About your Makeup Artist
I have been making pretty faces for 21 years. My career as a makeup artist started when I joined the wonderful family of a #1 top selling cosmetics company. For 21 years, I have built experience working with friends, colleagues, other makeup experts and designers. Among whom include the famous Robert Jones, John Maxwell, and Danton, each of whom I am indebted to for the excellent trainings that they have provided and amazing techniques.
My first wedding was back in 1990. I loved being part of that special day and making the bride all that she could be. Her smile and confidence are what I remember most as she walked down the isle. You can have that same feeling as you walk down your isle on your day. Since then, I have participated in hundreds of weddings, all of which have been special to me.
I also have been honored by talented photographers in the Lehigh Valley Area, who have selected me to do makeup artistry on professional model shoots. Calm and collected, to bold and dramatic, I've done it all, and I know how to make your makeup just right to suit the camera, video and the lighting of your venue.
Currently, I work closely with several other vendors and experts. After you have seen what I can offer, please look at Elegant Lehigh Valley Weddings & Special Events, Inc. This is a great organization of very talented people, whom I have been proud to serve as Executive Director, previously, and President of the Board of Directors in 2010. There you will find reception sites, vidographers, photographers, and everything else you might need to complete your perfect day.

I had not tried Mary Kay cosmetics or skin care until my friend suggested it to me a few years ago while at a dinner party. I was vaguely interested, but was currently using the Lancome line of cosmetics and was happy with their product. Flash forward two years - I had gone from brunette to blonde and needed some make-up to enhance my new coloring. I was also planning to attend a black tie formal and needed a new "look". Darlene to the rescue! I spent two amazing sessions with Darlene, who explained the Mary Kay philosophy of great skin care and make-up. It made perfect sense, as my "mature" skin was looking dull and I had only minimal regimen - to get by. I purchased the cleanser, moisturizer and the day/night serums. My skin has never felt so soft and silky - plus I now have a dewy "glow" even with no make-up on! Needless to say, I am impressed with the product. The make-up is of amazing quality and you can see that the pigments are intense and glide on effortlessly. The color range of the cosmetics are also impressive and you have no excuse not to look your best 100% of the time - whether you are going to work or glamming it up for a big party! I was appreciative of the time Darlene took to make sure I understood how to apply my make-up and use the skin care properly. She is amazing at showing the "tricks of the trade" and I went to the formal looking as good as those supermodels - maybe better! Ok, perhaps not - but I felt like a million bucks. Everyone commented on my make-up and I must credit that to Darlene, who taught me well. I am a Mary Kay devotee for life now. many thanks, Darlene - I finally saw the light!

07Apr2011 - Hi Darlene, Thank you for yesterday. It was a blast and I loved the "new" look.
What did you put on my puffy's to hide them so well (maybe it was just the yellow stuff - I can't remember). Cool, see you soon!

A+++++- Darlene is a friend of my mom's from when my parents went on their honeymoon and they have remained friends. She did 9 ppl's makeup that day! It was great to have someone come to you and not have to add another stop in the day. We were all stunning!!!! Couldn't have asked for someone better
