House of Howes Brides by Lourdgene Howes
Luxury Bridal Makeup Artist in Nottingham and across the UK

Lourdgene Howes has been my makeup artist since I was 14 and I’ve never had a complaint. Feeling prettier each time!

Lourdgene uses all high-brand makeup that feels amazing on the skin, she especially cares for the skin and preps it before hand! It 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.

My favorite part of Lourdgene as a makeup artist is that she will take care of you. She watches over you and makes sure your makeup is never running or destroyed throughout the day and applies the appropriate touch-ups needed. We have done our pre-wedding shoots & I am flying her to LA for my wedding

As a makeup artist, Lourdgene Howes has skill and talent. She can accomplish any look you want. She has a magic touch and will make you feel so beautiful on your special day. Highly recommend! 🤍

About

About Me

My name is Lourdgene Howes, the founder and creative force behind House of Howes Brides. The name is a thoughtful play on my surname, chosen for its elegance, memorability, and timeless appeal. Much like a couture fashion house, it represents craftsmanship, refinement, and a signature approach to bridal beauty, one that brides can easily recognise, remember, and trust.

I originally relocated to the UK to study in Scotland in 2010, where my passion for bridal beauty continued to evolve. Throughout my career, I have been deeply immersed in working with brides from diverse cultural backgrounds. What sets me apart is my ability to create flawless, timeless bridal makeup for British and Western brides, paired with in-depth expertise in East Asian features. This multicultural experience has given me a refined understanding of different beauty traditions, skin tones, and facial structures, allowing me to create bespoke looks that feel both culturally respectful and effortlessly elegant.

With over 10 years in the wedding industry, I offer a fully professional and reliable service. I take a highly personalised approach with every bride, carefully tailoring each look to enhance her natural beauty while reflecting her individual style. I believe in quality over quantity, which is why I accept only one wedding per day, ensuring every bride receives my full attention and a flawless, timeless bridal experience.
