WILL MY MAKEUP LAST ALL DAY?
Wedding days are long with a lot of moving parts requiring some touch-ups. You will likely cry, lip color will fade, sweat or get a tad shiny from heat and humidity. You will want the opportunity to capture photos and have your ceremony outside in the warmer months. You may want a lip color change, or a stronger eye for the reception. I offer touch-up services for brides and event clients that want the security of me being on top of all these elements through their photos and ceremony.
ARE WEDDING MAKEUP TRIALS REQUIRED?
There are no do-overs on your wedding day, and it should be relaxing as you get ready. A trial is recommended to ensure you love how your makeup will look on the wedding day.
WHERE DO YOU HOST MAKEUP TRIALS?
I host makeup trials in NYC at a salon suite I rent out by the hour, and they are most often scheduled during the week. Weekend trials are based on my availability around other weddings and client bookings.
WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING MY MAKEUP TRIAL?
Your makeup trial is a collaborative effort between us to achieve your desired vision with my guidance. I want to ensure you are completely in love and excited about how your wedding makeup will look!
WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO MY MAKEUP TRIAL?
Bring a photo of your dress and inspiration photos or a Pinterest board of makeup styles you envision for yourself. Natural and dramatic makeup have various interpretations. Inspiration photos provide a clear idea of your comfort level and style.

I can be booked out as early as 8-12 months in advance, especially during the popular wedding season months of May through November. Dates can only be secured with a signed contract and a 50% non-refundable and non-transferable date retainer. Schedule your trial as soon as possible to have the opportunity to book me for your date.
