LS Makeup Artistry

I was referred to LS Makeup Artistry, (specifically Leah) by my sister. Initially, I thought «Oh, I’ll just do my own bridal make up! No big deal!» Then as my wedding date drew closer, I began to panic with the thought of my less-​than-​stellar makeup skills. And you know what? It’s your damn wedding, you should show up looking and feeling beautiful.
Initial contact with Leah was easy; I just used the «contact us» link on the website. A day or so later I heard back from her, but conversation from there on out was multiple times a day via e-​mail. She was so prompt in responding to my inquiries, very professional, and was so easy to talk to, like conversing with your best friend. I immediately felt comfortable with her even though we hadn’t met, and couldn’t wait for my trial!
We selected a date about five weeks out. She offered to either come to my place or I could come to her (Aurora). I chose to go to her, as I could just show up and she wouldn’t be lugging all of her gear around. Leah quoted me a price (since I was a referral, I got an awesome discount), but even so, I think the services she offers are more than reasonable. To be honest, I didn’t shop around for other MUA’s, but I’ve heard of girls spending stupid money to get cake faced. And well, that’s just… stupid.
My trial went perfectly. I decided to go the airbrushed route, as I had never done that and was curious at the results. I also opted for fake lashes, as mine have begun to thin and fall out over the years (I’m sure wedding stress hasn’t helped) and I wanted a more fuller look. As for Leah, she is such a positive woman, with a bubbly personality and great sense of humor. I immediately felt confident with her. I showed her a couple of pictures of my ideal look, and she replicated them perfectly. When she had me the mirror, I couldn’t believe the person staring back was me! I almost cried… almost. The trial lasted for an hour, but it felt so much longer seeing as how I had never gotten my makeup professionally done before.
On the big day, Leah showed up on time with her arsenal of supplies. Not only did she do my and my sister’s makeup, she stayed later than planned to airbrush my mother and mother-​in-​law, and give them fake lashes as well. Her upbeat attitude lasted all four hours she spent with us.
The end result was amazing. I felt so beautiful on my wedding day, all thanks to Leah. I highly recommend her for those brides with small wedding parties and aren’t looking to spend crazy money on their wedding makeup.
