About Me

RIE is a Long Island–based makeup artist and hair stylist with a passion for natural, effortless beauty. While specializing in weddings, she also brings her artistry to beauty, fashion, and portrait photography. Her philosophy is simple: makeup should bring out the most elevated version of who you already are. As an animal lover, her entire hair and makeup kit is 100% cruelty-free.

​

Rie spent years on stage as a professional ballet dancer with companies in NYC and Canada before seamlessly transitioning her artistic focus to her other loves: hair&makeup. Although she was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, she deeply enjoys being in nature. When she isn’t working, she loves spending time outdoors with her husband and son and taking pictures of birds. Rie is also fluent in Japanese.
