I had a such wonderful experience with Lark. From the beginning, she was exceptionally organized and communicative. After some less-than-ideal professional makeup experiences previously, I was specifically looking for someone who had strong experience doing makeup on darker skin tones, and she truly exceeded my expectations. After my trial with her, there were a couple of products/techniques I wanted to change, and she was seamlessly able to adapt and make those changes for me on the wedding day. I felt absolutely stunning during my wedding day and my makeup lasted all night. On a personal front, Lark is such a lovely and kind person. It was a truly pleasure sharing the wedding morning with her, along with my bridal party.
If you’re looking for your make up artist, look no further! Lark was recommended to me by a friend, and now I’m spreading the word. Lark was AMAZING for my wedding - she was fun, punctual, professional, and so great to work with. Everything from the trial, to the day of, I fully trusted Lark and knew I was in phenomenal hands. As someone who wears minimal make up, I wanted my make up to look natural and still wanted to be myself. And boy did she make that happen. Outside the make up piece, her timeliness was impeccable - we had a freak snow storm on our wedding day so we were naturally stressing about various pieces of the day with the storm. Lark managed to show up EARLY. She puts you at ease in so many ways. The make up also lasted through happy tears, snowy outdoor pics, and our dance floor. I cannot recommend Lark enough for your future make up needs!!
I had a wonderful experince with Lark! She is so professional and everything was clearly communicated and outlined from the start. I had a vague idea of what I wanted for my wedding and she was able to make it come to life. I felt so beautiful! I was very stressed about finding the perfect makeup artist and I got SO lucky! Lark is an amazing person and it was so relaxing the morning of the wedding to just chat with her while she did my makeup. I would HIGHLY recommend her, she made the whole process so easy and stress free which was exactly what I needed!
15/10 would recommend! Lark was incredibly professional and I felt like my concerns and feedback were heard. I typically don’t wear makeup so I was a little nervous I wouldn’t recognize myself, however Lark made me look like the most flawless version of myself! I felt absolutely stunning!
Lark is not only a talented MUA but she’s a wonderful human. She was able to assist me in fitting her schedule on short notice. She made me feel very special through all interactions and was wonderful with communication. Her energy is calm and collected and her work made me feel so damn pretty 🥹
Lark is the best makeup artist ever!!! She made my makeup look incredibly natural and glowy, and it lasted throughout the entire event! Everyone at the event asked who my makeup artist was and loved the look so much! Despite me running late to my appointment, she perfected my look even with the little time she had. She listened to everything I wanted and was absolutely amazing. I highly recommend Lark for any event and would love to work with her again and again!!!

Our wedding day beauty was elevated to perfection, all thanks to the incredible talent of Lark! From our initial trial run, where she carefully listened to my preferences and created a stunning look, to the day of the wedding, her expertise shone through. Lark not only made me feel like the most beautiful version of myself but also ensured that my makeup lasted flawlessly throughout the day and night. I received countless compliments on my makeup, and it photographed beautifully. She also paid close attention to each of the bridesmaids, and our schedule was spot-on with plenty of time for touch-ups at the end. Thank you, Lark, for your artistry and for being an essential part of making our day unforgettable!
I absolutely loved working with Lark for my wedding day! I’ve been in a few weddings that used airbrush makeup and ended up looking like a clown with makeup caked across my freckles. I was so happy to hear that Lark doesn’t use airbrush and she does all natural looks! My make up turned out exactly how I wanted it to look and all my bridesmaids loved their looks as well. I would highly recommend Lark for your big day. Everything was clean, on time, and looking amazing!
Lark did such an amazing job with my wedding makeup. I cried literally 15 times and it stayed PUT! She also listened to me, allowed me to take the lead and was totally helpful. 10/10!
Lark is a true artist and a serious professional at her craft. She is organized, communicative, kind, and talented. Everyone was cared for, comfortable, and looked amazing. My reaction to my day-of makeup was literal speechlessness. Hire Lark! You will not regret it.
