As a make up artist and stylist I love nothing more than making people feel good about themselves. A lot of people underestimate the power of makeup and beauty to help bring confidence and a feel good factor to your day, whether it is for a special occasion or just because you need a bit of 'me' time.

 

I first began working in theatre and film makeup in 2001 before moving to Southampton in 2007 where I diversified to special occasion, photographic and commercial beauty, alongside working for brands including MAC, Bobbi Brown and Laura Geller. In 2016 I began working for Too Faced Cosmetics as one of their National Pro Artists and then Education Lead, winning an International Events Artist award in LA. I travelled across the UK and Europe hosting in store events, masterclasses and training teams and also worked on a number of brand events with global influencers, before launching Lauren O Makeup Beauty Hair full-time in 2020.

 

I have been so lucky to meet and work with many amazing people throughout my career, but having worked in makeup and beauty for over 20 years you can't beat the feeling of putting a smile on someone's face with your work.

As a freelance artist I am passionate about products and ingredients and only use 100% cruelty free products and tools in my work. A fully vegan kit is also available.

 

It is always an honour to be chosen to be part of someone’s big day no matter what the occasion, and I thoroughly believe that you should be just as comfortable with your artist as a person as you are confident in their styling skills, so please drop me a message if you’d like to chat more about your special occasion!
