Lori was amazing and I knew she would be so easy to work with. She came recommended from a good friend of mine, and I am so glad we used her! She listened to what I was looking for and made some recommendations based on the "look". She is super nice, and I can't wait to use her again but as a bridesmaid - not a bride : )

I cannot say enough about the positive experience I had working with Lori. She was exceptionally responsive from the very beginning (email responses within minutes sometimes!), and I booked her on a high recommendation from a friend. I did my trial after signing the contract and was even more sure that it was the right choice when it was a positive experience -- she listened to my preferences and was willing to change anything I didn't like. On the wedding day, she was early, and SO wonderful to work with -- she is so pleasant and really adds a positive, happy vibe to the room. I got so many compliments on my makeup. In addition to my makeup and my bridesmaids, she also did my mom's -- my mom doesn't wear a lot of makeup and was nervous (especially when she saw that my bridesmaids and I were fairly made up) -- Lori took the time to listen to my mom and created a gorgeous, natural look for her. If Lori is available for your wedding date, book her immediately! She won't be available for long and you won't regret it. :)

Lori was absolutely amazing to work with! She is 100% reliable which was very important to me me and took away some stress of the wedding day. I have never looked that beautiful in my life. I would love to have her beautify me every day. She was by far my best vendor and replied to every single one of my e-mail within only a few minutes. She is truly the best and I am so glad that I found and booked her. Thank you for making me look like a princess!!!

Lori was amazing! My bridesmaids and I had a 5 star experience with her services. I would highly recommend Lori to brides or anyone looking for a glamorous look.

I do not have enough awesome things to say about Lori. First off, let me say that I was totally unsure about whether or not to do my own makeup/have my bridesmaids do it/ pay the money to have someone come do it. In the end I decided that it wasn't worth the stress so I decided to find someone to do it for me. Ladies, don't do it on your own, it isn't worth it!
Lori was completely phenomenal. I had the flu on my wedding day (including horrible black eyes) and Lori made me look as if I was in perfect health. I had no idea what type of look I wanted, and Lori was totally ok with that. We decided to go with airbrush and it blew my mind. She also let me experiment with some false lashes but in the end I decided to forgo those.
Everyone told me how radiant I looked and the make up stayed in place ALL NIGHT, so the make up was a total success. Even my eye liner (which usually ends up under my eyes) stayed in place.
If you decide to have your make up done (and I really whole heartedly suggest that you do) try to...

Lori was AMAZING! She was extremely flexible and immediately replied to all of my e-mails!! She gave me and each of my girls a lip color for the evening! I had to be talked into the lashes.. but sometimes you gotta listen to the professional!

Lori from Le Mariee Makeup did an absolutely fantastic job on my wedding day makeup! Wedding makeup for me was a huge factor in my planning because I am quite experienced with my own makeup and I know what I look best in. After reading rave reviews and viewing gorgeous example pictures I decided to give Le Mariee a try.
From the very beginning, Lori was almost instant with returning emails on inquiries and setting up a trial. I coordinated my trial with my bachelorette party so I could test the durability and look of the makeup. I had a some acne and scarring on my cheeks and my skin was drying through overuse of products. Lori used concealers and the airbrush foundation to make my skin look flawless! It was like the redness and uneven tone completely disappeared. My makeup also stayed on all night through sweating and dancing.
When it came time for my wedding makeup (even though I loved the trial makeup) I completely changed my mind on coloring and styles for my big day. Lori was amazing in addressing my concerns and she came up with the perfect combination of colors to match my ideas. After I said I loved her lip color, she even gave me her personal brand new lipgloss out of her purse to keep for touch ups all night. My wedding makeup looked absolutely amazing and photographed very well. I had my makeup done at 1:30pm for an evening wedding, and literally when I woke up the next morning my makeup still looked good enough to go to breakfast. Lori even took the time voluntarily to fix the foundation of my maid of honor who had gotten her makeup done elsewhere to make sure she looked ok.
Not to mention it was raining, sleeting, and snowing and Lori still showed up for my makeup EARLY even though it took her about a 2 hour commute! I cannot recommend Lori with Le Mariee Makeup enough! She may seem a bit pricey, but it is absolutely worth it for your wedding day to look your absolute best. Better to pay a bit more for high quality than pay less and regret it later!

Lori did such an amazing job on my bridal make-up and was able to bring an assistant to help do 10 bridesmaids and 2 moms all within about 4 hours!
Everyone's make-up looked absolutely stunning and not a single one of us was disappointed with her work. In fact, one of my bridesmaids booked her right then and there for her own wedding! Lori definitely has the skill, experience and expertise to make any bride look flawless while still encouraging brides to keep within their own style and vision of what they want.

