Yes! I have done bridal parties of 10 people before without hiring my assistant, this is achieved by allowing our timeline to begin in the earlier part of the morning. We just need to have time management in place. For parties larger than 10, I require a second artist.
I use many! People have a wide variety of skin types and features. In order to accommodate all of these important factors, I use a wide range of brands! Anything from MAC, Benefit, Too Faced, Tarte, It Cosmetics, Makeup Forever, and Estee Lauder, to Charlotte Tilbury.
Yes- they absolutely are! And they are reusable! I have a wide range of styles to choose from between the most natural lashes to the most glamorous, there is something for everyone.
Like other wedding vendors, I typically book about a year in advance. Peak season wedding dates are typically May through October. During those months, I book a year or more in advance.

Of course, if I can accommodate your needs I will. I understand that life happens and you can't always book a year in advance. Feel free to email me and enquire about your date.
Only under extreme circumstances will I use your own makeup (severe allergies, etc). My insurance only covers products within my own kit, so for safety reasons, I use makeup from there only.
No, pricing is firm. All prices reflect my training, kit costs, skill set, tools, and time.
I will arrive a bit early to our determined start time to ensure I am setup and ready to go. From there, I will work with each client receiving services to create a custom look for them. Of course, I will take a bit of extra time with the bride to make sure things are perfect! I bring with me: a full makeup kit, chair, table, and lighting system. I prefer to setup near a window or natural light for best results.
The bridal price reflects my time, talent, tools, professionalism and skills. This is also a luxury service that offers skin care prep, a completely personalized makeup application, lashes, and a touch-up kit for reapplying lip products before your pictures or ceremony! Creating unique and customized looks is one of the most important things to me.
Sanitation is so important! I use a multi-step process to clean not only my brushes and tools, but my products as well! Brushes are deep cleaned (Cinema Secrets professional grade makeup brush cleaner which kills 99.99% of all bacteria.) Powder products are sprayed with 70% isopropyl alcohol, and any cream products are taken out using a stainless-steel spatula and tray. Disposable mascara wands, eyeliner wands and lip wands are also used.
No, it's not a requirement but I do strongly encourage you to book a preview appointment. This is a great time to meet face-to-face, and go in depth about your skin type, makeup preferences, and to nail down every product and technique used to create your desired makeup look. This also serves for a huge time and stress saver day-of your wedding by eliminating any guess work.
No, at this time I only offer traditional makeup application. I prefer the look and feel of my brushes/ sponges, and traditional makeup.
