Colorado Springs Elopement Hair and Makeup Artists

Hair and makeup for a Colorado Springs elopement has to handle sun, wind and dry air at about 6,000 feet, especially at an exposed site like Garden of the Gods or a pullout on the Pikes Peak Highway. Local artists know that a long lasting base, a setting spray that survives a breezy overlook and a pinned style that holds through an hour of photos matter more here than at a ballroom wedding. Many come to your hotel or rental, which helps a lot when the ceremony is at sunrise.

Ask each artist on this list about travel fees for Manitou Springs, Woodland Park or the Broadmoor area, whether they offer a smaller package for one or two people, and how early they can start. A trial is worth booking if you have never worn professional makeup outdoors. These artists are based in Colorado Springs or serve the Pikes Peak region, and featured listings come first and are labeled. Book early for September and October, when the weather is best and calendars fill fastest.
