About

An on-location airbrush makeup artist for over ten years, Laura's passion and talent as an expert airbrush artist has given her the ability to bring true beauty and life into every woman's face. Her flawless technique and professionalism is the best combination for a perfect bridal experience.


I have always had the gift of seeing a woman's natural beauty and highlighting it through the art of makeup. To me the face is my canvas which I can transform into beautiful works of art.

I had the opportunity to fine tune my art in many facets while working for Mario Tricoci Salon in Chicago. It was there that I was able to learn important techniques, work with amazing color palettes, and customize my own cosmetics for varying complexions. I was also able to work with hundreds of brides and bridal parties as well.

I spent several months working for the renowned cosmetic company Christian Dior as a freelance makeup artist. During this time in my career I was a primary makeup artist in several high profile fashions shows. I worked with designers such as Kenneth Cole, Betsy Johnson, and Calvin Klein.

Out of all my experience as a makeup artist, working with a bride on her special day has been the most rewarding. My goal is to make every bride I work with feel like royalty. My passion and talent has given me the ability to bring true beauty and life into every woman's face.

Laura was so amazing and I would highly recommend her to any bride or bridal party. Laura did a friends wedding makeup, who looked beautiful, so I decided to book Laura right away. She was responsive to all my questions and day if she arrived early. She made my bridal party and myself look so stunning- all of my bridesmaids were so so happy with how their makeup looked. The false eyelashes on each girl also really made a difference. My mom loved hers as well. Laura was great with tailoring the makeup to everyone's unique features and skin tones. Our makeup stayed all day and all evening, despite the long summer day. She was great to work with and I definitely would work with her again for other events.

If I could give Laura more than 5 stars I would. I set up a trial appointment months prior to the wedding and was pleasantly impressed with the results. I immediately booked Laura for day of services. She was on time and a trooper seeing as she had 8 or so ladies make-up to do. All make-up was done and early. I've never felt more beautiful once my make-up was complete, my bridal party was also extremely satisfied with their results as well. My make-up lasted all day and evening. I would highly recommend Laura for any of your make-up needs.
