The Artist
Hi! My name is Marian Rice and I am the owner and artist behind M's Bridal Beauty.
​
I am an alumni of Northern Kentucky University where I gained my bachelors in entrepreneurship and business management where I also continued growing what was once known as Marian's Makeup Shack.
​
I started doing makeup originally as a hobby for friends and family back in 2017 and in 2019 everything changed after being asked by a close friend if I'd be interested in doing their bridal makeup for their wedding day. I was nervous and excited all in one! Since that day, I fell in love with the feeling of making someone feel and look their best on their special day. I now dedicate my time learning new techniques and products to specialize in bridal makeup.
​
I have been actively creating bridal makeup looks for 8 years and had the pleasure of being featured in the Kentucky Bridal Magazine in 2023.​
What makes me unique
M’s Bridal Beauty sets itself apart by offering a tailored on-site makeup service that caters to a diverse range of bridal budgets, ensuring every bride can look her best without financial strain.
This adaptability is coupled with the convenience of traveling to the client’s location, providing a stress-free experience on their special day. With being a seasoned bridal makeup artist with over eight years of experience, M's Bridal Beauty is renowned for its personalized approach and attention to detail.
My unique makeup style, which involves expertly layering products for a long-lasting, yet lightweight finish, is a testament to my dedication to client satisfaction. My curated collection of both luxury and drugstore makeup brands and my deep understanding of skincare further enhance the quality of service, making each bridal experience both memorable and exceptional.
A little bit about me
I am 25 years old and just recently got engaged to my absolute best friend in February of 2025. We have an adorable mini bernese mountain dog named Koda who loves everyone he gets the chance to meet, and he is our world. I am one of 14 siblings... and yes, I said 14! Crazy I know. I come from a pretty big family, and I couldn't be more grateful for that as they help keep me going with all my dreams and ambitions.
​
Other than doing bridal makeup on the weekends, I am a co-owner of business with a close friend of mine, Elizabeth Stephenson, known as Inclusive Envisions. This business is my pride and joy because it helps entrepreneurs boost their business, audience reach and so much more. We specialize in social media management and website development thanks to our experience at NKU within the entrepreneurship/business department. Combined we have 7+ years of experience with digital marketing services.
​
Also, a fun/random fact, I am a reptile owner as well! I have 9 crested geckos that my fiancé and I absolutely adore.
