Lena Clark Beauty

If you have an idea of something or someone you want to personify, even if it's a mashup of ideas, go with it. I honestly hadn't considered any of the specifics of how I wanted my make-up even when she asked while I was in the chair! I just knew how I wanted to feel, and the... Read More experience I wanted my husband and I to have. Also, this is only the third or fourth time I've ever had any make-up on, and it wasnt too much or too heavy. Even though I sweated my hair out, got sumo hugged by over 90 people (who were taller so their jackets were on my face), and ate some delicious buttercream cake at the end of the night I still had the same face I started with. Enough so to go to a four hour after party and sweat all over again 😂. So ladies do W-H-A-T-E-V-E-R your hearts so desire. As long as you communicate with Lena and her staff, and take their professional suggestions with understanding that they really know what their doing. When you get in that chair a weight will be lifted. I guarantee when she hands you that mirror, and you see yourself for the first time, you'll feel exactly what you set out to feel. I can't wait for our anniversary😂. P.S. He blubbered like a baby😙🤵🏽 See you soon Lena, -Mrs. Mason😘

5 Stars don't BEGIN to describe her work!

Lena is nothing short of a miracle worker. I felt like a princess on my wedding day. My bridesmaids and junior bridesmaid felt equally as beautiful. I received several compliments. My aunt cried when she saw me. I can't say enough or recommend Lena enough. She did an outstanding... Read More job. Did I mention that my makeup lasted over 10 hours?

Thank you so much to Lena Clark Beauty for making me look stunning on my wedding day! She is a genius with POC skin tones and my experience was no different.

I can't say enough good things about Lena and her team!

Lena... Read More was amazing! With two brides she made us both feel special and beautiful and our makeup complemented eachother. My mom and sister's makeup was gorgeous too!

Read More you book Lena you will not be disappointed! Thank you Lena for making me look great on my wedding day!

My wife and I searched and searched for the perfect person to do our makeup for the bid day. We tried out many people before we thankfully found Lena Cllark Beauty. I'm Hispanic and my wife is biracial and we had an awful time looking for someone who could match both of our... Read More complexions. It was exhausting and we consistently ended up looking white washed in photos. Then we found Lena Clark Beauty who was able to give us both flawless complexions that looked natural! She really knows what she's doing! We did a practice run with her before the wedding just to make sure we'd be okay but having seen our bridesmaids and our mother's for the first time Lena and her team did just as amazing on them for having only met them once! Additionally, being a lesbian couple was something we were concerned about with our vendors and how they would react to us. But it's safe to say that Lena did not blink an eye when it came to that.

Lena kindly referred me to several amazing hairstylists which was such a help during the months leading up to the wedding. We would have been lost without this and this alleviated so much stress for me. Finally, on the day of the wedding, Lena made me and my bridesmaids look like movie stars.
