What are the advantages of airbrush foundation over traditional makeup applications?
Airbrush foundation is a lightweight formula that is dispersed from a compressor into tiny specks on the skin which mimic a realistic skin finish. It is light and airy and never looks “cakey”. Airbrush foundation is extremely customizable from very natural coverage to full coverage yet feels like nothing on the skin. It photographs beautifully and has an 18 hour plus waterproof, sweatproof wear.

How many looks do I get in a trial?
A trial consists of one desired makeup and hair vision. If you’re looking to try any additional looks or styles, it is recommended you book a second trial.
When do you recommend getting a trial done?
We hold our trials 2-3 months prior to the wedding, Mondays-Thursdays. We recommend booking that appointment in advance, usually 4 months out, so we can secure a reservation for you.
What should I bring to my trial?
You should bring any inspo photos you may have for makeup and hair, which showcase women with the same hair, eye, and skin tone as you. Bring your veil, clip in extensions if you’re using them, and any other hair accessories you may have (e.g. comb, clip, vine). Your wedding day jewelry is always nice to have as well. If you can wear white to your trial it will also help give a more relatable vision to your final look on the wedding day and helps with pictures we take.
Can I bring friends or family with me to my trial?
Certainly, you may bring one guest with you to share in your experience.
Can my mom have a trial as well?
Yes of course! We can schedule your mom to have a trial the same day as yours, pending availability for a double appointment. If there are no double appointments available, we can certainly schedule your mom for another date.

100% yes! We use as many waterproof products as possible on your wedding day.
How do I remove my false lashes?
Since we are using individual lashes, it is best to just wash your face as usual, gently rubbing your lash line back and forth and your lashes will fall off. You may also use makeup remover and gently sweep them away. Please do not try and pull or remove your individual lashes off with your hands, as that may result in you accidentally taking some of your natural lashes with them.
Can you do men’s grooming on the wedding day?
Absolutely! Guys need pampering too. We offer grooming services which include hot towel straight razor shaves, beard edging and trimming, hair cuts, and styling!
I’d like to leave a tip for my artist/stylist. What is your tipping policy?
Tips are so appreciated and can be paid in cash, day of, to the artist/stylist who did your service. If the Bride wishes to collectively tip for everyone as a whole, she may give that to her Bridal Makeup Artist and the artist will hand it out to the team. Venmo is also an acceptable second option for tips 😊
