The Makeup Girl-Lanay Morrison

Lanay did an AMAZING job on our wedding makeup (for me, as bride, and my best friend, as Matron of Honor). She understood the look we wanted, executed flawlessly, and with a finish that literally lasted all day, including through tears of joy. My only "regret" is that her studio is too far away for me to have her do my makeup for EVERY night out with my new husband. THANK YOU LANAY!

Lanay was a complete professional and made me look absolutely stuning! She has such a wonderfully calm demeanor on a day that can be very stressful for the bride. She arrived exactly when she said and worked her magic in a matter of minutes for all of us girls in the party! Thank you Lanay for a great job!!

Of course I wanted everything to be perfect on my wedding day, including my makeup and my bridal party's make up and Lanay did a fantastic job! Lanay arrived at my home a few minutes early, set up her makeup and got started right away. With each person, Lanay took the time to ask how they wanted their makeup to look and never rushed through any of them. Lanay was very friendly throughout the entire process and provided a sense of calm the day of. My bridal party, including myself, can be very critical when it comes to our makeup, but we all loved what Lanay did. I am extremely impressed with Lanay and definitely recommend her to anyone needing beautiful and natural make up, whatever the occasion!

Laney does amazing make-up, it lasts the whole day and comes our amazing in pictures. She does water based airbrushing that is smudge, sweat and water-proof. Which it completely true! Even at the reception after dancing I still looked amazing in the pictures. She does a run-through of the make-up before the wedding day. And on the day she will come to your venue or house, if you can't go to her. She is simply amazing at what she does.

Lanay was amazing! I tried her for my trial run and loved her and the make up! I booked her immediately for my wedding and my entire bridal party, including my mother and husband's mother, who never wear any make up. Lanay's airbrushing technique was not only beautiful but it lasted from the morning all the way through the reception which was over 12 hours! She is such a sweet person to work with and always responded quick and timely. I am so pleased that I have passed on her information and look forward to using her for future events. Many thanks Lanay!!!

If you want to look stunning on any occassion, Lanay is the lady to talk too. She did my makeup and my mother makeup for my wedding and it was perfect. My mother is an idendical twin and it is crazy when you see picture of them at the wedding. My mother looks so much better, I was so shocked when I saw the closeups! Love, love, love Lanay!

Lanay was excellent. Using airbrushed makeup (which lasts long (so long as you dab and not wipe if you end up crying) she achieves whatever look you're trying to accomplish, whether that be a more natural look to something more dramatic. I opted to go more natural looking. She also provides you with lip gloss to reapply throughout the day. I was impressed with her professionalism and flexibility when it came to payment. And she always had prompt responses via email or phone. With her professionalism and expertise her services are worth the price.

Lanay was great. She did a fantastic job on makeup for myself and my bridesmaids and even my mom! The makeup never budged and looked beautiful in photos.

Lanay was awesome! She did mine and my mom's make up on the day of my wedding. She did my make up exactly how I described, and it lasted all night long without having to touch up. I loved it and I would use her again.

Lanay did an amazing job getting me pretty for my wedding day! She listened carefully to the look that I wanted, and she executed it perfectly! Lanay was also very calming and helped out when scheduling conflicts occured on the big day. I loved the experience entirely.

Lanay was professional, gracious, and prompt. Her demeanor was friendly and calm, which was so important to me the morning of my daughter's wedding! I highly recommend her air brush make-up services.

Lanay was excellent every step of the way. The initial consultation was relaxed and professional, and although I was not completely satisfied with the first look (the style, not the quality), Lanay listened carefully to each change I wanted to make for my wedding day. On the day of the wedding she was on time, calm, and cheerful. Her demeanor put me at ease, and she confirmed exactly what I wanted before she began. The look that Lanay gave me was exactly what I wanted-I was so grateful that I looked like a more enhanced version of myself-natural, but dramatic enough for pictures. I would hands-down recommend Lanay to any future bride!!

Lanay did the airbrush makeup for me and my bridesmaids. She did a wonderful job and everyone loved it. Lanay is very personable and comfortable to work with. I would definetely use her again.

