At Lena Utmost Beauty, our professional makeup services are tailored to the individual client, the occasion and the type of finish they would like to achieve. Makeup can range from very light and natural through to polished evening looks, Smokey Eyes, Full Glam and Bridal Makeup. Skin tone and undertone, facial features, eye shape, outfit, hairstyle and the lighting or setting of the event can all influence the final look. Clients are welcome to bring inspiration photographs, but the makeup is adapted to their own features rather than copied exactly from another person.

​

Graduation Makeup

Graduation Makeup is designed for a polished result that works both in person and in photographs. The look can be kept fresh and natural or made more defined depending on your preference, outfit and graduation style. Because graduation days often involve photographs, ceremonies and several hours of wear, we aim for a balanced finish that remains comfortable while providing appropriate definition for photography.

​

Special Occasion Makeup

Special Occasion Makeup can be customised for birthdays, engagements, dinners, celebrations, parties and other important occasions. The level of coverage, eye definition, lashes and lip colour can all be adjusted according to the event and your preferred style. Some clients want an enhanced version of their everyday makeup, while others use the occasion as an opportunity for a considerably more glamorous look.

​

Natural / Light Makeup

Our lighter makeup option is designed for clients who want polished skin, subtle eye definition and a fresh appearance without the intensity of full glam makeup. The focus is on enhancing rather than heavily transforming the features. Coverage and colour are adapted to the individual client, making this a suitable option for daytime events, professional occasions, photographs or anyone who simply prefers a softer makeup style.

​

Makeup Tailored to Asian Features

Makeup should be adapted to individual facial and eye features rather than assuming that the same placement, colours and techniques work for everyone. For clients with Asian features, we consider factors such as eyelid structure, eye shape, facial proportions, skin tone and undertone when designing the makeup. The final result can still range from very natural to glamorous depending entirely on the client’s preference.

​

Evening Makeup

Evening Makeup generally provides stronger definition than daytime makeup and is designed to remain visible under evening and indoor lighting. Depending on your preferred look, this may include more defined eyes, additional complexion coverage, contouring, stronger lip colour or lashes. The result can range from sophisticated and understated to full glamour.

​

Makeup for Deeper Skin Tones

For clients with deeper skin tones, appropriate shade selection and understanding of undertones are particularly important for creating a balanced complexion. Foundation, concealer, blush, contour, highlight and lip colours are selected according to the individual skin tone rather than applying one predetermined palette. Eye makeup and the overall level of glamour can then be customised according to the occasion and the client’s preferences.

​

Smokey Eye Makeup with Lashes

Smokey Eye Makeup creates greater intensity and definition around the eyes through careful blending of deeper tones. The effect does not necessarily need to be black or extremely dramatic. Brown, bronze and other tones can also be used to create softer variations of the Smokey Eye. This service includes lashes to provide additional eye definition and complete the look.

​

Bridal Makeup

Bridal Makeup is individually planned around the bride, the wedding style, dress, hairstyle and preferred level of makeup. Some brides want a very soft and natural finish, while others prefer defined eyes, stronger complexion coverage or a glamorous result. The aim is not to impose one idea of what “bridal makeup” should look like, but to create a look that the bride feels comfortable wearing throughout an important and heavily photographed day. Clients preparing for their wedding can also combine makeup with our Hair Services so that hair and makeup can be coordinated in the same salon.

​

Event Makeup

Event Makeup is designed for occasions where a more complete and polished makeup application is required. The treatment can be adapted for celebrations, photography, corporate functions, parties and other events. Skin preparation, complexion, eye makeup, lashes and lip colour are considered together to create a cohesive finished look.

​

Bridesmaid and Formal Makeup

Bridesmaid and Formal Makeup can be coordinated with the broader style of a wedding, formal event or celebration while still being adapted to the individual person. For bridesmaids, the makeup can complement the bride’s chosen aesthetic without requiring every person to wear identical makeup. For formal occasions, the look can range from soft and elegant to more defined glamour.

​

Complete Your Hair, Lash and Brow Look

Makeup is often only one part of preparing for an event. Clients can combine their appointment with our Hair Services in Balwyn for a more complete hair and makeup preparation. For clients wanting additional eye definition, our Eyelash Extensions provide options ranging from Classic and Light Volume to Natural Volume, Volume/Hybrid Glamour, Mega Volume and Creative Effects. Clients who prefer to enhance their own natural lashes may instead consider a Lash Lift, including our Hydration Method and Korean Lash Lift. Brow treatments can also be planned before an event. Eyebrow Lamination can help reshape and position the natural brow hairs, while Facial Waxing, Eyebrow Threading and Tinting or Henna Brows can provide additional shaping, colour and definition.
