#1 - How do I book your services?

 

First, you will need to confirm if your date of services is available. If I confirm that it is, you must then complete a brief questionnaire, sign a makeup service agreement and submit a deposit.

 

Deposits can be used toward your final balance!

 

#2 - How long does a makeup application take?

 

It depends on the service you're booking, but typically a single application can take 45 minutes to an hour long. That does not include time allotted for arrival and set-up, which typically takes 15 minutes.

 

#3 - Do you offer trials?

 

Yes! I require a consultation & trial for all brides. You may request a trial for any other type of makeup service as well.

​

#4 - When should I book my trial?

​

It is recommended that you book your consultation/trial 2-4 months prior to your event date.

 

#5 - Can I come to you to get my makeup done?

 

I typically travel to my clients for all appointments, but if it makes more sense for you to come to me, I do have a space in my home to provide makeup services.

 

Note: I am located on the far southeast side of Chicago.

 

#6 - Are there travel fees?

 

You are responsible for paying all parking/valet fees on the day of your appointment. Travel up to 50 miles round trip to venue/getting ready location is included in service fees. If I have to travel farther than 50 miles roundtrip, there will be a fee of $0.75 per additional mile.

 

#7 - Do you provide airbrush foundation?

 

Yes! I can provide a custom blend of Face Atelier OR TEMPTU silicone-based airbrush foundation at an additional fee of $20. This application can be as full coverage or as natural as you desire!

​

#8 - Do you have any minimums?

​

To book a Saturday wedding during peak season (June - September) a minimum of three makeup services are required.

​

#9 - Are there additional artists you bring with you?

​

If your event has more than 8 people needing makeup services, an additional makeup artist is required. If an additional artist is needed, the last chance to remove services from your invoice is 8 weeks prior to your event date.