Lanay is amazing. I booked her only a couple months before my wedding date, and we set-up a trial run that fit my schedule perfectly. She really knows how to work with your individual features and coloring. After my trial run I was a bit concerned with how the make-up looked on my skin after a couple hours. When I explained to her what was going on, she suggested that I needed to hydrate my skin more and also try another trial after using a hydration mask. She also told me to be sure not to wear any moisturizer or product on my skin before the make-up application. She sent me a free sample of a great firming and hydration mask and gave me the instructions on how to use it. I went in for another trial (she did not charge me for this 2nd trial - which was for the airbrush foundation - no eye make-up, etc.) and WOW what a difference. She really knows her stuff!! I bought some of the mask from her and used it again just before my wedding day. My make-up looked AMAZING! Lanay applied make-up on myself, my mom, and 2 of my bridesmaids. We felt like celebrities - she made us look absolutely amazing! I had to travel quite far to get to her (San Jose to Clayton), but please don't let this deter you if you aren't close to her studio. I'm seriously considering taking make-up lessons from her because she really is THAT good! I would drive even further, it's totally worth it! Book Lanay, don't hesitate, you will be very happy that you hired her!

First off, Lanay is awesome. She was a calming presence to have around the house the day of the wedding. Second off, her service is impeccable. She did my makeup and my bridesmaids, and everyone looked absolutely amazing. She does a wonderful job at making everyone look like enhanced versions of themselves. I would tell everyone i know to use her.

Lanay did an absolutely amazing job on my wedding. Her make-up choices look unusually natural and flattering. Her airbrush method provides a coverage that feels very light and photographs well. She did my make-up as well as 4 bridesmaids, 2 mothers, and 1 grandmother. I received so many complements on how good our make-up looked. I couldn’t have been happier with how our make-up turned out. And everyone loved working with Lanay throughout the process. Lanay was cheerful, calm, and thoughtfully responsive throughout the whole process. She was fantastic!

Lanay was awesome! She is very professional. She was on time to my house and did make up for 6 ladies. She was very efficient. She selected the perfect colors to go with all the different ladies complexions, eyes, hair, etc. Everyone loved their make up and we all got so many compliments from the wedding guests. We all did the air brush make up, and loved it. It was so light, you didn't even feel like you were wearing makeup. I didn't need many touch ups. I only touched up some powder on my nose a couple of times through out the day. We all did false eyelashes as well. Lanay does the single lashes which I love because they feel weightless. Usually eyelashes bother me, but I couldn't even tell I was wearing them.

Lanay is one of the top make-up artists! She is fantastic! Very easy to work with and very quick to respond! Definitely will visit her again when I'm in town!!

Lanay,

You were so awesome to work with. You really helped last minute with bridemaids makeup and also I really appreciate you helping me find someone to do bridemaids hair. Thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful on my big day. The makeup lasted all night and until the next day! I would highly recommend getting airbrush done for all brides. I highly recommend Lanay to everyone who wants to look extra beautiful and feel amazing.

Cheers,
Sue

Lanay was AMAZING!!! All the make up looked so incredible the whole night. So many people told me how amazing my mother and I looked. Lanay did an incredible job and was so nice and professional and on time. I could not have been happier. I highly recommend her to anyone, she is seriously amazing!

Lanay did my makeup up for my wedding recently on August 26th, 2011. I could not have been happier with the service I got. Not only did she do mine but 7 of my bridesmaids to and then when one of my bridesaids wanted to get hers done last minute she made time to add her in also. She went out of her way to make sure I was happy and felt beautiful. All of us looked amazing when she was done and it was nice not to have to worry about a thing with her. She was on time, sweet as could be, went above and beyond expectations, and even calmed me down when I started to get nervous. I cant wait to use her again for makeup. Thank you so much for making me feel so beautiful and making my day so wonderful!!!

We we all very satisfied with how the make up turned out. The pictures came out beautiful. Thank you so much!

Hi there Brides!

I am a newly wed as we just had our wedding just under 3 weeks ago.

Since it was an August wedding at the ceremony was outside I knew that I wanted to have my make-up airbrushed. After two solid months of looking around for a make-up artist and I located one in the San Ramon area, and had a trial for another wedding I was in. Lets just say not only did the airbrush gun blow up on my face and then never start working again, but she also glued my eyelids together.

After giving up hope I found The Makeup Girl-Lanay Morrison on wedding wire. SHE IS AMAZING!!!!! Not only was my make-up beautiful, exactly what I wanted, and stayed put all night, but she was extrodinarily easy to work with and very flexible.

I am not much of a make-up wearer so Lanay explained everything and catered my look to me. I had fake eyelashes and they were individual and like nothing I had every seen, so beautiful and real looking. Non of the discomfort that you have with others. She gave me touch up supplies, and came to our onsite location to do our make-up.

