My name is Lauryn. I'm a makeup artist in the North Jersey Tri-State area. I spend a lot of time working on sets for models and photographers as well as doing bridal makeup and special events.

I take great pride in making people look and feel beautiful and being the trusted person that a woman hires on the most special day of her life. I truly enjoy my art and am very passionate about it.

So, here's the story of how this all came to be...

When I was 17, I had my first photo shoot, and I loved it. I knew at that moment, seeing the photographer set up his lens, the model sitting in my chair, my makeup and brushes spread out all over the tables, eye shadows and powders laying everywhere, that I wanted to wake up every day and do that.

I wanted it to look like a tornado blew through a MAC store everywhere I went. My favorite projects are the ones where I have no creative limitations. I usually find that on the sets of photo shoots and theater work.

I'm known to show up to a shoot with a box of supplies that would make even Lady GaGa quiver with excitement. In the photography side of my makeup career, I'm usually hired by fearless photographers and models who are looking for me to physically create a wild idea or concept in the form of makeup.

People in that industry trust my creativity, and I usually have pretty satisfied clients at the end of the day. I feel that makeup truly brings an image to life if it's done correctly and an untamed imagination is involved.

Later on, I was inspired to attend Roman Academy of Beauty Culture, where I graduated and received my cosmetology license. I furthered my education by attending MAC Pro classes, where I was trained by Luke B., a well-known MAC makeup artist.

After that, I was still waking up with an unsatisfied desire to do makeup every day, so I got myself a job at a makeup counter. From there, I decided that it was time to do this for real.

Since then, I have been freelancing, working for brides, photographers, models, and playhouses for theater work. You name it, and it involves makeup, I'll do it.
