Someone once said to me,

‘If you can make money from doing what you love. Then you will never have to work again’...

this is my life.

As a passionate & artistic individual, I find joy in all aspects of the makeup world. Being part of film making process, helping ladies reconnect with themselves through 1-2-1 lessons, sharing the excitment of my brides wedding day, or creating a makeup looks for campaigns. Its all makeup, and I know my creativity brings joy to others.

Kind Words from my Clients

I hired Zena to do my makeup for my wedding and I couldn’t be happier, Zena is by far the best makeup artist I have encountered.

She was very professional , fun and listened to everything I said as to what I wanted and didn’t want. I looked stunning, my makeup was flawless and I received so many compliments.
Can’t imagine going to any other makeup artist other than her !

I would highly recommend her and hire her again without a doubt!

Zena was lovely and just who we needed for our MUA and hair stylist for my wedding.

She listened to us all and went with our styles as well as suggesting looks which worked out great. She was great the morning of my wedding.

I shot for a Bollywood feature film in London and I loved everyday of it cos my morning would start with sitting in Zena's make up chair!

She made me look and feel beautiful and she was so much fun to work with!!! She did her homework, read the scenes and created different looks for my character. After a while I stopped looking at myself cos I knew I was in Zena's expert hands!! Overall I loved working with her and can't wait to get back to London and work with her again!! Manifesting!!
