About

Hey I'm Lauren,

I am hair and makeup artist based in the Warwickshire countryside. I cover the Costwolds, Oxfordshire & Warwickshire primarily but do regularly travel anywhere I'm needed. I have mastered the art of being the perfect calming, relaxing energy that brides need on their wedding mornings and enjoyed over 1000 weddings during my career to date.

I pride myself on being 'different' from the rest in that I am all about naturally enhancing the gorgeous features you already have. I believe that the right makeup, applied properly can make you look like the most beautiful version of yourself. You should still feel and look like yourself on your wedding day, so I won't do any drastic contouring or cake you in unneccessary amounts of makeup.

I've quickly became very established and highly sought after. I have won over 20 awards to date and I am a recommended supplier for a lot of prestigious venues across the Cotswolds and Oxfordshire. I regularly do destination weddings and have been fortunate enough to have been flown to Paris, Champagne, Vilamoura, Majorca, Rome, Copenhagen, Santorini and even Singapore. At one stage I ran a team of over 25 other artists and have recently come back to weddings myself full time to give my brides the best possible services.

Simply wonderful!

Lauren was simply fantastic, she was everything I needed in a wedding hair and makeup artist, and more! She was friendly, organised, communicative, punctual and incredibly talented. I had so much fun at my trial, she was so easy to chat to about anything and everything. Lauren was so receptive during the trial to any minor adjustments I requested to achieve the perfect look, and she absolutely smashed it out of the park, I adored how I looked on the big day, I couldn't stop looking at myself in the mirror! Her relaxed easy-going manner was exactly what was needed on our wedding morning. I would recommend Lauren to anyone looking for a hair and/or makeup artist, you won't be disappointed!

So happy I went with Lauren!

I’m so glad I chose Lauren to do my hair and makeup for my wedding day. She is so lovely, talented and made the wedding morning so special. My bridal party and I thoroughly enjoyed her company on the morning and she made us feel so at ease. We felt so beautiful and glowy! Couldn’t recommend more. I don’t wear heavy makeup, and wanted a really natural look on the day- and Lauren achieved this perfectly!

Amazing - thank you Lauren!

Lauren put me at ease the moment I met her during my trial. Getting your make up and hair done can feel such a personal thing and also quite nerve wracking if you’ve never had it done professionally before! But Lauren was chatty, polite and asked all the right questions! Not to mention her gorgeous doggy!
On my wedding morning, Lauren was the exact same and made the whole bridal party feel calm yet excited! All the things I was nervous about, she kept reassuring me was totally normal and fine - and this is before we get to the hair and make up!
Lauren followed my brief completely and gave me a glowy, peachy, pink finish I asked for and my hair was absolutely beautiful. It lasted all day and all night, even in 30° heat! I was so pleased with my look and my bridal party loved their make up too.
Thank you Lauren - you were the most fantastic addition to my wedding morning & I highly recommend your work to any bride!

Amazing wedding day

Lauren was amazing throughout the whole process. The bridal trial was super smooth and easy to arrange which made me feel such peace. She arrived promptly on the day and followed her timings to perfection. She applied any last minute changes we asked for and made me and my bridesmaids feel gorgeous on the day.
The thing I was most worried about was my hair as I wanted to keep my natural curl pattern but give them more shape with the curling iron but since my hair is very fine it usually doesn't last long. As the expert she is Lauren maintained my hair pattern while giving it extra shape and making it last the whole day even after dancing all night long.

Extremely disappointed and let down


I put a huge amount of time and care into selecting a makeup artist for my wedding, and sadly, I could not have been more wrong in choosing Lauren.

Just 38 hours before my wedding, Lauren cancelled—via email at 9:30pm. Thankfully, I happened to see it, but when I tried to follow up with phone calls, I received no response. She later stated she was in hospital, which of course is a difficult situation, and I hope she’s okay. However, that doesn't excuse the way this was handled.

At such a crucial and sensitive time, a responsible and experienced professional would have arranged cover in her absence and then informed me of that plan. That is what any bride reasonably expects, and when I reached out to other makeup artists, they confirmed this is standard practice. Instead, Lauren vaguely mentioned she had "put a post out" to see if someone might be available. I was left in a state of panic, scrambling to find a replacement at the last minute, with no guidance or support from her.

The day before my wedding, instead of soaking in the excitement and tying up final preparations, I spent it in complete stress trying to secure a last-minute hair and makeup artist. It was distressing and took away from a time that should have been joyful.

I expect Lauren may respond saying she followed her terms and conditions and notified me in writing—as agreed. But from a basic human and professional standpoint, sending a late-night email and then ignoring all calls the day before a client’s wedding is simply unacceptable. Out of decency, she should have called directly or had someone contact me, and more importantly, she should have arranged an alternative artist and reassured me.

Luckily, I was able to find someone who could do my hair and make up last minute, and I actually preferred their work. Nonetheless this experience left a significant shadow my wedding I would strongly urge others to think carefully before relying on Lauren for such an important occasion.

