Chicago makeup artist · creative director
Ann Marie Weinert
More than 20 years learning the difference between looking “done” and being seen clearly.
The work
Beauty, image and presence are the same conversation.
Ann Marie Weinert is the founder and creative director of Chicago Style Co, known professionally as Red Hot Annie and previously through Ann Marie Makeup. Her career has moved through makeup artistry, photography, commercial production, performance and creative direction.
That breadth matters because a face is never read in isolation. It is read through wardrobe, posture, lighting, context, camera, room and intention.
A working philosophy
The best image is not the one with the most transformation. It is the one where every decision belongs.
Hair + makeup that serves the lens
Wardrobe that supports the story
Direction that removes guesswork
Photography that leaves evidence
Where this shows up
Private clients. Executives. Brides. Productions.
From the archive
Presence is part of the image.
Long before Chicago Style Co had its current name, Ann Marie’s work already lived at the intersection of camera, performance, direction and how a person is read in a room.
