Amazing to Work With

I couldn't have asked for a better day! Tiwa's professionalism and work were a highlight for everyone, and all the ladies felt and looked beautiful. My mom and MOH especially just fell in love with you and are still talking about their look. I can't even begin to tell you how many compliments I received! I felt absolutely stunning on my wedding day, and my husband just loved it :) Thank you so much!

Tiwa has been doing my make up for over 10 years. She is patient, kind, and never disappoints. My make up is always flawless. I highly recommend her for bridal makeup as well as any other special occasion.

Highly Recommend!!

Tiwa and her team were phenomenal, & we heard nothing but great things from guests about how cohesive the bridesmaids makeup looks were. Tiwa is full of light & positivity & she hired a team with that same energy. It made a lasting impression on ALL of my bridesmaids and family. I felt beautiful and so did my friends and family.

Tiwa is the best

Tiwa is the best! Literally! I booked Tiwa off of her portfolio and professionalism alone but omg her personality is the type of energy you want when you’re getting ready the morning of your wedding! She’s organized and thorough so there’s a deep breath of relief when she’s around because she’s got everything under control. I had a large wedding party (8 girls, 2 moms, 1 godmother, 1 grandmother in addition to me the bride) she and her partner made us ALL look good and like ourselves simultaneously. I hate the style of makeup that changes your face, Tiwa is truly an artist she accentuated all the best parts of everyone. I booked Tiwa for bridal portraits, rehearsal dinner and of course the wedding. Cannot wait to work with Tiwa again!

Awesome and Professional Experience!

This was my second experience with Mrs. Lawrence. Everything was completely professional and she made me feel so beautiful. She explained everything that she was doing as she applied product. From her wonderful conversation to the comfortable studio setting, it was amazing! I will always support and send new clients her way! Thank you so much Tiwa!

Talented artist and phenomenal woman

Thank you so much for helping make my wedding day special and for the beautiful well wishes! You have a gift girl! Thanks for sharing it with me!! And thanks for taking the time to explain everything to me along the way. For someone who had no makeup experience and was really anxious about the outcome that was really helpful. I didn't have a vision of what I wanted other than to feel special on my special day and you made that come together beautifully! You really get to know your client so you can create a custom look for them. That's so awesome!!

The Absolute Best

I have never had service this exceptional before. She made me feel beautiful. She arrived early, sterilized her work station, and all of her tools were extremely clean. On a day as important as your wedding you want someone who is meticulous and who delivers grade-A work. I have had several makeup Professional artist over the years, but I will never go to anyone else after being blessed by Tiwa. She is worth paying the travel fees ! Lastly, on your wedding day you want to be surrounded by great energy and warm spirits and she brings all of that along with her craft. Ladies if you’re reading this review, listen when I say THIS IS WHO YOU WANT.

Excellent Service

Working with Tiwa was hands down one of the most pleasant and rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. Every time I have an event no matter what it is, I will make it my priority to book her as my makeup artist. She is so professional, so kind, and beyond gifted at what she does. She took the time to know the look I wanted and she NAILED it for my photo shoot! Not only did she have my makeup perfect but she she stayed during my photo shoot to touch up my make up and my hair and change my look between each outfit. Because of Tiwa, my photo shoot completely exceeded my expectations. I would HIGHLY recommend Tiwa for a wedding, birthday party, photo shoot, or anything where you want your look to be perfect!!!! I have worked with Tiwa for years, and she has consistently given me the absolute best look and has made me feel absolutely gorgeous! Please make sure you book her for your wedding!!

Tiwa really knows her stuff! As a photographer, she makes my pictures look great by making the bride look as naturally beautiful as possible.

She is personable and fun which will put you at ease on your big day. Hire a professional make-up artist for your day and make sure that person is Tiwa Lawrence!
