FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Because each client has various needs and time spans of event and people needing makeup or photography done, I am currently custom pricing each job because that is the only fair way to give my customers the best value. I do not work because of making money...I did this many years and never made a dime! I do this because it inspires me and I enjoy creating "moments"people will remember for a lifetime. So, if you have a certain budget we need to stay in, please let me know and we will work something out.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically, I will go over the event and makeup look desired and do a pre-event application of that look to make sure the client is satisfied prior to event. I will review any allergies (latex specific for false lash applications) to ensure the safety and comfort of the client. I will also go over and practice sanitation of all tools and makeup as well just for added comfort and health safety. I will go over the lighting situations that we will encounter at the event and make sure that the makeup choices are correct for the lighting setup. Makeup in certain lighting situations can create a disaster, and with my expertise, we can avoid that on your important day.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I worked as a MAC makeup artist while in college which was the base of my knowledge and amped up my training as a student at the impressive Academy of Make Up Arts in Nashville. I am also a professional photographer which gives me added insight as to how certain make up and products will read on camera. I graduated from Hallmark Institute of Photography in Massachusetts. I have done makeup and photography my entire life just for fun before I decided to make it my sole source of income.
