• MAKEUP PRODUCTS WE USE: We use professional rub-resistant face paints or water resistant alcohol based / airbrush makeup if it makes sense for your event. Our makeup generally stays on extremely well and you may only need to reapply lip products if necessary. As long as you are not sweating profusely, we have had many clients tell us that our makeup stays on ALL DAY AND NIGHT! Please describe the setting of your event for best results. If you anticipate being in an extremely hot environment, please let us know.

• ON 10/24 and 10/31, our busiest days of the year…, our makeup appts are booked back to back, so you might need to wait while we finish and clean up upon your arrival. If you need to be at your event at a certain time and cannot be late, please book an earlier appt and try not to book too close to your desired arrival time of your event.

• Please do not bring other people to your appointment without permission if they are not receiving a service. We may not have the space for them!

• On location appointments may be limited based on artist availability and subject to a premium on location fee. + valet parking charged to hotel room if applicable.
