frequently asked questions

Is a bridal trial required?

Bridal trials are completely optional and are not required to book wedding day services.

What's included in a touch up kit?

Touch up kits include the lip color we use on you, oil blotting sheets, powder, beauty blender, puff, a makeup remover wipe, flosser, mints, spoolies, etc.

How long is a trial & where at?

Bridal trials usually take around two hours. This gives us plenty of time to have a consultation, chat about details, and apply your makeup! Your appointment will be at my salon space in North Liberty.

When should I schedule my trial?

I recommend getting your bridal trial scheduled 4-6 weeks before your date if possible! We can book this a few months in advance. Trials are only scheduled Tuesday-Thursdays.

How can I prep for my wedding day?

I highly recommend getting a facial, eyebrow waxing, and dermaplane from a professional for the best looking skin + makeup. I also recommend a spray tan if you’re wanting that wedding day golden glow!

How long is each service on wedding day?

Please allow at least one hour for the brides glam and 45 minutes for bridesmaids, moms, and guests. Flower girls take about 10 minutes.

What is your minimum + maximum number of services?

Maximum number of services I will do solo is six. Please note, to book a wedding, a minimum number of four services is required (unless you’ve selected the Bride Only package).

Do you do airbrush makeup?

I do not use an airbrush machine, no! I apply foundation with brushes and a beauty blender depending on the desired look.

What if I have more than 6 girls needing glam?

I can do up to six services before you would need to hire a second MUA. If you’re needing recommendations on who to ask, let me know, I can send some over.

What is your travel fee?

Travel from my house in North Liberty to your venue is $1/mile both ways.

How do touch ups work throughout the day?

I will leave you + your girls a touch up kit. If you’d like me to stay past completion time for touch ups, I would be happy to! Cost of staying past completion time is $200/ hr.

How do you take payment?

Your invoice can be paid directly through my invoicing platform, HoneyBook. I also accept cash, Venmo, and any credit or debit card.

What makeup brands do you use?

I carry a variety of brands in my kit - a few of my favorites are Charlotte Tilbury, MAC, NARS, Rare Beauty, Haus Labs, Makeup by Mario, and Natasha Denona.
