Our Process
To us, creating a custom makeup look means creating a custom experience for each of our clients. It's the way we know how to make you look and feel your absolute best. We have found that our clients have some questions prior to working with us, and this helps to answer some of them. Here is what you can expect when you work with us.
INQUIRE
Ready to get started? Of course you are! Inquire through our website contact page. We can't wait to get the ball rolling and learn more about your plans!
QUESTIONNAIRE
When we receive your inquiry, we can send over a brief questionnaire. Feel free to provide us with any specifics details when filling it out. This helps us to get to know you and see your ultimate vision for your makeup look as well as provides us with the information we need to get you the most accurate proposal for our services. It also helps us see your immediate needs, and helps us determine if we are a good mutual fit. Check your spam within 48 hours..sometimes this can get lost if we aren't in your contacts!
PROPOSAL + AGREEMENT
We will then follow up with a custom proposal based on your needs, and agreement, and invoice. We require a verbal confirmation that you would like to move forward with our services. From here, you can sign the agreement as well as secure your spot with a $100 non-refundable retainer. Your proposal will be active for 2 weeks after being sent. No dates are held without a signed agreement and paid retainer. If you need us to re-activate your proposal, please reach out and if your date is still available we can re-activate it.
* You'll get your very own client file to store all forms, documents and email correspondence that may be accessed at any time.
TRIAL + TIMELINE

THE BIG DAY
Your Artist(s) will arrive 15 minutes prior to the first appointment to set up and have everything prepared for a stress free, fun and relaxed day! Your appointments will run on a 50 minute schedule for Bridesmaids & Mothers, and 1.5 hours for the Bride. We save slips for last since we know you'll want to have breakfast and a mimosa..or two to celebrate! After the last appointment, we leave a 20 minute window for any final touch ups and lip applications. We also complete services 1 hour prior to the time your photographer arrives/you need to begin getting dressed. Why? We've done this hundreds of times and find that our Brides always appreciate the extra time to grab a bite to eat, take photos with their parties, pack a bag for the day, and just to relax! Last minute things come up and we love to know that you won't be late! After this, you'll be all set to get into your gowns and have the best day ever!!