Not only was her make-up amazing. But she is very calming. My maid of honor was having a slight melt down over personal drama not only did Lanay listen to her every dramatic word, but then she listened to me after and somehow was able to apease us both. SOOO, not what she is there for, but the little therapy session definately helped ;)

At first you might look at the cost and think it's a tad pricey, but realize this covers your make-up trial and the day of make-up including the touch up make-up. For me because I was in the area I didn't have to pay travel fees either. Lanay is well worth the price.

I would definately reccomenda Lanay she is amazing!!!! When I got down the isle and to my new husband he said "you look so amazing, more beautiful then I have ever seen you!" part of this is because of Lanay!

Good Luck with planning beautiful Brides out there!!!!

Thank you so much. You did a wonderful job.

Lanay was such a great vendor to have at my wedding, she came to my venue which was really convenient. She is extremely friendly and does a quality job. All of my bridesmaids and myself were so thrilled with the way they looked after Lanay worked her magic with her airbrush makeup. And it lasted through the night and even into the next day. I definitely want to work with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone. Thanks Lanay!

Lanay fit this 52 year old bride and my 3 bridesmaids (daughters aged 26,23,and18) at the last minute in an already full day. However, she treated us as though we were her only clients that day, engaging us, relaxing us, and making us look fabulous for my special day. She arrived promptly at 7 a.m. , finished at about 9, and the makeup lasted through tears, sweat, and fun all the way to 1 a.m. I would recommend her services in a heartbeat, and she'll bw doing the makeup for my girls' weddings when the time comes!

Lenay has such a calm, confident demeanor she takes all the jitters away. Her work is amazing! My makeup came out exactly as I wanted it and I felt absolutely beautiful on my wedding day! What I appreciated most is that she really LISTENS to what you want and delivers. I can't say enough positive things about her work! On top of it, she's very sweet and fun to work with.

Lanay is great at what she does! She just did my make-up for my wedding as well as my mom and MOH this June 2011. She has also done my make-up for a friends wedding last summer. I am always very satisfied with the way my make-up comes out. I don't normally wear a lot of make-up but I absolutely love it every time. My mother normally wears no make-up and she looked amazing at my wedding the best I've ever seen.Thanks Lanay!! Would highly recommend her to any bride or future client.

I can't say enough for the service provided by Lanay for my wedding. I love airbrush make-up because it stays put and I don't feel the need to "freshen up" my make-up. It's well worth the cost to have a trial run because I found Lanay really listened to what I felt needed changing the day of my wedding. Her calmness is amazing...the day of my wedding she had spent her morning applying make-up for a large number at another wedding, then arrived at my house very relaxed and ready to take care of my needs...this, I feel, is very important for the bride.

I would definitely recommend Lanay for your wedding day beauty. And pamper yourself with a facial prior to the wedding...just make sure to plan it!

Happy wedding day!!

Lanay is great! I highly recommend her. My makeup and my bridesmaids looked flawless. I was very happy with choosing Lanay-The Makeup Girl!

When planning for our wedding I didn't really take into account how my make up would fit into the day. I'm not too used to wearing make up and tend to rub it off by noon during the course of a work day.

At first I thought I would do it myself, but after I tried various make up counters and bought enough products to open a beauty bar I realized I needed professional help. Lanay was very accommodating in every way! She responded quickly to my request for a trial meeting and easily adapted the pictures I brought to her as an example of how I would like to have my make-up done.

The day of our wedding my make up looked awesome and held up until I took it off more than ten hours later. The best part was that it felt very light and my skin looked great. Lanay is very talented and was able to do my requested vintage look, my Mom's more subtle look, and accommodate the bride's maids requests as well.

I would think any Bride would be lucky and happy to work with Lanay on her big day! I know I was.

Lanay was my choice for make-up artist. She was recommended by our photographers who witnessed her magic. Well, I was not disappointed. I have never used airbrush makeup, but Lanay made me look so beautiful on my wedding day. I can't thank her enough. She also did my mom's and daughter's make up and they too looked absolutely beautiful! I highly recommend Lanay for wedding day makeup. You will not be disappointed! Thanks Lanay

Lanay is wonderful. She did my makeup, my four bride's maids' makeup and my mother's makeup for my wedding day. For me, Lanay provided a full makeup practice session so we could create the look I was imagining for my wedding. She has years of experience and was able to provide excellent advice relating to color. I was so happy with Lanay's services; I looked great and each of my bride's maids and my mother loved their makeup. I whole-heartedly endorse Lanay. Not only is she a fabulous makeup artist, but she has a great personality, which makes her a fun addition to your wedding party as everyone prepares for the big event.

