Frequently Asked Questions

WEDDINGS are on average booked anywhere between 12-18 months in advance. By waiting, this can allow others to book your date first. I only take one wedding per date, so this runs on a first come first serve basis. To book, a bridal contract must be signed and a 50% non-refundable retainer must be obtained. If both are not received, your date is not secured by me.

NON-WEDDING appointments must be secured with a 50% non-refundable retainer.

YES AND NO. It is preferred that you get as close to the exact number of people as possible, but it isn’t “set in stone” when you book. You will have up to 6 months before the wedding date to finalize people.

HOWEVER, it is important to get a final number ASAP because it will help me determine if I need to hire a secondary artist.

*I REQUIRE A MINIMUM OF 4 FULL SERVICES TO BOOK*

1-2 MONTHS BEFORE THE WEDDING DATE is the time span of when the bridal makeup trials are done. This may seem too late, but A LOT of things can change if they are done any sooner (ex: hair color, self-tanner, makeup vision, etc.) The closer this is to the actual wedding, the fresher it will be in both our minds!

THE LOCATION will be held at the convenience of your home! I am a traveling makeup artist and do not have a studio, so I will come to you!

PREVIEWS on average will take between 1.5-2 hours depending on the Bridal Package chosen or the look desired.

YES I CAN! I can travel anywhere you need me to, but please take into account that there may be a travel fee. I include 30 miles round trip from my personal residence to the location. After the 30 miles, I do charge an additional $1 per mile.

PLEASE CONTACT YOUR VENUE about this. Some venues have restrictions on how early they will let people arrive.  This sometimes does not allow hair and makeup to have enough time to complete all the services depending on how large the bridal party is. If the venue cannot accommodate this, we may have to think of an alternative location such as a hotel or Airbnb. Please ask your venue in advance about this!

I WILL PROVIDE EVERYTHING. You are paying me for my expertise, product knowledge, and the products that I use in my makeup kit. Just sit back, relax and get pampered!

BECAUSE OF LIABILITY REASONS, NO. I can only apply the makeup that I personally have inside of my kit. I do not know how your personal makeup has been used previously or how it layers with the products that I have. I do not want anything I apply to cause an adverse reaction or the results not coming out as I intended because of this.

CLASSIC PACKAGE will take between 45-60 minutes for the bride and everyone else.

LUXURY PACKAGE will take between 1-1.5 hours. 10-15 minutes of this will be the skincare prep.

I WILL PROVIDE ONE. If your bridal party is over 8 people or the timing is too tight, I will need to hire an additional artist. This will not only let you get some more beauty sleep in the morning, but will also ease both our minds to make sure all the applications get done on time! 

YES, their time is as valuable as mine! As I mentioned previously, having them is going to make the day 100% less stressful! The fee will be $125 per additional artist. Additionally, there is a travel fee if it applies, even if we carpool. Again, compensation for their time is essential!

NO I DO NOT.  Airbrush is just another method of application. The liquid foundations I use will last just as long, if not longer throughout the day. In all honesty, I think using a brush and sponge method looks just as good, if not better!

WE WILL DISCUSS THIS IN DEPTH before your bridal makeup trial takes place. I will ask you if you are allergic to any ingredients in advance or sensitive to anything that you know of. I will also ask if anyone else in your bridal party has concerns about this as well at that time!
