How long does a traditional makeup last?
It is a fact that on properly treated skin, makeup will last much longer. Traditional makeup can last 6-10 hours and in some cases it can last all day. There are several factors that impact make-up including climate, humidity, heat and the skin of each person. On oily skin, enlarged pores and excess oil repel foundation and shine does not take long to appear. These factors can make makeup fade faster. For that reason it is important that if you have an extremely oily face, you have a loose powder in your bag to absorb any excess oil during the day.
What does airbrush makeup consist of and how long does it last?
Airbrush makeup consists of the use of tiny pigments that are applied with a spray, which gives you:
More coverage.
Long duration (24 hours).
Natural finish.
Water and sweat resistance.

Why is Bridal makeup more expensive than traditional makeup?
1. For makeup to look as simple and natural as usual, you must have vast experience and use more advanced techniques, which in turn take much more time than normal makeup.
2. The Bride is the center of attention of the entire wedding. I must pay attention to the smallest details, so that she looks good in all angles and lights.
3. Photography requires makeup to be designed with special techniques for the effects caused by the flash. I have to consider how the light will bounce off the skin and design a job that makes the skin look fresh and spectacular.
4. The bride must be groomed not only to look good in photos, but also look spectacular up close. That takes time and a lot of knowledge of makeup techniques.
5. As makeup artists we must include the time provided through emails, calls, text messages and the entire process to create an itinerary. I am also available at any time to resolve makeup concerns before your wedding day.
How do you clean and disinfect your makeup products and brushes?
For cleaning and disinfecting, I use a Cinema Secret brush cleaning solution which will remove makeup residue and disinfect the brushes off 99.9% contaminants.
After each makeup session, 70% Isopropyl Alcohol is used to sanitize products, tools, the work surface, and the entire kit including every product. This spray disinfects makeup products such as shadows, contours, palettes, and liners. For products like mascara and lipstick, I use disposable applicators so that the product remains sterile. These protocols and sanitization products adhere to industry standards and best practices for customer safety.
Should I tip my makeup artist?
Tipping is not an obligation or payment that should be included, but we always appreciate if you decide to tip us.
