Laura is the best!

Laura is amazing at what she does! Not only is she good at her job, but she’s so personable! It was easy spending hours with her on my wedding day.

During the trial, she checked in after every step so I could pinpoint any adjustments. Her attention to detail during the trial, made the wedding day a breeze.

I don’t wear makeup often and I wanted a natural look, which she nailed! She did such a good job that my mom, who didn’t want her makeup done, changed her mind on the day of. Luckily, we had extra time in our timeline and she was flexible enough to make it work last minute!

Highly Recommend for Your Wedding Day!

I had the absolute pleasure of having Laura do my makeup for my wedding, and I could not be happier with the experience or the final look. She is incredibly kind and has such a calming presence , exactly what every bride needs on such a big day! After my trial, I gave her a few notes on what I was hoping to adjust, and she took every detail into account and executed it perfectly. My makeup looked amazing and lasted all night long!

Best makeup artist

Laura was such a pleasure to work with and make me feel absolutely beautiful on my wedding day. She perfectly handled makeup for my mom and mother-in-law, two bridesmaids, and myself and made everyone feel so comfortable and good about their looks. She listened to exactly what I wanted and delivered it perfectly. I had a few minor changes from what we'd done at my trial, and she understood exactly what I was asking for and absolutely nailed the vision. My makeup also lasted all day -- one of my friends even said at the afterparty, "How do you still look so good? It's actually annoying." On top of being amazingly talented, Laura is also such a joy to be around. She has such a sweet presence and good energy, and getting ready with her felt like chatting with one of my girlfriends. In short, if you are thinking about hiring Laura as your makeup artist, do it!

Amazing make up artist

Laura was amazing! I switched up my make up last minute…day of my wedding which I was nervous about because it was totally different from my trial. Laura did an amazing job!!!!!!! She delivered! I was SO happy with how my make up came out. My bridesmaids also loved their make up. Laura was responsive and made me feel secure with her showing up for my wedding.

Best makeup artist ever!

Laura knows what she's doing! I asked for a natural makeup bridal look, and she exceeded my expectations! I was over the moon with the results. Also, it didn't even feel like I had makeup on as her products were gentle and soft, and the eye lashes were very natural looking. My mom, grandma, and mother in law were also very happy with their makeup results. Laura made all of us feel very beautiful and confident!

Couldn't be happier with my wedding make-up experience!

Working with Laura for my October 2023 wedding was a dream! She was so sweet, communicative, and helpful throughout the planning process and knew exactly how to achieve the makeup look I and my bridesmaids wanted. She's skilled in working with a variety of skin tones, from dark to fair, which we needed for our group - and all of our makeup looked flawless day-of and lasted the entire night! We loved working with her. Thank you so much, Laura!

Best Makeup Artist Ever

There aren’t enough thank yous or words to express how grateful I am to have had Laura as my MUA for my wedding day. She perfected my look and it lasted the entire day without fault. She made me look my best and feel my best because she is so sweet and kind! I got so many compliments on how my makeup looked because while it was bold, it was still natural glam and Laura made it absolutely flawless. On top of that, she did all of my bridesmaids makeup stunningly and they loved all of their looks. I couldn’t recommend Laura enough, she’s the best. And I hope to continue to go to her for future makeup needs!! 1000/10!!
