About

*** $400 minimum for Santa Barbara area *** I provide makeup and hair for small weddings as well as people going to weddings or events. Please see my website for rates. Rates for event makeup similar. I have a $375 minimum for Santa Barbara area as I have to travel 2 hours to get there. Thank you for your consideration. I am a makeup artist and wardrobe stylist for red carpet, photography, weddings & special events currently located in Paso Robles, previously in Los Angeles & Santa Barbara. I love the creativity and I love seeing how happy people are with the results of my work whether it is through makeup application or helping someone go through their wardrobe. While I have experience with airbrush makeup, I prefer to use conventional makeup as I find I can get just as consistent of coverage. All of my makeup and brushes are sanitized between uses. I have an extensive portable kit including lights, chair and table. I can accommodate smaller wedding parties and often do wedding guests, MOB, MOG etc. pricing for weddings is based on number of people, services required, time of day, distance from where I live, so please inquire.

It was a great experience, and she worked with us last minute. We hired her for my best friend's wedding, and my friend, her mom, and I were really happy with the make up.

Punctuality and responsiveness were also excellent! After a failed hair trial elsewhere, Lennie gave me every confidence that she would make me camera ready for my wedding😊 Her communication was excellent and I was very comfortable from the start. She did my hair and makeup and also my sister’s hair and we were both so very very happy! She is so skilled, took her time and did such an awesome job – can’t say enough about her!!

Had a lovely time working with Lennie. She did HMU for myself, mom and my little cousin for a wedding where all of us were part of the bridal party. She was very easy to work with and made the experience from start to finish seamless. What a professional who knows her craft well, no wonder we all got great compliments! 😊🥰

Lennie from The Cyrano Effect is absolute magic! I booked her for a wedding in Paso Robles and she completely knocked it out of the park. She blended my extensions seamlessly into a gorgeous partial updo that lasted all night, and my makeup looked flawless both in person and in photos. Beyond her incredible skills, Lennie has the warmest, most fun energy and made getting ready so relaxing. If you need event hair and makeup on the Central Coast, do yourself a favor and book her immediately!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing varies depending on the services required. Tip is not expected but always appreciated. The rate can vary depending on the scope of assignment, location (due to travel time) and duration of the job. I am happy to quote any job. If you wish to come to me, the pricing drops significantly.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
For makeup, I like to see a few photos of what someone has in mind and we discuss their skin, their desired look, their style etc before proceeding. For styling, I begin with a two hour consult that includes image and lifestyle assessment and an evaluation of existing wardrobe and from there we decide together how to proceed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have worked as a model since childhood and have been in the film business in various capacities for over 30 years. I did makeup and wardrobe styling in the late 80s and early 90s and returned to styling around 2008 and returned to makeup in 2016.
