Lauren is a make-up Goddess! I first came across her while having my make up done for a bridal party. She listened to all of my requests (I am so picky about my make up) and the results were FLAWLESS! It only took one time in her chair, and I was hooked! I use Lauren anytime I need my face to be on point! From weddings, to nights out with the girls, even my drivers license picture. Lauren understands my vision, and executes it perfectly, every 👏🏻 single 👏🏻 time 👏🏻. She does an amazing job of making sure you feel beautiful, but still look like yourself, and the make up is always

Lauren does absolutely amazing work! She did my bridal makeup for my wedding and also did all the bridesmaids, mother of the bride, and mother of the groom makeup. Everyone LOVED their makeup. My lovely husband decided to smash some cake in my face when we cut our cake and accidentally got it all over my eye. I was so nervous, but NO BLEMISHES happened when I wiped it away! LAUREN DESERVES the ULTIMATE AWARD for her amazing work!

She did a great job on the makeup for all the girls in a wedding I stood up in last year! I wanted to book her for my own wedding this year and reached out several times via her website, email and phone, but never received any response. I ended up giving up trying to contact her and went with someone else.

Lauren is amazing at what she does! She did my spray tan and makeup for my friends wedding this weekend. My skin was the perfect glow, and my makeup was flawless!! All the girls looked beautiful. Lauren has a gift for accentuating your natural beauty, and the makeup stayed on all night long (it actually looked untouched when I woke up the next morning!). I would 100% recommend using her for any makeup or spray tanning needs. Not only is Lauren very talented, but she's super sweet and easy to work with.

Lauren is such a sweet person and so easy to work with. She was recommended to me by my photographer for my September 2016 wedding and after a quick email she provided me with pricing and everything I needed to make a decision. She has competitive pricing and will come to you on your big day. After my trial I did tell her I was looking for a different style of makeup (more natural than glam) and she did not disappoint. My wedding makeup was perfect and my whole wedding party looked gorgeous. She also did my custom spray tan and it looked flawless. Her schedule is a bit hectic as you can imagine

I wish I could give Lauren a 10 star review,but I guess I'll have to settle for 5! Lauren was amazing on my wedding day. She was prompt, professional and made me look absolutely stunning. All 9 of my bridesmaids maids loved their makeup as well! My favorite part of my experience with Lauren was when I was finishing up my makeup and everyone seemed to forget I was there and in that moment she noticed I was getting nervous. She calmed me down and kept talking to me like we'd known each other for years. She's a great makeup artist and person! I can't wait to work with her again

Lauren did a great job on my wedding last May (I'm a very late reviewer). She tried a couple looks for my trial with me, and ultimately did a great job duplicating what we decided on for the actual day. She was also flexible with scheduling when I needed her too come earlier than expected that day (even though I was not her only bride that day, I had no attendants so it was just me). She is also very reasonably priced, and just a calm, laid back person to have around on what can be a stressful day.

This review is almost a year late but I still love how Lauren did my airbrush makeup for my wedding! Lauren made me feel very comfortable and even shared skincare tips before my wedding. My makeup stayed on the whole day and I loved my eye makeup. Lauren really knows how to accentuate your natural features and listens to what you want for your wedding day. Thank you, Lauren! You're the best!

I had never gotten a spray tan before and I was very nervous! I have to say that Lauren made me feel very comfortable durning the appointment. Not only did my spray tan look amazing, but it lasted so long! I would definitely use Lauren again and recommend her to anyone looking for an organic spray tan or makeup. She is absolutely the best! Thank you Lauren :)

Lauren did such an excellent job on mine and my wedding party's make up!! I had a semi destination wedding in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin and she drove all the way out even though I had a small wedding party. I really felt like Barbie when she was finished with me :) For anyone looking for someone to do a perfect job (and have great conversation), Lauren is your go-to girl. Not to mention, her pricing is great! Always a plus :)

If you are looking for a compassionate, customer-oriented individual to do your make-up, do NOT use Lauren. I feel compelled to tell my story as I feel her professionalism and care for other people is non-existent. I signed a contract with Lauren to do my make-up for my wedding. Three weeks before my wedding, I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and was to start chemo immediately. At this point my Fiance and I decided my health was more important and needed to cancel the wedding. When I informed Lauren of my medical diagnosis of Cancer and the need to cancel our wedding, Lauren informed me that

Lauren Lauren Lauren! Where do I begin!? This woman was introduced to me from a friend and previous bride, so with my wedding coming up I knew I had to have her! When I got in contact with Lauren about my upcoming big day and all the other events planned around it, she was eager to help me and my girls on many occasions getting glammed up! My first venture with her was her organic spray tan! She had come to my aunts house (how convenient and nice right!?) In the comfort of our home we both received a full body spray tan which Lauren educated us about the solution she was using and the maintenance

Lauren did a spray tan for me just before New Year's Eve. Going in a I was a little skeptical because I've had a spray tan done before by someone else, and I wasn't very pleased with the outcome, but since it was a very reasonable price I decided It couldn't hurt to be a little more tan for the New Year. To my surprise the tan came out amazing! I was the perfect color, not too dark but still bronze. Also there were no splotches, it went on very easily and evenly and didn't have a bad smell (my other experience reeked!) The tan also lasted for about 2 weeks or longer, as
