Clear pricing,
no surprise line items

For peak wedding season, three to six months is ideal — the popular dates go first. That said, always ask: cancellations happen and I keep a short waitlist. For a party or shoot, two to three weeks is usually plenty.

Makeup, hairstyling, draping and lashes are included in every bridal and occasion package, along with all products and my full kit. What is not included is travel outside the city, accommodation for destination events, and the optional extras listed above — all of which are quoted separately and clearly before you confirm.

For a bride, I strongly recommend it. A trial lets us test how your skin behaves with the base, agree the eye and lip, photograph the result in two lighting conditions and remove every surprise from the wedding morning. For guests and parties, a trial is rarely necessary.

Airbrush is lighter, more transfer-resistant and excellent for heat, humidity and heavy flash photography. HD gives slightly more coverage and warmth, and sits beautifully on dry or mature skin. We decide at the trial, based on your skin rather than on price.

Yes. Bases are custom-mixed rather than pulled from a single bottle, and I check the match at the jaw and chest in natural light before we go further. Deep, olive, warm and cool undertones are all standard, not special requests.

Absolutely, and please tell me in advance. I will adjust the prep, avoid known irritants, use non-comedogenic products and patch-test on request. Active breakouts are covered without being caked.

A signed confirmation and a 30% retainer holds your date; the balance is due on the event day. Until the retainer is received the date stays open to other enquiries. Retainers are adjustable against a postponed date within twelve months, subject to availability.

Frequently. Travel, stay and a per-diem are added at actual cost with receipts shared. For multi-day destination events I usually recommend booking me for the full stretch — it works out better for you and for the schedule.
