Your Questions, Answered.

  • Makeup application appointments are about 1 hr, no need to ever bring your own makeup, as my kit includes everything we need for a full range of complexions and skin types.

  • Come dressed in whatever is comfortable.

    Button down shirts, zip ups, or shirts with wide stretchy collars are helpful to avoid makeup transfer before changing into formal attire.

    Bringing along a picture of your event outfit is always helpful.

  • If you know the source of your allergen then we will do the best to avoid it. If you have makeup that you love that doesn’t bother you bring it.

  • We’ll start with a conversation about your goals, preferences, and get a sense of your style. We will then cleanse and prep your skin. And, now the magic happens. Sit back, relax, ask questions, zone out, or chit chat as we work together to design your look.

  • Hygiene is important. I sanitize all tools, brushes, and disinfect between sessions.
