Laura is amazing at what she does!

Laura is amazing at what she does! She was professional and very friendly to work with. During the trial, she asked a lot of questions about my skin type and what makeup products I already use. Being someone who barely puts on anything anyway, I was looking for something natural but still wanted to feel beautiful. And that's exactly how I felt on the day :):) She also gave me advice on what products to buy/use during the day for touch-ups. My mum, niece, and a friend got their makeup done by her too. All of them were happy with the result and all got many compliments during the day. I'm so happy Laura got to be a part of this experience and so thankful that she was friendly all the way through. Definitely recommend her for any future bride and party!

Happy Bridesmaid then Happy Bride

I first met Laura on my sister's wedding day and she did such an amazing job that I had to book her for my wedding the following year.
And the best part of all, she actually managed to calm my mum down enough so she could make her eyes pop and actually look like she's wearing some makeup.
Laura is so friendly and easy to get on with, joining in on all the wedding day morning laughs and making the prep relaxing and enjoyable.
She listened to everything the Bride, bridesmaids and MOTB wanted and liked for their makeup and hair and I couldn't recommend her enough.

Super talent and professional

From the moment I contacted Laura about hair and makeup for my wedding, I knew she was the right person for the job. She made me feel at ease and gave me great advice and tips to achieve the look I wanted for my bridesmaids and I. She was professional and informative and the result was amazing. I felt like a true princess walking down the aisle to my hubby and have recommended her to several friends looking for makeup and/or hair for their weddings. Thank you Laura for making my wedding day stress free and special.

Mrs Duffin

Laura made me feel at ease the minute I met her. I wanted a subtle, natural look where I looked like me. Laura accentuated my features and I felt and looked amazing on my special day.
I highly recommend Laura and cannot wait to use her for my next special occasion.

Really pretty bridal make-up and hair

Laura did both my bridal make-up and hair for my wedding. She also did my mother's make-up and one of my bridesmaids make-up. From our first meeting, she made me feel so comfortable and explained the process of a trial session versus doing the make up on the actual day. I really liked the trial make-up but wanted to make some changes to my hair and eye make-up on the actual day and Laura was so accommodating. I wanted a simple, classic look and I got so many compliments. My hair and make-up both stayed in place all day and looked so fresh and natural in the photos. Laura also made my 78-year-old mother and sister (who aren't the type of people to have their make-up done) feel so comfortable. Thank you, Laura!!

Amazing hair!

Laura was absolutely fantastic, she came recommended to me via our photographer and was responsive, flexible and so professional from the very first interaction. Laura did my hair as a bride and my three bridesmaid’s hair and we were all so happy with how our hair looked!
Laura was also a great person to have around in the morning and was chatty and helped us all feel comfortable as we were getting ready. I would recommend her for any bride!

Lovely natural look

From the trial to the day itself Laura made me feel at ease and took the time to get to know me. Neither myself nor my bridesmaids wear a lot of make-up normally and Laura kept us true to our natural selves whilst also making us feel special.

Laura provided a wonderful service from start to finish . From the first initial enquiry email to the big day . In the makeup trial laura really listened to what I wanted , 1920’s look with a red lippy and she did exactly that . My makeup was perfect and was a really hot day not a smudge . Her cool calm energy really helped me on the day to relax and enjoy it . Cannot recommend laura enough 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Wedding make up

Laura made me feel so comfortable when doing my wedding make up. During the trial, we discussed/tried different looks that would compliment my dress and the feel of the day. She was very flexible whenever I would express a preference. On the big day it was like having a friend there who happened to do make up!!! Thanks so much Laura xx
