FAQs

  • You can reserve your wedding date whenever you are ready! However, I would suggest you book your wedding day as soon as you can. Our calendar fills up pretty quickly and we limit how many weddings we take per day to provide you with the individual attention you deserve. To reserve your date we require a non-refundable 50% deposit and a signed contract. Both of which can be taken care of online.

  • Yes, We travel to you on your wedding day. We are based in the DC,MD,VA area but we also travel for destination weddings and all over the U.S.  Contact us for travel rates on your destination wedding.

  • Your trial session is a make-up preview of your big day! I do your full make-up to ensure you LOVE your wedding day look. You can schedule your trial whenever you feel comfortable and ready. Normally, I would suggest one or two months or more out from your wedding day. If you feel confident in your chosen look you can schedule one earlier than that. Some of the things that may affect your trial look vs. your wedding day look.

    - If you tan easily during the summer months

    - If you want your hair accessories (Comb/Veil) at your trial

    - If you haven't found your dress yet

  • In my experience, trials typically take up to 2 hours.  You can try as many versions as you would like until you feel beautiful and confident in your desired wedding day look!

  • Depending on your needs, I have a wonderful network of talented artists that work with me. Depending on your wedding day details, number of services and time constraints that will determine how many colleagues I bring. I also provide you with a detailed schedule for you and your bridal party to reference.

    ***A friendly reminded to all the brides: most delays are caused by the person not being present in the room for their scheduled time slot. To keep things running smoothly, we ask that you have everyone there when the artist arrives if possible.

  • I use a variety of top of the line makeup products. To list a few Dior, YSL, Armani, Givenchy, MAC, Makeup Forever, Nars, Urban Decay, Laura Mercier, etc. The products we have chosen to use are specifically selected for your bridal looks and longevity.

I also have a full range of professional skin care products that we use to prepare delicate, mature, sensitive or acne-prone skin before makeup application and hair to achieve the very best results.

  • The bride will usually request touchup services if they have more than one gown and want to showcase more than one look for their wedding. It is also highly suggested for large parties to make sure every one stays looking their best. If it is extremely hot and the wedding ceremony and reception are outside. If the bride fears that she will be crying so much that she would feel better just having someone there.

  • It’s very important to make sure that the person you hire for your makeup is sanitary. I have been professionally trained and have multiple certifications in sanitation and Covid Sanitation to know how to keep everything clean and sanitary. I will have clean brushes, and a tidy makeup kit. I always begin applying makeup using cleaned and disinfected brushes and products. My brushes are cleaned before each work day and cleaned with antibacterial brush cleaner between clients. All eyeshadows, eye/lip liners and along with other makeup products we use are disinfected with a professional make-up grade disinfectant.
