Bee Wade - Pro Makeup Artist

Meet Rebecca 'Bee' Wade, a multi-talented force in the world of beauty and content creation. As a Professional Makeup Artist, Digital Content Creator, and ATL's go-to guru for elevated natural glam, Bee's journey began nearly a decade ago with the birth of her first child. Like many new moms, she experienced the familiar feelings of exhaustion and disconnection from herself. Seeking solace one afternoon while her baby peacefully slumbered, she picked up the one brush and makeup palette she had and began to play with makeup. Little did she know that this simple act of self-care would transform her life.

The spark of passion for makeup ignited within her and led her to explore new horizons, from production sets to magazine shoots, serving celebrity clientele and earning features on prestigious platforms—over a dozen on Essence.com alone. Working with luminaries like Grammy Award-winning singer and songwriter NE-YO, Angie Stone, the iconic 90's R'n'B group SWV & "SWV Reunited" on WeTV, Avery Sunshine, and New York Times Bestselling Authors, Bee embraces the thrill of bright lights. However, her true pride lies in enhancing the beauty of everyday women.

Her motto "Explore Beauty, YOUR Way!" is a testament to her philosophy of encouraging each client to set their own rules, take risks, and play with colors. Bee stands for individuality, urging her clients to stand out and own the room they enter. With a minimalistic approach to makeup, she empowers brides, birthday girls, and high-profile clients to confidently embrace their beauty—whether they are on an everyday red carpet or runway, at work, school, or any other occasion.

Beyond her exceptional makeup artistry, Bee's love for beauty motivated her to start her former award-winning beauty blog, 'AllThingsBee.' There, she generously shared her favorite beauty products, makeup tips, and industry secrets. This blog, coupled with her unwavering tenacity and drive, opened doors for Bee to serve as Beauty Editor for Kontrol Magazine and Kontrol Girl Magazine. She has also been featured in and contributed content to esteemed publications such as ESSENCE.com and Impact Magazine.

In the years to come, Bee aspires to reach new heights, aiming to become an Emmy Award Winning Makeup Artist, responsible for crafting flawless red carpet looks at the Grammys and Oscars. Additionally, she dreams of shining as the masthead of one of the top publications geared toward women of color as a Beauty Editor.

Rebecca 'Bee' Wade is not just a makeup artist; she is an inspiring creator, a champion of individuality, and a guiding light in the world of beauty. With every brushstroke and content creation, she leaves an indelible mark on the industry and in the hearts of those she touches.
