Love Laura! She did makeup for myself, 6 bridesmaids, and 2 mothers and every single one of us loved our makeup the day of my wedding! But not only did she do a great job on our makeup, she was just so fun to have around as we were getting ready. I'm recommending her to the bride of every future wedding I'm in just because I'd love to work with her again!!
Where do I start with Laura? Within one trial and one morning of my wedding she felt like a lifelong friend. Laura is super kind, easygoing, and down to earth. On top of that, she is a master of her craft. She takes exactly what you want and invisioned, and beautifully applies it to you! Also, when it comes to people like me who always second guess themselves, she assures you it will look amazing, and it does. I almost NEVER wear makeup, so when I saw myself in the mirror on my wedding day I liked it, but also felt like it may have been too much for me. Laura assured me it would all come together once my hair was done and my dress was on... boy was she right. I had so many compliments on my wedding day and above all, I felt like I looked more beautiful than I ever had imagined I would. Laura never covers up your natural beauty, she enhances and accentuates it. I have NEVER had a makeup artist I had loved more than Laura and her work, and I've had used several others in the past for trials and other weddings. HIGHLY recommend Laura.
We LOVED working with Laura for our wedding beauty services. Being two brides with a big bridal party seemed to be no challenge at all. From our first communication/signing the contract to trial day to the big day - Laura was on it. Patient and receptive to all of our changing wants for our bridal looks and a pleasure to have on site, would not hesitate to rec or work with again. We were both thrilled with the final results!
Laura was great to work with. She was calming and I appreciated her conservative timeline so nobody was rushing to get their makeup done. Laura did a great of enhancing everyone's natural beauty!
I had the BEST experience with Laura! For my trial she was great at understanding my makeup ideas and took the time to make sure I loved it. The whole time she was so fun to work with and made me and my bridesmaids look absolutely beautiful. My makeup lasted beautifully through the night! I couldn't recommend her more!
I could not have loved my makeup more! Lo was on time, attentive, so so prepared and created the look of my actual dreams. My maid of honor previously used these ladies and I took a chance and wow did it pay off. She is full of stories and fun but made sure that my makeup was perfection. Thank you so much again!!
Laura and her team are AMAZING. We had the most incredible time with Laura and Alyssa. My face stayed all day and my makeup was exactly what I asked for. She was able to make me feel so calm and really enjoy the process! I definitely recommend! You will not be disappointed!
Laura was amazing! She arrived on time, was very professional but made everyone feel super comfortable while sitting in her chair, asked questions about skin type and color preferences to personalize each look, and gave everyone a sample of their lip color to reapply throughout the night. From the consult to the makeup trial to the day of, everything went so smooth and we couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist for my big day! I'd recommend her to anyone!
5 stars! Laura made me feel very comfortable during my trial and my wedding. All of my girls looked drop dead gorgeous. My makeup was absolute perfection on my wedding day even though I decided to deviate from my trial inspiration. I cannot say enough good things from her background to her easy to get along with vibe. She truly outdid herself on my wedding day! I am so thankful that I was able to express my thoughts about changing my makeup inspiration. She was patient and encouraging and made sure that I was happy. highly recommend!
I still cannot believe how much I loved my wedding! After the constant re-arranging because of COVID, I lost most of my vendors and frustrated the rest. Laura got me booked last minute, was incredibly patient and helpful and I was completely IN LOVE with my makeup. Her hairstylist Leah was super talented and my hair stayed all night. Seriously. She is amazing, thoughtful and funny. Trust me. She is incredible. THANK YOU for everything!
I was blown away with Lo’s work!!! From the makeup trial to the wedding day I felt so beautiful! All my bridesmaids were so happy and loved how they looked. The makeup lasted all day and through many happy tears! She is incredible!
Like many, I've dreamt about my wedding day since I was young. Laura and her team exceeded all of my expectations for a day I had been looking forward to for years. I had never felt so beautiful as I did on that day and she also was just so fun and caring that morning! I felt so taken care of. Eric (husband) literally dropped jaw when I came down the aisle and I couldn't be happier. Thank you so much Laura!! You do amazing!
With everything going on with COVID-19, it was a blessing to come across a make-up artist who was so incredibly easy to work with and catered so actively towards our needs. Laura was flexible with scheduling a trial and on the big day, she was an absolute blast. Me, my bridesmaids and my mother had so much fun with her that morning! And above all of that - I felt so beautiful! We all looked so incredible while not feeling like we were made to look like someone else. Laura is an incredible artist and all around person. Five stars just doesn't seem like enough!
Laura did an amazing job on my bridal make-up and on the rest of the bridal party. And without any bridal trial! I even off-roaded a bit and decided to do glitter on my eyes (vs something more simple and subtle) and she made it look so classy and stunning.
