Commonly Asked Questions

Do you do hair?

No, I specialize in makeup only, but I’m happy to recommend several talented hair stylists I frequently collaborate with!

Do you charge a travel fee?

I charge a travel fee for locations outside of Orange County. For getting-ready locations outside of OC there is a $50 per hour travel fee.

Is a bridal trial required?

A bridal trial is not required, but it's highly recommended to help achieve your perfect look! Many brides are unsure of what they want, so this is a great opportunity to test the look and ensure it's the right choice for your big day.

Do you have an early morning fee?

Yes, I offer early start times. Here are the rates based on your preferred time:

  • 3-4am: $150

  • 4-5am: $130

  • 5-6am: $100

  • 6-7am: $50

Can you hide my skin texture/wrinkles?

Makeup is a tool used to enhance and add color to the skin, but it doesn't alter or cover texture. I will prep and hydrate your skin to the best of my ability, but I can't promise to change the natural texture of your skin.

If you have skin concerns, I'll work with you to enhance your canvas and provide guidance on how to prep your skin leading up to our appointment.

Can you work on me with lash extensions?

I can work with your lash extensions if you have them. If this is for your wedding day, I prefer a blank canvas, as lash extensions can sometimes make it challenging to achieve the perfect look.

Where do you get clients ready?

You’re welcome to get ready at my location in Irvine, CA, or I can travel to you.

Do you have a bridal contract?

Yes, I have a bridal contract that all brides are required to sign.

How should I prepare for my appointment?

Please arrive with a clean face. You don't need to worry about your skincare, as I'll take care of it for you. If you have specific skincare preferences, feel free to bring your products along with any must-use items. I’ll have everything needed to create your glam!

Even if you have no idea what you want, please have inspiration photos ready so I have an idea of what you are looking for. Photos are always the most helpful!

Is a deposit required to hold my date?

For special occasions and photoshoots, a non-refundable $50 deposit is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance will be due on the day of the appointment.

For weddings a non-refundable deposit of $100 is required to secure your date, which will be applied toward your total.

I don’t usually wear makeup, and I’m afraid it will look too heavy!

I totally get it! Keep in mind—this is your special day to look extra! Yes, you’ll be wearing more makeup than usual, but that’s because it’s designed to last 8+ hours and look flawless in person and on camera. Professional photography tends to wash out makeup, so a bit more is needed to ensure you still look radiant in photos.

Rest assured, I specialize in soft, seamless glam that enhances your natural beauty without feeling heavy or cakey. You’ll still feel like you—just the most polished, glowing version!
