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.

Lauren did an amazing job. Everyone in the bridal party was so happy the way there makeup came out even my mom who doesn’t wear makeup was really happy with how hers turned out. 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!