Lark was fabulous to work with! She did my bridal makeup, and it looked so natural. It was exactly what I was looking for on my big day. I'd definitely recommend her, and would use her again!
Lark was so incredible to work with! My bride and I had very different visions for our makeup on our wedding day. I am used to wearing makeup and knew that I wanted a clean, warm look, which she executed flawlessly. My wife rarely wears any makeup and was nervous about wearing makeup for our wedding. Lark was was so skilled at giving her options and executing a minimal makeup look that made my wife feel exactly like herself on her wedding day while still wearing makeup. The range that Lark showed was incredible. She listened to our (very different) visions, adjusted to our feedback, and made us both feel incredible on our wedding day. I cannot recommend highly enough working with Lark to make you feel like your best self on any big day!
Recently, I had my wedding, and I can say Lark is genuinely talented, but more importantly, she listens to what you want and can make it happen. I had pictures of what I wanted, but I wanted to look like myself only better. Thanks to Lark, I felt flawless on my big day. I would recommend Lark for any event. She is a true professional - punctual, organized, experienced, and a fantastic makeup artist.
14/10 recommend! My photographer referred Lark after the makeup artist I booked fell through. I feel SO LUCKY this happened and that I ended up working with Lark instead. From the trial, to my surprise encounter with her for a photo shoot, to the wedding, she was absolutely amazing each and every time. Look no further and BOOK!
Thank you, Lark!
You will not regret having Lark as a part of your wedding day! She is so receptive, knowledgeable and professional the whole way through the wedding planning process. She took my vision and made it come to life at my bridal trial appointment. And then she somehow made my already amazing makeup look even better on the wedding day. I was blown away by how beautiful I felt and she made me feel so at ease on the morning of my wedding. I got so many compliments, too! I will definitely reach out to her for future make-up needs. Thank you Lark!
Wow, Lark was amazing! She was so professional and able to accommodate my large party of 8. I have never felt more beautiful than my wedding day, thanks to Lark. We did a preview about 2 months prior to the wedding day, and she understood my vision perfectly, and it came together on my wedding day in the best way! I highly recommend Makeup by Lark!
I had the pleasure of having Lark do my makeup for my wedding. The preview set the tone- she helped me get quiet and create clarity around my bridal look. Lark encouraged me and helped link my vision to make up styles. I felt I was able to have my preferred vintage aesthetic, yet still felt timeless and current as she added input and options to highlight my attributes.
The day of the wedding, my time in the chair with Lark was grounding and rejuvenating. She was gentle with me as all my other responsible that morning were trying to take over. There was a softness and ease to her creating my look that helped calm my nerves that I never would have expected from my make up artist but it was a true joy to have my time in the make up chair with her on my big day. Thank you, Lark!
Lark was very professional and timely. I had a bridesmaid who wears a lot of makeup regularly and one who never wears make up, ever. She made both feel so confident in their look for the day. My makeup was beautiful and lasted the entire day. We were all so happy with Lark’s work. She was so sweet and did an amazing job!
When I started searching for a makeup artist for my wedding, Lark came highly recommended by 3 different professional makeup artists that I had reached out to about availability. She did not disappoint! She did my makeup, as well as my bridesmaids and mothers of the bride & groom, and everyone raved about her artistry. She listened, and knew how to make each individualized according to wants, and the makeup lasted all night long. She took detailed notes from the trial and made every tiny adjustment we had talked about. She absolutely killed it!
Lark was one of the highlights of my wedding day. As someone who does not regularly wear a lot of makeup, I knew I wanted a professional to help me on the day, but I was nervous I wouldn't feel like myself. Lark did such an amazing job. It was a true glow-up; I felt like myself, but just sparklier. Plus, she kept the vibe calm and fun during the morning, which is exactly what I needed. I also appreciated just how organized she was. She responded to emails super punctually, and always reached out first with a clear plan. She took copious notes during the trial so she could exactly replicate the look. I would hire Lark again in a heartbeat!