Lanay was great! Having the trial ahead of time was really helpful to get ideas of style and Lanay was able to make recommendations based on facial features. I would recommend bringing in pictures so that Lanay knows exactly what each bride wants.

Lanay made me look better than my best. The makeup was perfect and I really looked flawless. I was stunned by how beautiful my mom and bridesmaids were, we all felt like princesses. I would definately use Lanay's services again.

I was absolutely delighted with the services I have gotten from Lanay. She did my bridal make up and bridesmaid make up for our wedding. I loved that she could come on the premises of our event. She did such a great job on myself and one of my bridesmaids. I liked the airbrush make up, made me look very fresh and natural. She was prompt, calm and very pleasant to work with! I would use her services again in a heartbeat.

Lanay was the awesome make up artist for my daughter's June 2010 wedding. She did an AMAZING job on my daughter, myself and 6 bridesmaids. Everyone was very happy with the way they looked, especially the bride--who is very particular about her make-up. We all received many compliments on our make up. Lanay was very prompt at answering my e-mails and arrived at our house right on time. She was a fun addition to a very special day...and as others have mentioned, she does have a very calming presence, which I, as a frazzled mother of the bride, appreciated! The make up looked very natural, felt very light on my skin, and lasted all day--no touch ups were necessary. Professionally applied make-up, especially airbrushed, really makes the photographs look exceptional! I highly recommend Lanay @ The Makeup Girl!

I couldnt have asked for a better experience. The make-up was perfect and Lanay's calm attitude really helped. She did the make-up for me and my three very picky sisters and we were all very happy with the end result. We have pictures to prove it! Thanks Lanay!

I consider it a privilege and honor having worked with Lanay for the past 8 years. I do the hair, she does the make up. After all this time I am still amazed at her work. She stays professional and is a calming influence in stride of any changes that may be asked of her.

I was married in September 2009, and was so excited when she offered to do my makeup. Knowing that I was in good hands and how she knows just how to bring out your best for the photography. Especially since I was one of her more 'Mature" brides.

I look forward to working with her and have booked her for myself and my future daughter-in-law when she marries my son in August this year.

Lanay is wonderful. Her skills are so amazing she makes you look so perfect. With Lanay you do not have to worry about you makeup artist being late or not listening to your requests. Both my sister and myself have used her and we had a very early start too. Lanay was on time and had a very calming presence on the crazy day! Thank you Lanay.

Lanay not only did my make-up for my wedding, but both mothers and 3 of the bridesmaids. All in just about 3 hours! I was amazed! I've even continued to see her for other services. Anyone would be lucky to book her for a special event.

Lanay is wonderful! She is professional, arrives on time and was very flexible when we changed the "getting ready" location. Communication was great--she always responded quickly to my e-mails or phone calls.
The day of the wedding, she was calm and relaxed and didn't rush, which made the time spent getting make-up done enjoyable for the bride, the wedding party and myself (bride's mother). We all had so many compliments on our make-up, and someone glancing at the wedding pictures quickly did a double-take because they thought I was one of the girls in the wedding party! If she can make the mother-of-the-bride look 20 years younger just by the make-up job, what more needs to be said? I would hire her again without a second thought and highly recommend her.

I was extremely nervous to have someone other than myself do my make-up for my BIG day and Lanay did an amazing job! We met a few months prior to the wedding to do a trial run and she was willing and able to work with me and adjust anything that I asked her to adjust. I have had my make-up done by other make-up artists in the past and have always gone straight home to wash my face because I was so disappointed, but not this time! Lanay did a beautiful job and I was thrilled with the way it all turned out on the day of my wedding. I felt beautiful and the make-up stayed on the entire time. I would highly recommend her to any bride!!!

Lanay was absolutely amazing. She comes to you.. and does a really great job. If you're looking for airbrushed makeup in the Bay Area.. she is it. A little expensive.. so don't be shocked when you pay almost $400 for her to come to you... but definitely worth it.

Great make-up artist!!!

I've known and worked with Lanay for many years. She's excellent and extremely professional in her craft. I highly recommend her if you're looking for someone to do your makeup on your wedding day.

Making the world better to look at one face at a time! Thank you Lanay!

While conducting my business many years in California, before I moved to Atlanta in 2007, I had the great opportunity to work with, and refer business to, Lanay of The Makeup Girl, many times and it was always a pleasure. In a competitive field there was never any "compeition" because she offers something many makeup artists don't, which is licensed skin-care. Lanay is extremely knowledgable and I always felt confident referring brides to her knowing they would be in good hands. Lanay is professional and friendly and always a delight to work with.
