MAC Cosmetics trains all of their artists through a week long certification (almost like a mini makeup academy). I received an official makeup certification from the Online Makeup Academy in July 2021. I will be attending an Esthetician’s school in November 2023 to obtain my Esthetician’s License.
Archives: FAQs
How did you start this career?
ULTA Beauty was the very first cosmetic job I ever had, which fueled my love for makeup! I then got hands on training with MAC Cosmetics and worked there as an artist for 3 years. Ultimately, I discovered that cosmetic retail was NOT what I wanted to do. I made the decision to quit my [...]
How long have you been a makeup artist?
I’ve been a makeup artist for the past 8 YEARS and have spent the last 5 years being in business for myself :) I have LOVED every second of it :)
What is included in the touch up kit?
For my brides, you'll get a customized lip color sample, oil blotting sheets, loose powder sample, breath mints, lash glue, makeup remover wipe, and all essential applicators! All others will get all of the above minus the powder.
How long does each application take?
Each makeup application will take between 45 mins to 1 hour depending on the look desired. The more bold the makeup, the longer it will take.
Do you do hair as well?
No, I was trained and specialize solely on makeup! However, I have several amazing hairstylists that I've worked with in the past that I can refer you to!
What happens if I have very sensitive skin?
Please let me know of any allergies or sensitivities BEFORE your bridal preview takes place! I will also ask if anyone else in your bridal party has concerns about this as well before each application on the wedding day.
Are lashes included for all the services? Will it lower the cost if I don’t want lashes?
Lashes are included for EVERYONE! The cost will not change if someone chooses not to have lashes. Most often after seeing other people's gorgeous lashes, that person will want them too!
Do you offer airbrush makeup?
No, I only offer traditional makeup. Here's why! Airbrush is just another method of application such as a brush or a sponge. The liquid foundations I use last just as long if not longer throughout the day. I apply them with a sponge instead of a brush to create a seamless finish without feeling heavy [...]
Will there be a fee for the additional artist?
There will be a $100 fee for each additional artist. This will cover the communication to find the artist and coordinate both our schedules to make sure everything is perfect on the wedding day. I only hire artists that I have previously worked weddings with! This way I know their work ethic, sanitation, punctuality, etc. I [...]
