m look that accentuated all of my features but still made me feel like "me." I have never felt more confident and beautiful, and I absolutely love how I look in all of my wedding photos because of her.

Lauryn!!! She’s an AMAZING makeup artist!! So so talented at her craft! After working with Lauryn for my wedding day makeup, I have zero regrets! To start, Lauryn made me feel co...
ol, calm and collected the morning of on my wedding day. As a very type A and easily stressed girlie, the moment I sat in Lauryn’s chair all those wedding day nerves and anxiety went away! One thing that stood out for me about Lauryn was she always made sure I felt great and asked me how I was doing/feeling multiple times while doing my makeup. That went a long way for me! You can tell Lauryn truly cares about her clients and I definitely didn’t feel like just another number! Now onto the makeup… my face was FLAWLESS!!! To really say the least. I felt SO beautiful and confident! My makeup lasted all night long and didn’t budge, even when I was dancing all night long. My face looked amazing in all of my photos and I was truly obsessed with my look! Long story short… Lauryn is AHHMAYZINGGGG! Look no further for the BEST makeup artist around! She truly is an expert and will make you feel awesome on your big day!!!! 100000/10 highly recommend her and will use Lauryn again for future occasions! Thanks so much Lauryn ❤️❤️❤️
Lauryn is THAT girl. From the very beginning, I knew I was in elite hands, and she absolutely delivered. She understood my vision immediately and somehow made me look like the most...
elevated, confident version of myself without ever feeling overdone.
My makeup was flawless, photographed beautifully, and stayed put all day and night (through happy tears, dancing, and everything in between). I still felt like me, just elevated, confident, and glowing. She also brought such calm, fun energy to the morning which made the entire getting-ready experience even better for myself and my bridesmaids!
If you’re looking for someone who is insanely talented, professional, and makes you feel your absolute best on your wedding day... I couldn’t recommend her more 🤍✨
Lauryn is an absolute artist. I’ve had my makeup professionally done in the past but never quite felt like myself. That wasn’t the case with Lauryn. She listened to what I wanted a...
nd was thoughtful and detailed with her work. Starting with my trial and on my wedding day, I felt absolutely beautiful! She did the makeup for my entire wedding party, including bridesmaids, mom and mother-in-law and everyone was so impressed. I had multiple girls tell me on separate occasions that this was their favorite makeup they’ve ever had, and I couldn’t agree more! If you’re looking for a true makeup artist who is professional, detailed, kind and fun to be around, I would highly recommend Lauryn!
Lauryn is passionate, detailed, and SO talented! As a Wedding Planner I definitely recommend her. Photos from a styled shoot are by Truly Living Photography
I can’t thank Lauryn enough for the absolutely incredible job she did on my wedding day. From the moment she arrived, she was calm, collected, and so professional. Her presence ins...
tantly made me feel relaxed and confident that I was in the best hands. She came fully prepared with everything needed and more, and her organization made the whole getting-ready process smooth and stress-free.
The makeup was flawless — elegant, timeless, and exactly what I had envisioned. I have never felt more beautiful in my life, and it’s all thanks to Lauryn’s talent, attention to detail, and genuine passion for her work. My makeup stayed perfect all day and night, through happy tears, laughter, and dancing.
Thank you, Lauryn, for making me feel like the most beautiful version of myself on such a special day. You are truly amazing at what you do, and I’m beyond grateful to have had you by my side.
Highly recommend Lauryn to any bride looking for a makeup artist who will exceed every expectation.
I will forever recommend Lauryn!! Her work was unlike any other! I felt absolutely gorgeous, and all my girls looked stunning! She was so great to work with and has the kindest sou...
l! She is seriously the best!!
Don’t wait to book Lauryn for your wedding makeup! Lauryn was the very first wedding vendor I booked after securing our date and I feel so lucky I had the opportunity to work with ...
her. Lauryn did my makeup for my engagement photos, bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, and wedding day. I had a hard time articulating exactly what I wanted for my makeup and Lauryn nailed my vision every time! My makeup was flawless for every event and it stayed in place all day to the point I was sad to take it off at the end of the night.
Lauryn is so sweet and incredibly passionate about her work. I felt so at ease on my wedding day knowing everyone’s makeup would be perfect. All of my girls and the moms looked beautiful. She was so thoughtful and patient with everyone’s makeup requests.
Thanks to Lauryn I felt so beautiful and confident for so many special life events! She’s absolutely incredible! Now go submit your inquiry before it’s too late!
Brides, look no further!! Lauryn is truly the best of the best in the industry. She far exceeded my bridal makeup expectations and made me feel prettier than I ever have in my life...
! My bridesmaids and mom all looked flawless, and everyone's makeup stayed fresh all night long. I’ve worked with multiple talented Chicagoland makeup artists in the past as a bridesmaid, and while I’ve always been satisfied with their work, I can tell Lauryn’s skillset is top-notch.
I was hesitant walking into my trial at first because I wasn't sure exactly what sort of look I wanted to go with, but Lauryn immediately put me at ease as she confidently guided me through my thoughts and decisions without overwhelming me with too many questions or choices. I really love that she runs her trials solo and in a casual, personal setting (just Lauryn and the bride, no guests) because it shows how much she cares about YOU and how YOU(!!) feel without being influenced by your environment or others’ opinions/preferences.
Lauryn was communicative and organized throughout the whole process from my initial booking inquiry to my wedding day and everything in between. All of my questions were always answered thoroughly and quickly. Lauryn always arrived on time and stayed on schedule. Her deadlines and service charges were fair and straightforward with no hidden fees/surprises which is so admirable and hard to find in today’s wedding industry.
Lauryn sets realistic expectations and gives honest advice/opinions as needed in the kindest, most gentle way. She is genuine and easygoing, both professionally and as a person. Her artistic talent truly shines in her work, and her good vibes are unmatched. If you want a makeup artist who is not only incredibly skilled but also kind, thoughtful, and passionate about her craft, Lauryn is the one!

