Before, During, and After

• Please arrive or start with clean skin, washed that morning. This will ensure that your face is free from oil and debris and will allow the makeup to adhere to skin properly.

• Please eat, brush your teeth, put in contacts, and use the restroom before your appointment if possible.

• Button-down shirts, wide-collar tops, or robes are recommended so you don't disturb your hair or makeup when changing.

• Do not shower after makeup application.

• It is important to do your best to stay relaxed and remain in a cool, dry environment during the application, as makeup will not set or adhere properly to sweaty skin. 

• Since each appointment is scheduled within a specific time slot, I kindly ask that you avoid phone calls, texting, or other interruptions that may delay or compromise the quality of your service.

• Never be afraid to ask questions! If there's anything you don't love about your makeup, please speak up. My goal is for you to leave feeling confident and completely happy with your look.

Skin Preparation & Skincare

• Investing in high-quality skincare products can make a difference in how your makeup applies and wears.

• Washing your skin twice a day, exfoliating 1–3 times per week, and moisturizing is the minimum skincare routine I recommend.

• Do not try any new skincare products or get facials for at least 2 weeks before your appointment.

• Please have your brows shaped 1–2 weeks before your wedding or appointment. Makeup cannot hide or reshape brow hairs.

• Having texture, fine lines, and wrinkles is completely normal, and unfortunately makeup won't make them disappear.

• Makeup cannot hide dehydration, dry or peeling skin, or lip texture.​

Inspiration & Expectations

• Feel free to bring an inspiration photo or describe your desired look. While I may not replicate a photo exactly, I'll use it as inspiration to create a customized look within your appointment time.

• Pinterest, Instagram, and other social media platforms are great sources of inspiration, but keep in mind that many images are heavily edited or AI-generated and may not reflect realistic results.

• Look for inspiration photos featuring people with a similar skin tone, and consider referencing the work of verified makeup artists or my personal portfolio.
