Sarah Delaine Beauty Co.

Chicago's makeup artist category runs 69 listings, enough that scrolling top to bottom wastes time. Pick a zip code first. The 60611 area has 5 listings, 60608 has 4, and 60657 has 3, so start there if you live or work nearby. Most entries include a phone number, 65 of the 69, and 55 list a website, so you'll often have more than one way to check someone out before dialing.

None of these listings carry a Sponsored tag, since paid placement for this category hasn't started in Chicago, so the order on the page reflects how records are stored, not a promoted ranking. If you run one of these businesses and see a blank phone or website field, you can claim the listing and fill it in, which gives someone in a nearby zip code a real way to reach you instead of moving to the next name. Call two or three that fit your location and budget before you book anything.
