frequently asked questions

  • Each makeup session starts with a comprehensive consultation, where we discuss your preferences, allergies, and desired look.

    I'll then provide a customized skin prep and full makeup application with optional lashes if desired at no extra cost!

  • Each makeup application typically takes around one hour. However, for wedding previews, we'll plan for 1.5 hours to ensure we have enough time for a thorough consultation and any adjustments needed to create your perfect look.

  • It all comes down to personal preference and what you are comfortable with!

    All makeup applications include lashes, though they are completely optional. I carry both individual and cluster lashes to ensure the most comfortable fit and application. Each set is customized to compliment your eye shape.

  • Absolutely! Self tanner and spray tans can give you that beautiful bronzy glow, especially if you're looking for that sun-kissed and radiant look.

    For all wedding makeup applications: If you plan on having a tan on the day of your wedding, coming to your preview with the same self tanner/spray tan is crucial. This way, we can ensure that the makeup looks beautiful and consistent on both the preview and wedding day!

  • Come with a fresh face, all cleansed and ready to go, using your everyday skincare routine.

    To make things even more exciting, feel free to show me any makeup looks you love from my Instagram/portfolio page. It'll give me a starting point and guide me in creating your perfect glam! But, don't stress if you're not entirely sure about the look you want. We'll kick things off with a comprehensive consultation to ensure we're on the same page before diving into the makeup magic!

  • I totally understand how important your wedding day is and I want to make sure you look and feel your best. That's why makeup previews are essential and included in the bridal package.

    During the preview, we'll chat about your makeup preferences and take all the time needed to perfect the look. It's a chance for us to get on the same page and ensure that you'll be stress-free and absolutely stunning when your special day arrives.

    You'll have the chance to see how the makeup looks on your skin throughout the day, allowing us to make any adjustments if needed. It's completely normal to take some time to get comfortable with the makeup, especially if you don't wear it daily.

  • I recommend booking your wedding preview no earlier than 2 months before your wedding day! This timeframe allows for us to make any tweaks if necessary and also ensure that the look you want for your special day stays fresh in your mind!

    I also recommend aligning your preview on a special occasion. Think about booking it for an event such as your bridal shower or any other celebration. This way, you can make the most of your glam and see how it wears and photographs throughout the day. It's like a dress rehearsal for your makeup, ensuring you look absolutely stunning and camera-ready for all the special moments.

  • As with any makeup application appointment, come with a fresh face, all cleansed and ready to go, using your everyday skincare routine - try to stick with your usual skincare routine, so we can see how the makeup sits on top of your skin consistently during both your preview and wedding day.

    It's also super helpful if you can share any makeup looks you like from my Instagram/portfolio page. It'll give me a better idea of what you're envisioning! But don't worry if you're not sure about the exact look you want; that's why I always do a consultation prior to the glam!

    Another great tip is to come with your hair done, possibly after your hair preview if you're having one, and wear a white (or the colour of what you'll be wearing on your wedding day) top. This way, you can truly see how everything comes together! Sometimes, missing pieces of the puzzle can make it hard to visualize the final look.

    Why wear white or the colour of your wedding outfit? It allows you to see how the makeup compliments your wedding attire without any interference from other colours. Sometimes, the colour of your shirt can subtly reflect onto your face, affecting how the makeup shows up. So, let's ensure everything looks perfect and coordinated for your special day!
