WHAT BRANDS OF MAKEUP DO YOU USE?
Please note that while I do have high-quality, professional grade, and popular brands such as Fenty, Dior, Too Faced, MAC, etc.,in my case and do use; I am not shy about the fact that I am primarily focused on what I know works, and have no problem using a low-cost store product if I know that it is what works best. There are some items in my case that I swear by, and I can only get at the Dollar Tree. It is not the price point, but the results I get from products to ensure a flawless, long-lasting finish for your specific occasion. I tailor the products to your skin type and preferences, ensuring both comfort and wearability for your event and promise you will be happy with your experience.

frequently asked
1. Skincare Prep
Tip: For the best makeup results, start prepping your skin at least a week before your event. Exfoliate regularly and keep your skin hydrated by moisturizing daily. Avoid trying new skincare products right before the event to prevent any unexpected reactions.
2. Clean Face for Appointment
Tip: On the day of your appointment, come with a clean face—no makeup or heavy skincare products. This allows me to apply the makeup smoothly and ensures better product adherence for long-lasting wear.
3. Communicate Your Vision
Tip: Bring inspiration photos or ideas of the makeup look you want. Whether you prefer a natural glow or a dramatic glam look, sharing images helps me understand your vision so I can customize your look perfectly.
4. Trials for Brides
Tip: I always recommend scheduling a makeup trial before your wedding day. This allows us to fine-tune your look and make sure you’re 100% satisfied with the final result, ensuring everything runs smoothly on your big day.
5. Allergies and Sensitivities
Tip: If you have any allergies or sensitivities to specific ingredients, let me know ahead of time. I carry a range of hypoallergenic and sensitive-skin-friendly products to accommodate any special requirements.
6. Lash Care
Tip: If you plan on wearing false lashes, avoid using oil-based skincare or makeup products leading up to your appointment. Oil can affect the adhesion and longevity of the lashes.
7. Consider Your Outfit
Tip: Wear a button-down shirt or something with a wide neckline to your appointment, especially for bridal or event makeup, so your makeup stays intact when changing into your outfit.
8. Touch-Up Essentials
Tip: For all-day events like weddings, I recommend having a small touch-up kit on hand. This should include items like powder, lipstick, and blotting papers to keep your look fresh throughout the day.
9. Timing on the Day of the Event
Tip: On the day of your event, allow enough time for your makeup session without rushing. I suggest planning your makeup around 3-4 hours before your event start time, so you’re ready and relaxed.
10. Hair Before Makeup
Tip: If you’re getting both hair and makeup done, it’s generally best to have your hair styled first. This prevents hair products or tools from disrupting your freshly applied makeup.
11. Consider the Weather
Tip: If your event is outdoors or during a warmer season, mention this ahead of time so I can adjust the makeup application to ensure it’s long-lasting and resistant to heat or humidity.
12. Booking in Advance
Tip: Especially for weddings and popular event dates, I recommend booking your makeup appointment as early as possible. This ensures availability and allows us to plan a trial if needed.
