    Lori did my makeup and hair for my wedding day. Without a practice run and she did amazing!!!!!

    Lori did my hair and makeup on my wedding day. We didn’t have a practice run and I was a bit unsure of what I wanted. She really helped guide me on my look and it turned out absolutely perfect. She was also very professional accommodating and personal. I would recommend to anyone getting married in PR. What a gem !!!💎

    Princess Bride

    Lory was exceptional! She’s been my H&M for years, and I wouldn’t have picked anyone else for this special occasion. She was flexible as I added my stepdaughter last minute for H&M and she didn’t disappoint, she looked absolutely stunning! She also did my mom’s H&M, she did amazing; she was patient with her and her request. That morning was caos but she didn’t disappoint my hair was perfect and my makeup as well! The overall look lasted 12 hrs!! I was sad to take it all off! Thank you Lory for the perfect look for my perfect day!

    Highly Recommend!

    Lory did my hair for my wedding day and she is truly the best! She made me feel so comfortable day of and was so flexible and accommodating when I was initially emailing asking about different hairstyles. She did my hair in the morning and waited hours to come back and redo my hair for the reception. I wish I lived in Puerto Rico so that I could hire her for every special event. Thank you Lory!!!

    The Best experience I’ve had!

    Lory was amazing! She was flexible with location and open to meeting the party at our Airbnb! She was personable and kept me company as my nerves kicked in and had to constantly stop to regroup. She executed the make up to perfection, knowing what we wanted and was able to blend the foundation, which was always a concern because of our skin complexion. I would definitely recommend her And use her again in any future events when I’m in Puerto Rico.

    Makeup By Lory Rms was a 10 out of 10!

    I cannot say enough good things about working with Makeup By Lory Rms for my wedding this past weekend. Planning a destination wedding can be stressful and from the moment I connected with Lory that stress went away. All my questions were answered promptly and service was provided as expected and then some! The staff on the day of our event was friendly, professional, and very flexible. I was worried with not having done a trail run of my hair and makeup but Lory executed my vision better then I could have ever imagined. You know your in love with the outcome when you see the final look and want to cry! All the women loved their looks and were impressed with all the looks! A moment I will never forget is when I walked out and seeing my fiancé face and him saying "wow babe you look good" over and over. We loved every second working with Makeup By Lory Rms. I do not have one bad thing to say regarding Impress by Makeup By Lory Rms. I would HIGHLY recommend Makeup By Lory Rms.

    Fantastic!

    Lory was fantastic. I couldn’t recommend her more. She did an amazing job with my bridal makeup and her and her assistant did so great with my bridesmaids as well. She responds quickly and was so friendly and easy to talk to. 10/10.

    Lovely Service

    Lory is amazing! She is so kind and professional. She really listens to what you want and has a way of making you feel calm on your big day! She is very responsive and answers any questions you may have. She even made time to do my mom’s hair at the last minute which I greatly appreciated. She comes prepared and really tries to get you know you as a person. I loved my look and the whole experience. Thank you Lory for making me feel beautiful on my special day! 100% recommend

    Have never felt more beautiful - Lory is amazing!

    I cannot say enough good things about Lory. She and her assistant made me and my family feel so comfortable and beautiful! We all felt like she understood exactly what we were looking for and couldn't have been more happy with how our hair and make-up turned out. Lory prepared us all with a touch-up kit that was exactly what you need to take about your day. The make-up lasted ALL night - photos were glam from start to finish.

    Lory was flexible with some additions we made after our initial contract and was always so lovely and easy to communicate with over email.

    I was not able to visit Puerto Rico for a trial ahead of the wedding and I didn't need one.. she nailed it!

    Book her today!

    January 9th 2024 Wedding

    Lory was absolutely incredible! Planning a destination wedding without getting to do a trial had me feeling nervous, but she completely exceeded my expectations. From start to finish, she made the entire process so easy and enjoyable.

    She made me and all my bridesmaids look amazing! The hair and makeup lasted all night long—even the flowers in my hair stayed in place until I took them out myself. Her attention to detail was unmatched; she even tried on three different sets of lashes before finding the perfect ones for me, which I truly appreciated.

