a fabulously talented artist & a lovely person

Lauren’s impeccable taste, artistic skill, and most of all, kindness made me feel beautiful and confident on my wedding day. When I first reached out to Lauren, it had been around a decade since I’d last had a full face of makeup, and I was nervous about looking and feeling like myself in my wedding pictures. Lauren was just incredible. She corresponded with me over email and on calls to strategize and develop the perfect look for me. And the look that Lauren created for me was perfect! She ensured that all of my natural features, even my freckles, were visible while accentuating the parts of my face that I like best. Lauren gave me luxurious lashes, open eyes, and glowing skin—and most importantly, she made me feel relaxed and pampered in the make-up chair. The effect of Lauren’s “no make-up” look was dramatic. My best guy friend and my husband’s best man both had knee-jerk shocked reactions—the former shouted that I looked amazing, and the latter almost fell over as he came around a corner and caught a glimpse of my face. Both qualified, later, that they had never seen me looking so glamorous, and they were stunned. While the men of the wedding were reacting to Lauren’s makeup, Lauren was upstairs taking the best care of my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law is an icon in my social group: famous for her dramatic reactions and exacting yet capricious requirements of everyone in her life. Lauren stuck with her as she changed her mind, tweaked the makeup, and ultimately pointed at my face, saying “like that, like that,” treating her with patience and compassion. When Lauren was finished, my mother-in-law looked the best I’ve ever seen her, and my bridesmaids and flower girls were ethereal. I will certainly be calling on Lauren for all future life events when I have to be photographed—including my doctoral graduation!—and I cannot recommend her highly enough, as a fabulously talented artist and a lovely person.

Best makeup, best person

We have been using Lauren for years, for our family events (bar/bat mitzvahs, weddings etc) and she never disappoints. She is incredibly skilled and listens to us in terms of what we want. She is not formulaic so we never look exactly the same. She is also a joy to be around and a truly lovely person. We all love her and have big smiles when she comes.

Lauren is second to none! Highly recommend!

Working with Lauren was an absolute pleasure, and I highly recommend her services. She could not have been more accommodating and easy to schedule with. She has an amazing sense of humor and makes you feel comfortable which is a tremendous plus. Her work is hands down the best I have ever experienced and uses high quality, hypoallergenic products. She expressed great knowledge in skin care and even gave me recommendations for my daily routines. She was right on time, in fact she was early and took her time. Her attention to detail and ability to exceed my expectations for the look I was going for was second to none. If you need a make up artist for ANY event, Lauren needs to be your girl! Highly recommended!

Lauren did an absolutely fantastic job on my wedding makeup. I tried a number of makeup artists, and she was hands down the best. She made me look like the most beautiful version of myself. My makeup stayed on throughout the day and night without the need for touch-ups. She was also a pleasure to chat with the morning of my big day as my bridesmaids and I were getting ready. I would definitely recommend Lauren to any brides in the area!

Lauren was incredible this past weekend. She did my bridal make-up and also my mom's make-up. We both looked absolutely stunning and received so many compliments. Not only is Lauren an incredible artist, she is also a great person to spend the afternoon with. She is funny and supportive! When I was dealing with some weather related issues about the venue, Lauren gave sound advice and helped me solve the problem. She's a good, calm person to have around on a pretty chaotic day! Lauren made sure to check how I photographed on the photographer's camera before sending me off and also made sure I had all the make-up components for touch-ups. She is professional, prepared, and all around amazing. You will not regret booking her!

Lauren is a beautiful person inside and out. She takes her work as a makeup artist very seriously, yet she maintains an excellent sense of humor whenever it is needed. She arrives on time, fully prepared, with more than enough products to satisfy the needs of the bride and bridal party. Lauren has an amazing sense of color and knows how to complement the coloring of her subject. She brings out your most beautiful features and uses the highest quality items. The trial session took longer than the wedding day makeup session itself, which made perfect sense to me, since she took her time and was thoughtful and careful in every way, as she experimented with what she and I liked best. She can talk about any subject if you like, or she can be quiet if you like, which is also very sweet when you just want to relax. She even brings lovely music if you so desire, enabling you to drift away and dream of your wedding as she applies your makeup. Her cosmetics and brushes were thoroughly clean and fresh. She truly knows how to keep the bride happy! She always kept me as her focus, and consistently made me feel like my needs were important above everyone else's, even her own. She is a smart, efficient, talented professional and I don't know what I would have done without her. There may be many makeup artists to choose from but Lauren is literally an all-around-beauty-expert. She applies gorgeous lashes, takes sample photos so you (and she) can see how well you will photograph, and basically does every single thing a makeup artist should do for a bride. She's a genuine person and she is no nonsense. The best part about Lauren was that she made the morning of my wedding so much fun for me. She somehow shielded me from all the chaos of the many people running around near me. She applied everything with a gentle hand. Her whole style put my mind at ease. I wanted my wedding to feel absolutely dreamy, not hectic, and Lauren helped make my dream come true!
