Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT IS A TRIAL AND WHY DO I NEED ONE?
A trial is a moment for us to get to know each other to ensure we are both the right match. During our time together, we discuss and create your ideal look, alleviating any stress on your wedding day.
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE OF MY WEDDING SHOULD I DO MY TRIAL?
I recommend doing your trial about 4-6 weeks in advance, but can accommodate requests for any other timing.
DO YOU USE MY MAKEUP? CAN YOU?
My kit is stocked with rigorously tested professional grade products to make sure that they will hold up under any conditions. If there is a particular product that you love or want to use, feel free to let me know and we can discuss what is the best option for you on your day.
WHAT IS AIRBRUSH MAKEUP?
To give a natural look with a flawless finish, we have airbrush makeup — a special formulation of makeup that is applied using an air compressor and an airbrush gun. It feels very light on the skin and photographs beautifully.
WHAT IF I HAVE A LARGE PARTY?
In the case of a large party or an event that needs more hands that just mine, I will bring in artists of my caliber who will prepare everyone’s looks to a stunning quality, and to punctuality as well.
WHERE DO YOU TRAVEL TO?
I am based in Chicago, but I love to travel and am willing to travel worldwide to accommodate clients!
IS A TIP/GRATUITY INCLUDED?
There is no gratuity included in my pricing, and it’s completely voluntary on your part. I also offer to add an industry standard of 18% to your final invoice total so that you don’t have to worry about extra cash the day of.
WHAT METHODS OF PAYMENT CAN I USE?
I accept cash, credit cards, Paypal, or Zelle QuickPay.
HOW DO I ENSURE THAT MY DATE IS BOOKED?
To secure your date, you must have a signed contract as well as pay a 30% retainer fee. The final balance will be due two weeks before your date.