Lauryn is absolutely incredible! Not only does she have such a sweet and calming presence, but truly she is so talented. I was blown away! To be honest I am pretty particular about...
my make up and she listened to everything I asked for and exceeded all of my expectations. She brought my look to a whole new level.
If this tells you anything about how talented she is, after my initial make up trial for my wedding, I went on a 5 mile hike after during the humid WI summer. My makeup did not budge! My husband even commented how incredible it looked all day. I received so many compliments and all of the ladies that got their makeup done for my wedding loved Lauryn and their looks. My mom wants lessons from her now! She made me feel so beautiful and confident. I am so thankful I found her and I cannot recommend her enough🤍
My husband and I got married in March 2024 in Milwaukee, WI.
Lauryn was one of the first vendors I secured after our venue and photographer. I was planning our wedding from out o...
f state and searched for a makeup artist on Instagram. After looking through several profiles and webistes, it was clear that Lauryn was standing out among the rest.
I sent her an email to confirm her availability and booked her as soon as she said our date was available! Lauryn was kind and responsive via email and text from the get go. This continued in person for my trial. She made me look and feel like myself but better for our engagment photos.
And she made me feel beautiful again on our wedding day along with all the other ladies getting ready that morning. She was calm and focused but friendly and funny too. All of us were happy with how our makeup looked in person and in photos. I would highly recommend Lauryn to anyone in the Milwaukee area looking to feel like the best version of yourself.
Thank you, Lauryn!
I booked Lauryn for my wedding makeup, and she was absolutely fantastic!!! She executed my vision to a T, and everyone in my bridal party was so happy with their makeup too. The ma...

I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day, thanks to Lauryn! She was even able to cover up an unwanted tattoo on my back. All of my bridesmaids were obsessed with t...

