Last update: May 2026
Lori is a bridal hair and makeup artist based in East Lothian, known for her calm, down-to-earth presence and her ability to create looks that feel completely personal to each bride.
Her work is not about following a single style or trend, but about listening carefully and translating each bride’s vision in a way that feels natural, considered and true to them. Whether that leans towards soft, classic, modern or something with a more vintage influence, Lori’s focus is always on enhancing rather than masking, with beautiful skin, thoughtful detail and a finish that lasts throughout the day.
What sets Lori apart is the experience she creates on the wedding morning. She works at a steady, unhurried pace, allowing time for each person in her chair to feel comfortable, looked after and never rushed. Brides often describe her as kind, reassuring and easy to be around — someone who blends seamlessly into the morning while quietly keeping everything on track.
Every booking is approached with care and intention, from the initial enquiry through to the final touches on the day. Lori believes that how you feel is just as important as how you look, and her aim is always for you to feel like yourself — just a little more polished, confident and ready for the day ahead.

Thank you so much!
Lori was amazing!! From the start of the process she was fantastic, and during my trial spent a whole afternoon perfecting my makeup (including trying on every shade of lipstick and starting with a natural look but ending up layering shades of bronze and blush!). On the day she was brilliant- such a relaxed and calm influence letting me have my morning my way (even when my mum lost her car key!). My makeup was beautiful and made me feel like a princess all day, and my bridesmaids all asked for something different from natural to glam- Lori gave them all their perfect looks. The make up still looked perfect at the end of the ceilidh …and the next morning when I forgot to wash it off!! Thank you so much again!

Lori does magic✨️
Lori really made me look like a princess and feel like a million dollars - and had my bridesmaids and mum glowing all day long✨️
She was so incredibly kind and flexible with our chaotic morning schedule, making sure everyone felt comfortable and looked beautiful for the day ahead. The make up lasted all day and even survived a few (happy) tears🤭🥰
If you want a makeup artist who is as lovely as she is talented, look no further, Lori was a perfect addition to our morning💕

Very thoughtful and responsive
Lori was brilliant all the way through. Our trial came out beautifully but there were elements that didn't feel like me. Lori was incredibly responsive to that and I felt like she hit on exactly what I wanted on the wedding day. She is clearly very sensitive and can tailor her skills perfectly to different needs and requirements. My bridal party was also diverse in terms of skin tones (including Indian and Japanese) and everyone's make up looked beautiful and very natural. Thank you Lori!

Fantastic to Work With
Lori was amazing to work with, she made myself and my bridesmaids feel comfortable throughout the whole experience and the morning was a lot of fun having her around! The makeup was exactly what we wanted, and she absolutely nailed the hair brief. I would 10/10 recommend Lori to other brides!

Absolutely amazing from start to finish!
Lori was absolutely incredible to work with in the run up to and on the day of my wedding. She was communicative, friendly, fun and easy going. I really appreciated all of the additional communication around timings, and how relaxed everything was the morning of the wedding. The makeup for me, my mother in law and my maid of honour was absolutely gorgeous and lasted all day (and night!)
I can't recommend Lori enough- she was really amazing!

Wonderful!
Having Lori to do my hair and makeup was honestly such a joy!
The hair and makeup trial was so much fun - a big chunk of the day just having a laugh and a chat while also getting pampered! I had a vague idea of what I was looking for and Lori really helped with the vision, while also being happy with making any changes.
On the big day, Lori turned up bright and early with lots of great energy. The whole morning was really relaxed and she really helped calmed my nerves. She made me feel absolutely beautiful and it was a lovely way to spend the wedding morning. I'm so grateful to Lori and in awe of her talent!

Flawless makeup, stress-free morning, and a dream to work with!
Lori was absolutely amazing from start to finish! From the very beginning, her quick response time and clear communication made the whole process so easy. She really took the time to get to know me and understand exactly what I wanted, and her knowledge and expertise shone through at every step. On the day, she was so fun and easy to be around, which made the morning stress-free and enjoyable. She kept everything running smoothly and right on schedule, and the makeup was flawless—it lasted perfectly from morning until the very end of the night. I couldn’t have asked for a better makeup artist and would recommend Lori to anyone looking for someone talented, professional, and genuinely lovely to work with.

Such a lovely and talented human!!!
I am so lucky to have come across Lori. She not only was incredibly helpful in customizing my bridal look virtually (I live abroad and could not do a trial) but the experience was also elevated and I felt so relaxed in her presence. My bridesmaids and I looked stunning all day long thanks to her!

Lori is excellent!
Lori is a pleasure to work with! She is very thorough, she listens, she explains everything in detail. I threw her a curveball on my wedding day and completely changed my look from my trial and she hit it out of the park. I highly recommend her!

Amazing in every way
Recently used Lori for my wedding, she did me, my mum and 4 bridesmaids makeup on the morning. Everyone looked absolutely stunning, Lori is absolutely incredible and we were all so happy.
She came kept every one calm, gave them all their own little consultation, and made sure everyone was happy with their finished looks.
I was so happy with how everyone looked, even at the end of the night, after a long day of dancing a celebrating, everyone looked beautiful, the makeup stayed on perfectly. Lori even gave all the girls a little bit of make up so they could touch up after she had gone.
I would 100% recommend using Lori, she was just amazing from the moment we booked her, very responsive in messages, and always so happy and friendly. There is literally nothing bad I can say about her or her work!

Helped the "vision" become a reality
Lori did a fabulous job of not only my bridal makeup up but also my bridal party. We are all very different with different tastes and I wanted my bridesmaids to direct what they wanted. This was no problem for Lori who created 5 individual looks, all of which were stunning.
The trial was really useful but on the day I knew I wanted to add a bit to really bring the hair, makeup and dress together. Again this was no problem for Lori. I had said I wanted to be a vision - she nailed it!

I can’t recommend Lori enough as a makeup artist for your wedding! I don't usually wear a lot of makeup so I was a little nervous about the wedding glam, but Lori made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I had a trial first so I could see how the makeup would look, and she gave me some fantastic recommendations for a skincare routine to prepare (I saw such a difference I've kept it up since then). She really listened to what I wanted, as well as what my bridesmaids were looking for so that everyone looked like the best version of themself. Thank you Lori - I loved how it turned out!

Perfect Day!
Myself and my wife got married this year. We also had my mum have her makeup done by Lori. She made us all feel beautiful on our special day, she also has some cracking jokes! Can't go wrong with Lori.
