Frequently

Asked

Questions

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Are you experienced?

Absolutely and I have completed my professional courses from Surrey college, BM Chan International Cosmetology College Burnaby, BC and Award International Studio in Hollywood. I was also chosen to do makeup for the Miss World Canada 2010 contestants.

 

What products do you use?

We are not loyal to one particular brand, preferring instead to use a range of different products from a variety of brands that have been put together based on what we love to use. My kits are packed with all our favourite goodies (that we even use on ourselves) so you can be assured that they have all been tried and tested proving to be the best products around. The brands that feature the most in our kits are:   Mac, Nars, Benefit,  Bobby Brown, Ben Nye, Temptu, Clinique, Estee Lauder and Stilla. We also take consideration of clients likes / dislikes.

 

Will the make-up last all day?

Yes, your make-up will last, however there are a few tips that we give our brides to help our good work along. 1) Invest in a good powder. It is inevitable sometimes that you will become a little oily in your T-Zone (especially in summer). The foundation will be fine so just a touch of powder will have everything looking brand new again. Mac's studio fix is a great one for touch ups. 2) Lipstick/ lip gloss REAPPLY! Lipstick is not meant to last all day (unless it is really matt or like glue yuck!) so having your colour with you on the day so you can touch it up will keep you looking fresh. At the trial we can give you the name of the lipstick we used or you can arrange for us to get you some.. Easy!

 

Does the Make-up have to be heavy for the photos?

No, it doesn't have to be heavy but it does have to be applied properly using the right products. A professional make-up artist knows how to make the most of your features, even out skin tone, make eyes stand out and make sure you look as beautiful as possible. This is a very special day and you want to look your best after all you have spent all that money on that dress, right? You don't have to look like a different person but you can make sure that you have made the most of what you already have.

 

Are there travel costs?

Yes there may be a small travel fee involved which will depend on how far the artist will be travelling.

 

Do you do hair as well?

Yes we most certainly do. I am a qualified creative updo hair artist as well as makeup artist.

 

How much time will you need on the day?

We like to leave about an hour for each person and approx an hour and a half for the bride. If only make-up is required the time is usually half an hour for each person and one hour for the bride. So it all depends on how many people will be getting ready on the day.
