About
Pro Make up artist and Licensed Esthetician of 10 yrs. Im proud to say I have my own Beauty Studio Located in Covina, minutes away from downtown and all major freeways.
I provide excellent in house and beauty mobile services to on site locations anywhere So Cal, the OC, IE, Ventura, High Desert, and San Diego areas.
I go after my clients needs and expectations for their event and listen carefully to how they want to look on their big wedding day, prom, quincerena, photo shoot and senior pictures. I also like to keep my clients looking the same with make up on as if they weren't wearing any at all.
Sometimes make up can really change a face, I consider my make up technique that I provide to my clients is a natural glam. I can still glam up my clients using high quality make up, highlight and contour without over doing it on them to make them look completely different or cake face. My clients have been very pleased with my work and have been recurring customers and I'd love the chance to have you as my next client book me today!

Makeup was one thing I knew I didn’t want to worry about on the day of the wedding, and it came out wonderfully. Lorena is a true professional, and has a passion for her work. If you’re thinking about hiring her, go for it – she's awesome she's did to my bridesmaids and to my daughter, a lot good feedback on their hair and makeup

Lorena did an amazing job, I could not have been happier with the way my hair and makeup turned out. She came to do my hair, but because I was running late she offered to do my makeup for me too. It was super last minute, but she was still prepared and did an amazing job. My prom hair and makeup was on point. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who needs their hair and makeup done. Great job, and she was very nice. She was able to make good conversation and it helped keep things from being awkward. I had a wonderful experience, and she helped make my prom night that much more memorable. Thanks again girl! Great job 👌👍👍
