Question 1

How long does a full face of makeup take?

Accepted Answer

Depending on how detailed the requested look is, application time can range from 30 to 60 minutes.

Question 2

How long will my makeup wear?

Accepted Answer

Depending on your final choice of makeup look (ie. dewy vs matte) the wear time of your makeup can range from 6 to 12 hours without touch ups.

Question 3

How do I increase the longevity of my dewy makeup look?

Accepted Answer

For a dewy skin look, blotting often with tissue to dull shine, not rubbing or scratching the skin when it itches, but only tapping using your finger pad if you have a facial itch, will help dewy skin wear through the final dance.

Question 4

How should I prep my skin?

Accepted Answer

For brides, our artist recommends exfoliating every day, the week before your wedding. For the 3 days leading up to your event, you may stop exfoliating and simply wash and moisturize your face as normal. On the day of your event, please arrive with your face washed using a facial soap cleanser, and moisturized with your favorite facial moisturizer.

Question 5

What is the best way to remove my makeup before bed?

Accepted Answer

Our lead artist recommends using a 3 step process to remove makeup. Start with an oil based cleanser or facial oil to break down the products. Then rinse and follow up with a standard facial cleanser/soap. Finally, end your routine with your favorite moisturizer, before drifting off to sleep.

Question 6

How soon before an event should I book makeup?

Accepted Answer

As soon as you know what day your event is, you should book makeup to reserve that date. However, I recommend scheduling your trial run within 1-3 months of your event, as weather conditions and seasons can affect the way makeup wears throughout the day.

Question 7

Do I have to pay for a trial run?

Accepted Answer

For brides there is no charge for a trial run, it is included in your price. We will have several days out of the month. You shall be able to select one of these days at your discretion at the time if booking.

Question 8

Why do you have a mix of brands in your kit?

Accepted Answer

Our lead artist has specifically curated a selection of products that they know perform well on various skin types, in various lighting environments, as well as in photos & real life. No brand is the best in every single category of products, but we handpicked our favorites.

Question 9

Do you have products for sensitive skin?

Accepted Answer

The Lead MUA favors products that are kind to skin, with many skincare/priming products that aim to smooth and sooth redness and sensitivity, as well as makeup products that have simple ingredients and clean formulas. As a former brand ambassador for MAC Cosmetics, our lead artist has extensive knowledge in their skin products which supply much of the makeup kits we've assembled.

Question 10

What brands are in the kit?

Accepted Answer

Skin mainly consists of MAC, Jcat Beauty, Urban Decay, Elf, ofra, maybelline, colourpop, and various others for eyeshadow brands.

Question 11

How do you clean and sanitize your kit?

Accepted Answer

All sealed liquid products (even with applicators) never touch a face and remain sealed when not in use. All brushes are cleaned and sanitized using a professional grade makeup remover, and alcohol. All powders, the top 3 layers of powder are removed using a clean tissue, and for any lipsticks, they are sanitized, then wiped using a tissue to remove the top 3 layers.

Question 12

What kind of lashes do you use?

Accepted Answer

Our lead artist favors Ardell and Kiss lashes for most situations. However in some more glam cases, we have longer thicker options from various online and in store sources, however we do not utilize any genuine mink lashes in our kit unless a client supplies them.

Question 13

Do your artists allow the use of my own products?

Accepted Answer

We tend to advise against using your own products for an event, especially if you opt to not do a trial run. We have selected our products based on years of makeup experience and product knowledge to be able to guarantee a successful result, every time. When using alternate products, we cannot guarantee sanitization standards, makeup color, finish, or photo quality for your event.
