Makeup & Hair Styling Questions
1. Do you only do hair and makeup for weddings?
Although I specialize in bridal hair and makeup, I also provide hair and makeup services for all types of media and events including head shots, engagement shoots, maternity, boudoir sessions, print work, video, and private parties. I am also a certified lash technician.
2. Can you do makeup on all ethnicities?
Yes, I can and have done makeup for a wide variety of skin tones from the deepest to the fairest skin tone. Moreover, as many are concerned with a “clown look” result when getting their makeup done, I have been requested by numerous Asian clients for my services as I am highly skilled in enhancing Asian eyes.
3. Which brands of makeup do you use?
I use a variety of professional makeup products from world renowned brands such as Makeup Forever, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Stila, Smashbox, Tarte, Kevin Aucoin and Laura Mercier. With the overwhelming amount of cosmetic products available today, I stay up-to-date and research on the best products available for my clients' makeup needs. In addition, I am committed to first handedly testing the product before applying it on any of my clients. Not only, one of the best parts about being a professional makeup artist is the vast amount of knowledge I can and do acquire from makeup shows and workshops where the latest professional products are showcased.
4. I have allergies to certain types of makeup. Can you work with my products?
YES! I completely understand allergies and skin sensitivities to certain makeup products and will welcome using your own products for application.
5. What is airbrush foundation?
Airbrush foundation is a unique formula of foundation that is high in coverage and thin in texture. The foundation is applied through an airbrush gun in micro fine layers. This creates an appearance of a more natural and pure look. The benefit of an airbrush foundation application are the long lasting durability, even consistency, looks beautiful on camera, and will not rub off onto the groom!
6. What should I do if I do not like the makeup/hair or certain parts of it?
I ask and welcome all of my clients to be open and to speak comfortably with me about their concerns regarding their makeup application/hairstyle. I completely understand that each individual has his/her own preference regarding their appearance. I am very open minded, understanding, and would appreciate your honesty. I want you to look and feel your very best!
