Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ)
Can you travel out of state for on-location shoots or destination weddings?
Yes, but I will need travel, hotel and, food accommodations.
​
Do you charge a travel fee?
Yes, the rate I quote you includes the travel fee.
​
How do you practice hygiene?
I'm trained to keep everything sanitized. Before each workday, I clean and disinfect all my tools and brushes. I also use antibacterial brush cleanser between each person.
​
How long does a makeup application take?
It varies, usually between 30 minutes to 2 hours. Once I know the details, I can give you a better estimate.
​
What makeup brands do you use?
I use professional brands like Ben Nye, Kryolan, and luxury brands like Lancôme and Maybelline. All brands in my kit photograph well and last long.
​
Do you do hair?
I do light hair styling. If it's complex, I can connect you with hair artists. Their rates and contracts are separate from mine.
​
What do I need to prepare a space for you?
Please have a space with an outlet for my tools, a table, and a tall chair. Let me know if these aren't available so I can provide my own and add more time for set-up if needed.
​
How is the booking process?
First, fill out the form on my website. If no more info is needed from you, I'll get back to you with a rate that includes the travel fee and touchup kit (for non-production clients only). For non-production clients, I'll need a retainer and signed contract to book.
​
How long have you been a makeup artist?
I've been a professional makeup artist for about 7 years. You can see my commercial work in my portfolio.
​
What's your cancellation policy?
If you cancel, there's a $25 fee rescheduling fee or you forfeit your retainer. No-shows lose their retainer and need to pay a 50% retainer to rebook.
​
What are your payment methods? Do you do payment plans?
I accept cash, card, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, and now offer payment plans through Affirm and Afterpay.
​
Do you offer makeup lessons?
Yes, 2-hour one-on-one lessons are $250. Group and online lessons are coming soon.
​
Do you do special effects?
Only basic ones like scars, bruises, and blood.
​
How long does setup take?
Around 5 minutes with my kit, 10 minutes if I bring my chair and table. I prefer arriving a bit early for set up if possible.