Lark reminded me what it meant to be a Bride. In the chaos that is wedding day, she was such an easy energy and well organized machine when it came to Go time.
I am so so grateful that she was a part of our day. If I had to redo the day, she would be my first call to book.
Lark was amazing to work with! She did my wedding day makeup as well as makeup for a handful of gals in my weing party and everyone looked absolutely stunning! As someone who doesn't wear much makeup, Lark made the experience both comfortable and fun, during both my trial and through my big day jitters, and even with a full face I felt like myself! I can't recommend her enough.
I highly recommend Lark! I loved the makeup she did on me! It last for well over 8 hours!
Lark did an amazing job on all of our makeup for our wedding !! She is wonderful to work with as well. Along with being a very talented makeup artist she is also kind, reliable, and well organized. I absolutely recommend her services !
Lark made my special day that much better! I am so grateful for her talents and making me feel like a beautiful bride! I felt glamorous, yet still myself! I will be recommending her to all my friends and will continue to use her for any big events!
Lark is the absolute best! She was exactly the person I wanted on my team on my wedding day, most beautifully done makeup, very professional, great communication, and all around wonderful presence. I do not often wear a full face of makeup so for me it was really important to feel gorgeous but still feel like myself, and Lark absolutely nailed that for me. I wanted an elevated natural look and it is exactly what I got, but I also believe in Lark's ability to meet any desired makeup style. The makeup had the most impressive staying power and every single one of the girls in my bridal party could not stop raving about Lark!
I am so grateful that Lark was our makeup artist! Every single person that got their makeup done from her said something to me personally on my wedding day about how much they loved it, that they were so glad she listened to what they wanted, and that she is very knowledgeable. I loved my wedding day makeup and I really appreciate the time she took during my trial before the wedding to work with me for my envision to come to life! I would definitely recommend Lark!
Lark did my make up for my July 2022 wedding and she was phenomenal! We did a trail a could months before and she really took the time to explain what she was doing and how to make what I wanted happen. The day of the wedding she was on time and very professional. Lark even made time to put a last minute lash on one of the bridesmaids that was not planned! Lark is wonderful at what she does!
I was so apprehensive about finding a makeup artist for my wedding day because I am super particular about how I do my makeup and I didn't want to break the bank. After searching for artists, my mom & I came across Lark's webpage. Immediately I was impressed with her variety of work & felt good vibes. After reaching out, we booked my bridal trial & I loved it! Lark was very responsive and insightful in selecting colors suitable for your skin tone. After the trial I had a few changes I wanted to make for the wedding & Lark was more than accepting! The day of the wedding, Lark arrived early & was extremely professional and welcoming! She stayed on schedule & was able to create beautiful makeup looks for myself, my mom & two bridesmaids! She helped keep me calm and relaxed. The makeup was stunning & lasted all day, even through 98 degree weather! Thank you for everything Lark!
Lark was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Lark gave us all the confidence in the world leading up to the wedding, and in what turned out to be a very hectic morning, she was so calming and patient. The bride and important women in our lives wanted to look like themselves, but enhanced, and Lark absolutely nailed it. We can't say enough good things about her.
It was such a great experience having my makeup done by Lark for myself and my bridesmaids. She listed to each of us and our likes, and worries (most of us had never had professional makeup or eyelash extensions before) and created looks that were true to each of us while looking cohesive. So many guests commented on how beautiful the makeup looked! I can't thank Lark enough for her flexibility, calm, and professionalism. It made the getting ready process a fun and relaxing experience which set the right tone for the entire day :) And, wow! that makeup had staying power through a couple of bouts of happy tears, eating, and drinking! It was perfect!
Lark was so fun to work with, and she really listened to what I wanted! She let me show her pictures of what I had in mind, and listened to my input after our trial-run. She worked around my schedule to make sure that I was able to do a trial while visiting Colorado, and was willing to wake up at 3am to come get me all fixed up for my sunrise elopement! She's funny, easy-going, and VERY talented. She made me feel absolutely beautiful and my make-up lasted all day, through hiking, sweating, mountain-top winds, and crying!! I highly recommend her!
