Truly flawless!

As someone who doesn’t rally wear makeup I was really nervous about finding my wedding “look”, whilst keeping things feeling natural.
Lauren was the perfect guide, during the trial we discussed and tried different products which I ordinarily would have been too nervous to try. The products Lauren uses are amazing as was her advice both of which I’ve carried on using when I do wear makeup!
Lauren’s communications both before the trail and wedding were clear making prep for myself and the girls really straightforward.
On the morning of the wedding Lauren really slotted into the laid back atmosphere while we were getting ready. She was amazingly accommodating while keeping everything running like clockwork, she is honestly a miracle worker as it’s the first time I’ve been on time for anything in my life.
I can’t recommend Lauren enough both my hair and makeup looked incredible all day even holding up in the wind. I was gutted to have to take it off, I felt and looked amazing.

Thank you so much Lauren for being such a calm and creative influence, organising a wedding can be so stressful but working with you was so easy and you really made me feel pampered.

Couldn’t have asked for a better makeup and hair artist!

Thank you so much for doing my wedding makeup! You were so patient with me through the many times I changed my mind and through several trials, I appreciated it so much :) I felt so beautiful and still like myself for the whole day, the makeup lasted beautifully and I didn’t want to take it off! Thank you so much for being chill during the morning of preparations, it calmed my nerves and gave me some much needed reflection time before the ceremony. Thanks again!

Lauren is an absolute star ⭐

Lauren is fantastic and you have to have her for your wedding for you and all your bridal party!
Lauren was an absolute star from start to finish and made the whole process so easy.
We did a hair and make up trial and I just knew I was in safe hands.
She’s a consummate pro at what she does, my make up was stunning and lasted all day, I honestly didn’t want to have to take it off at the end of the day.
Lauren is such a calming presence on what can be a pretty chaotic morning. She sorted me out with all the last minute finishing touches, helped with veil etc, and even set me up with some supplies to use throughout the day for any touch ups.
Lauren also did make up for my mum who was particularly nervous not having had make up done before, nor is used to wearing much normally. Lauren was so patient and did an absolutely beautiful job. I can’t say enough good things about Lauren - she’s simply a star and I’d thoroughly recommend her to anyone ❤️

100% recommend Lauren-ashleigh for your wedding day hair and make-up. She is talented, professional and friendly making you feel calm and beautiful.

Lauren-ashleigh did both my hair and make up for my wedding day in April 2024. From first emailing Lauren to the trial and to my wedding day Lauren was professional and friendly. All emails were responded to promptly and through having the trial I was able to share my thoughts on the make-up which we then tweaked for my wedding day. I absolutely loved both my hair and make-up on my wedding day and was so pleased that I choose one person to complete both. My wedding morning was very calm and relaxed which Lauren played a big part in and she stayed with me re-applying my lipstick just before I walked out of the bridal suite.
I was unable to get into the room to get ready until 9am and Lauren was so supportive and reassuring with this and got another make-up artist to do my bridesmaids makeup so that we were all ready in time. I felt beautiful and just like a bride on my wedding day thanks to Lauren and did not want to remove my make-up at the end of the day. I would 100% recommend Lauren-ashleigh for your hair and make-up on your wedding day as you will love it and feel incredible.

Simply the best!

What can I say about my amazing MUA, Lauren? From the moment she arrived on my wedding morning, she put me at ease with her calm, professional demeanor. She took such great care of me, perfecting both my hair and makeup with incredible attention to detail. I felt absolutely stunning, and the entire experience was so relaxing, thanks to her magic hands and soothing presence. Lauren really listened to what I wanted and delivered beyond my expectations. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to help me feel so confident and beautiful on my big day. Thank you so much, Lauren, for being such a wonderful part of my wedding morning—I’m incredibly lucky to have found you and thank you for taking such great care of my sisters, mum, and mother-in-law. They all looked absolutely beautiful, and you did an amazing job with their makeup as well!

Thank-you so much Lauren 💞

Lauren was such a dream participant on our day! She was so friendly at my trial, quickly putting me at ease, and her calming and relaxed attitude was a welcome addition to our crazy morning. Her techniques meant the makeup lasted all day and night, and I was sad to wash it off! She is professional, experienced, generous, and a breeze to work with and I would recommend her to anyone who wants to look and feel beautiful! Thank-you so much Lauren ❤️

Absolutely amazing!

I am so thankful I had Lauren for my wedding day! I do not really wear make-up at all and Lauren made sure I felt comfortable in my skin. She absolutely perfected my hair and make-up including my two maid of honours and my mum which all looked absolutely stunning! The pictures speak for themselves :)

Dreamy makeup artist! 🥰

Lauren was amazing! She did my hair and makeup, all 5 of my bridesmaids and my mum, and made what I expected to be a very hectic morning extremely relaxing! I decided to change my hair on the day last minute due to the hot weather, but was super happy with the result and had lots of compliments. Thank you Lauren for making me feel like a queen for the day! 🤍

Fantastic!

Lauren was fantastic!
As someone who doesn't really wear makeup I was really relying on her expertise and she absolutely delivered!
Most of my friends and family will tell you that I really struggle with self confidence so when I told them on my wedding day that I felt beautiful they almost fell over.
Would fully recommend Lauren and would book her again!

We also booked her second business (glitpi), a glitter bar for the evening which was an absolute hit and our guests haven't stopped raving about it.

Best decision ever!

I am so happy I chose Lauren-Ashleigh to be my hair and make up artist for my wedding. (28.12.2022) Lauren was wonderful in just knowing exactly what to do, I barely had to give any direction as she just seemed to know what look I was going for! Really friendly, super chatty and helped calmed some nerves. Thank you so much!

An amazing makeup artist!

I would highly recommend Lauren for any wedding or event! She was absolutely fantastic and it was lovely to have her calm, professional presence on the morning of my wedding.

Lauren was so helpful at the trial and having never had my makeup done before, she put me a ease straight away! I wanted a natural look but still looking bridal and Lauren hit this brief perfectly!

Lauren did myself, 3 bridesmaids and my mum on the morning of the wedding and even put a bit of lippy on my nan before we left the house! Thank you again, highly highly recommend!

Very happy!

I was so happy with my wedding hair and makeup! Lauren was very helpful, friendly and professional and open to playing round with my ideas and suggestions. The day I got married was very hot and I was amazed how Lauren miraculously managed to fix my hair and makeup so that it all stayed in place, even on such a sticky day, without making me feel like I was completely caked in makeup and hair-spray! I don’t know how she did it. Honestly, I was really happy and definitely recommend her work highly.

Bridal Party Make Up

Lauren did the make up for my wedding including my own, my bridesmaids and my mum. She was incredible from the initial meeting with me to test styles to the day itself, offering expert advice, a calm and friendly manner and working brilliantly with our hair stylist. I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough and if I could get married every day, I would choose her every time!!

I felt beautiful

Lauren was fantastic! She did the hair and makeup for me, my three bridesmaids, my mum and my husband’s mum. We all have very different looks and needs and she did all wonderfully. She was professional, kind, and I really enjoyed working with her!
