Frequently Asked Questions
What is included in your bridal package?
My bridal package includes a personalized consultation upon booking and makeup application on your wedding day, including skin prep to ensure a flawless look. While I recommend a trial session to help us achieve your desired style, it’s completely optional if you prefer to skip it. You’ll have unlimited correspondence leading up to your wedding day, so feel free to reach out with any questions or specific needs!
How would you describe your approach to bridal makeup?
My approach to bridal makeup is about helping you feel like the best version of yourself. I focus on enhancing your natural beauty with soft tones and subtle techniques, so you look radiant without feeling overly done. I want to make sure you’re comfortable and happy, tailoring the look to match your style while keeping it fresh and timeless for your special day.
How far in advance should I book my trial?
Brides should ideally book their bridal trial about 2 to 3 months before the wedding. This gives you plenty of time to refine the look and make any adjustments, ensuring you feel great on your big day. If you have a specific vision in mind, booking even earlier can be helpful too!
Are your products hypoallergenic or suitable for sensitive skin?
Most of my products are suitable for sensitive skin, and I aim to use hypoallergenic and cruelty-free options whenever possible. However, for some looks that require extra performance and longevity, there may be a few products that don’t fully meet those standards. I always strive to find the best balance for your needs.
What techniques do you use to ensure longevity throughout the day?
To keep your makeup looking great all day, I start by prepping the skin based on its individual characteristics. I use layering techniques that create a solid base and enhance durability, allowing the makeup to stay fresh and beautiful from the ceremony to the last dance. This approach ensures you look good in person while also photographing beautifully, helping you feel confident and comfortable throughout your special day!
What products do you recommend for touch-ups?
To maintain your makeup throughout the day, it will be applied in a way that enhances its staying power. The bride will receive a touch-up kit with essential products for quick fixes, and each bridal party member will get a pre-loaded makeup puff and beauty blender to help with touch-ups as needed. This ensures that you’ll all look fresh and radiant from the ceremony to the last dance!
What are the benefits of airbrush vs. traditional makeup?
Airbrush makeup offers a lightweight, long-lasting finish that looks smooth and flawless, making it ideal for special occasions. It’s great for achieving a more natural look, as it creates an even layer without feeling heavy on the skin. Traditional makeup, on the other hand, allows for more versatility in textures and coverage levels, which can be built up or sheered out depending on your preference. Both options will last and look beautiful throughout the day, so the choice really comes down to your personal style and what makes you feel most comfortable!
What is your approach for brides with specific skin concerns?
I handle different skin tones and types by tailoring my approach to each individual bride. I’m trained and comfortable working with all skin tones, ensuring that everyone feels beautiful and represented. I start with a thorough consultation to understand your unique skin characteristics and any specific concerns you may have. For brides with specific skin issues, such as acne or sensitivity, I use products that are suitable for your skin type and can provide the necessary coverage without causing irritation. My goal is to enhance your natural beauty while ensuring your skin looks and feels its best on your special day!
Are there any skincare routines you recommend before the big day?
To prepare for your wedding day, I recommend starting a skincare routine at least a few months in advance, if you don't already have one. Focus on cleansing, moisturizing, and exfoliating to keep your skin looking fresh. Incorporating a good sunscreen is essential, too. If you have specific skin concerns, consulting a dermatologist or facialist for tailored advice can be very beneficial. Dermaplaning a couple of days prior to the wedding is also a great option to create a smooth, flawless canvas for makeup application.
In the weeks leading up to your wedding, try to avoid any new products or services that could irritate your skin. Instead, focus on staying hydrated, getting plenty of rest, and maintaining your routine. On the day itself, make sure to arrive with a clean, moisturized face, and I’ll take care of the rest!
Will you be the one doing my makeup, or will someone else?
I’ll be the one personally doing your makeup on your special day, ensuring that your look reflects your style and vision. I only book one wedding a day, so you’ll have all my focus. Depending on your needs, you have the option to add an assistant for larger bridal parties or tighter timelines, but I’ll handle your makeup personally to make sure everything goes smoothly!
Can you accommodate large bridal parties?
I can typically accommodate approximately six makeup applications, including the bride, depending on the desired looks for the bridal party. If you have a larger bridal party, you have the option to add an assistant to help ensure everyone is ready on time. Just let me know your needs, and we can make arrangements accordingly!
Are there travel fees or restrictions?
Travel fees may apply depending on the distance from my location, and I’m happy to discuss any specific travel details and restrictions to ensure everything goes smoothly. Just let me know your venue’s location, and we can go from there!
What is your cancellation policy?
My cancellation policy requires notification more than 60 days prior to the wedding date to receive a full refund of the deposit. Canceled services within the 90 days leading up to the wedding will not be refunded. If you need to cancel, please reach out as soon as possible. I understand that life can be unpredictable, and I’m here to help. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, feel free to ask!
