2018-04-11 By Laura-Louise Leave a Comment

I have some FABULOUS Awards Nomination News to share with you all!

Last week, I received a message on Facebook saying:

“Congratulations! Your customers have been voting for you and we can officially confirm that you have been nominated for the North West Wedding Awards 2018. For further information and for you to ask your past customers to vote for you from the last 2 years. www.countybrides.com/awards

I was ecstatic to say the least!

Awards raise the profile of any business, especially new businesses. The brilliant thing is that they are voted for by my customers, my Brides who have already experienced me at work and my service from beginning to end.

Knowing that it can only be voted for me Brides adds even more sparkle to the news about being a nominated in the North West Wedding Awards 2018 so you can imagine my surprise on Monday morning when I opened up my email and read…..

I can’t quite believe how incredibly lucky I am to have such wonderful Clients

I’m sitting here in my office in shock and I can’t quite believe how incredibly lucky I am to have such wonderful Clients who think that I am good enough to be nominated for an award. I consider myself very lucky to have been trained by the best that there is to offer and have also worked alongside a list of super talented wedding suppliers who have also been so supportive of me and my dream to be a successful makeup artist. Then there are the Brides, their Bridesmaids, their Mums, Mother-in-Laws and friends who like me and love my work…I’m just so incredibly lucky!

I’m feeling emotional just writing this….but if you are reading this, THANK YOU.

From the bottom of my heart. Thank you for nominating me and putting my name forward among so many wonderful makeup artists. I know it’s only April…but you have made 2018 a magical year for me, you really have

I will now go downstairs and break the news to my Daughter…no doubt you’ll hear the screams and see the fireworks as she bursts with excitement at the news! I’m glad you won’t see the horrendous celebratory happy dance we do in the kitchen when we are celebrating wonderful news! 😉

Love to you all,

Elegant, Natural makeup for Bride-to-be Lindsey

2017-08-28 By Laura-Louise Leave a Comment

I’m proud to be able to share with you some gorgeous wedding photographs from a recent wedding where I was lucky enough to be chosen to create the makeup for the Bride-to-be, Lindsey, Mother of the Bride, Sue and Bridesmaid and Sister, Katie.

Wrexham Wedding Trail

I first met Lindsey her Mum and Sister at the Wrexham Wedding Trail wedding fair in January 2017 at St Giles Church, Wrexham. Lindsey had not found a makeup artist who had a natural makeu-up style who she thought met her requirements. After talking to her and discussing her needs in more detail, Lindsey booked me, Chester based Laura-Louise Makeup Artist, to create her wedding look.

Lindsey knew she wanted a natural yet elegant make-up look on her wedding day and wanted to have a red lip. She was confident wearing a red lip on nights out and special occasions, and knew that she wanted this on her wedding day too. I was so excited to create this look and looked forward to the trial sessions.

Trial Makeup Session

At the trial, I ensured that the tone of red I chose suited her porcelain skin and hair tone. The colour looked fabulous on her and made her smile even more when she looked back at herself in the mirror once I had finished her makeup on the day. Lindsey also loved the individual lashes and the glamorous look they gave her. Lindsey’s Mum and Sister also had a trial and afterwards they went out for a meal to test-drive the makeup. They were all impressed with how long it lasted and how many compliments they received!

On the morning of the Wedding

Bridal preparations took place at Lindsey’s Mums’ house. On arrival, there was an air of calm which didn’t change throughout the morning. The vibe in the house was excitement, fun and laughter throughout and Bluedoor Photography captured this brilliantly! Oh how we laughed!

Lindsey wrote a fabulous review and I can only thank Lindsey, her Mum and Sister Katie for their kind words and recommendations. I’d like to wish Lindsey and Josh a very happy life together!