    I don’t usually wear much makeup and was worried that a heavy look wouldn’t suit me. I expressed my concerns, and she nailed it, creating a look that made me feel beautiful and bridal without feeling overdone. My makeup was flawless, and her work didn’t cause any issues with my eczema, which was a huge relief.

    Everyone raved about how gorgeous they looked the next day. Even certain people that are notoriously hard to please, said Lory’s work was far better than the last wedding she attended where she had professional hair and makeup done. That compliment speaks volumes!

    Lory made my wedding day truly magical. If you’re looking for someone talented, professional, and who listens to your needs, I highly recommend her! Here are some pictures of her beautiful work—thank you, Lory, for making my special day perfect!

    Just Fabulous!

    Lory was absolutely fabulous! Throughout the planning process, we had a few changes to the bridal party, and she was so flexible and easy to work with. On the wedding day, Lory and her team were nothing short of amazing. They kept everything running smoothly, ensuring that everyone’s makeup and hair were done on time—and flawlessly!

    When Lory finished my makeup and completed my look, she truly brought tears to my eyes. It was so amazing and far beyond what I could have imagined. Not everything goes perfectly on your wedding day, but Lory truly nailed it. She worked without any complaints and made sure everyone looked stunning. We even had a fun music playlist going, which created such a relaxed, positive vibe during the morning.

    I would book her again in a heartbeat if I could do it all over. Highly recommend Lory and her team for any special occasion—they are simply the best!

    Highly Recommend!!!

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Lory for my wedding, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the big day, Lory was professional, attentive, and incredibly talented.

    Professionalism and Communication: From the moment we first spoke, Lory made me feel at ease. She listened carefully to my ideas and provided valuable suggestions to enhance my vision. Her communication was prompt and clear, ensuring that all my questions were answered and any concerns addressed.

    Skill and Creativity: On the day of the wedding, Lory arrived on time and fully prepared. Her skill in both hair and make-up is truly exceptional. She created a look that was not only beautiful but also perfectly suited to my style and the theme of the wedding. The make-up was flawless and lasted all day, and the hairstyle was elegant and stayed in place throughout the celebrations.

    Personal Touch: What sets Lory apart is their personal touch. She made me feel special and pampered, which is exactly what every bride needs on her wedding day. Her calm and friendly demeanor helped to ease my nerves.

    Overall Experience: I highly recommend Lory to any bride looking for a mobile hair and make-up artist. Her professionalism, talent, and personal touch made my wedding day even more special. Thank you, Lory, for making me feel like the most beautiful bride!

    5/5 stars!! One of the best decisions I made for my wedding day!

    5/5 stars!! I booked Lory for her hair and makeup services for my destination wedding in PR, and I can easily say that choosing Lory was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding day! She did my hair exactly as I asked for and my makeup was so stunning. I wasn't able to do a trial run with Lory, which did make me nervous, but I had nothing to worry about. Her work is beautiful and hair/makeup skills are top tier! Lory and her team were able to do all hair types, from straight to very curly, and everyone was so happy with their results. She also did an amazing job color matching foundation to match everyone’s skin tones, which I know can be tricky when looking for a MUA. She was on-time, very affordable, and so much fun! Thank you Lory & Team!

    Excellent!

    Coming to PR from out of town for my niece's beach wedding in July, Lory was the PERFECT FIT for our hair & makeup needs. It was so hot! Our makeup stayed in place all day looking as fresh at the end of the day as it had when she finished it. Our hair stood up to the windy beach wedding. I would 100% hire Lory again for any event or occasion.

    The most beautiful I have ever felt!

    I have naturally curly hair and have always struggled finding professional stylists who know how to handle it. Lory blew me away and made me feel so beautiful for my wedding. She used my natural curls and perfectly replicated my vision so I felt like myself but better. The makeup was also beautiful and everything lasted all night - even for a steamy outdoor wedding where I danced all night! She was so easy to work with - flexible in scheduling both the wedding day and a trial for a destination wedding. The best!

    PR destination wedding!

