Laurence Makeup

Laurence Makeup is a Geneva makeup artist and hairstylist who offers bridal hair and makeup at the bride's home, with published package prices and a trial in her studio. Her homepage says she has more than 30 years of experience in professional makeup and hair, accompanying women and men at weddings, photo shoots, runway shows and artistic productions. Her wedding page says that every year she does the bridal hair and makeup of more than 45 brides, in Geneva and across Europe, and that each receives the same attention and care. She describes the aim as a luminous, refined and well-orchestrated look that reflects the couple's story.

What every duo package includes

The wedding page divides the offer into duo packages (makeup and hair) and signature packages (makeup or hair). The duo packages all include: a personalized advice appointment by phone to define the style; a complete makeup and hair trial in her studio, with the option of a trial at home for a supplement of CHF 100 plus CHF 0.80 per km from Geneva and any tolls; the full bridal makeup and hair at home on the wedding day; and a satin robe personalized with the bride's first name, plus a bridal kit for touch-ups through the day. Extra personalized robes for family or friends cost CHF 40 each, in pink or champagne.

Travel for the duo packages covers the Lake Geneva basin and Haute-Savoie and is charged at CHF 0.80 per km plus any tolls. It is free for any bridal booking with 4 or more guests. For trips of more than 4 hours, the page says accommodation on site has to be planned.

Duo package prices

All prices on the page are quoted before tax (HT).

Forfait Éternité, CHF 628. From the first consultation through the trial to the wedding-day makeup and hair at home. Without the trial and without the robe, the same service is CHF 300.

Forfait Romance Duo, CHF 743. Everything in the Éternité package, plus complete makeup and hair for 1 additional person.

Forfait Fleur de Mariée et Invitées, CHF 1,725. Everything in the Éternité package, plus complete makeup and hair for 6 guests and 2 hours of touch-ups.

Forfait Millenium, CHF 2,150. Everything in the Fleur de Mariée package, plus 8 hours of presence on the wedding day.

Two options can be added: 2 hours of photo touch-ups for CHF 260, and a supplement of CHF 200 for a Sunday wedding.

Signature packages, makeup or hair only

For a bride who wants only makeup or only hair, the signature packages include the phone consultation, a trial in the studio (with a home trial possible for a supplement), and the wedding-day service at home. Travel is included within Geneva; outside that area the page charges CHF 0.80 per km, with an estimated travel time of 4 hours, and accommodation on site is to be planned.

Élégance Éphémère, CHF 300. A refined, personalized bridal makeup or hairstyle.

Formule Luxe, CHF 632.50. A dedicated presence for outdoor photographs, with 2 hours of on-site makeup or hair touch-ups included.

Team Wedding, CHF 80. Hair or makeup for family and friends, CHF 80 each for hair and for makeup.

For a couple from abroad, the value of this page is that almost every cost can be estimated before the first message: the package, the kilometers from Geneva, tolls, a Sunday supplement and robes for the wedding party. The phrase "HT" (before tax) means the final invoice can be higher than the headline figures, and a couple should ask what is added.

Beyond weddings

The site also offers visagisme (face-shape makeup advice), makeup for companies and corporate shoots, professional training courses for makeup artists and workshops for private clients, including private workshops with friends. Her homepage lists brands, agencies and events she says have worked with her, among them watch houses, model agencies, Watches & Wonders Geneva and fashion weeks in Milan, Paris and New York. The homepage says her workshops are aimed both at private clients who want to improve their everyday makeup and at professionals refining their technique, with personalized coaching; a bride who wants to learn to do her own touch-ups through the day could book one before the wedding.

What clients say

The homepage carries reviews from workshop participants, models, photographers and brides. Élodie M., a bride from Geneva, writes that she knew from the trial she was in good hands and that her makeup was flawless in the photographs and radiant in the evening light. Clara M., who married at Château de Coppet, says the makeup was luminous, delicate and matched to her dress, and that it lasted to the end of the night. The page links to further reviews on Google.

Contact and booking

Contact is by email at info@laurencemakeup.ch, by phone on +41 79 331 41 12 in Switzerland or +33 6 13 62 33 88 in France, or by WhatsApp message. The site has a contact form and a link for availability and booking. The French number is useful for couples marrying in Haute-Savoie, which falls inside her standard travel zone.

What the site does not settle

The site is published in French and does not state which languages she works in, so a couple who needs English should ask in the first message. It gives no deposit, payment or cancellation terms. It does not say whether she works alone or with a team when a package includes 6 guests or 8 hours on site, how early she can start, or how far ahead the trial should take place. For weddings outside the Lake Geneva basin and Haute-Savoie, the travel cost is clear per kilometer, but the accommodation cost for long trips is left for the couple to plan.

Who it suits

Laurence Makeup suits a bride marrying in or around Geneva, or across the border in Haute-Savoie, who wants makeup and hair from one experienced artist, a trial beforehand and a package price she can plan around. The larger packages, with 6 guests, touch-ups and a full day of presence, suit a couple who want one person looking after the whole wedding party through the photographs and the evening. The caveats are that prices are before tax, travel is charged by the kilometer outside the free cases, Sundays cost more, and the booking terms are not published.
