I had such a great experience taking a makeup class with Marlene! She is incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and talented. She took the time to teach me different techniques and explain how to apply makeup in a way that I could actually recreate on my own. I learned so much and left feeling much more confident doing my makeup. If you’re looking for a talented makeup artist in the Coachella Valley or want to take a makeup class to improve your skills, I highly recommend Beauty with Marlene. She also does beautiful bridal and special event makeup. You can tell she truly knows her craft. 💄✨

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Marlene was absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her enough! From the moment we met, she was so warm, kind, and easy to get along with. What started as a hair and makeup appointment quickly felt like spending time with a friend. She made me feel comfortable, confident, and completely at ease throughout the entire process. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also has such a wonderful personality. She listened to exactly what I wanted and brought my vision to life perfectly. I felt beautiful, natural, and completely myself on my wedding day. One of the best compliments I can give is that I genuinely hope to see her again. Whenever I'm back in the Palm Springs area, I fully plan on reaching out just to say hello! Thank you, Marlene, for helping make my wedding day so special. I am so grateful for your talent, kindness🤍

Marlene did an amazing job with my makeup! I couldn’t believe how beautiful she made me look and feel! She knew exactly what I needed, and made me look so natural and classic. She explained every step along the way and went out of her way to do my makeup on her day off! I would highly recommend everyone I know to go and see Marlene! She’s top notch and beyond amazing!! I will definitely have her do my makeup again in the future!

Marlene was amazing. She did my bridal hair and make up. I had to find someone last minute to do my mom and bridesmaids hair and she pulled it off without a problem. I will definitely be using her again for any future hair and make up needs.
