FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Each and every job is a little different for me. Not every application calls for the same products or the same level of detail, so therefore my prices definitely fluctuate based on a number of factors. The distance I need to travel, the amount/cost of the product and the amount of time I need to achieve the desired look are all taken into consideration when I give a quote.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Before the first appointment with a new client, I will always ask a lot of questions. I like to know exactly what look you're after and I will often request you to attach some inspiration photos. Getting to know your sense of style is a big part of my job that helps me make you look your best on application day. We will also discuss details such as your location, my rates/pricing and the amount of time needed to complete/maintain your desired look. On the day of your appointment I will arrive promptly and will take the first few minutes to set up my equipment. From there I will ask about your skin type and any allergies that I should be aware of (allergies to latex, skin sensitivities to particular products, etc). Once we have discussed these precautions we are ready for your makeup application!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a graduate of Cinema Makeup School located in Los Angeles, California. I earned my diploma in the Master Makeup Program in which I studied under industry professionals teaching topics in beauty, airbrush, photographic hair styling, character, prosthetics and special effects makeup. I also had the honor of participating in the Leonard Engelman Fellowship as an Associate in Character Makeup.