    I literally don't have the words to describe how great my experience was!
    I had a destination wedding in Puerto Rico. Because it was destination, I never did a trial before the day of my wedding. But, my hair and makeup was absolutely everything I would have ever wanted! I looked amazing thanks to Lory. She was prepared, proactive, and easy to communicate with.
    Additionally, she is great at working with long, thick, curly hair!
    I can't recommend her enough!!!

    Highly Recommend!

    Lory is the best!! We had our niece’s wedding two weeks ago, and me and my sisters wanted to look our best , specially as women in their late 50s. She was super friendly and willing to answer all of our questions regarding make up for black women with sensitive skin. She also did our hair in addition to our make up, there were three of us in total. Never felt rushed and the experience felt very relaxing. I’d highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look fabulous for the holidays or for any special occasion. Thank you, Lory! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

    Amazing! The best Makeup Artist around.

    She's been with me through the most important events of my life doing my hair and makeup and my wedding was not the exception. I sent her my inspirations and she went above and beyond. It was more that I could imagine. Just trust. She and her squad make an excellent work.

    The Best!!!

    Lory is the absolute BEST at what she does! She will make you feel like a movie star on your wedding day. I don't usually write reviews but Lory did such an amazing job on myself and step daughter. I am so happy I was able to hire her in such a short notice. She went above and beyond, she even helped us with some posing with the photographer. I couldn't have asked for a better hair and makeup artist. Definity a must hire!

    You’ve Just Found Your Makeup & Hair Artist - Highly Recommend

    I had the pleasure of having Makeup by Lory RMS for my bridal makeup, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. As someone who doesn't typically wear makeup, I was quite apprehensive, but Lory and her assistant, Marribelle, put all my worries to rest.

    Lory not only listened carefully to my concerns but also engaged in easy (bilingual) conversation throughout the process. Her expertise was evident as she walked me through every step. When I looked in the mirror at the end, I felt absolutely ethereal.

    Lory's versatility is truly impressive. She can create anything from a full-glam look to a more natural and enchanting beauty, which is exactly what I had in mind. I couldn't have been more pleased with the results, and I can't recommend Lory and her team enough.

    If you're looking for a makeup artist who can work wonders and make you feel like a true bride, Lory is the one to choose. Thanks to her and her team, my special day was even more magical.

    Wonderful!

    HIGHLY RECOMMEND
    
I had Lory Rms to do my make up and hair style for my daughter’s wedding. She is really artistic, professional, friendly and reliable. I explained exactly what I wanted and she created a fabulous look for me. She listened, offered advice, and created the look I was after.
    Lory did my makeup and hair style along with 3 bridesmaids and also the mother of the groom. Lory and Tatiana managed to get all of us ready in good time. She really helped us to relax and take the day easy. It was stress free and everyone looked stunning.
    Thank you Lory Rms so much for being a part of our special day and for your wonderful work. It was a real pleasure.
    Her skills are perfection!

    Lory is amazing!

    My fiancé & I decided to do our engagement photoshoot in San Juan, Puerto Rico. Our photographer recommended a few make up artists, Lory was one of those people, when I saw her Instagram I knew right away she was going to do an amazing job. When we met Lory, she gave us such a welcoming, & warm energy. She made me feel super comfortable, and really paid attention to my inspiration but also added her own creative flare to my makeup look. Lory is so so talented, she also can do hair, I have big, frizzy hair & the day we decided to take photos was super humid & rainy.. I have to say my hair held up so well, my hair truly was so beautiful. I felt like a princess with my hair and make up done. I really recommend her to any person getting married in Puerto Rico, or even having their photos done. You will NOT be disappointed. I loved Lory so much, that me and my fiancé are even thinking of flying her out to our destination wedding in the Dominican Republic.

    Bridal hair

    Lory did the hair for my 3 bridesmaids and I. As a destination bride I was very nervous about how my hair would turn out and I’m so glad I chose Lory! Lory starts each appointment with a thorough consultation to make sure you get exactly what you want. My bridesmaids and my hair turned out just how we wanted it to and we were thrilled with the results!