My wedding day would not have been the same without Lark. She is extremely talented and an amazing makeup artist. I felt so comfortable, confident and beautiful with her makeup, and it held up throughout the whole night. All my bridesmaids, mother and mother in law were absolutely thrilled by how she listened to what they wanted and truly made everyone look stunning. Beyond her incredible makeup skills, she is a great addition to the getting ready crew. She was professional and caring and fit right in! Absolutely would recommend to anyone!
Lark did an amazing job on my wedding makeup. She was really flexible, which was so helpful as my wedding weekend was a bit chaotic! I felt very comfortable with her, and the look was just like I imagined! I would definitely recommend her.
Lark was an absolute job to work with! She was professional and friendly! She also did a great job discovering my vision and making it come to life!
Lark was soooooooo sweet! At our makeup trial she took my tiny suggestions really well and new exactly what I meant when I said I want to look like myself but more “elevated”. She even mixes her foundation to find the perfect match. Like whoa! Thanks to Lark I felt super confident at my wedding and my photos came out flawless.
I'm excited to leave a top-notch review for Lark to help spread the word about her, so you can be as lucky to have her for your makeup services as I was. For my wedding, I was looking for a warm-toned look to go with our burgundy colors and late-fall wedding theme, and she absolutely nailed it. I felt stunningly beautiful and also like myself. She helped me to feel comfortable with the whole process, and she was extremely knowledgeable and explained how she would tweak the look to go well with our specific photographer's style since she had worked with her previously. She helped me to get organized for the "getting ready" portion of the day by providing an outline and timeline for me to fill out to make things run smoothly, and her bright, warm, and friendly personality made her so lovely to work with. I could not have been more thrilled with how everything turned out in the photos.. everyone just looked. SO. AMAZING. Hands down, 100%, HIGHLY recommend Lark and her extremely talented and brilliant makeup artist skills!
Lark is absolutely amazing! She did my makeup for my bridal boudoir session and my wedding. She's professional, kind, and a wonderful listener. I loved having someone so authentic, genuine, and sweet on my wedding vendor team! My makeup was gorgeous for my boudoir session and lasted long after the shoot. Makeup on the wedding day was absolutely PERFECT- elegant, breathable, and showed up just right in photos. Same for my bridesmaids! They all love Lark and were asking her how far she travels; they all want her to do their makeup for their future wedding days, too! She showed up on time and ensured that our getting-ready timeline ran smoothly. If you are considering Lark's services for your wedding, an upcoming photo shoot, or something else-- I highly recommend her!
If you are looking for a true professional, look no further than Makeup by Lark! She was organized, on time, professional and delivered a spectacular service. I had her do my make up for a photoshoot. Not only was she a joy to work with, but she gave me a gorgeous, classy look. Her make up is also very good quality, so it stayed in place and looked fresh the entire day (well past my photoshoot). I will certainly be calling her in the future when I need my make up done. I highly recommend!
Lark was so wonderful to work with from start to finish. She was responsive, organized, and just generally delightful. I’m sure there are a lot of talented make up artists in the Denver area, but here are a few things that really set Lark apart.
- After our trial we wanted a few tweaks to our looks, and Lark was totally on board. I was nervous to give feedback, but she was super receptive.
- We are a gay couple, and even though it’s 2021, it can be a little nerve wracking finding “cool” wedding vendors. Lark was completely wonderful!
- We had a couple of people in our party (my partner included) who wanted more minimal/less feminine looks. Lark and Jordan knocked this out of the park and really helped everyone feel like themselves (while also looking amazing).
- Lark and Jordan were such good vibes to have around on the big day. They’re both so kind, funny, and really easy to talk to!
Lark went above and beyond to make sure everyone felt beautiful on my wedding day. Not only was she super professional and personable, but she also has amazing skills that can suit anyone's vision or personality.
