Testimonials


When it comes to makeup artists, there is no one I value more than Charlene Dunlap. As a fashion designer, my makeup is essential to my overall look. She is very professional, punctual and passionate about her work. Charlene is extremely organized, creative and artistic. I call her my personal mixologist. She is more than a MUA; she is an artist who creates walking, living masterpieces.
For 2 years, I’ve shown Charlene my fabric, explained my vision and she translates it into the perfect look be it sleek, glam, or chic. The end result: an overwhelming desire to make eyes at myself in the mirror, giddy with appreciation of my own features expertly framed, enhanced, and highlighted.
Her signature lips are to die for. Her work is not just makeup for the moment; my makeup remains flawless up to 3 to 4 days. She has told me several times to come in midweek to get a fresh face but I don’t because what I have lasts … LOL!!!!!!
Thank you for making me the best version of myself.
She is truly a pioneer in the makeup industry. I am extremely blessed to know her because she is definitely someone to know! We have become really close friends, Charlene is the MUA you can trust to make you look good and trust with your secrets. She is a professional as well as a friend.
I would highly recommend everyone to use Charlene Dunlap as your makeup artist for any event!

I’d followed and admired Charlene’s work on social media for years. I knew the next time I was in Albany that I’d sit in her chair for whatever the occasion. Recently, I got that long awaited opportunity and she did not disappoint. Charlene was efficient, timely, and personable. Further, she takes great pride in her work and satisfying her clients. She is truly, truly gifted! I can’t wait to see where her gift takes her, she’s destined for big things. I recommend her without reservation

My first time EVER wearing makeup Charlene knew I was nervous and apprehensive 😂 she knew exactly what I wanted. My makeup was perfect! She’s very professional and courteous!
— MYCHELLE ALEXANDER-ATKINS

Charlene Dunlap by far is one of the best! I’m a regular client of Charlene and each and every time I sit in her chair she gives me a new look. I never look the same! I tell her where I’m going, and if I want to be extra or super extra by the beat! I use her for professional photo shoots, appearances, events, and outings with family and friends. Charlene is professional, time conscious, pays attention to detail, affordable, organized, and most of all she beats her clients with love in every stroke!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars and beyond!!

There is so much that I can say about this amazingly talented MUA!! She is definitely an MUA for the stars!! She transformed my face into someone I did not recognize and that is literally an understatement! Charlene definitely knows makeup. She makes every one who enters the “throne room” feel great and leave her looking like a queen!!

As an entrepreneur, I am scheduled for events all the time and Charlene Dunlap has been able to give me a professional look that captures my eccentric style every single time. Her customer service is just as excellent as her artistry. She creates one of a kind looks in a very timely manner.
— Dwan Elani

I’ve only had one person to professionally do my makeup for special occasions. Thank you for always taking your time and ensuring my makeup enhances my face naturally ♥️
— Whitney Webb

I don’t normally wear makeup and when I do I like it to look as natural as possible. The first time Charlene ever laid hands on my face I told her “Don’t make me look like another person” lol. She said “Don’t worry”. I’ve been apprehensive about letting other people do my makeup ever since because I she has set a very high bar for the competition in my eyes. Thank you Charlene!

On November 16, 2019, Charlene did my makeup for my 30th birthday party. When I walked in, I was down and depressed because nothing I wanted was going right and my decorator scammed me out of $1,400. After I left Charlene, I felt a little better from our conversations and I felt beautiful after an entire day of crying. Char is not just a makeup artist, but she is my FRIEND as she is to many, whether she knew you before you sit in her chair or not. You’ll become one by the time she’s finished.

That day, I got the look that I asked for, the advice that I needed, and the spiritual cleansing my soul needed at that time. ♥️
— Carli Rae

I want to thank Charlene Dunlap for making me look like a true Queen on my Wedding day June 22 2019. She is so professional, her spirit is so beautiful. She truly cares about her clients and how they will look and feel. I love you and can’t wait to book you again.
— Kendra Williams

I absolutely love Charlene. My first encounter was 2019. My sister booked her as a gift to me for my birthday. I fell in love with her and can’t seem to let go. I appreciate how authentic she is, her professionalism, customer service, and most importantly how she makes me feel when I enter and leave after my session. Thank you for doing what you truly love to do. 💜 And babbbby if you haven’t gotten your brows microshaded please inquire because I absolutely love mine.
