.Frequently Asked Questions


Do you offer private and/or group makeup lessons?
Of course!  Makeup lessons consume a large part of my business.  All lessons are done in my studio in Burlingame: Epic Artistry, Hair & Makeup Lounge.

Do you offer brow design services?
Yes.  I LOVE shaping brows.  A brow wax and design opens up the eye and creates a smooth palette for your eye makeup.  I recommend having your brows shaped at least 3 days prior to any event. 

Do you require a Trial Run in order for me to book your services for my wedding?
Yes.  It is very important that you come in and allow me to do a full makeup application on you so that everything goes smoothly on your wedding day.  It is also important that you wear the makeup so that you are sure that this is the look that you want for your wedding day and insure that it lasts all day and night.

Can I do more than one Trial Run?
Sure.  Some of my brides think that they want a certain look and then change their minds down the road.  A second Trial Run will cost $85 and will not be credited towards your package on your wedding day.  Lashes will not be included in your 2nd trial run, but can be purchased and applied.

Can my mom and bridesmaids book for trial runs?
Of course.  Many MOB's like to have trial runs done as well.  This will cost $75 for a full makeup application.  Lashes are an additional cost.

What is your travel fee?
Travel is complimentary up to 20 miles from Burlingame, CA.  Anything beyond is $1 per mile.

Do you work on all skin types and ages?
Yes.  My kit has a wide range of colors and coverage.  I work on all ages and skin types... you are in good hands :).

Do you offer airbrush foundation for your brides?
I do have an airbrush, however I do not use it for my bridal makeup applications.  Airbrush is best used for creative shoots and studio work.  It looks too heavy on my brides.

Can my attendants bring their own lashes for you to apply?
Unfortunately no.  You and your attendants are my walking advertisement and I need to insure that you wear only the best lashes for your eye and makeup look.  I will bring a variety of lashes with me so that your attendants can purchase them for $25.  If you do not want your attendants to have lashes please notify me in advance as I offer them to everyone in my chair.

Do you service large bridal parties?
Yes of course!  I have a group of well trained artists that work under me.  Depending on how many makeup applications are needed, I will bring additional artists with me at no additional charge.

After I have my Trial Run with you, how do I go about booking you for my wedding day?
Due to the high demand of makeup services on weekends, I do not save your date until I receive both a signed Service Agreement and Deposit.  I can either fax or email you the Service Agreement.  Once I receive both of these consider your date saved!

Do you recommend having a facial before my wedding?
I do not recommend doing anything new to your skin before any special occasion.  You never know how your skin is going to react to products.  Its better to be safe than sorry.

Do you provide makeup for touch ups?
As a courtesy, I can pick up any makeup needed for touch ups.  My brides recieve a 20% discount on product for their wedding day.

When is my Final Balance due?
I will send you an invoice with your Final Balance 3 weeks prior to your wedding date.  I like to have your Final Payment no later than 7 days prior to your wedding date.

What forms of payment do you accept?
I accept cash, check or money order.  I can accept all major credit cards but please note that you will be charged a 3% processing fee.

Is Gratuity included in your prices?
Gratuities are not included and are greatly appreciated by myself and my artists.  

Do you stay for touch ups?
Time is money in our business so as soon as we are done with all of our applications we pack up and head out to our next gig.  We try our best to accommodate all of our clients, so arrangements can be made for Touch Ups at an additional cost.
