Jules Waldkoetter
FOUNDER & LEAD MAKEUP ARTIST
Hi! I'm Jules! I am a professional makeup artist who made the move to the Hudson Valley from Brooklyn, NY in the fall of 2016. I have 20 years of NYC experience working with models, and rock stars, and celebrities in the beauty, fashion, music and television industries. I started The Luminous Bride in 2013 when I realized I wanted to devote more time and positive energy to my brides. My goal is to be the modern alternative to traditional bridal beauty. I love the uniqueness and individuality of every bride. I love to do makeup for brides so they can take time to relax, feel pampered, and be their most beautiful on their wedding day! I would love to have you in my makeup chair and be a part of your most special day!

Testimonials
Sara - Foxfire Mountain House
Where do I even begin with Jules?! In addition to being unbelievably kind, warm, and cool, she created a makeup look for my wedding that was everything I'd been dreaming of (and then some). I still looked like myself, but just with the perfect level of glam
JORDAN - aRNOLD HOUSE
I could not recommend Jules and The Luminous Bride team more highly! Jules is so incredibly talented and made me (and my Mom and MIL) feel like the most beautiful version of myself on my wedding day. She was super patient and answered our questions about products, technique, etc and even caught my husband on her way out to give him some anti-shine! Jules is so much fun too and she brought great energy to my wedding day
Briana - Bird & bottle inn
To put it simply, Jules is absolutely incredible. When considering multiple makeup artists for my wedding day, it was hard to find someone that not only listened but also gave great recommendations on how to prep before the day of and which shades/colors would like the best with a fair skin tone. Jules made me feel so beautiful, calmed my nerves the day of and made sure I loved every color, shade and style of the makeup. I'm so grateful for her - she not only calmed my nerves on my wedding day, she made me feel like a movie star.
Kelsey - Foxfire Mountain House
Working with Courtney from Luminous Bride on my wedding day was an absolute joy. After my (very indecisive) trial, she was patient and willing to try different things until we got to a look I loved! She took amazing care of my mom and mother-in-law, who both loved their looks. I felt great all day – hair stayed in place throughout it all, and my makeup and skin looked flawless. She made my features pop while still feeling like myself, just the most glam version! She was amazing to work with and I recommend her highly.
