Question 1

How do I book an appointment?

Accepted Answer

You can book an appointment by contacting me directly through my website or social media channels. A deposit is required to secure your booking.

Question 2

Do you travel outside the East Midlands area for makeup services, including other parts of the UK or overseas?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am happy to travel as far as required to provide my services, whether it’s for weddings, events, or special occasions. For all long- distance bookings, I ask that travel costs and accommodation are covered to ensure a smooth and comfortable experience. Additionally, there might be a minimum spend requirement to account for the extra time and resources involved. 
Travel arrangements and any associated costs are discussed upfront to ensure clear communication and a seamless experience. 
Please feel free to contact me directly for detailed information and to discuss your specific location and event needs.

Question 3

Do you provide makeup trials?

Accepted Answer

I provide makeup trials for bridal bookings to ensure you are completely satisfied with your look before your big day.

For other types of makeup, such as prom or graduation, a trial can be booked as a standard glam appointment, with the same pricing as the actual day.

Question 4

How soon before the wedding do you recommend having a makeup trial?

Accepted Answer

I usually recommend booking the trial about a month before the wedding. This allows us to consider your skin tone and overall look closer to the date, as your skin and preferences might change. However, if you'd like to do a trial sooner to ensure you're happy with my technique and makeup style, that's totally fine too. We can arrange for you to have a trial as early as you'd like.

Question 5

Can I pay a deposit just for my trial, and then pay a deposit for the actual makeup session later?

Accepted Answer

I recommend securing both your trial and the actual makeup appointment with deposits. Without a deposit, I won't be able to hold the date for you, as I get booked up quickly and operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Paying deposits for both ensures your dates are reserved and guarantees my availability for your special day.

Question 6

How far in advance should I book my makeup appointment?

Accepted Answer

I recommend booking your makeup appointment at least 4 to 6 weeks in advance, particularly for weddings, proms, or other large events. This lead time ensures my availability on your important day and allows us sufficient opportunity to schedule any necessary trials or consultations.

Question 7

How do I prepare for my makeup appointment?

Accepted Answer

Please arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. It’s best to avoid applying heavy skincare products or makeup beforehand to ensure the best results. If you have any specific skin concerns or allergies, kindly inform me in advance so I can accommodate your needs.

Question 8

Can you use my makeup products and brushes for my makeup session?

Accepted Answer

I do not use clients’ makeup products or brushes during sessions. I only use my own professional-grade makeup and high-quality brushes because I am confident in their quality, longevity, and performance. This allows me to consistently achieve the best possible results. Using my trusted tools ensures hygiene, reliability, and the flawless application.

Question 9

Do you do makeup for men or children?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I am happy to consider requests for male and children's makeup for occasions such as weddings or editorial shoots. Please get in touch with me beforehand and provide some context so I can confirm whether I can accommodate your needs.

Question 10

What if I want a specific look or style?

Accepted Answer

Just let me know your preferred style! Feel free to send me reference photos from platforms like Pinterest or any other source if you’ve found a look you love. I will then tailor the makeup to match your vision and preferences.

Question 11

Do you offer makeup lessons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I provide personalised makeup lessons to help you master techniques and create your desired looks. Lessons can be tailored to your skill level.