All of my bridesmaids loved their makeup and even my mom has not stopped talking about how much she loved her makeup on my wedding day. If you are a bride or have a photo shoot or special event, you need to book Lauryn! She is the best of the best!
Lauryn is so so talented and booking her for my wedding was such a good decision. I had a very small wedding which meant just my mother and I got our makeup done. Even though it wa...
s just the two of us, Lauryn was still willing and able to come to where were getting ready. I have never felt more beautiful than on my wedding day and I can fully credit Lauryn for that. I had a trial run before my wedding day and would definitely recommend. I was much less nervous on my actual day and Lauryn listened to the small tweaks I had for my actual wedding day. My makeup stayed put all day and my pictures looked great! My mom still talks about how much she loved the look that Lauryn did for both of us. Lauryn is great and I highly recommend her!
Thank you Lauryn for the beautiful wedding day glam! My makeup looked amazing throughout the whole day and night. I felt so beautiful and loved getting to work with Lauryn. She is ...

My bridesmaids all had gorgeous different looks that brought out their facial features and it lasted all day (even the lashes IYKYK lol). Would HIGHLY recommend her for all your makeup needs to feel gorgeous!!!
Lauryn created absolute stunning makeup for my wedding. She was timely, efficient, and made my entire party (which included me, 8 girls, and 2 moms) look absolutely beautiful. What...
I appreciate about her is she listens to what you want and will make you look 10 times better than you ever envisioned. She is truly the best in the business and I would hire her 10 times over. Everyone was raving about their make up and it stayed on despite tears and lots of sweat in the 90 degree heat!
Lauryn was a savior on my wedding day. I had done a trial that did not go well with a different artist, and she happened to still have my date available and booked without hesitati...
on. I did not have time to do a trial before my wedding, but I had no doubts with her services, everything was so professional and well communicated leading up to the wedding. Everyone looked AMAZING and she completed everything in a timey manner. We danced the night away and I still had makeup on 14+ hours later. 10/10 would recommend and do not wait because her schedule books up fast!
Lauryn was AMAZING for my big day. I have never felt more gorgeous in my life and she stayed on time the entire day which helped the day move along seamlessly! She is so personable...

Lauryn made all my wedding makeup dreams come true. Just the right amount of glam, and no makeup budge all night- a big deal for someone whose makeup usually melts off after a few ...
hours. You will seriously not regret working with her. We had a HUGE group for wedding glam- 12 faces total, and not a lot of time to work with. Despite this, Lauryn finished ahead of schedule, and everyone looked absolutely stunning- even our moms who wear little makeup on a regular basis looked and felt amazing. Her portfolio speaks for itself. If you’re looking for someone who knows what they’re doing, email her ASAP. Thank you Lauryn!

Everyone looked stunning for my wedding day, the makeup lasted from 7 am - 1 am the next day and all the ladies were so grateful. I would hire her 10 times over again! Thank you Lauryn for making me feel like the most beautiful bride!
First of all, Lauryn is amazing! She is such a calming presence and really listens to the makeup vision you are looking for. I completely changed what I wanted from my trial date ...
to the wedding and she absolutely crushed it. I also had a bridesmaid that requested to get her makeup done the day of and she squeezed it in without issue. I also love all of her instagram posts and how she constantly is pumping up and complimenting all of her brides/everyone who sits in her chair.
Absolutely blew my mind! Lauryn is everything you could ever need in a make up artist AND MORE. Whatever your expectations will be, she will exceed them. She is professional, alway...