Amazing hair and makeup

I am so glad I chose Lauren for my wedding hair and makeup, not only does she have a lovely calming personality, perfect for a wedding morning but she managed to get my heavy hair and oily skin to perfectly hold all day. I loved my wedding look, the trial was great but I asked for a few small tweaks on the day which Lauren listened to and executed perfectly. My bridesmaids and mum also looked beautiful. Lauren is super helpful, skilled, responsive and on time which made for a very relaxed experience.

Beautiful wedding hair & make up

Lauren did my hair and make up for my wedding day and I’m so glad I found her! I really wanted a natural look as I don’t usually wear a lot of make up and still want to look like myself and she captured it perfectly! I had really struggled with my skin leading up to the wedding and was anxious about how it would look on the day but Lauren made me feel so relaxed and reassured and did such a great job with coverage without feeling like I was caked in make up.
My hair held all night and I got so many compliments on my make up.
I can’t recommend Lauren enough, she’s so talented, kind, calm and genuine and everything you need the morning of your wedding.
Thank you for making me feel beautiful 💕

Beautiful hair and makeup for a special day

Lauren is absolutely fantastic! From the start, she made me feel completely at ease, really listening when I shared my concerns about my ‘awkward’ hair that usually falls out at the slightest gust of wind.

The makeup she did was beautifully natural and stayed flawless all day, as did the hair! I truly felt like a goddess, and for the first time, I looked at myself and genuinely thought "Wow, I look amazing!" That feeling of confidence was incredible, and it’s all thanks to Lauren’s talent.

I would highly recommend her to anyone. She’s kind, down-to-earth, and has a wonderful way of making you feel right at home on the most special day.

The most perfect makeup for my engagement shoot!

Thank you so much to the amazing Lauren for making time, super last minute, to do my makeup for my engagement shoot. Lauren was so kind, so professional and the end results were amazing! I was blasted by wind for two hours and the makeup didn’t budge an inch! I cannot recommend Lauren enough, thank you so much! 💕

Totally perfect!

I am just so over the moon that I found Lauren and she was able to do both my hair and makeup for our wedding day a couple of weeks ago. From the first emails exchanged last year, to the trial and then finally to the big day, Lauren exceeded all expectations and was the perfect woman for the job!

From the moment Lauren came in on the morning of our wedding, she had such a calming & serene influence. It was exactly what we needed! As for the hair & makeup - wow 🤩 I was completely blown away by how gorgeous a look Lauren created for me. The makeup lasted all day & night without wearing off, smudging or creasing. I felt simply stunning and had so many compliments! Same with the hair - it really stood the rest of time, with plenty of windy moments outside and lots of dancing in the evening! 🪩 Lauren took my ideas and exceeded all expectations. I felt so gorgeous & confident because of Lauren and cannot recommend her highly enough to any brides wanting to accentuate their natural beauty on their special day.

Such a genuine person - just who you want to be spending the last few hours with on the morning of your wedding

I am so happy I found Lauren. As a person who doesn't wear makeup since 2019, Lauren helped me feel comfortable and happy in myself both on the trial and on my wedding day. She listened and understood my thoughts and we adapted well when some small changes needed to be made on trial day. It was genuinely so lovely to meet her - she was such a calm and down to earth presence on the day of the wedding. She is very skilled in both hair and makeup - very glad we met 😌

Unbelievably professional

I booked Lauren after searching high and low for a stylist. Lauren is one of the loveliest, most genuine people I’ve ever met who takes so much pride in the authenticity of her work and morals. She is honest about if the style you have in mind is achievable and always adds emphasis that no two styles will look the same. She is creative and has skill in abundance. I would book Lauren a thousand times over.

Wonderful Wedding Make Up

I cannot thank Lauren enough for the magic she worked on myself, my mom and my bridesmaids at our recent wedding, they all looked absolutely beautiful, and she made the whole wedding party feel glamorous and full of confidence for the big day. She catered the make up to our individual styles, and really showcased our personalities through the looks she created. She made us feel comfortable and at ease throughout the whole morning, and having just received our wedding photos, we are so grateful to Lauren and the team for helping us look the part! 😊

Absolutely wonderful!

If you want to feel like the most beautiful version of yourself on your wedding day, Lauren is definitely the person to see! She really listened to my ideas and gave me exactly what I wanted - a natural makeup look with the dreamiest loose waves. It was really important to me that I still looked and felt like myself on my wedding day and Lauren absolutely delivered. She also has the best recommendations and advice regarding hair, skincare and makeup, but also about life in general!

Best of all, Lauren is the perfect person to have around on the morning of your wedding - we had a lovely long chat and she really helped to keep me feeling calm and relaxed on a day that could so easily have been filled with anxiety. Thank you so much Lauren, you were a huge part of my wedding day and I couldn’t be happier!

Brilliant!

If you’re looking for someone to do your wedding makeup, look no further! Lauren is utterly amazing in her skill as well as a person. Even though she is working flat out to catch up with all the postponed weddings, she stills manages to make you feel special. She stays so calm and professional during this stressful and crazy time, which I appreciated so much on the morning of my wedding.
Lauren made me look amazing, and also made four of my bridesmaids look and feel beautiful. Makeup lasted all day, even through happy tears and (lots) of dancing!
Brilliant service, thank you Lauren!
