Luxury Bridal Makeup Artistry
I am a Wilmington, NC makeup artist specializing in soft glam and elevated natural makeup for brides and clients throughout the East Coast. With over a decade of experience, I bring a thoughtful, curated approach to every face and every occasion. My goal is for you to feel completely seen, beautifully yourself, and confident in the hands of an artist who knows how to create polished, timeless makeup that still feels like you.
Welcome to Rita Griep Beauty
One of my favorite parts of the wedding experience is the bridal makeup trial.
While your wedding day makeup appointment is all about execution, your trial is where we get to dream, collaborate, and create a look that feels beautifully and authentically you. Think of it as a dress rehearsal for your wedding day glam.

Literally everything from the trial to the wedding day was perfect. You listened to everything that I was wanting to achieve look wise, made any adjustments from trial to wedding day, and made my makeup goals come to life. You are so easy to work with, you are so nice and absolutely amazing at what you do. I have never felt more beautiful in my life and I mean that. My makeup lasted all night long and still looked bomb by the end of the night, even after several hours of dancing/sweating! Thank you SO much!!!!

Could not be anymore impressed with Rita and her work, everything was absolutely perfect. I am always nervous to meet new people and work with them, but from the moment Rita walked in, she was absolutely amazing and made everything feel so normal and comfortable. Not to mention making me feel absolutely beautiful with a natural look! Could not recommend her more!

I loved how kind, calm, and attentive you were throughout the entire process. Your flexibility,especially with a bride planning from Ohio, made such a difference. I really appreciated the trial the day before the wedding; it worked perfectly with our rehearsal and gave me so much confidence going into the big day. My makeup was flawless—polished, natural, and held up beautifully in the NC humidity. I felt so beautiful! All the girls loved their makeup too and felt totally comfortable sharing what they wanted. You made the whole experience seamless!