If she is available on your wedding date, don’t hesitate to book her! Would definitely recommend to any brides searching for makeup artists!

l of my bridesmaids absolutely loved their makeup as well. While there's plenty of amazing things I can share about my experience with Lauryn, I'll focus on one thing that I think she deserves lots of credit for - her range! She gave me a super glowy look, while some of my bridesmaids got more of a glam look. I've seen her knock out all sorts of makeup styles, which is really impressive!
Lauryn was the absolute best, most professional, most talented, and the kindest soul to work with! My bridal party and I all felt our most beautiful on my special day, all thanks t...
o Lauryn's magic. She even arrived early on the day (~6:30am) to make sure that we would all be ready by noon. She worked so patiently with every single one of us! My make-up remained intact throughout the day/evening, even after my husband and I ran through the pouring rain for our grand entrance! Thank you, Lauryn, you are special <3

esh at the end of the night, even as I was a little bit of a sweaty, anxious mess about my big day going as planned! If you’re looking for a makeup artist for your wedding just stop looking and book Lauryn!! Was definitely one of the easiest choices for me :)
Lauryn is the absolute best. If I had to replan my wedding day, she is a vendor a would choose over and over and over again. She is so good about responding right away. She is PATI...
ENT - I was very worried about the morning running behind with having 14 people who needed makeup and after hearing other peoples horror stories I was very antsy about it, but Lauryn reassured me that everything would be fine & she was done AHEAD OF SCHEDULE!! How often does that happen?! Not to mention her patience with me when choosing lashes, she replaced lashes on me the morning of my wedding until they were exactly right!! Lauryn is a vendor you can trust 100%. But it’s not just her professionalism that makes her stand out, her talent puts her above & beyond. I have had a lot of bad experiences having my makeup done - most of the time having to fix something in the bathroom afterwards. But I felt so beautiful and confident after working with Lauryn and got so many compliments throughout the day. She really listens to what you want and has the knowledge and talent to make it come to life. Even my mom made a comment about how good she was - and my mom is not a makeup person and can be pretty picky about things. But even she felt confident throughout the day. If you’re like me and we’re struggling to find a makeup artist you could trust for your big day, look no further. Lauryn is the way to go!!!
Fantastic experience! Lauryn is super sweet & my make-up was exactly what I had hoped! I never did a true “trial” beforehand and she knocked it out of the park right off the bat. ...
My make-up lasted all night and then some! I got married outside in 90 degree sunshine and it didn’t alter one bit! I was receiving compliments all night. Will definitely be working with Lauryn on any next event!
If you want to look PERFECT and confident on your wedding day, book with Lauryn! Every interaction with Lauryn leading up to our wedding day was positive; she is quick to respond t...
o emails and questions and she takes the time to get to know you and what is important to you for your wedding day look. Our wedding fell on a 90 degree day with high humidity and not one of my bridesmaids nor myself needed a touch up. Lauryn is seriously the best in the business and has a talent of making everyone she meets look and feel like the best version of themself. I truly cannot recommend Lauryn enough; be sure to book with her before her schedule fills up!!
Lauryn is the BEST!!! I cannot say enough great things about her, she made everyone look and feel so beautiful, she was very punctual, and she uses the best of the best makeup. Yo...

I will attempt to explain how amazing Lauryn is and how grateful we are that we booked her for our wedding. For reference, we are from Florida and got married in Wisconsin. Lauryn ...
was quick to communicate with me via email when I reached out about getting mine and my 9 bridesmaid's makeup done. As we got closer to the day, she emailed me to schedule a bridal trial. I was little nervous since I've never gotten my makeup professionally done, but Lauryn made me feel right at home. She also listened to me vent about my wedding struggles during that trial, and I was very appreciative for that! My trial was absolutely flawless on the first try and I was able to show off her makeup to my now husband all evening. On the day of, Lauryn arrived before our entire group and was set up and ready to start. All of my girls loved their makeup and they all said that they've never felt prettier. I decided that I wanted something little different than my trial, and Lauryn of course nailed it. I looked absolutely perfect and it was thanks to her. She provided me with little touch up bag too just incase the makeup needed fixing. Not only did she make us all look perfect, but we were ready on time too! The makeup also lasted the entire day and night. Our entire group are big criers, and the makeup lasted through all of the crying and still looked beautiful. I can't say enough wonderful things about Lauryn. On top of being talented, she is really kind and that is becoming a rare thing these days. She will forever be my recommendation for makeup!! Book her and you will be looking fabulous all day!!
