I had the pleasure of working with Glen Alen, a talented makeup artist and drag queen, who brought an extraordinary touch of creativity and inclusivity to our workplace event focused on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI). Glen's ability to transform ordinary individuals into stunning drag queens in less than 45 minutes was truly remarkable. His expertise in makeup artistry and drag performance shone through as he shared the importance and rich history of drag queens in our community.

Glen not only showcased his exceptional skills but also served as a captivating teacher, enlightening us on the artistry and significance of drag culture. His motivational and inspirational anecdotes from his own experiences in the industry added a profound depth to the event. It was like having a talented makeup artist, a captivating performer, and a life coach all rolled into one, strutting in heels and spreading positivity.

From the moment I reached out to Glen to discuss the event, he exuded professionalism and enthusiasm. His collaborative approach in tailoring the event to perfection was commendable. What stood out the most was his ability to go beyond the role of a performer and offer words of encouragement and motivation to the audience. Glen's presence was not just about entertainment; it was about empowerment and celebration of individuality.

I am immensely grateful for the experience Glen brought to the event and the lasting impact he left on all of us. Working with him was a delight, and I eagerly anticipate future collaborations to continue spreading the message of diversity and empowerment.

I was so impressed with Glen Alen's demonstration, I attended his class two weeks later. His style of makeup is

very different for drag and totally makes sense as he explains it in the instructional demonstration. Absolutely beautiful work.A great artist.

Glen Alen is a master of transformation and his applications are SUPERB and inspiring! After watching his tutorial at our Local 706 craft meeting, a few friends and I ran home to apply his method. What fun to get excited about playing with makeup again! We learned some great new techniques.

Glen Alen is a master of his craft!  I took his Icon Illusions class and was blown away by the transformations he created in front of me and my fellow classmates.  Glen breaks down his techniques in a clear manner and is very generous with his knowledge and experience.  Within a week I was able to take the tips and tricks Glen shared in his class and apply them on a job where I had to match an actresses’ double, I had a very satisfied client.  I highly recommend Glen’s class, not only is it informative but it’s so much fun!
