Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I book my wedding makeup appointment?
I usually recommend having your wedding makeup appointment 1-3 months before your wedding.
What is your pricing, and what does it include (e.g., travel, consultation, etc.)?
- Bridal makeup is $250 (60 min). That includes luxury skin prep treatment for the face, neck, and shoulders, a set of faux lashes, makeup application, and a personalized touch-up kit on your wedding day. Travel is included for up to 30 miles from zip code 02806. Over 30 miles, the travel is based on the IRS mileage rate, which is currently $0.70 per mile.
- Makeup Consultation (trial) is $175 (90 min) done in my Barrington studio. We will talk about your vision, and create a look together that you love! I will write all products used on a face chart and take pictures of the finished look to use as a reference on your wedding day.
What products do you use for long-lasting makeup, especially for an all-day event?
For an all-day event it is very important to use light layers to create the longest-lasting makeup look. I always start with skin care products appropriate for your skin at that moment. I use a lot of professional makeup that is made for HD cameras and intense lighting. Some of the brands include: RCMA, Kryolan, Skindinavia, and Viseart. Professional brands tend to last longer than consumer makeup which is made to last you only about 6 hours.
Can you create a custom look based on my wedding theme or my personal style?
All of the looks I create are custom to the client. Makeup is a very personal thing and no two faces are the same. So, together we will build a look based on your vision while making sure colors are placed in a way that best compliments your face shape and accentuates your features.
How long will it take to do my makeup on the wedding day?
I schedule 60 minutes for the bride. I will pamper you with your skin treatment including facial massage and you can sit, breathe, and take a moment for yourself.
Do you have experience with different skin tones and types?
Absolutely! The great benefit of starting in retail cosmetics is that you experience all skin tones, textures, and ages. I worked with multiple brands, in a spa as an esthetician, and backstage at several fashion shows. I have truly worked with every skin imaginable.
What happens if there’s a last-minute change in the bridal party or timeline?
Let’s face it…things happen. Changes can be made to the timeline if it is more than 30 days from the event date. If it is less than 30 days and someone is canceling, you can ask a friend or family member if they want to take that vacant spot. ( I have had this happen several times).
Do you offer makeup services for the bridal party and other guests?
Special Occasion makeup (including bridal attendees) is $125/person.
Can you help with touch-ups throughout the day or do you offer a touch-up kit?
I do offer extended-day services for $100/hr. I will do touch-ups, and makeup changes, and help make sure you are camera-ready at any moment. I do, also, give the bride a little touch-up kit.
Do you offer any pre-wedding skincare tips to ensure my makeup goes on smoothly?
Yes! During our initial phone conversation, we will discuss your skincare routine and talk about any concerns you may have. If needed, I will make recommendations for a routine. Once we meet for your consultation, I will analyze your skin and make any additional recommendations.
