2. What's your experience as a bridal hair & makeup artist? How many brides are in there in your portfolio?

It is the greatest honor to be chosen as the Makeup Artist for one of the best and most important day in someone's life. Throughout my Professional Makeup Career I have had the pleasure of wearing this Badge of Honor nearly 400 times servicing Brides and Bridal Parties.

I offer three different Bridal Party Packages; Do & Go, Half Day and Full Day. My most popular package is the Full Day Bridal Package. Brides who choose this packag, love knowing that no matter if they cry, sweat or get oily, Ill be right there for touchups so every photo taken will be flawless

4. Do you have a team of assistants or will you be the only artist that day? What will happen if you're sick or have an emergency on the wedding day?

Throughout my career as a Professional Makeup Artist, I have never been sick or had an emergency on the day of a wedding. In the event that scheduling is tight or I have a large party, I will bring an assistant to help.

5. Do you charge a travel fee? For what distance? What does that cover?

There is a travel fee applied any time I need to service a client outside of my makeup studio. Travel fees vary. I travel up to 100 miles by car. For destination weddings, air fare and hotel stays are at the expense of the Bride

6. Can the bride book a wedding makeup trial appointment and will you also do a trial before the wedding?

Bridal Trials/ Consultations are highly recommended because this particular appointment is dedicated to getting the bride's wedding day look down.

7. What beauty products do you use and would you be open to the bride using her own make-up?

I have a wide variety of prestige products to drug store brands. Each product serve a purpose for different skin types, skin ages and skin tones. I am always open to a bride bringing her own products but 100% of the time, I already have it in my kit.

8. How can you make the bride's wedding makeup last and look good in photos?

Skin assessment and skin prep is key to making any makeup application last.

9. How long will makeup take on the day and how long will you be staying for on the day?

On the big day, I typically spend an hour on the bride and 30-45 minutes per person in the bridal party. Depending on what Bridal Package that was selected at booking, determined how long I'll stay once makeup is complete.

10. What is your cancellation and/or refund policy?

According to my cancellation policy, deposits are non refundable and any booking cancelled within 30 days of the wedding is still due in full. In the event that a natural disaster occur, payments are applied to future dates. Lastly, (God forbid) a wedding gets called off and the bridal package was paid in full, the deposit amount will be kept and remaining balance will be refunded.
