Meet Courtney | Professional Makeup Artist & Esthetician

Hi, I’m Courtney, a professional makeup artist and licensed esthetician based in Indiana, specializing in bridal makeup, special events, and confidence-focused beauty experiences. With years of hands-on experience and a passion for helping clients feel like the best version of themselves, Colour by Courtney blends artistry, education, and intention into every appointment.

Colour By Courtney has won the knot's best of wedding since 2015

With a background in professional makeup artistry and beauty education, I bring both technical skill and real-world experience to every client. My approach combines customized application, skin-focused preparation, and a calm, supportive presence especially valued by brides and clients preparing for important moments.

I’m also a grain farmer and a retired firefighter, and I bring the same preparedness, calm instinct, and steady presence from high-stress work into every fast-paced, on-location makeup day.

You’ll often find me with makeup brushes in hand and cowgirl boots on. This farm girl is an animal lover, country music fan, coffee enthusiast, and burn survivor. I have a special place in my heart for helping brides look and feel natural, polished, and radiant—so they can fully enjoy every moment of their big day.

Courtney Wiedenhaupt

Makeup is never about covering who you are it’s about enhancing what already makes you unique. I believe that beauty should feel effortless, personal, and empowering. Every service begins with thoughtful consultation, ensuring each look aligns with the client’s features, personality, and occasion.

Your makeup will only look as good as your skin, which is why every service starts with a luxury skin preparation system designed to work beautifully under makeup and create a smooth, photo-worthy complexion.

This skin prep includes a gentle exfoliation, cleanse, moisturizer, and primer—allowing makeup to apply more smoothly, wear more evenly, and last longer throughout the day.

The secret to a flawless makeup application begins with skin prep.
