My ultimate aspiration is that every client leaves the DLHSE empowered with the weapon of beauty and femininity.

I was born and raised in Chicago, Illinois. I started doing makeup in December of 2018, moved to Oregon for college in 2020, and since then developed exceptional skills in makeup theory and application. As of 2025 - I’ve since moved and settled in Nashville, TN. With that, I hope to create a comfortable and uplifting environment for my Dolls, listening attentively to your desires, providing expert advice and tailoring my techniques to highlight the beauty that is unique to you.

Makeup is a powerful tool for enhancing natural beauty and promoting confidence. DLFCE embraces femininity, timeless elegance, and morality through the art of makeup. I aim to empower and inspire women, especially those in underrepresented communities. My brand is especially committed to serving women of color, recognizing our cultural influence, deconstructing colorism and harsh beauty standards.

I currently hold 2 Makeup Certifications, 8 years of personal experience, and 1 year of professional experience.

First, I’ve attended and completed BASIC TRAINING with M.A.C Cosmetics in Seattle, Washington. I was successfully Certified in Eyelash Application prior to the move Down South.

Certificate from Master Makeup Academy awarded to Lauren Mackey for completing requirements as a Master Makeup Artist, signed by Josue Martinez, with a gold seal at the bottom right.

Next, I attended the Master Makeup Academy PRO Makeup Certification 2024 Tour in Chicago, Illinois. Within a nationally recognized institution - under the artist Josue Martinez of Los Angeles, California.
