Frequently Asked Questions

Updated

Bridal makeup is made to last 12+ hours and look great in photos. We use long-wear products, primers, and setting spray. As a result, it holds up through tears, hugs, heat, and dancing. Regular event makeup is lovely, but bridal is built for a wedding day marathon.
For weddings, yes! A trial lets you test your look, see how it photos, and tweak before the big day. Trials happen 3-5 months before your wedding. However, for prom or galas, a trial is optional but helps if you're picky or trying something new.
First, bring inspo photos that show your style. For bridal visits, also bring dress and veil photos. Wear a top close to your event outfit color. Put in contacts first if you wear them. Come with a clean face—no makeup. A list of skin concerns helps too.
For weddings, book 6-12 months out—at least 4-6 months because wedding season (March–June) fills fast. For prom, book 4-6 weeks ahead since prom season is busy. For other events, 2-4 weeks is usually fine, but earlier is safer during busy times.
Yes, some of our artists do airbrush. It's a fine mist that gives a smooth, flawless finish. Plus, it lasts 12-18 hours and is water-resistant—great for summer or outdoor weddings. However, it may not suit dry skin, so ask your artist if it's right for you.
Prices vary by artist because our makeup artists are independent and set their own rates. Contact your preferred artist for a quote based on your needs. Note that bridal is often more detailed than event makeup. Trials are usually priced like day-of service.
Yes! In fact, many clients book both for a full package. It's easy—you prep in one spot, and we time it to flow. For bridal parties, we can have multiple stylists work at once. We usually do makeup after hair so the look comes together.
