FAQ

Do you offer any promotions for weddings?
Not at the moment.  I think my rates are quite reasonable.

How long have you been doing makeup and hair for?
11 years


Do you have a team of artists?
Yes.  Depending on the size of your booking and the number of services needed, I can be the only artist or I have a group of artists that will join me.  The biggest wedding I have done was about 15 people and everyone needed both makeup and hair including the bride.
Artists on my team have been doing weddings with me for 11 years and we share a very similar approach and style when it comes to beauty.
Don't worry - everyone will look pretty.


What is the procedure to book?
I will need to know the date, time ready by, getting ready location, and number of services.
In order to secure your booking, I will need to collect a 50% non-refundable deposit for bookings over $350.  We will sign a service agreement to confirm the services you are booking.
Bookings under $350, I will need to collect a full payment to secure your date.


Do you offer other services other than bridal?
Yes.  I love styling graduations and prom, family photos, maternity photoshoots, headshots, special events, etc.
I also offer private makeup lessons where I come to you.
Recently, my makeup partner started offering Hydrafacials to our bridal and non-bridal clients.  Great skin is the key to beautiful makeup - the end.

Located in North Burnaby, BC in her home studio.

How does private lessons work?
I come to you or it's conducted in my home studio in Langley.  We will go through your makeup collection, make product recommendations, show you what to do, practice, more practice, until you feel comfortable to do it yourself.
Makeup doesn't need to be a 45 min application so don't feel intimidated.  We will figure it out and nail it down to usually a 10-15 min process for you.​
Lesson start at $150 for 1.5 hour.


What's in your makeup kit?
I have Laura Mercier, Dior, Chanel, Urban Decay, Cargo, Mac, Makeup Forever, L'oreal, Maybelline (some drug store products are amazing and have crazy staying power) and probably more brands...bottom line is I choose whatever WORKS and STAYS.

​
Is your makeup waterproof?  Will it last?
OH YES.  Longevity is crucial in bridal makeup.  If I use mascara, then it is highly waterproof.
Check out how my brides described how well the makeup lasted below.

Fresh
Romantic
Effortless
Authentic - still you
​

Most of the photos in your portfolio showcased natural makeup...Do you do glam makeup?
Actually, yes. I do.
Definition of glam is subjective.  I don't believe that you need intense, heavy smokey eyes, jet black contouring or diamond white highlighting to look glam.  Have you ever seen Beyonce's or JLo's makeup overkilled? No...
Every face is different.  Long story short, I do glam makeup - glam to a point you look great and people can still recognize you.


Do you do makeup full-time?
I am a PROUD part-time makeup artist.  I knew at the very beginning of my makeup career that doing makeup is what I love, NOT what I stress.  I have seen too many gifted and talented artists quit because pursuing makeup full-time is hard in Vancouver.  If you ask any of my clients, they will tell you I NEVER push for my services because I don't need to.  WHY? Because I have a rich husband. JUST KIDDING!!!!

Sadly, I don't have a rich husband but I have a stable job.  After completing my master's degree, I practice as psychotherapist and I love doing this job,  too.  Makeup and hair remains a creative outlet for me.
Because I only do makeup part-time, I can only take on a small amount of weddings each year.  I hope I get to work with you.
