FAQ

1. Why book a makeup artist for my wedding?
   You spend months planning your wedding, and on your wedding day you should relax and let everyone else do the work. You also want to make sure your makeup is photo-friendly, long-lasting, comfortable, and flawless!

2. Do you charge a different price for airbrush makeup?
   Our prices include airbrush makeup. As a professional artist, our job is to make you look your best using the available tools, expertise, and products available to us.

3. What is airbrush makeup?
   Airbrush makeup is makeup that is sprayed on with an airbrush at a very low PSI. This creates an ultra fine mist that is able to give coverage without looking cakey. Here are the advantages of airbrush makeup:
   a. Long-lasting.
   b. Requires little touchups.
   c. Looks natural and flawless.
   d. Comfortable to wear… Feels weightless.
   e. Perfect for all skin types: Normal, Dry, Oily, Sensitive, Acne prone, and Mature

4. I’ve had my makeup airbrushed before, and did not like it, what’s the big deal?
   When applied correctly, airbrush makeup should feel weightless, look flawless, and natural. I have had extensive training in airbrush makeup to ensure it is applied correctly, and safely. I also use a high quality makeup that is specifically formulated for airbrush guns. If you had someone inexperienced, or not using an airbrush formulated makeup, this could contribute to a bad experience.

5. I have sensitive skin, can I still be airbrushed?
   Yes! Airbrush makeup (as well as all the other products I use) is oil free, and has gentle ingredients. Should you have any concerns, after your complete run-through you know how the makeup will look and feel the day of the wedding.

6. How far in advance do I book?
   For weddings, book as soon as possible. We have brides that book us from a couple days out, to over a year in advance. Please call or e-mail us for availability.

7. What do I need to do to reserve my date and time?
   A $100 non-refundable deposit is required, which is applied toward your balance.

8. Do you travel outside of Indianapolis for bridal parties?
   Prices include travel for the Indianapolis area (about a 15 mile radius). Please e-mail for out of town rates.

9. Can you stay for touch-ups?
   We can stay for touch-ups; however, it’s not necessary. The makeup applications are long-lasting; usually the only thing you need to touch-up is a little powder in the T-zone, and your lip color.

10. What brands do you use?
    We use EyeMAX Cosmetics, OCC Makeup (airbrush), and other professional brands.

11. Can I buy the makeup you use on me?
    Yes, the products we use and love are carried here in the studio.

12. Do you teach lessons or workshops?
    We do teach private lessons for individuals wanting to learn how to apply makeup on themselves.

13. I want an update for my everyday routine, can you help?
    Yes. Just book a "Basic Makeup Application", and we can clean out your makeup bag together and create a customized look for you.

14. Do you do hair?
    We recommend these hair professionals for bridal hair..

    www.indybridalhair.com
    www.carol4hair.com

15. Do you have any other suggestions for my wedding?
    Definitely!!
    

    Book your hairstylist as well to come to you. That way you know that they will be focused on you and your party. It saves so much time if your stylist and your makeup artist can work on your bridal party at the same time, and also saves a trip to the salon. I highly recommend that you your party get ready in one place.

    Book a facial, but don't try anything new unless its more than 2-3 weeks away from your wedding. You don't want to have any reaction right before your wedding. Try our Oxygenating Trio for a perfect bridal glow!

    Eyebrows! The perfect look cannot happen unless your brows are properly groomed. I recommend having them threaded. It's cheap and your brows will look amazing.

16. Do you do African American makeup or work with ethnic skin tones?
    Absolutely! I work with dark and olive skin tones all the time. I understand that it can be frustrating finding the perfect color for any skin tone. Airbrush makeup is completely customizable for dark tones as well. We also offer custom blend foundations.

17. Do I get a trial when I book bridal services?
    Yes, a "pre-wedding makeup application" is included in all bridal packages to determine your makeup look for your wedding, and will be applied exactly the way it will look the day of the wedding. If you wish to have your makeup applied before you decide to book, please see our a la carte menu items.

18. Can I just get a trial only?
    Yes, you can book a session a la carte, which would be considered a "Special occasion makeup application", which are $75. It includes airbrush makeup and false eyelashes. Trials are not complimentary.

19. My mom/sister/etc.wants to book a trial, can she come in for a trial as well?
    Bridal packages include one 1-hour trial for the bride only; however, others can book an a la carte makeup session if she chooses.

20. How long will my trial/pre-wedding application take?
    These are typically an hour long, however it will not take an hour the day of the wedding. We recommend allowing a half hour per person.

21. When do I schedule my trial/pre-wedding application?
    We prefer to do these about a month before the wedding. However, we have many out of town brides, and we try our best to be flexible with your schedule when you are in town. We are more than happy to put your appointment on the books far in advance.

22. How long do you need for makeup on my wedding day?
    We prefer to schedule at least 30 minutes per person, and then time to set up and prepare for the next makeup application.

23. I'd love to stop by the studio to check it out and meet everyone before I decide to book, is that possible?
    We sometimes offer open house hours. Please see our online calendar for updates.
