FAQs

  • WEDDINGS: Typically with weddings you want to book 12-18 months in advance to secure your date. That means, if you love my work, reach out as early as possible to make sure your date is still available! Note that in order to save your wedding date, there is a required $100 retainer fee and signed contract due within 1 week of booking. The $100 retainer fee will go towards your total package amount.

    EVENTS: Reserve your event date at any time. Note that the full event amount with a signed contract are due upon booking in order to save the date.

  • I do not have a minimum service requirement, but I do have a maximum of 6 services by myself! If you require more than 6 services, you will also need to book an extra makeup artist. I require this due to making sure quality is not lost in the small timeframe we may have together on the wedding day.

  • No! I am trained solely on makeup services. I have met and worked with amazing hair stylists and wedding vendors in the past that I can recommend to you.

  • I do not offer bridal trials prior to booking with me. This is because I know you will be 100% happy with the makeup services I provide. If you are not happy, PLEASE COMMUNICATE with me and I will make any changes necessary to your makeup to make you feel beautiful for your wedding day.

  • Your bridal trial appointment will be scheduled 2-3 months prior to your wedding. It may seem like this is late, but a lot can change prior to your wedding (hair color, self tan, makeup vision, etc). The idea of the bridal trial is to mimic the makeup on your wedding day and it's important to have the look we create to be fresh in both of our minds!

    Your bridal trial appointment will take place in my home in Kalamazoo, MI. You will hear from me 2-3 months prior to your wedding to have this appointment scheduled.

  • I am a traveling makeup artist, which means I come to you! This does require me to have travel fees associated with my cost. My travel fees are $0.50 per mile, round trip, starting at 60 miles outside of Kalamazoo, MI. This means you will only be charged for any miles travel is required outside of 60 miles from Kalamazoo.

  • NO! You are paying for my expertise and use of all of my products I have in my kit. If you find a lip color or eyelash style you love, feel free to either let me know and I will buy those for your wedding or bring them with you and I can apply them. I can assure you that I have a color or style for you in my kit!

  • Bridal makeup will take 1.25-1.5 hours to complete and bridesmaid makeup will take about 1 hour to complete. This time frame also includes sanitization and prep time for the next client.

  • No I do not offer airbrush makeup and here is why! Airbrush is another application method for makeup, like using a brush or a sponge. It tends to be a one size fits all application. Makeup is NOT a one size fits all and requires customization based on your skin type and tone. I utilize high end makeup products customized to work on any skin type to ensure your makeup is going to last you throughout all of the sweat and tears you will experience on your big day!

  • Lashes are included with EVERY client booking! I love using lashes because they really elevate the makeup look and make your eyes pop in photography. I have many different types of lashes, ranging from very natural to dramatic glam. You are allowed to decline eyelashes if you would like, but there will not be any additional discount off of the package prices.

  • All of my bridal bookings include a touch up kit for both the bride & bridal party members! There are some differences with the touch up kits I provide. The bride will receive the following: lip color sample, full sized eyelash glue, powder sample, powder puff & makeup sponge (used during makeup application), makeup wipe, mint and any necessary applicators. Bridal party members will receive all of the items above except the powder sample and the full sized eyelash glue.
