About

When a makeup line representative came into the salon I was currently working for, their "less is more" approach intrigued me and I dove in head first to a world I wasn't extremely familiar with. We all grow up trying our best when it comes to makeup but are never fully taught the basics. Makeup should never be something to be afraid of, or in my opinion, overdone.

I specialize in a more natural approach to every makeup application highlighting your natural beauty with a little extra glam, all while listening to your needs and overall goal in a completed look.

Clean beauty is something I am passionate about which is why I also offer lessons in organic makeup and include these products in all of my applications. We have all the resources to take care of our skin, so why not take advantage!

I look forward to meeting you whether it be for a wedding, special event, commercial or film work or a general girls night out with a makeup party!

Best Makeup Artist

We worked with Styles by Callie and Makeup by Sarah Lord for our August wedding, and they were absolutely wonderful. Sarah went above and beyond during my trial to talk through every detail of the look I wanted. We worked closely together to make sure I would look and feel my best on such an important day. On the wedding day, Sarah and her team provided makeup for a group of bridesmaids and two moms, and everyone received exactly the look they hoped for. Most importantly, our makeup lasted beautifully late into the night. I highly recommend Sarah — she’s incredibly sweet, attentive, and truly makes you feel your best!

The Best Makeup Artist for Your Wedding Day

I got married on July 11, 2025, and I truly cannot recommend Sarah enough as a makeup artist. She was absolutely amazing from start to finish. I have never felt so beautiful, glam, and yet completely like myself.

Sarah was not only professional and incredibly talented, but also a calming, positive presence to have around on the morning of the wedding. Her communication throughout the process was excellent, and she made everything feel easy and stress-free.

We did a makeup trial beforehand, and she was so open to feedback. She listened carefully to my preferences and made thoughtful adjustments, all while using her expert eye to ensure I would look my best both in person and in photos.

On the big day, she also did a phenomenal job with my bridesmaids, my mom, mother-in-law, and grandmother — everyone looked stunning and felt confident.

If you're looking for someone who is skilled, kind, and truly understands how to make you look and feel your best, Sarah is the one!

An Exceptional Experience with Sarah Lord

An Exceptional Experience with Sarah Lord
I am so grateful to Sarah Lord for making me and my entire wedding party look and feel absolutely beautiful on our big day! From the moment we met, Sarah’s professionalism and attention to detail were evident. She took the time to understand the look I was going for and brought it to life in the most flawless way.
Sarah did an incredible job with the makeup for not only me but also my bridesmaids, mother, and the rest of the wedding party. Everyone looked stunning, and the makeup stayed perfect all day long.
What truly stood out was Sarah's punctuality and her calm, friendly demeanor. She was on time and made sure everything went smoothly without feeling rushed. She was a true professional, and I felt completely at ease in her hands.
If you're looking for a makeup artist who is talented, detail-oriented, and truly cares about making you feel your best on your wedding day, I highly recommend Sarah Lord. Thank you again for making our day even more special!

Flawless Wedding Makeup by Sarah Lord: A Perfect Addition to Your Special Day

I had the absolute pleasure of having Sarah Lord as my wedding makeup artist, and she was an incredible addition to my wedding vendors. Sarah made me feel absolutely perfect on my special day, and her makeup lasted flawlessly throughout the entire event. She went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect, and her friendly, accommodating, communicative, talented, and funny nature made her feel like an extension of the bridal party rather than just a vendor. Everyone who had their makeup done by Sarah loved the results, as she highlighted their natural beauty without making the makeup feel heavy. I couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Incredible Wedding Make-Up Artist!

When looking for a make-up artist for our wedding, I knew I wanted someone who conveyed a natural look, but also a look that was timeless. Sarah has such a great eye - every single member of my bridal party was genuinely happy with the way their make-up turned out and I was blown away. Sarah went above and beyond (even from my trial) - I truly felt my best! And despite the tears during the ceremony, my make-up stayed perfectly in place all night long! Highly recommend Sarah and her team!

Can’t Recommend Enough!

Sarah and her team are AMAZING! I almost never wear makeup, and was very nervous going into my trial. Sarah instantly put me at ease, and gave me a perfectly natural elevated look. I looked like me (but better!!!). She gave me all kinds of tips and tricks on how to prep for the wedding, and was adored by my entire wedding party and family. Sarah has a warm, calming presence. She made all of my girlfriends feel listened to, cared for, and beautiful. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous makeup artist (and all around great person!).

Hire sarah!

Sarah, Callie, and their assistants were so excellent. All 7 bridesmaids, the moms, and I could not have felt more beautiful. Our make up lasted all night and our hair stayed put! They were professional and so fun to hang out with in the bridal suite. They were also quick and effective communicators during the planning process. I cannot recommend them enough!

Just what I wanted!

Sarah was flexible, talented, and professional. I went for a no-makeup makeup look and Sarah pulled it off beautifully. My photos looked so natural but I still had great definition and an even complexion. Amazing work and I'd definitely hire her again!

I have never felt so beautiful in my life!

Sarah is nothing but amazing! From start to finish she was so kind, understanding and professional. She took her time to really see my vision and understand exactly what I wanted even when I didn’t fully understand what I wanted myself. Sarah and Callie were my fairy godmothers swooping in 5 weeks before our wedding after having a horrible experience with a past team. Sarah’s work is phenomenal – I never looked so good while still looking like myself. Plus, my makeup still looked perfect after eating, dancing, and for sure sweating on the 98 degree outdoor wedding. My family still talks about Sarah, our makeup and how we all never felt better -- even my mother who hates when others do her makeup. I will recommend this team time and time again and can’t wait for our next event so I can get glammed by them again! Thank you Sarah!!

Sarah and her team are a dream!

We could not have been happier with our makeup experience with Sarah and her team. Sarah, her assistant Kate, and her business partner Callie (who did our hair) were absolute all-stars for our wedding. After my trial I realized I wanted to make a few tweaks and Sarah and Callie were so patient on the day and made sure to check in and be sure I was happy with the result. Our entire wedding party looked amazing but more than that Sarah & Callie brought the absolute best energy. They were so fun and friendly I practically wish they were in my bridal party as well!

What was also great was how efficient and adaptable they were. They were able to come to our hotel room and were so great in keeping everything clean and organized in a compact space and allowed us to really lounge all day. Sarah & Callie pride themselves on being extremely on-time (which I have learned can be an issue with hair and makeup) and finished with plenty of time to spare.

I would recommend Sarah and her team to anyone looking for a beautiful and natural look and someone who wants good energy on their wedding day!