Laura and her assistant (who did hair) made all of my girls comfortable and look stunning - from my bridesmaids, to my mother and my mother-in-law. Truly couldn't have asked for a better make-up artist. Her pictures on the storefront don't do her work justice! And her pictures are beautiful.
Laura was extremely professional, on-time and went above and beyond to serve us on my wedding day. We were all blown away when she gave us "survival packs" after our make-up consultations: some bobby pins, a sample of the lipstick she used for last-minute touch ups and other goodies. Such a cute, useful added touch. I would highly recommend Laura and team. Such a pleasure to have her partner with me on my big day.
my makeup was FLAWLESS (and i’m particular!) and Laura has the best stories!!
I absolutely loved my makeup! Laura and her assistant were amazing, kept us on time and made all of my bridesmaids and my mom feel so beautiful! I’m so happy and can’t wait for the final pictures!
I will be recommending Laura to any and all of my friends who are looking for makeup services. This was a same-sex wedding where my (now) wife and I both needed our makeup done along with the women in our wedding party. I was worried that we'd have to hire two different artists but Laura had it all under control. She made sure that we were able to have our individual "getting ready" time while handling the volume of two different parties without an issue. We both felt so beautiful. In addition to being a total professional, Laura was also just so much fun. I wish her nothing but the best for her business!!
Laura (Lo) was everything I could have asked for and more. I had almost my entire wedding planned a year in advance but couldn't seem to land on a makeup artist that I loved. Before I knew it, my wedding was three months away and I still didn't have one set. One of my bridesmaids had recently been in another wedding Lo did and spoke so highly of her. It was an instant match at my trial. She exceeded all of my expectations and made the process so easy and fun, which was so appreciated on my big day. I can't recommend LG Makeup Artistry enough!!
Laura has done my makeup for my bridal shower, engagement photos and my wedding. Every experience has been amazing! She went above and beyond to make sure I loved my makeup and that it was comfortable on my skin. She recommended skin care, has endless tips and tricks for before your wedding and my makeup did not budge to the point that even when I fell asleep in my makeup (oops) it was still on my face the next day! She makes you feel like family and I will use her for anything going forward!
The best wedding investment. Seriously. I was the most concerned about my makeup. Laura was positive, easy to talk to, talented, incredibly professional and took away all the makeup related stress! I have never felt more beautiful and the morning of my wedding day was so fun. I had amazing vendors but she was the best business I worked with hands down. She is an amazing makeup artist and a truly awesome person. Thank you so so much Laura!
Laura was INCREDIBLE! I couldn't have asked for a better makeup artist. Ive never gotten my makeup done before and she made it so easy and fun! I got so many compliments on my makeup and it lasted all night. I definitely recommend!!
Laura is a SUPER STAR! I was bitten by bed bugs ON MY FACE on our way home for our wedding and she made the bites virtually disappear!! She also is incredibly professional, funny, and man is she talented. I can’t recommend her enough.
Amazing! Laura gave me everything I could have hoped for! My makeup was natural, and felt light on my skin. I got so many compliments and felt so beautiful on my big day. Laura is a true professional and I can't recommend her enough!
Laura was the perfect makeup artist! She listened to all of my preferences and worked with me until it was exactly what I wanted. I could not have asked for a better experience! Thank you!
So sweet, so professional, so beautiful. Can’t recommend her enough!!!
Laura was an amazing makeup artist. She was able to fit my wedding in last minute and did a great job. She was extremely professional and truly cared that I was 100% happy with the final look. She was flexible and we tried a various looks until we found the right one. I highly recommend her!
I will send every bride I know the recommendation to use Laura! She is so fun and talented. Her attention to detail is perfect. From giving my niece (flowergirl) lip-gloss to giving everyone a personalized touch-up kit, she made everyone feel so special. My family is still talking about how wonderful she was and how amazing we all looked. I highly, highly recommend LG Makeup Artistry!
Laura was the perfect choice! She intently listened to all of my ideas and she did an amazing job, especially with my mom! She truly made her feel confident and that was one of the highlights of my wedding. I couldn’t have been happier, we all loved how our makeup came out. Thank you!
Laura was so amazing the day of my friends wedding. She got to the hotel early, which was great considering the wedding was in RI and she was traveling from CT. Also, after she finished with our makeup she had little bags for each of us with some blotting sheets and lipstick pots with the colors we chose to wear. The weather wasn't great on the wedding day so the blotting sheets really came in handy. And who isnt going to need to reapply lipstick at some point. All of our makeup looked beautiful though and lasted the night through rain and tons of dancing!
After a very bad makeup trial with a different artist, I had given up and decided to do my own makeup. My sister, though, strongly recommended Laura and I am so glad I gave her a try. Laura’s makeup is flawless, she is a natural at putting everyone around her at ease and she really listened to me and my bridal party. I was married during the July heat wave – outside – and my makeup was fantastic the entire day! Me & my bridesmaids aren’t normally makeup people & were nervous about looking too ‘done up’ but the makeup looked natural and each of us were incredibly pleased with our look. I would recommend her to anyone!
