West Des Moines, Iowa
Solenne Atelier offers bridal, prom, event, portrait, and lesson makeup for clients in the Des Moines area.
The studio
People search for a makeup artist when a specific day needs to look right in person and in photographs. A professional makeup artist plans for light, timing, and how the makeup should wear, instead of treating the face as a blank trend.
Solenne Atelier applies makeup for the day itself: bridal makeup, prom makeup, event makeup, photoshoot makeup, natural makeup, soft glam, and one-to-one lessons. Read about the studio for how an appointment is arranged.

Weddings
Wedding makeup has to survive a ceremony, portraits, dinner, and the kind of closeness that shows every line of eyeliner. Natural wedding makeup, soft glam, and a more polished full glam are different answers to that day, not three names for the same face.
The bridal makeup page covers trials, bridal-party timing, guest makeup, and what to send when you request the date.
Explore bridal makeupEvenings out
Prom makeup is planned around a dress color, school photographs, and hours of wear. Special event makeup covers the other nights: birthdays, engagement parties, formal dinners, and celebrations that are not a wedding or a prom.
Both can sit anywhere from a light finish to soft glam. The difference is the schedule and the room, not a single required look.
Finish
Natural makeup keeps skin, brows, and color close to what is already there. Soft glam adds more shape at the eyes and a clearer lip, without the full coverage of a stage face.
If you are deciding between them for a wedding or a portrait, start with those two pages rather than a mood board of unrelated looks.
The useful brief is the event, the clothes, the photographs, and what you want people to notice. A reference image beats a vague superlative.
Daylight, candlelight, and a camera flash ask for different powder, shimmer, and contrast. The same lipstick can look polite at noon and disappear at night.
A trial or a lesson ends with notes you can actually use: shades, placement, and what to skip next time.
Before the appointment
Good makeup starts on skin that is not surprised. In the week before a wedding, prom, or portrait, keep the routine you already know. A new acid, a brow tint, or a facial the day before is a common way to arrive irritated.
Bring a photo of the dress or the neckline, and say if you will be outside. If you wear contacts, glasses in the photograph, or have a product that has bothered your eyes before, mention it in the inquiry. More specific notes live on each service page and in the FAQ.
