Lara James Make Up

Lara was the best make up artist! From responding to any queries I had in a calm and professional manner to delivering on the big day! Being quite the “Tom boy”, I had no idea when it came to make up, so my sister arranged a make up artist for me, who then cancelled out of the blue. A colleague of mine was recently married and recommended Lara to me who she used for her wedding, when I contacted, Lara was very understanding of the situation and everything moved forward so seamlessly! We did a make up trial which was only meant to be an hour and a half, but we chatted and laughed the whole time and she made me feel so comfortable in asking questions or to make changes to make me feel comfortable in my own skin. With having little to no make up knowledge, Lara didn’t make me feel silly at all and explained each process, even providing some insight which she felt would suit me and we went with it, going back doing changes until I was happy! Forever grateful for the experience and patience.
Onto the big day, Lara arrived ahead of schedule to set up and made her acquaintance with the rest of the bridal party, it was so seamless throughout and provided any touch ups needed, she waited until the end to provide a small touch up for lips for the bridal party to use throughout the day!
The pricing was absolutely spot on, if anything, Lara needs to charge more for her services! The make up lasted all day and night, even through my many many tears! As someone with a much warmer complexion and on the browner side, the make up was matched perfectly.
I would love to have my make up done again by Lara even just for fun! She made me feel so beautiful and natural in my own skin, 11/10!
Thank you so much Lara, you was (and are!) amazing!

Lara was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. She was so warm, calming and welcoming on the morning of the wedding, and immediately made the whole getting-ready experience feel relaxed and easy.

She was also incredibly responsive and easy to deal with throughout the whole process, which made everything feel straightforward from the initial booking right through to the wedding day.

I absolutely loved my makeup and felt completely like myself, just the best version of me. It lasted beautifully throughout the day and photographed so well.

More than anything, Lara was just such a lovely person to have there on the morning. She helped create such a calm atmosphere and made the whole experience feel special rather than stressful.

I would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a talented, kind and reassuring makeup artist for their wedding day.

Ive never had my make up professionally done so this was a first, Lara made me feel so at ease and able to express if i wasnt keen on something which she would happily change untill it was perfect for me.
On the wedding day Lara was amazing she did my mums make up she looked stunning! Lara also offered to stay and help out with anything incuding helping me put my dress on.
She brang her own seat for me to sit on with her own lighting i felt like a celeb 😍.
A lovely lady who is very down to earth, easy to talk to and a joy to have around.
My make up was beautiful and i felt like a princess for the day!
Thank you so much Lara!!! ♥️♥️

I was recommended Lara by a bridal boutique who had worked with Lara before on their own advertising bridal shoots. Lara was super friendly and professional, has a vast range of make up brands and colours. The trial was really good as I was able to try a couple of different colours until I found what I was looking for (wedding makeup). Lara was super quick with communication. Thank you so much!

I was recommended Lara through a Wedding Facebook Group and I was so happy to have gone through with using Lara as my Make Up Artist for my Wedding back in April. With arranging everything so far in advance I was able to arrange a make up trial that fit with my travel schedule as I no longer lived in the area anymore and everything was just so chilled, both in the trial and on the big day. Being so fair skinned and having almost invisible eyebrows from being blonde I was initially worried but Lara was able to make everything still look so natural just how I wanted not being a make-up wearer, almost as if I wasn't wearing any in the first place.

Make up didn't feel heavy in the slightest and I had so many compliments throughout the day. Lara is super friendly and I would honestly recommend her for anyone planning their wedding. She gave me a little top up kit, which I didn't even end up needing, a true test of the quality of makeup.

Absolutely fabulous from start to finish. Lara is professional, friendly, listened to what I wanted and advised me when I needed it. She used quality brands and gave me a little pot of the lipstick I wore on my wedding day so I could reapply throughout the day. She really made my day special and spent time on mine and my bridal party’s makeup to ensure everything was spot on. I can’t possibly recommend her enough!

Absolutely lovely.
Lara was able to reassure me when I needed it and made me look amazing! And yet still me!

Highly recommend Lara for your wedding make up needs. From the beginning Lara was quick to respond and arrange an initial trial. I am a person who wears very minimal make up day to day and my main priority was to look as natural as I could but feel amazing. Lara listened to me but also guided me with types of make up I needed. She was also very accommodating to other members of the bridal party. On the day Lara was part of the joy and made sure I looked great and was happy with everything before leaving. She arrived on time and embraced the chaos in the house. Lara also prepared a little top up kit for my bag with some lipstick and buds to keep my make up in place all day. Thank you so much Lara- I felt amazing!

From the moment I met Lara I knew she was going to be fantastic! A kind lady who is every inch the professional, she made me feel so beautiful!

Im so thankful I found Lara on hitched , she made me feel special from the first time we meet on my trail , I would say everyone needs a Lara , she me feel calm and relaxed on my special day , would highly recommend Lara , I’m so glad we meet , Lara could tell when I was getting nervous and preferred with beautiful lavender air mist to calm me and my party down , Lara thinks of the tiniest details, I was given a little organza bag with the shade of my lipstick for touch up , a blotting pad if it got to hot to dab my make .
Lara uses high quality make up , which made your skin feel beautiful, as if you was not wearing make up .please do not hesitate to book lara

Lara was wonderful during my wedding make up trial and wedding day, I cannot thank her enough. She made me feel at ease and absolutely stunning on my day. Thank you, Lara!

I would highly recommend Lara. For someone who doesn't wear much make up Lara listened to what I wanted, nothing too heavy and subtle and that's what I got. We had a trial which gave me an idea of overall look as I was rather clueless. On the day she did both mine and my daughter's make up (bridesmaid) and we were very happy with the result! Thank you Lara!

Forever grateful to Ms. Lara for making us look and feel our absolute best on the big day! From my bridal glam to my Maid of Honor’s radiant look, her artistry and calming touch brought everything together beautifully. Thank you for helping us glow with love, elegance, and joy 💄💕 #WeddingMakeup #BridalBeauty #GratefulHeart

I booked Lara James in for my Wedding makeup. From the very beginning Lara James was quick at responding and upon meeting her she was so lovely and professional and put me and my Mum at ease straight away, my Mum doesnt usually like to get her makeup done, but was so pleased with her. I would definitely recommend Lara James.

Lara made me special day even more special. She was patient and professional throughout the whole process. Knowing that I was in good hands and that I did not have to worry about my make up made the whole process so much more relaxing. I genuinely cannot recommend Lara enough. Thank you Lara