LG Makeup Artistry did all of the makeup for my wedding. Laura was great – very professional and amazing with her work. She did my makeup, six bridesmaids, my mother and my mother-in-law and a little something for our flower girl. She brought an assistant with her who was also great and professional. From the very first inquiry email with this company, things went so smoothly. With how busy I was trying to coordinate a 200 person wedding, it was such a relief, and treat, to know that this aspect was taken care of. I arranged a trial with Laura which we scheduled right before my wedding shower which worked out great. She worked with me to find a look I loved for my big day but then changed it up a bit so I wasn’t wearing the same makeup for my shower. I had heard about Laura and LG Makeup Artistry from a friend who used her for her wedding a year ago and it was such a great suggestion. Laura really listened and worked with me for my big day. I personally do not know much about makeup, I don’t usually wear any, but she took my ideas and used her expertise to make it into a reality. My entire bridal party enjoyed her just as much as I did and she was just so fun to work with. Laura’s work is worth every penny and after getting our wedding photos a few days ago, I say that even more so. Laura gave me some piece of mind during such a stressful part of my life. I couldn’t be more grateful for her work and her help. Thank you!
Laura did my makeup last minute for my engagement shoot when my first artist backed out. I was unsure if I wanted anyone to do my makeup on my wedding day after having the stress of someone cancelling on me. The minute I sat down I was confident I had found the right artist. Laura listened to all of my concerns and was easily able to help me articulate what I wanted my makeup to look like. She did a PERFECT job. I got endless compliments on my engagement photos and I am now excited and confident for my makeup on my upcoming wedding day!
Laura was so incredibly fun to work with! Not only did she make me feel insanely beautiful and not want to wash my face, but she felt more like a sister than a vendor. On the day of I was a complete nervous wreck. She was bright, funny, helpful and overall had the most positive attitude that really set the tone for the whole day. Everything that has already been said and more. If you are looking for a talent and someone that makes you feel like family. look no further. Highly recommend!!!
Laura is fantastic! I cannot day enough great things about her!! I needed to change my wedding look last minute and she made it work and I loved everything about it!! Thank you so much Laura for making me look beautiful and making me feel like a real Disney princess m on my wedding day!
Laura is amazing! I can not thank her enough! Her fun energy brought excitement and calmed my nerves while we got through a morning of anxiety. She easily managed myself, my five bridesmaids and my mom and stayed on-time without rushing anyone the entire process. I am still in awe of how perfect my makeup was! From start to finish I couldn't have asked for a better beauty team! Thank you so much Laura!
Laura did an amazing job doing makeup for me and my mom on my wedding day. She helped me stay calm and relaxed before walking down the isle by being easy to talk to and making me laugh. She was very professional and listened to my ideas for what I wanted on my big day. The techniques she used kept me looking at my best the whole day, from walking down the isle to dancing the night away. Thank you Laura!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Laura and her work! I was planning my wedding from DC and the stress of working with vendors over the phone was enough to drive me crazy! From the first conversation she made me feel at ease and completely comfortable. I have never had my makeup done before and it was the biggest worry I had about my wedding. I sent her my Pinterest page and she talked through every detail of each of the looks with me while asking what I liked and what I didn’t like. She worked with my incredibly hectic schedule after I arrived in town and did a last minute trial to put me at ease and ensure that my makeup was perfect! Save yourself the headache and book Laura!! She talked down my MIL from the same bright pink lipstick I was wearing that was a special statement color for me, helped fix a flower girls hair that got messed up, and even had a spare safety pin to pin a zipper closed after my maid of honor broke her zipper! Talented, professional, calm and prepared for everything! My cousin just set up her engagement shoot makeup and I recommend her to everyone I know. Thank you so much for everything!!!
Excellent choice of makeup and colors! She makes my face look like a model! Her makeup looks great on and is long lasting through all pictures into the night. Thank you!
I sought out Laura’s services on the recommendation of a friend for my wedding and to this day it was the best move I made for my wedding! Incredibly professional, charismatic, and fun. She helped what would normally be a very stressful morning feel calm and on schedule. She did my makeup along with my bridesmaids, mom and flower girl and we looked like we came out of a fairytale. My (now) husband loved that I still looked like me but even more special. Her work showed up incredibly in our photos as well. It was a pretty hot day and we opted for touch-up services to help with that and Laura was superb. She was always close by but also made sure no one felt too crowded. My soon-to-be sister-in-law has her wedding booked with her this coming summer and she just did my best friends. Our whole family has an immediate go-to for makeup services and that is LG Makeup Artistry. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making our day as perfect as t was!!
