She's fun and easy to work with!

I love how she does my makeup! It's amazing how she can transform your face without having to lose your natural beauty. She uses products that are lightweight and matches your skin perfectly. Plus she's fun and easy to work with!

Fave part- Lourdgene H will take care of you

My favorite part of Lourdgene as a makeup artist is that she will take care of you. She will not leave you early or all alone. Instead she watches over you and makes sure your makeup is never running or destroyed throughout the day. She will hover over you with a fan, with a tissue wiping at all your sweat. As a makeup artist, Lourdgene Howes has skill. She can accomplish any look or peg you want. She has a magic touch and will make you feel so beautiful on your special day. Highly recommend!

Lourdgene H has been my makeup artist for 7 years

Lourdgene Howes has been my makeup artist for 7 years and I’ve never had a complaint, feeling prettier each time! She’s been there, doing my photoshoot makeup, graduation makeup, prom makeup, and in the future I want her for my wedding makeup! She especially cares for your skin and preps it before hand! t is important to mention that she has amazing disinfectant devices and makes sure all her brushes and makeup are clean and disinfected for each and every client.

The assistance they gave me went beyond their job

From our pre-wedding shoot to our wedding day, the look was a natural “no makeup” makeup style and Ms. Lourdgene absolutely nailed it! Even the skin prep alone was already a winner. An extra ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ goes to her entire team . The hairstylists were all amazing, from junior to senior. The assistance they gave me went beyond their job, and it truly touched my heart. I’m so thankful to all of you.

They were the best supplier that we booked

They were actually the best supplier that we booked on our wedding day. No regrets. They made me feel super special and they really boost my confidence. Daniella was super hands on when it comes to my hair and even followed me during the shoot. Ms. G is very friendly and very professional. I love my make up and I super love their team.

Her aura of confidence and joy would infect you

I find myself in awe of their interactions while doing my makeup. They knew what they were doing, there is no doubt about that. On the wedding day, she was very friendly, very light, her aura of confidence and joy would infect you that even if you were supposed to be nervous, you would not feel it. Despite handling a lot of heads, she was hands on and she took very good care of me and my groom. She is not doing this for the money, she is doing this for her craft, her passion, her art.

They’re super accommodating & took good care of me

I highly recommend Ms. G and her team! They’re super accommodating and took good care of me during my wedding—very hands-on. The products she used were high-end/luxury brands and she even took her time to give me suggestions on what to use based on my skin type. I especially loved that she emphasized the importance of skin care and was able to integrate it with my makeup to create a flawless look. Needless to say, I felt beautiful on my wedding day I’ll definitely book again for the next event

Lourdgene never left my side from start to finish

Lourdgene is amazing to work with because she’s genuine & down to earth!! She made myself and my family feel happy and comfortable & was accomodating to everyone.To lighten up the mood, Lourdgene turned her phone on and switched to a nice, feel-good music playlist so the ambiance was really set on a happy mood to start with. Aside from being my HMUA, I really really appreciate it that Lourdgene never left my side from the time that I sat on her make up chair up until the ceremony

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

My own wedding, of course! It was an intimate celebration on a beautiful island — simple, heartfelt, and surrounded by the people I love most. It reminded me that the most meaningful weddings aren’t about size or extravagance, but about love, connection, and the joy of sharing that special moment together.

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Radiant, Elegant, Natural, Timeless, and Calming

What about your business are you most proud of?

I’m most proud of the calm and comforting energy I bring to every wedding morning. Many of my brides tell me they instantly feel relaxed once we start. As a nurturer by nature, I love creating a peaceful atmosphere where each bride can take a deep breath, enjoy the moment, and feel truly cared for while I bring her vision to life.

What is your No.1 wedding planning tip for couples?

Take a moment to pause and enjoy the journey, it goes by so quickly! Don’t stress over every little detail; what truly matters is the love you’re celebrating. Surround yourselves with suppliers you trust, so you can relax and be fully present on your special day.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

My own little rituals during bridal prep! I love playing calm music, giving a gentle face massage before makeup, and staying close to the bride during photos to make sure she always looks and feels her best. Those quiet, caring moments make the day feel even more special.

Describe your typical process with a couple.

I like to start with a friendly chat to get to know the bride and her vision ,her style, theme, and how she wants to feel on the big day. From there, we plan a trial session to create the perfect look together, making sure it complements her dress, features, and personality.

On the wedding day, I arrive early to set up my mobile studio, play calm music, and create a relaxed atmosphere. I stay close by for any touch-ups or last-minute adjustments, ensuring the bride looks and feels flawless from morning to evening.

What do you love most about your job?

I love that my brides don’t just become clients ,they often become friends. Being part of such a special, emotional day builds a real connection, and it’s such a joy to see their happiness and share in those unforgettable moments. After overcoming cancer, I’ve come back to my passion with a renewed sense of purpose, helping every bride feel her most beautiful and confident self. This journey reminded me why I truly love what I do.

What is your No. 1 beauty tip for a bride?

Less is more , focus on enhancing your natural beauty rather than hiding it. Great skincare, rest, and hydration are just as important as makeup for that radiant bridal glow.

How do you keep the bride feeling calm on her wedding day?

I create a relaxed and soothing environment from the moment I arrive. Calm music, gentle conversation, and small touches like a face massage or warm beverage help set the tone. I stay close throughout the prep, guiding her through each step so she feels supported, confident, and completely at ease.

What advice would you give to brides to stay looking great throughout their wedding day?

Hire me hahaha! I’ll make sure your makeup stays flawless from morning to evening, so you can relax, enjoy every moment, and look radiant in every photo.
