Natural make up

Would highly recommend Lauren, especially for natural looking make up. Lauren made me feel comfortable and calm when I was completely out of my comfort zone. Thank you so much!

⭐️ “Flawless Makeup & a Wonderful Experience”

I had such a wonderful experience working with Lauren. I was her first brown-skinned client, and she absolutely nailed my look! She took the time to make sure everything suited my skin tone perfectly, and I was beyond satisfied with the result.

What stood out the most was how comfortable she made me feel throughout the process. It was a wedding day, so naturally things were a little stressful, but she gave me the time I needed to get myself ready before we even started. She was patient, kind, and incredibly professional.

Not only did my makeup look stunning, but it lasted beautifully all day. I received so many compliments, and I truly felt like the best version of myself. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and thoughtful makeup artist—you’ll be in great hands!

Highly recommend!

Lauren did such an amazing job with my bridal makeup! I wanted to look done up but still feel like myself, and she nailed the natural glam vibe I wanted despite not having time for a trial beforehand. She truly went above and beyond my expectations and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to look like the best version of themselves

Wedding makeup

I had Lauren do mine and my bridesmaids makeup on my special day and was really happy with the outcomes. Lauren was so professional right from the start and always answered any questions I had. Lauren talked me through different stages at my trail so she could get the look I was after on the day.
I was really happy with how my makeup looked and how well it lasted all day. Thank you so much Lauren for making me look how I did on my day!

Lauren was absolutely wonderful!

She really took the time to listen to what I wanted and talked me through everything as she worked, which instantly put me at ease. It was my first time having my makeup done professionally and I was quite nervous, but her friendly and calming nature made the whole experience so lovely and reassuring.

Natural Make up

I loved my my make up on the day of my wedding. It was very natural and made me feel beautiful! My mum and bridesmaid also had their make up done. Laura was very professional but also friendly. She was good at time keeping so we were not late or running behind. I also had a trial which was very relaxing. I would highly recommend!

From the moment I sat in her chair, Lauren made me feel completely at ease with her warm and professional approach. She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted — enhancing my natural features while giving me a flawless, radiant look that lasted all day and night.

Not only is Lauren unbelievably skilled, but she’s also such a calming, lovely presence — exactly what you need when getting ready for a big event. If you're considering booking her, don’t hesitate.

Beautiful bridal party makeup

As a bridesmaid, I worked with Makeup by Lauren Jones for my friend’s wedding. She was professional and created looks that suited each of us. My makeup was beautiful and lasted through the day. She listened to what we wanted and made sure it was fine. It was a great experience, and I’d definitely recommend her to others.

Incredible - can’t recommend enough!

Lauren did mine and my bridesmaids’ makeup for my wedding in August 24 and she was simply wonderful.

The trial we did was so helpful and Lauren was super flexible and happy to change any elements of my makeup to ensure I was completely happy and comfortable on the big day.

She listened to all my preferences and my bridesmaids’ alike. The three bridesmaids that chose to have their makeup done were all equally as thrilled as I was.

Our makeup looked gorgeous and it stayed put all day even despite many tears being shed throughout! I look back at the photos from the day regularly and I cannot fault the job that Lauren did for us all - I looked and felt my absolute best self and it’s largely thanks to Lauren and her incredible work.

Thank you so much Lauren - you are wonderful at what you do and anyone who chooses you for their wedding will be super lucky to have you on their special day ♥️

Highly Recommend! ✨

I recently had the pleasure of having my makeup done by Lauren for an event, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the result! From the moment she arrived, Lauren made me feel comfortable and at ease. She took the time to listen to exactly what I wanted, while also offering her expert advice on what would look best for the occasion.

The makeup was flawless—everything stayed in place all night, and I received so many compliments! Lauren's attention to detail and skill really stood out. She has a great understanding of colour and application was so good and her ability to highlight my features was amazing.

I left feeling confident, beautiful, and ready! If you're looking for a talented makeup artist who delivers stunning results, I highly recommend Lauren Jones!

Makeup Artist

Hi, I'm Lauren — a professional makeup artist with a passion for creating magic, whether it's a glowing bridal look or a jaw-dropping prosthetic transformation. I specialise in wedding makeup, helping brides feel confident, radiant, and completely themselves on one of the most important days of their lives. But my love for makeup doesn’t stop at soft glam — I also dive into the world of prosthetics, teaching workshops and bringing characters to life through special effects makeup.

When I’m not doing makeup, you’ll probably find me reading a fantasy book (yes, the faerie smut kind), crafting something fun, rewatching a Disney classic, or hanging out with my cat, Mark. I’m a big Harry Potter fan and love anything with a touch of whimsy and wonder.
