Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect from a professional makeup appointment?
You can expect a welcoming, unhurried consultation followed by precise application tailored to your features and preferences. The focus is on a refined finish that looks beautiful in real life and in photos. You will leave feeling confident and comfortably polished.
How do you tailor makeup to my skin tone and the look I want?
Your appointment begins with discussing your skin, undertone, coverage preferences and how you want to feel on the day. Shades and textures are selected to complement your colouring and outfit, while keeping the overall result balanced and wearable. The aim is a look that still feels like you.
How should I prepare my skin before my appointment?
Arrive with clean skin if possible, and keep skincare simple on the day to avoid pilling under makeup. If you are trying new products, avoid introducing them right before your appointment. Staying well hydrated and getting good rest also helps makeup sit and wear better.
Will my makeup last through the day or evening?
Professional application is designed to be long-wearing and comfortable, with techniques that help maintain a fresh finish over time. Your artist can advise on simple touch-up steps for things like lips and shine. How well it wears also depends on skin type and the conditions on the day.
When should I book professional makeup for an event?
If you have a fixed date, booking early is best, especially in busy seasons. A consultation in advance can be arranged if you would like to confirm your style, shades and overall plan. If you are unsure, share your timings and we will help you choose an appointment that fits smoothly.