    Lory was wonderful! She did my hair and makeup for my wedding and my engagement photos a year before and did amazing with both. She matched my inspiration photos while also helping me make decisions based on my complexion/skin tone. All of my bridesmaids were extremely happy with how their hair and makeup turned out, and I got so many compliments on my own look as well. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Wonderful person and amazing HMU skills!

    Lory made me feel amazing and look so beautiful! I knew I wanted to have Lory as my makeup artist ever since I did the hair & make up test. She is so skillful at hair and make up and did what I wanted based on the inspo photos and everything turned out way better than I expected it the day of the wedding. She also helped me narrow down the make up as I had a couple different ideas and took in consideration what I liked and didn't like. She is communicative, responsible, punctual, and flexible. Days before the wedding she sent clear instructions on how to prepare the skin and hair, and recommendations on what clothing to wear. She is so easy to get along with and was just a joy to have her on my team. The make up and hair lasted all day and night, even after lots of dancing!!

    One Woman Wonder

    I'm about 7 months too late to write my review but I figure better late than never! Lory was amazing on our wedding day. Patient, diligent, flexible (thanks to a mid-day suite move after our hotel messed up!). I got so many compliments on my hair and somehow she worked her magic to allow it to stay fabulous all night, even in the PR heat and humidity. Thank you Lory and I would never hesitate to hire you for an event again.

    Makeup By Lory Rms's reply:

    Thank you so much for your words Alexandra! It was a pleasure to meet you and an honor to be a part of one of the most special days in your life! Hope you're having a beautiful holiday season! Hugs from the Caribbean!

    Dream Wedding Look!

    Could not rave anymore about Lory and her team-- coming from NYC, I was nervous about finding vendors during a difficult time like during COVID. Lory and her team is 10/10 in every aspect. She is so patient and incredibly talented. My bridal party could not have been more thrilled. We all were ecstatic. The wedding evening ended up being incredibly humid and our make-up and hair stayed perfect throughout the entire event, start to finish. I would recommend Lory to *anyone* -- she was so responsive and open to communicating, and she really delivered on the look I was going for (she asked for pictures before the event) and it was absolutely perfect. She also provided a touch-up kit and included lip color for me to freshen up later on. Could not have asked for a more professional or incredible experience! Thank you!!!

    Flawless professionalism

    Lory made me feel so beautiful and special on my wedding day. She did such an amazing job & was extremely professional. I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted but with her expertise, she enhanced my everyday look to a more glamorous style.
    I’m not sure I’ve ever felt more beautiful.

    Wedding Party Haor & Makeup

    Lory and her team were fantastic! Very punctual and worked in advance with us to collect photos of desired hair and makeup looks for myself and all the bridesmaids. I asked for a more natural look and she delivered! Hair and makeup stayed all night. Would definitely reccomend!

    Thank you so much for your words Jessica! It was our pleasure to enhance your beautiful faces for the most special day! Many blessings on this new journey!

    Beautiful makeup and hair

    Lory did such a wonderful job overall. From the beginning, she was very communicative and understanding as I sorted out location and time. She did a wonderful job working on my hair and makeup. She was such a pleasure to work with and was easy to talk to. She offered great insight but helped make my ideal look possible in any way she can. If i'm ever in PR for any other event, she will be my go to contact for a beautiful look.

    Probably the Best Hairstylist I’ve ever had. ❤️

    Doing my hair with Lory was one of the highlights of our wedding. She and her assistant are truly amazing, professional, and so talented. We had done a trial with my hair straight, but a couple of days before the wedding, I told her I was learning to embrace my natural curls and felt I might want to wear my hair curly instead. She was so accommodating and made me feel beautiful. Before, I had always been told by hairdressers that I needed to wear my hair straight to look better, but Lory was so caring and quickly jumped to the task with no issue and clear plan. I could not be happier with the results. All the bridesmaids loved their hair as well.

    I highly recommend her services.

    Makeup By Lory Rms's reply:

    Oh thank you so much for such sweet words Vanessa! ❤ It is my number 1 priority to make sure my Brides look and feel beautiful on the most important day of their lives! Your hair looked amazing in its natural texture! I wish you love happiness and many blessings on this new journey!

