Yes, I do charge for travel. I’m happy to travel across Iowa and into Illinois to provide makeup services, but please note that travel fees will apply depending on the location. Feel free to reach out for specific travel fee details based on your location.

Absolutely! I believe trials are a great way to ensure we achieve the perfect look for your special day. I do charge for trials, as they require the same level of care and detail as the day-of application. A trial allows us to experiment with different styles, ensuring you’re completely satisfied with your look.

I recommend booking as early as possible, especially for weddings and other major events. My calendar can fill up quickly, particularly during peak wedding season. Securing your date early helps ensure that I’m available for your special day.

I use high-quality, professional-grade makeup products that are long-lasting and photograph beautifully. My kit includes a variety of brands to suit different skin types, tones, and preferences. If you have specific product preferences or allergies, please let me know during our consultation.

I understand that sometimes plans change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please contact me as soon as possible. I have a cancellation policy that outlines any fees or requirements, which I’ll be happy to discuss with you during booking.

Of course! Bringing inspiration photos is a great way to communicate the look you’re going for. We’ll work together to create a customized look that reflects your vision while enhancing your natural features.

The duration of a makeup session can vary depending on the complexity of the look. For bridal makeup, I typically allow 45-60 minutes. Trials can take a bit longer as we may experiment with different styles.

I recommend arriving with clean, moisturized skin to get the best results. If you’re having a trial, it’s helpful to wear a top similar in color to what you’ll be wearing on the day of your event, as this can affect how the makeup looks. For the big day, just relax and let me take care of the rest!
