Is a trial necessary?
I know weddings can be quite costly. That’s why I decided on a ‘build your package’ type of booking system. This just allows brides to choose whether or not they want a trial. I’m always in favor of a trial because it is my first encounter with the bride. Bridal Make Up is quite personal and needs to express the brides personality and how she usually usually does her make up so that she doesn’t look like a different person on her wedding day. Many of my brides don’t usually wear make up and don’t know what they want and tend to be quite nervous about the outcome. A trial makes the whole process a lot smoother and leaves the bride at ease.
Should i take false lashes or lash extensions?
I always prefer lash extensions because the bride has time to get use to them and she doesn’t feel uncomfortable on the day while trying to get use to false lashes. If the bride doesn’t want to do extensions, then I do offer the application of false lashes as part of the service.
When is the appropriate time to book my wedding make up?
Bookings fill up quite fast. So I’d recommend booking as soon as you’ve secured your wedding date. This avoids disappointment of me already being booked out as I usually receive bookings a year in advance.
What is needed to secure my booking?
Once you’ve been quoted, you need to pay a 50% NR deposit and email proof of payment through to me and your booking will be secure.
Do you offer touch ups?
I’ve never needed to touch up a brides make up because I set the make up to last the entire day. It also takes up another brides time to stay on call all day for a bride. I do however give the bride tips on how to cry in a way that won’t damage the make up. Because of this I don’t offer touch ups.
How should I plan my time out for make up on my wedding day?
Bridal Make Up takes an hour. If you do a trial and we already know what look you’re going for, this allows me to work faster and I can be done in 45 minutes. I stay with you up until the end of your dressing and getting ready for photos to make sure everything goes smoothly. Bridesmaid make up takes about 30min per bridesmaid. Same applies to mother of the bride.
Do you offer discounts on group bookings?
If the booking is 6+ people I will offer a discount due to the size of the booking.
Which areas do you travel out to?
I travel out to clients anywhere in Cape Town and just outside of Cape Town. If I have more than one bride on the day, I won’t take a client out of town as well. I do accept bookings in other cities as well, on the condition that it’s booked in advance and travel costs are covered.
Which products do you use?
Kryolan, Mac, Bobbi Brown, Inglot, Flormar, TooFaced, Tarte, Estée Lauder, Nutregina, Salon Care, Sorbet, The Body Shop, Lancóme, Benefit, Clarins & Clinique.