Lori was absolutely great to work with, and she is an amazing and experienced makeup artist. I have had my makeup done as a bridesmaid for several weddings, but I personally think she is the best makeup artist out there! She is very flexible, responds to emails within minutes (!!), and listens to you, but is not afraid to make suggestions - and they're almost always right on! She is also not tied to one makeup brand, as many makeup artists are, which I think is a good thing, since it opens up so many more options. In a nutshell, Lori did a great job for our wedding. She even made my hard-to-please mom happy and look like a million dollars!

Lori provided airbrush makeup services for my 10/2/11 wedding. She did an amazing job, arrived early, was professional and most importantly, made me feel and look like a truly beautiful bride. I received so many compliments and my makeup was flawless and stayed all day and night. Lori is also very sweet and very easy to work with.
I am a bride that no longer wears makeup on a regular basis, so I was very concerned about airbrush and looking too made-up or fake. I had an airbrush makeup trial with a different company prior to finding Lori. The trial with the other company ended very badly, and the makeup was horrible, heavy, cakey and the wrong color. I thought I would have to do my own makeup for my wedding. Thank goodness my hair stylist, Julie Flury of Jewel Hair Design highly recommend I talk to Lori. I booked a trial with Lori. I told her my concerns and asked many questions. The trial went very well and she was so patient and listened to me, always putting me at ease. I emailed her questions while I was trying to find the perfect lipstick color and she was so helpful and always quick to respond.
She was very professional and on-point on the morning of my wedding. She listened to my feedback from the trial and perfected my makeup look. My husband was so impressed, he (and everyone else) said I still looked like myself, the makeup never detracted or was heavy and I looked stunning. She enhanced my best features and from the pictures I have seen so far, her makeup photographs very well. My makeup felt and looked great all day and night. I am so, so glad I found Lori and did not try to do my own makeup! She showed me that airbrush makeup can work for anyone and is so appropriate for a wedding!

Lori Nansi was AWESOME to work with! She was very responsive and patient when I asked her a lot of questions about the makeup she uses. She was very flexible and professional - especially when my mom did not decide until the last minute to get her makeup done. Lori also listened to me (and my mom) about the way we wanted to look and was very open to any concerns that we had. She made us look FABULOUS. I did not look overly made up - I just looked like a better version of myself. I have never felt more beautiful. I would highly recommend her to a friend for a wedding or special event!

Lori was amazing to work with and made me feel beautiful on our wedding day!! After having bad experiences with some mac makeup artists I was hesitant to spend the money to find someone else to do my makeup for our wedding but im so glad I hired Lori! She was extremely professional and answered any questions I had immediately. She was also fun to work with on our wedding day and helped me stay calm amid the chaos. Most importantly she did beautiful work. I would have her do my makeup again in a heartbeat.

Words cant begin to describe how AMAZING Lori is - you will have to experience her services and find out for yourself!! From the moment we started talking about booking her services for my wedding she has been the true professional. Whats more so, she is the most prompt person you will ever meet! She answered every single one of my emails within minutes - and for us busy brides you cant even imagine how wonderful that is! Then to top it all off, she is the most talented woman in the make up industry! That I can guarantee you!! She will work with you to get your perfect look but wont push you to try something that isnt you. Trust me when I tell you - book an appointment with Lori...you will be blown away by her! I'm so happy I did, because I looked amazing on my wedding and a HUGE part of it was due to her :)

Lori, you were just amazing! You made me feel so comfortable and relaxed and SO SO beautiful on my wedding day. Thank you for being so reliable and flexible with the scheduling and multiple venues. You made all the girls feel so special; you took your time; and most of all, your skills as a makeup artist made us all feel so confident on our special day. It was a pleasure working with you and I would recommend you to any bride (as I already have with two friends who booked you as well!!!) Thank you again for everything!!!

Ladies,
With Lori you are in great hands! She is truly the best! I had a two-day wedding in different locations (within the DC area). Lori came out to both locations, was able to move her schedule around to accommodate me and my bridal party. Lori has done a fabulous job and I highly recommend her.

Lori was AMAZING to work with!!! A couple bridesmaids had opted not to get their makeup done but once seeing her amazing work the day of, they changed their mind. Lori was more than flexible to fit in all the last minute additions and keep us on time.
I highly recommend using Lori!!!

Lori is amazing! I found her the month of my wedding after I went through a disastrous trial with another makeup artist. I was really lucky that she was free that day bc she gets booked pretty quickly. She's very easy going, patient, really funny, and great at what she does. You won't be disappointed! My brother who always makes fun of me, actually complimented me on the day of my wedding. Her airbrushing makeup lasted all day, even through Hurricane Irene!
