FAQ
If you plan to have a spray tan or self-tan, we recommend doing it at least 24 hours before your appointment. Please include your face in the tan to ensure a seamless foundation blend. If you prefer a no-face tan, let your artist know in advance so they can adjust the foundation match.
Yes! For the best results:
- Brows: Get them waxed, threaded, or tinted at least 2 days before your appointment to avoid redness.
- Lashes: A lash tint is great for definition, but avoid a lash lift before your appointment—it can limit how well false lashes sit
- Lash extensions? They’re fine but may restrict certain makeup styles (e.g., dramatic winged liner). Let your artist know in advance.
Yes! However, heavy lash extensions can sometimes interfere with strip lashes or bold eye makeup. If you want a glam, full lash look, your artist may need to work around them or apply individual lashes for extra volume.
Arrive with a clean, moisturized face—no makeup needed! However, if you have a specific primer or skincare you prefer, feel free to apply it beforehand.
What should I avoid before my appointment?
Lash lifts (they make strip lashes harder to apply).
Last-minute facials or peels (may cause irritation).
Sun Exposure (makeup resists sunburn areas)
When you book me for on-location services (weddings, events, or mobile appointments), the pricing reflects the additional time, logistics, and opportunity costs involved. Here's why:
1. Time Away from the Salon
2. Setup + Pack-Down Effort
3. No Breaks + Non-Stick Schedule
4. Travel Costs
Fuel, parking fees, and wear-and-tear on equipment are factored into pricing.
Salon vs. On-Location:
Note: For weddings, a minimum group size (or fee) applies to make travel worthwhile. Smaller groups are welcome but priced accordingly.

A: To ensure I can focus entirely on making you look and feel amazing (without any awkward interruptions!), please arrange for full payment to be settled in the morning before makeup begins.
Why this matters:
Easy payment options:
For peace of mind:
I'll always provide a receipt and confirm payment discreetly-so you can get back to celebrating!
Note: For large bridal parties, a designated "payment person" (bridesmaid/planner) works wonders!

Your booking confirmation guarantees:
While I specialise in face and décolletage makeup, I don’t offer full body coverage due to:
- Product limitations: My high-grade cosmetics are formulated for facial skin (body application requires significantly more product and specialised formulas).
-Colour-matching challenges:Uneven tans or pigmentation (green/red tones) often need custom mixes that aren’t practical for event timelines.
what I can do
blend face-to-neck/chest with my body brush for a natural transition.
- Recommend professional body makeup artists if full coverage is needed.
- Suggest long-term solutions (like skincare prep or spray tans) during your trial.
