FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I offer packages to all of my brides, to make it as easy as possible. All you have to do is write me Nicoleliv3@aol.com and I will send you the list of packages. The price goes down the more people you have in your party. I try to keep this very affordable! Some of the things I offer.. are free lashes for everyone on the day of your wedding. Makeup for flower girls is another gift. In terms of travel.. that is something we can discuss, I don't like to charge much and sometimes I do not charge at all. I can do up to 15 faces by myself and I work very fast. There is a one time fee of $50 and this pays for your makeup trial and books me for the big day! Just write me with your face count and I will send you the quote and listing!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
When it comes to makeup, I stay up on all of the latest looks and trends. I make sure to read every makeup book that comes out, and I learn from other artist's new tips and skills. It is always important to throw yourself into your career, and when it comes to makeup and products, well it is easy! Every year I go to Sephora, and I spend about 5 hours in there playing. I buy all the new products and test them out for myself. That is the best way to keep up with the latest developments. TRY everything and see if it really works!
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was very artistic, and painted. Everything that I did when I was younger usually centered around creating things. So when it was prom time, I usually did all of my friends makeup, or for special events, I was their girl! I taught myself the art of makeup, and from that point knew I was meant to do this forever. Every year I added more skills and learned from other great artist's. It has been an amazing journey and there are always new doors that open for me. I worked for MAC for 7-8 years, and that is when the weddings started to roll in every month. I could not believe it! I am truly blessed.
