The studio

About the Makeup Studio

Solenne Atelier is a makeup studio in West Des Moines, Iowa, for bridal, prom, event, portrait, and lesson makeup.

What the studio is for

The work is professional makeup for specific days: weddings, proms, other celebrations, portraits, and lessons for people who want a routine of their own. It is not a cosmetics store. Product names are not the product. Application, timing, and a finish you can describe are the product.

The service list is the practical map. Each page says what the appointment is for and how to prepare. The quote, the start time, and travel depend on the date you send.

How the makeup is meant to feel

The approach is editorial in the quiet sense: proportion, light, and a face that still belongs to the person wearing it. Natural makeup and soft glam are the two finishes most requests will use. Full glam is available as a choice, not as a default. Trends are references, not orders.

A good appointment starts with the event and the photograph, then chooses products. It does not start with a look copied from a stranger. If a trial or a lesson happens, it should end with notes. Taste that lives only in someone’s memory is not a service.

How an appointment is set

Send the date, the venue, and who the makeup is for. The studio confirms the time and the quote with you.

The business address is 2037 Grand Ave, West Des Moines, IA 50265, United States. Include the venue in your request.

The finish in photographs
