I would recommend Lori to any woman who needs her hair to look beautiful and to hold up through a long day. Lori put my hair in a gorgeous curly updo for my wedding. Not only did it look great, but it stayed put through wind, a crown, a veil, a hair ornament and a dress change. She was intent to get me the look I wanted, and very persistent (yet gentle) when my hair would not cooperate at the trial.

Again, I would recommend Lori to anyone. (Note: I am Indian-American, and my hair is long and fine and has a mind of its own.)

Lori was an incredible pleasure to work with. She was professional and flexible. (I did my trial on the day of my wedding shower and even though Lori was booked that morning for another wedding, she found time to still meet with me and did an incredible job on my make up for that day!) On the day of the wedding, she was prompt, fit in very well with my family and friends and my make up looked PHENOMENAL. All I did was show her a few inspiration photos and I was blown away by the results. I was a little uncertain of what I wanted to look like because wearing a ton of makeup just doesn't come naturally to me but Lori reassured me that she had the right colors and I was going to look beautiful. She even went as far as finding a lipstick color called "well-loved" (by Mac) and now every time I use it I think of our wedding day! She's overall very thoughtful, very detail oriented and of course, VERY talented. I'd recommend her services to anyone who wants to look absolutely drop dead gorgeous on their special day.

Lori was fantastic to work with. She helped to make my wedding day stress free as my makeup turned out perfectly and just the way I envisioned. She used airbrush foundation on me which I feel looks so much more natural, less caked on than standard foundation. It lasted all day and still looked great at the end of my reception as I had my makeup done at 11 am and the reception was over at 11 pm. She works with you so that you have a say in what your makeup will look like (eye color, lips, and blush) and puts it all together perfectly. I looked and felt so beautiful while still looking like me. Not only was I beyond pleased with my makeup; she also did my mom, the groom’s mom, as well as two bridesmaids makeup that day. They were all as pleased as I was and were so thankful that they decided to have Lori do their makeup as well. She is very professional, arrived a few minutes early, was ready to start prior to the first persons makeup time, and even patiently waited as there was a small lapse in time between when the hair stylist was suppose to finish my hair and when Lori was suppose to start my makeup. I would highly recommend Lori, she does a wonderful job, not only did I look great on my wedding day but the makeup also photographs wonderfully. I am so thankful to one of my friends for recommending Lori to me, she was a joy to work with and is very talented. I was beyond happy and am so glad I had Lori do my makeup. She really is great and does an incredible job!!!

Lori was wonderful! I decided to do a trial before my big day and she made me feel so comfortable. She explained everything she was doing and why, and always asking my opinion and what I thought. Lori didn't pressure me into one look or another; something I was very worried about (I was getting both hair and make up). The day of my wedding, the number of girls who were getting some kind of service had ballooned to 6 ppl. I told Lori this change days before the wedding and she didn't show a hint of frustration or worry! I didn't have to deny anyone services and we were done well before we had to leave for the venue. Le Mariee´s prices were the best from a number of area make up + hair people when considering day of and trial services. However, I did get married during the off season.

Lori did my make-up for my engagement photos and for my wedding. She was recommended to me by a friend and I am so glad she was! Lori was amazing she surpassed my expectations. Not only was she incredibly friendly and made me feel comfortable right away she has an ability to use make-up to bring out both the inward and outward beauty! On my wedding day she made me radiate. I know I looked beautiful, and most importantly I felt like myself! She captured true beauty with her make-up. Not only did she make me beautiful she made my girls and my mom gorgeous! She made each one of us feel so comfortable in our own skin! I will recommend her to anyone who is getting married. She discovers what you dream to look like on your big day and she helps that dream come true with her art!

Lori is AWESOME - my makeup was flawless on my wedding day, and she was so great to work with. She is incredibly responsive, showed up early, very professional, and all of my bridesmaids loved her! My makeup still looked great when I took it off 15 hours later - love the airbrush makeup. I barely had to explain what I wanted, she knew exactly from a few key words what I wanted and nailed it the first time at my makeup trial. She has a great personality and I loved having her there to spend the day with. She has done a million weddings and knows exactly how to handle everything that comes up. I loved the way my makeup looked, don't hesitate to hire her!

Lori was one of the best makeup artists I have ever encountered. She made me look like me, just better. Some of my girls were a bit nervous about getting their makeup done (as they have had bad experiences in the past), but she put them right at ease. She allowed them to experiment and if they didn't like what she was doing she would immediately stop and fix it. Of course, none of them hated it, in fact they all loved it and couldn't stop talking about how wonderful they felt with the makeup!

Lori made us all feel like we were on top of the world!

Lori was simply AMAZING!! We actually had fun during the trial too! I was nervous and did not want to look "made up", but Lori created a look based on my natural face so the result was amazingly comfortable, fabulous and beautiful!!! Besides her spectacular abilities, she is just a really great person who makes you feel at ease and beautiful. Her professionalism manor was evident from start to finish. I can not sing her praises enough - HIRE THIS WOMAN!!!