    Nemesis M. - Bride Hair and Makeup - Oct 23rd, 2021

    Lory is amazing at what she does. She reviewed with me in a timely manner what kind of hair and makeup I wanted and she MORE than delivered. I'm more of an eccentric bride and had fantasy color hair and wanted dramatic makeup, but she also works very beautifully with natural and soft looks.

    My makeup and hairstyle turned out absolutely amazing (It's got 800+ likes on a fantasy hair color group on Facebook). Lory expressed to me that she does not like to change dramatically the face when she does makeup, but that she likes to do makeup in such a way that the person feels and looks completely comfortable with herself and she performs this flawlessly. She is a very interesting person to talk to, and we just gabbed the time away for most of the time that she was working on my face and hair. In the end, she gave me a little touchup kit, which included a nice mirror, eyelash glue, oil-absorbing blotting papers, some extra lipstick, and a wipe to remove makeup. It was a great experience and I would 1000% work with her again and recommend her to others. Thank you Lory, my experience with you was absolutely amazing! :)

    Thank you so much for your words my beautiful Nemesis! It was lovely meeting you! I had a great time getting you ready for your special day! I wish you many blessings on this journey! Xo, Lory

    Beautiful Experience

    Lory and her assistant did my hair and makeup for me and my friends/family at my recent wedding. She was a pleasure and true professional to work with. She asked for looks before the big day so she could get an idea of what everyone wanted. She was also flexible and was able to add a few services for my friends the day of. Everyone looked beautiful and our hair held up well in the summer PR humidity :). I am lucky to have been referred to her.

    Absolutely perfect

    Lory did an amazing job with hair and makeup for me, three bridesmaids, and my mother - everyone looked stunning for the wedding! Lory was very easy to communicate with before the event and she is super professional. I did a trial with Lory and I’m really glad I did because we had time to talk about the look I wanted, as well as try out a few options for makeup. She recreated my look exactly the day of, and my hair and makeup stayed perfectly in place the whole night. My hair and makeup turned out even better than I had imagined possible. I would definitely recommend Lory and am so thankful for her amazing work!

    Look no further for your hai/make-up team!!

    Lory provided hair and make-up for myself (bride) and my crew of 12!
    She and her team were MAGICIANS! My grandmother said she thought they took 20 years off her! The make-up was tailored to each individual person, and they all looked incredible. She made my mom look like a queen, and I felt like a pretty pretty princess! And not to mention how meticulous Lory is with her brides.
    If you are able to do a trial, DO IT! Lory took copious notes about each and every step, and even had me report back on how different products held up!
    It was a torrential down pour during our wedding (which was in a semi-outdoor venue) and I cried ALOT during the ceremony, and my makeup held up the whole night with zero touch up!

    Seriously, if you are getting married, or just need to look your best for something, hire Lory!

    Makeup By Lory Rms's reply:

    Oh my goodness Lindsay! Your words make my heart so happy! I put passion and dedication into my Brides as all of them are SUPER important to me! I loved your grandmother's sense of humor! She's amazing! Your mother looked stunning and you looked gorgeous!! Thank you for selecting me and my team for such a special occasion! I wish you many blessings!! Hugs!! ❤

    I really enjoyed working with Lory and her team. They were punctual, professional and worked so well with my bridal party.

    Best and sweetest makeup artist!

    Lory is such an amazing makeup artist, and is also the kindest person! Lory did my makeup for our love story pictures and on the day of my wedding for myself, my maid of honor, and my brothers’s girlfriend. We all asked for completely different looks and she and her assistant nailed every single one, from the makeup to the hair. Not only that, but our makeup was able to withstand the Puerto Rican heat and humidity. Also, I cried so much during the ceremony I was worried after for the pictures, and when I asked my husband he confirmed my makeup was still perfect! Not only that, we had such a great time getting ready with them on the day. It was really fun and relaxing, we laughed a lot, and we were ready to go super ahead of schedule. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Absolutely Amazing

    If your having a destination wedding, it can be a very stressful thing trying to find a make up artist. Lory and her team were absolutely amazing! Lori is super professional, fun, and everything you want in a make up artist. We were able to bond and she felt like a part of my crew by the end of our time together.

