I cannot recommend Laura highly enough! She came right to my home the morning of my wedding, which made the day so much more relaxed and enjoyable. I had nine other people who needed their makeup done, and she went above and beyond by bringing in another amazing artist to ensure everything ran smoothly and on time.
As for my own makeup— It was absolutely flawless. She nailed the natural look I wanted. I do not wear a lot of makeup normally, and she made sure to give a natural look. Not only did it photograph beautifully, but it also lasted perfectly all day and night. I felt confident, comfortable all day long!

First and foremost, do NOT go to Laura if you are looking for anything other than a perfect job! Laura is amazing, talented, and an artist in her field. I am a Latina who traveled to Ireland for my wedding. I was concerned that a MUA will not be able to do a good job on my cappuccino skin tone. I tried one other MUA in Ireland and it was not a good experience to say the least. But when I found Laura, I was relieved! She did an amazing job blending and getting the tones right. And, my bridesmaids? all with different skin tones from pale to dark, it was like the United Nations! and Laura matched everything single one perfectly and did an amazing job! She was perfect and we all looked natural and beautiful. Extremely professional, on time, and quick. But a good quick (I gotta get you to church on time type)? not a rushing quick. Anyways, do not look further. Laura is who you want to go with. She is the best, and if I could go back in time, I?d choose her all over again! She did amazing on our wedding and we are so happy we found her! (ps. It was a EmmaKs recommendation, so thanks to Emma too!)

My partner and I tied the knot in Ireland on our family vacation from Canada. Working with Laura overseas prior to the day of was seamless and communication was great! The morning of Laura arrived early and ready to get started. She listened to each of the girls wishes when it came to how our makeup looked and made sure that we all felt beautiful while still feeling like ourselves! I would highly recommend Laura for any occasion, especially weddings!
Last thing to note is it rained during our outdoor ceremony (in Irish fashion) but you wouldn’t be able to tell looking at my makeup, it stayed put perfectly!!

Laura did mine and my bridesmaids makeup for my wedding day. I was lucky enough to have Laura do my makeup as a bridesmaid for my friend’s wedding and after having such a great experience I knew I wanted her to do my makeup for my own wedding. She was so easy going and a pleasure to deal with during the run up to the wedding and on the day. I didn’t get a chance to top up my powder that day with everything being so busy but my makeup still managed to last all day. I would highly recommend Laura for any special occasion.

Laura was a blessing to find!
I of course dragged my feet and had a hard time picking someone to help me on my day. I am not someone that is A. good at makeup or B. interested in the more polished look.
Laura was great at accommodating for my pulled back and natural look. She's very friendly and my bridesmaids and Mum was very happy with their make up as well!
Can not recommend her enough! She can accommodate all styles and looks.

I cannot thank Laura enough for the amazing job she did on my wedding day. From I first met her at my trial she was just the most lovely girl and when i wanted to tweak a couple of things after the trial it was absolutely no problem for Laura. On the morning of the wedding she was so calming and such good craic
I had a bridal party of 5 including me and we were all ready in plenty of time. One of my bridesmaids is very hard to please and she said it was the best makeup she has ever had done!! We all looked and felt so beautiful and Laura got the vision straight away. My makeup lasted flawlessy until 5am!! And I even got the day 2 out of the lashes! I 1000% recommend Laura and just wish she could do my makeup everyday. Thanks so much again xx

From the minute she walked in the door she was a true professional but had us all so relaxed and chilled out. She was such an important part of our day and I cannot thank her enough. Our makeup never budged all day and none of us needed any touching up. I would 100% recommend her to any future brides.

It's very clear that Laura has a genuine passion for her craft. She took the time to understand my preferences and every effort was made to ensure I was happy with my makeup.
On the day of the wedding, her calm and relaxed nature helped ease the stresses that come with the day. The makeup not only looked great in person but also photographed really well.
I highly recommend Laura for anyone looking for a talented and dedicated professional who can bring out the best version of you on your wedding day.

I was very impressed with Laura, firstly from her organisation skills. She arrived at the appointed time and had herself set up and ready to start in 15 mins. As I had not met with her previously we had a consultation about what I would like as mother of the groom and then she gave me her guidance on what makeup she would use. I have to say I nearly didn't recognise myself. She also did the makeup on my daughters, they were very impressed. Laura is a true professional, her warm and friendly manner definitely put me at ease. Her skills have the wow factor. I only wish I had another occasion soon that I could engage her service again. I would definitely recommend Laura to any bridal party or guest out there. I wish her many years of great success in her career.

I cannot recommend laura enough for events and for my own wedding, Laura is nothing short of a perfectionist at what she does, the look she creates and her attention to detail is far beyond expectations. From the trial, to advice on skincare in the run up and my finished look she is just amazing at what she does. My make up did not budge all day and I was extremely happy with my makeup for the wedding and as wedding guest or different events. Such a lovely warm person to have on the morning of your wedding, everyone was extremely happy with their finished look and as a returning customer I can’t recommend her enough to everyone.

On the day she helped to get me ready and didn't leave straight after the make up was done but waited until I was ready to leave the room so she could provide me with last minute touch ups. She listened to my ideas and used her knowledge and experience to make my make up perfect. She was friendly and professional and someone I was happy to spend my wedding morning with. I also met her for a trial which helped calm my nerves of how I'd look on the day. I would highly recommend Laura she is brilliant at her job
