I cannot recommend Lori enough for bridal makeup! From the very beginning, she was exceptionally professional and knowledgeable, and she truly understood the look I was going for — an enhanced natural look, nothing overly done. She made me feel like my most beautiful self.
What really blew me away was how well the makeup held up. Between the heat, the sweat, and happy tears, I never once had to worry about my makeup all evening. It looked just as fresh at the end of the night as it did when I first saw myself in the mirror.
I looked and felt beautiful on my wedding day, and I still love looking back at my photos from such a special day. Thank you, Lori, for making me feel like the best version of myself on one of the most important days of my life!
I was recommended to Lori by a few friends. I knew I wanted to hire someone who’s very experienced at doing weddings and someone who I can trust for myself as well as my bridesmaids.
Lori did not disappoint. She’s a true artist, the real deal. She not only made me look like the best I’ve ever looked but I felt so beautiful and confident that day.
Honestly her makeup looked flawless. Lori was confident, organized and had a calm demeanor that made my day run so smoothly. She’s so personable and warm and knows how to make you feel relaxed on such a stressful day. She assured me the makeup would last until I washed it off that night and she was right.
I found my forever makeup artist!