    She was able to work with me to get a trail done and really took the time to adjust the looks so that they were perfect for everyone's skin and hair needs.

    Amazing and beautiful!

    Lory was accommodating to everything I asked! I did a make up trial first in March and she did half of my face. She wrote down everything she did so she had the information for my wedding day. She asked what exactly I liked based on the pictures I sent her so she had a good idea of what I was looking for. Then, on my wedding day she was so sweet and had an assistant help do my bridesmaids make up as well. I even asked, on the day of, if we could include my mom and that was no problem at all. Everyone's make up looked amazing that day and she adjusted to anything I needed or wanted!

    Thank you for your words Maegan! It was my pleasure to glam you and your bridal party up! You all looked beautiful! Blessings to you and your husband!

    A True Artist

    Working with Lory was a dream come true. I had some changes to my bridal party, and last minute I needed hair and makeup for 3 people. I reached out to Lory and in no time, we had a contract signed!

    Lory is so sweet, kind, calm, and professional which is exactly what I needed on my big day. She showed up right on time and set up all of her equipment like a true professional.

    As for the hair and makeup? I was blown away. My mother in law and bridesmaids looked gorgeous. They shared their hair and makeup inspiration pictures and Lory recreated it beautifully.

    I recommend her with my whole heart!

    Un sueño hecho realidad

Super profecional y responsable. No dudo ni un segundo en recomendarte...

    Perfect Choice!

    Lory was terrific! Loved my makeup and hair. After trying an updo at the trial I opted for wearing it down at the time of the wedding and she was so understanding and flexible. The makeup lasted all day, surviving a Noon wedding, a photo shoot in old San Juan mid day in hot temps, and a reception that didn't start until 7pm! She is kind, fun and has a true eye for what suits your complexion, eye shape and bone structure. An artist indeed! I wish I had pictures to post to show what I mean! Love her and her assistant! Top notch!

    Oh Beth! Thank you so much for your kind words! I appreciate you choosing me to be a part of your special day! You and your bridal party looked stunning!! I wish you and your husband many blessings! Lory.

    Perfection!

    From day one Lory was amazing! She responded to her emails quickly, the trial was great and the big day was even better! She made everyone super comfortable, like we were just hanging with the girls. I'm so happy she was apart of this day and I wouldn't have changed a thing. Definitely recommend!

    Thank you Porsha!! I loved working with you and your Bridal party!! Everyone from Grandma to the bridesmaids were lovely and so much fun!! I wish you and your husband many many Blessings love! Hugs!!

    Mi experiencia fue excelente. Le comenté que quería ser una novia diferente y trabajó de acuerdo a mi solicitud. Mi maquillaje duró toda la noche, se ve perfecto en cada foto. Además, mi madre, tía y cuñada también fueron sus clientas. Todas quedamos hermosas.

    I contracted Lory to do hair and makeup for myself (bride) and my wedding party! She was thorough in asking all the right questions about what skin type, what makeup style and hairstyle we wanted. The day of the wedding, she showed up early with an assistant, and was able to get all of our hair and makeup done early!

    We all looked amazing and I was so pleased with the final look. She is a wonderful person to work with!

    Thank you for your kind words Steph! You and your Bridal Party were a delight to work with! Kind Regards! Lory xx.

    Lory realizo el peinado y maquillaje de mi boda. Fue exactamente como lo soñé. La iglesia no tenia aire y a pesar de todo lo que sudé, el maquillaje estuvo intacto toda la boda y la recepción. Sus servicios son de excelencia y ella es super amable y te hace sentir comoda en un dia tan especial.

    Lory is amazing! Responsible, highly skilled, great time-management, and wonderful attitude. I hired her to do hair and makeup for my mom, best friends, and me (for my wedding). They all loved her work and so did I. I didn’t have to retouch or worry about my hair and makeup, it lasted through the night!

    Makeup By Lory Rms's reply:

    Thank you so much for your kind words, Sigrid you are too sweet! It was truly an honor to make you look even more beautiful than you already are darling!
