC, Smashbox, Urban Decay, Bare Minerals, and Stila before building a freelance career that included on-set work for FOX News, VH1, music videos, ad campaigns, and celebrity clients. Based in the South Loop, Chicago, with on-location service available across Chicago and the surrounding Illinois suburbs. Clients note that makeup lasted all night with no touch-ups, looked strong in photos, and that Dee listens closely to the look each person wants while customizing the result to their features.
