FREQUENTLY Asked Question

1. How far in advance should I book my bridal makeup?

It's recommended to book your bridal makeup at least 6-12 months in advance to ensure availability, especially during peak wedding seasons. This also allows time for a trial session to perfect your look.

2. Do you offer makeup trials before the event?

Yes, I highly recommend scheduling a makeup trial before any special event (i.e. a wedding). This helps me understand your preferences and allows you to see the final look, ensuring you're completely satisfied on the big day.

3. What types of makeup products do you use?

I use high-quality, professional-grade makeup products that are long-lasting, suitable for all skin types, and safe for sensitive skin. I tailor product choices based on your skin's needs and the occasion. A majority of the products that I use are Black women owned brands as well.

4. Can you accommodate large bridal parties or group bookings?

Yes, I offer makeup services for bridal parties and group bookings. Depending on the size of your group, I can arrange additional artists to ensure everyone is ready on time with stunning results.

Testimonials

I’m not someone who usually wears a lot of makeup and I had Lauren do a natural/soft glam look for my baby shower since I’d be taking pictures. The completed look was what I would consider ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!! Lauren’s execution was exactly what I had asked for. I got my makeup done the morning of the shower and literally didn’t want to wash the makeup off by the end of the night because it was stunning and had received soooo many compliments. Not to mention she’s personable so the overall experience was BOMB! Lauren’s officially my new favorite make-up artist when I have to attend any upcoming events.

– Yinka

Amazing is an understatement to Lauren's skills, work ethics and personality. I do not wear makeup often but wanted to look a bit more polished for an event I was attending. I selected the travel option and Lauren was right on time (aka early!). She provided great skin care tips and gave me a beat unlike no other. My makeup was flawless yet not over the top which was just what I asked for. I loved it so much, I was tempted to sleep in my makeup. I'm looking forward to recommending this sweet gem to everyone I know. Can't wait to book her again!
