FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing reflects the level of detail, customization, and professionalism provided in each service. Prices shown are starting rates and may vary depending on location, travel distance, and service needs. A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to secure all bookings and is applied toward the total cost. The remaining balance is due before or on the day of service once the invoice is sent. I also offer exclusive discounts for first-time clients as a welcome offer.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My process begins with a consultation via email or text to understand your vision, event details, and desired look. Once booked and the 50% non-refundable retainer is paid to secure your appointment, clients are required to complete a skin evaluation form so I can prepare the appropriate products for their skin type and needs. I then confirm all appointment details and provide preparation instructions. On the day of service, I arrive on time fully prepared with my professional makeup kit, lighting equipment, and director’s chair to ensure a comfortable and elevated experience. I complete a brief skin assessment and create a customized, camera-ready look tailored to your features and occasion.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a self-taught makeup artist with over a year of hands-on professional experience building my business, So Much More Than Gorgeous. My education comes from real-world application through editorial shoots, brand campaigns, live performances, bridal work, and special events. I have developed my skills by working directly with photographers, models, musicians, and clients, and through assisting professional makeup artists, where I gained additional insight into on-set workflow, product selection, and industry standards. I continue to refine my technique through practice, industry research, and ongoing creative work.
