FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Do you have a “Hair & Make Up” Package?

In my experience, great results happen when there is a specialist chosen separately for hair and for make up. My expertise is in High Definition Bridal Beauty Make Up. So no, I do not have a 'hair and make up package' as I am an esthetician and specialize in skincare and clean beauty. Hair skills and make up skills are very different techniques and have different demands. There are many vendors who are able to offer a hair and make up package if they are working in teams. I am a one-woman show and you are guaranteed to get my full attention and focus on the day of your wedding!

Why do you require a “Make Up Design & Trial Run” Session?

My ‘Make Up Design & Trial Run’ sessions are created to give us a chance to get to know one another. I take my role as one of the last people you see before you step into your dress very seriously and knowing I am the right "vibe" for you is a big deal. It is a chance for me to design the make up and allow you to experience how it wears and feels throughout the day. It is also an opportunity to adjust, re-do, and alter the design to get you to feel most comfortable for the actual wedding day look. The session is 90-minutes long and created to ease your mind so you know that the last moments before you step into your dress will be as serene and as relaxing as possible while you are in my make up chair. My goal for this session is that by the time we get to your event, I have your back, and you will know that everything we discussed will be executed flawlessly on your wedding day. Note: no matter how beautiful you feel on your trial session, you will feel ten times more radiant on your wedding day - that's the truth!

Can I Come to You or Do you come to me on my wedding day?

I can do either! I have a full service skincare and wellness studio set up and ready to go. My studio is a private suite set up for you to relax and quiet your mind before you have to be at your bridal room to step into your dress. I can travel to you too. If you want me to come to you on your wedding day, my on-location rates are 2.5X more than my in-studio rate (per bride) due to the complexities of time, distance and make up station set up: tables, lights, make up kit- the works! I also offer group packages for bridal parties up to four people. Prices vary.

Do you offer pre-wedding day services other than the MDTR?

Absolutely! I always invite my brides for a nourishing “Signature Feel Good Facial” before and after the big day to keep it healthy and glowing. If you need brow shaping and any type of waxing before and after the event, I would be happy to assist you with any of those skincare needs. Getting your skin in its optimal state is my top priority. The make up looks a million times better when the skin underneath the make up is happy, healthy and nourished!

Do you airbrush and apply false eyelashes?

YES! Every high definition make up session is applied with a silicone based ultra lightweight airbrush foundation- so light it feels like a second skin! Natural strip lashes are also included with an option to upgrade to faux-mink lashes for extra oomph. It's waterproof and photographs so much better than mascara alone. You will also receive the lip color that we use for your look to have for touch ups throughout your event.