Lori is AMAZING! She really knows how to make you look and feel beautiful! I first met Lori last October, as she was hired to do bridal makeup for my good friend. I was a bridesmaid, so I was lucky enough for Lori to do my makeup too. I immediately fell in love with her work & her great personality! Since then, I have passed her name along to every bride I know, and as a result, she has been able to do my makeup 4 times as a bridesmaid. I have loved it every time! A few weeks ago when I got married she did my bridal makeup and it was better than I could have ever imagined. Lori had her hands full on my wedding day; not only did she do my makeup, but she did my 11 bridesmaids, my mom, my aunt, and family friend! We certainly kept her busy and every single one of the ladies looked absolutely stunning. Lori is organized, SO quick at responding, and SO very talented. She is very thoughtful and detailed in determining your wedding look. The makeup she uses is great quality and lasts all day and night! I would absolutely recommend her for future brides. I am already brainstorming special occasions that I can use her for in the future!

lori was so much fun to work with! everyone looked so stunning, she is amazing with her make up skills, and airbrush is the best thing since sliced bread! my makeup, and all of the ladies, was flawless for the entire evening. go book her now! she is great and what she does, and funny and warm to be around for the day! she added such a great vibe to our day!

Lori is an amazing person to work with. We did a trial when I was a BM in another wedding and everyone was commenting on how amazing my makeup was. It was a bit more dramatic but really enhanced my natural look. She then did my wedding makeup and without having to go into too much detail, she knew exactly what I wanted and transformed my look into the perfect "bride" image. I couldn't have been happier.

Lori responds extremely quickly, shows up on time (if not a little early) and shows the utmost professionalism with her talent. Her personality also enhances the experience b/c she's passionate about what she does and is friendly and warm throughout the entire process.

I plan on getting everyday makeup lessons from Lori in the future b/c I just can't let her out of my life yet! I would 100% recommend her services to anyone in need for a special makeup occasion.

“HIRE LORI with Le Mariee Makeup!! If you want to look beautiful on your wedding day, Lori is the makeup artist that you must hire.

I spent a lot of time researching and contacting numerous other makeup artists in the DC/VA/MD area before I found Lori with Le Mariee Makeup, I truly believe that I have found the best one. I really doubt that there are many other makeup artists that have as many great reviews just on Wedding Wire as Lori has. That definitely says something in itself. Overall, Lori is very professional, punctual, creative, fun and takes pride in her work. She wants you to look and feel your best on your wedding day. You will have no regrets about the way that you look if you hire her.

I had an outdoor wedding at a historic mansion on a hot summer evening and had seven people in my wedding party who needed makeup done. Lori applied airbrush makeup and lashes to each of us in our standard hotel room, taking care to pay attention to every detail. Even though Lori had never met any of my bridesmaids before the day of the wedding, she was able to create an individual and beautiful look for each person. Everyone loved their makeup. In addition, everyone’s makeup stayed in place ALL day and night long despite the insane humidity, heat and crazy dancing. I swear our wedding was one of the hottest days of the summer. If you’re unsure of the lashes – go for it. Honestly, this is what really makes your eyes pop in your wedding photos. Everyone in my wedding party had them applied, including my mother. She loved them and has never received more compliments in her life.

If you hire Lori with Le Mariee Makeup, you have hired one of the best makeup artists in the DC/VA/MD area, hands down. If you're debating between a couple of other makeup artists, call or email Lori and then at least give her a shot at a trial run. You won't be disappointed.”

Lori is amazing she does great work and is very easy to work with. Lori not only does amazing makeup but she gets to know her brides and put their personalities into their bridal look!

Lori is AMAZING!!! I met Lori about 2 months before my big day and from the time I got to Lori's she made me feel like we had known each other for years I definitely think that everyone should get a trial makeup run done not to really practice your look but to get to know Lori!!!! She gets to know you and includes your personality into your look and on the big day she NAILS it!!! Also, besides making me look and feel great on my big day she took the time to do the same for all of my girls too. I was sooo lucky to get Lori to do my makeup and couldn't imagine it any other way!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE Lori!!!!

Lori was amazing. The airbrush makeup is definitely worth the extra money as my makeup stayed put all day and barely needed any touch ups. Its nice to have one less thing to worry about on your wedding day. Even without a trail run, I was fully confident in Lori's skills and she definitely delivered. I couldnt imagine using anyone different!

INCREDIBLE! It is very rare that you meet someone who is thoughtful, professional and INSANELY talented- Lori Nansi of Le Mariee is all of these things and more. I have never received so many compliments on my makeup as I did on the day of my wedding; and I am someone who feels pretty confident on doing my own makeup for other events. She is so kind-hearted, easy to work with and dedicated. She takes her time and will not leave until every inch of your face is flawless. I am just trying to think of another event now that I can use her for. She honestly went above and beyond in ALL avenues of wedding day preparation!!
