Booking & Price
How much does bridal makeup cost?
Bridal makeup is $175. Bridesmaids, mothers, and additional party members are $125 each.
Is there a deposit required to book?
Yes, a 20% retainer is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due the day of your wedding. You are welcome to pay the balance whenever is most convenient to you.
When should I book my makeup artist for my wedding?
Most brides book 6–12 months in advance. My calendar fills quickly during peak wedding season, so I recommend reserving your date as soon as possible.
Do you travel to the venue? Are there travel fees?
Yes, I travel to your location for a stress-free experience. Travel fees apply depending on distance.
Trial & Prep
Do you offer makeup trials before the wedding?
Yes, and I highly recommend them! A trial allows us to perfect your bridal look and ensure you feel completely confident on your big day.
What happens during a trial appointment?
We’ll discuss your vision, test products, and design your bridal look. It’s also a great chance for you to see how the makeup wears and photographs.
How should I prepare my skin for the trial or wedding day?
Arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. Consistent skincare leading up to the wedding makes the biggest difference, and I’ll guide you on best practices.
What if I have sensitive skin or acne-prone skin?
As an esthetician, I’m very mindful of product selection. I use professional, acne-safe products and prep your skin to keep it calm and glowing.
Wedding Day Details
How long does bridal makeup take on the wedding day?
Bridal makeup takes about 60–90 minutes.
How much time should I allow for each bridesmaid or family member’s makeup?
Each additional person typically takes 3o–60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the look.
How should I prepare on the morning of my wedding?
Please arrive with a clean face (no makeup) and moisturized skin. Wear a robe or button-down shirt to keep things easy once it’s time to change.
Do you stay for touch-ups throughout the day?
I include a touch-up kit for every makeup service. If you’d like me to stay for on-site touch-ups or a second look, that can be added to your package.
