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?

Depends on the amount of people. Some weddings only require a single hair stylist and makeup artist and some require additional staff.

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

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

Proper prepping of the skin with proper skincare is important and one of our talented estheticians can help with that process prior to the wedding day. Primers are always important when starting the makeup. We use higher quality products and making sure the bride has well applied makeup with contrast will help the makeup last and look good in photos. Proper contouring is also important. We recommend our lipstick seal as well.

Makeup will take 1:00-1:15. We are flexible depending on the brides requests on how long we will be onsite for.
