Question 1

Are you currently taking bookings during the pandemic?

Accepted Answer

Yes, as of now (February 2022) I am still currently taking on all bookings. With the Omicron variant numbers on the rise, if Washington state laws change or we go back to Phase 1 and I am legally unable to perform services, I will be in touch with clients.

Question 2

What are you doing differently now that COVID-19 is a concern?

Accepted Answer

I am still continuing my normal sanitation practices but have added additional precautions. I will arrive on location in a mask and will keep it on throughout the entire duration of your appointment. I may sometimes be wearing a secondary face shield, and will always be using a fresh set of gloves per client. My client's sanitation and safety is the most important thing to me as a professional.

Question 3

What services do you offer?

Accepted Answer

I currently take on bookings for private clients for events such as party makeup, maternity photos, or family pictures. I also offer makeup services for professionals for headshots or interviews, music videos, commercials, tv, film, boudoir, and weddings.

Question 4

How can I book you for my wedding?

Accepted Answer

I require a signed contract and a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the booking party total. The 1st step is to fill out the Bridal Questionnaire located at the bottom of my Contact page. After checking your wedding date, I will be in touch to go over the details. Once the contract is signed and the deposit cleared, your date is secured and we will schedule a trial according to your wedding date.

Question 5

How soon should I book you?

Accepted Answer

As soon as possible! Some of my bookings are reserved up to a year and a half out, so sooner is always better. Bookings are first come, first serve and your date is not secured without a signed contract and deposit.

Question 6

Do you travel? What is your fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes! My travel fee is $1/mile, and if the travel time is over 2 hours one-way, overnight accommodations may be required.

Question 7

Do you work on holidays?

Accepted Answer

Depending on the holiday and my availability, I will choose to book weddings or private clients on holidays with an additional $150 holiday flat fee.

Question 8

How much time will it take for a makeup application?

Accepted Answer

​ Each makeup application will take an hour per person, which includes a consultation, full face application, eyelash application and clean-up time. If the timeline needs to be tightened, an assistant or artist can be brought in to ensure that your party is ready on time.

Question 9

Can you accommodate my entire bridal party?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I have an assistant who I can bring along for parties of 5-7, and I have a pool of extremely talented artists that I know and trust on my bridal team who work parties of 8 or more with me to accommodate your timeline. In order to reserve an assistant or second artist, an additional fee will apply.

Question 10

What is the trial for?

Accepted Answer

Your bridal trial is a run-through appointment where we discuss your likes and dislikes, ideal makeup goals for your wedding day and look at inspiration photos. After your makeup appointment we will go over any adjustments that you’d like to see and nail your look 100% so that on your wedding day you can relax and not have to worry about your makeup at all!

Question 11

Where will the trial be?

Accepted Answer

For your bridal trial, I have an intimate studio space in downtown Spokane. I am also available to come to you with a small travel fee.

Question 12

What kind of makeup do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use various brands of makeup in my professional kit that have been tried and tested to perform the best on long and hot days. My favorite brands are Temptu, NARS, Seint, MAC, Charlotte Tilbury, Benefit, and Anastasia Beverly Hills to name just a few in my arsenal!

Question 13

Do you airbrush?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I exclusively offer airbrush foundation to all of my clients. I truly believe that airbrush foundation gives a higher quality finish and has a better longevity of wear than most traditional foundations. Airbrush foundation allows me to have total control over customized coverage and shade blending, it looks beautiful in photos and still looks like your skin - only flawless!

Question 14

Do you offer traditional foundation for a cheaper price?

Accepted Answer

I currently only offer airbrush foundation because I feel it allows me to give the highest quality service.

Question 15

If I have lash extensions will my service be cheaper?

Accepted Answer

My pricing for lashes is already built in and discounted and is based on both goods used as well as timing. Lash extensions can typically take more time to work around, therefore if you choose to not use lashes in your service the pricing will not change.

Question 16

Do you also offer wedding hair services?

Accepted Answer

I do not offer hair services for wedding parties but have a team of trusted and talented stylists whom I work with frequently that I can recommend.
