"I love making people feel the best versions of themselves while enhancing their natural beauty," she says. "It's amazing to see how my make-up skills make my clients feel self-confident and glamorous. There's something amazing about working with brides, and it's always an honour to be chosen to be a part of someone's special day."Claire Muffett-Reece, Editor of our sister title, Your North East Wedding, experienced Laura's make-up skills first-hand for a recent TV appearance on Steph's Packed Lunch.

She listened to what kind of make-up I had in mind and got the brief spot on, and I'd thoroughly recommend her to any bride-to-be."

Bridal make-up with Laura costs £140, including one trial prior to your wedding, complimentary strip lashes, a full product breakdown and behind the scenes video/photographs of your make-up.