I found Lark through another make-up vendor I had reached out to and she was the perfect fit for the style of make-up I was seeking for my wedding day. Lark does a fantastic job of accentuating natural beauty. It was important to me to still feel and look like myself on my wedding day, while still taking it up a notch! Lark was able to achieve this balance and my entire wedding party loved their make-up. Lark was professional and responsive throughout working with her. I would highly recommend using Lark for your next event! She is SO talented and a delight to work with.
I can't recommend Lark enough for any bride who doesn't generally wear alot of make up! She was so patient and listened during the trial, and the day of all the make up was perfect. She managed to enhance everyones natural features while also making us look special. Highly recommend she was so sweet and a general fun person to be with the morning of my wedding!
Lark is beautifully talented at what she does. I cannot recommend her enough for any special occasion.
Lark did a private make-up lesson with me before my wedding. She was amazing and I left beautiful. Not too much, just a better version of myself. I highly recommend her.
Lark did an amazing job for our wedding! She was responsive to emails and helpful during the trial! All of my bridesmaids and myself loved our makeup and I would definitely recommend Lark!
Lark was amazing to work with for my wedding. She was so flexible with all the changes and restrictions due to COVID. I didn't want really heavy makeup and she did such a fantastic job. It made me look like a beautiful version of myself instead of looking over the top. She provided me with tools and tips to make sure it continued to look good all night, and it did! I would highly recommend!
Lark did my bridal makeup and it was perfect for our wedding day! She asked for feedback after the trial and I was impressed with her follow up. All of the girls were pleased and everyone looked natural and not overdone. Highly recommend!
I had booked a different makeup artist for my wedding, and that artist had to cancel a week before my wedding because her daughter tested positive for COVID. I found Lark last minute through a makeup artist referral chain, and I am so thankful I did. She was gracious enough to move a different appointment that same day so she could have time to be the makeup artist for my wedding. She was extremely responsive, understanding, kind, and thorough. And even in being thorough she didn't send one extra email that didn't need to be sent, knowing the week prior to the wedding would be stressful. She traveled to Twin Lakes, CO and found my Airbnb (despite me giving her the address to a different airbnb down the street that a family member was staying in *facepalm*) and had great procedures for COVID to make sure we were all safe. She was calm on the day of, listened to each person she provided makeup to, and finished right on time for each person, even if that person was being particular. :) She also found time to provide lashes to a person that didn't let her know in advance. I loved the way my makeup turned out, and it lasted all day and night. And this is coming from someone who doesn't wear a lot of makeup-- I usually feel like a clown when I wear foundation. She really gave me the natural look that I wanted. Also, she provided me with tools to touch up my makeup throughout the day. I can't say enough good things about Lark. If you're looking for a makeup artist for any occasion, Lark is your girl.
Lark was truly wonderful -- I absolutely loved my makeup on my wedding day! I had never had my makeup done professionally, and she made me feel so comfortable and made the experience an amazing one despite how nervous I was. She wanted to get my look exactly right and the way I wanted it, and was willing to try different things until we did. She is so positive and just wonderful to work with!
Lark was AMAZING! She has an amazing eye, listened to my concerns/requests and was so friendly. There is something to be said about someone making you feel so comfortable on your special day and Lark is definitely that person. She is the best hype woman and made me feel like the most beautiful bride she had ever seen! I would highly recommend using her!
Lark was perfect! I was late in the game to pick a makeup artist and she went out of her way to accommodate me. She took my inspo pics and created the perfect look at my trial and on my wedding day - I was SO HAPPY with my bridal makeup.
Lark was absolutely amazing at my wedding. Coming from someone who puts on glam makeup each day, I was worried I wouldn’t find someone who I could trust to do my wedding makeup, but Lark killed it! Not only did she have extremely short notice, but turned out to also make time for dance lessons. She’s an amazing person inside and out and I am so glad I found her! She is absolutely the right choice no matter who you are and what the event is.
