I feel lucky that I was referred to Lori and she happened to have our wedding date available. At our trial, Lori reviewed my inspiration pictures and asked lots of questions about what I wanted. She carefully explained the products and techniques she used during the trial, and took detailed notes on how to recreate the look (along with any little tweaks) on the wedding day. When our wedding day arrived, Lori showed up early to do makeup for me, my mom, and three bridesmaids. Lori easily addressed all of my mom’s concerns about looking too “done” and made her look glowing, beautiful, and natural. My sister-in-law had never worn makeup before and was so nervous about it, and Lori made sure she was completely comfortable…sis-in-law looked gorgeous and happy. My other two bridesmaids knew what they wanted and went for dramatic eyes, false eyelashes, the works. One bridesmaid said she felt prettier than on her own wedding day! As for my makeup, Lori created a romantic look with shimmery defined eyes. She had to convince me to go for the dramatic false lashes and I’m so glad she did – they really make eyes pop in pictures. Listen to her when she pushes them! It’s important to note that our wedding day was 100 degrees and Lori absolutely insisted on airbrush for everyone to ensure we didn’t melt during the ceremony. It was obvious her main objective was that we were happy with her work – we were a seriously sweaty gang by the time the ceremony was over but our makeup was sweatproof! Back at the hotel at the end of the night I was shocked to see my makeup still looked fresh. From start to finish our experience with Lori was awesome: not only was she responsive and kind during the planning process and day of, but I really feel everyone’s makeup was about as perfect as possible. I had started out thinking that makeup was an unnecessary expense, but we all agreed that Lori was worth every penny.
