About
**Because of a lot of recent inquires I do not do hair. Only makeup** Instagram: MatthewRichvrd I enhance presence, not transform it. A luxury makeup experience that creates a timeless look. Specializing in Red Carpet and Celebrity. Elevated beauty is what I create. Alittle about me! My name is Matthew and I am a makeup artist based in Connecticut. I’ve been a makeup artist for over six years and have had the chance to work directly with brands like Chanel and Westman Atelier. Ive had the opportunity to do makeup for Lauren Lavera during her press tour for Terrifier 3 and Brooke Carter for the Venom: The Last Dance premiere in New York. For the past two years, I’ve also been assisting a celebrity makeup artist, where I’ve worked on projects involving Megan Fox, Mel B, and the Duchess of York, among others.

Matt is incredible! I couldn't have been happier with the bridesmaids makeup he did for me- he gave me exactly what I was looking for! He is professional and was so responsive in our planning, traveled to me, and came early and prepared. His tools were all clean and had everything needed. His rate was absolutely more than fair, and it doesn't hurt that he's also hilarious and kind! Will absolutely reach out to him again when I'm in the area and WANNA FEEL FABULOUS! Thank you Matt!!!

Matthew is an amazing makeup artist! I’m not too familiar with makeup and he let me know about each step and product he was using and what it would do for the overall completed look. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed. We talked like we were best friends since childhood. During the process he asked me what colors I thought suited me and I wasn’t sure, and let him do what he felt would compliment me best. He did not disappoint!!! My makeup came out FLAWLESS!! He is truly a magician when it comes to makeup. He did a soft glam look and it did not feel heavy which I was afraid of! When I tell you I didn’t want to take off my makeup!! He is so gifted and I will have him do my makeup every time I need it done!!! I recommend him to everyone who needs makeup done!
