Lauren did a fabulous job on my make-up for my wedding. She currently works at Nordstrom in Freehold Mall and also freelances for events. My sister, a hairstylist, has worked with ...her on salon photo shoots and highly recommended her.
I got my make-up trial at Nordstrom from her. That way, I could buy some of the products (lip liner, lipstick, powder to cut down on oiliness/shine) that I would need the day of the wedding. She also does make-up trials at home. I loved her work, so we continued with the plan for her to do my wedding make-up.
She did my make-up, as well as the make-up for my mom, my 87-year old grandma, and five bridesmaids (8 women total). She came at 7 a.m. to my house to set up and started 7:30 a.m. She spent about a half hour on each girl and did touch-ups near the end as needed. It was $85/girl.
I was skeptical about the staying power of the make-up because my family and I are criers and I knew there would be many tears. However, my make-up did stay all day - through some tears and a lot of dancing. She also showed me how to use my products that I bought to touch up my lips and skin as needed but I only did that once (after the ceremony and before photos) and my make-up still looked great all evening.
I recommend her - she was convenient because she came to the house and did an amazing job. I looked natural in photos but glowing and gorgeous. Wish I knew had to do my make-up like that all the time!
