Question 1

Do you have a client minimum?

Accepted Answer

Sure do. It's Bride plus 3. That can be all Bridesmaid's or Mom's, Grandmother's or whomever is conducting the ceremony. Typically it's a mix. Anything less would be a Bride Only request and I'll make your guest an add on. There is a small savings upon meeting my minimum!

Question 2

Do you do makeup for same sex marriages?

Accepted Answer

Yes, this typically requires 2 set ups on the big day, one for each getting ready location. We will work out a timeline that budgets that in and we will not miss a beat! Wedding trials can be booked separately or one after the other, your choice.

Question 3

Can I book my trial on the day of my Engagement Session with my Photographer?

Accepted Answer

I can't tell you what to do but I don't suggest it. A bride rarely ever wants the same look repeated on her wedding day, especially when it comes to her makeup look. Many moving parts to consider and your trial shouldn't be limited by time constraints. We should be in the zone losing ourselves in all the details, picture references and that should be our main focus!

Question 4

Do you travel for destination weddings?

Accepted Answer

Uh ya! You pay my way and I'll be there. Destination weddings are a hoot! You get to share your big day in an incredible place with all your favorite people. But, there are many moving parts and maybe a language barrier and possibly a clash in styles, practices, methods and culture. Relieve the stress and put me in your pocket.

Question 5

How long does the makeup take?

Accepted Answer

Brides range from 45 minutes to 1 hour 15+. Guests take about 45 minutes. That includes a reset and brush sanitation. I always schedule more for the bride to accommodate for any interruptions and to make sure all the details are perfect.

Question 6

How long will my makeup last?

Accepted Answer

Your makeup will last the entire day. I use a variety of professional waterproof and water resistant products plus a hearty dose of setting spray.

Question 7

Is a makeup trial required?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially if you're local! This is a valuable opportunity for me to get to know you, your style and us hash out some yummy wedding details. Bring photo references and together we will design and apply your wedding day look. By the time we part you will know exactly how it's all going to go down.

Question 8

Do you also do wedding hair?

Accepted Answer

There just isn't enough time in the day. No, seriously. You need sleep. My suggestion to you is to hire a dedicated wedding hair stylist. I work closely with some fabulous professionals I can refer. Please let me help make that connection!
