FAQs
What Types of Makeup do you offer?
Traditional Makeup and Airbrush Makeup
-Traditional Makeup is applied by hand tools such as a brush, beauty blender, or sponge and it can be worked into the skin for an even finish. The coverage of traditional makeup can range from a natural dewy glow to a matte-heavy/full coverage based on the formula. Includes BB cream or full coverage foundations as well as Includes long wear setting spray.
-Airbrush Makeup is applied as an even mist using an airbrush pen. It is waterproof, photographs well, can be full or light coverage and perfect for healthy well hydrated skin. Airbrush Makeup is non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic. Lighter feel and customizable coverage ranging from minimal to greater coverage versatility. The finish is smooth, lightweight, and includes a long-wear-setting spray. Ensuring it is long lasting; including no transfer, weatherproof, sweatproof, and waterproof. Great for natural makeup looks but is a wonderful base for dramatic or creative looks also.
Which Type of Makeup Should I choose?
Traditional Makeup tends to be creamier and is sometimes better suited for very dry skin as it is more hydrating than Airbrush Makeup. If your skin is in the normal-oily range, Airbrush Makeup is perfect for you!
How long will my makeup last?
Your professional makeup application will last all day (and night)!
Do I need to have any of my own makeup or hair styling products?
For most circumstances you do not need any products or tools for your makeup and/or hair appointment. However, there are some exceptions where you can or should bring your own products. If you have skin irritations or allergies, you should bring your own skincare/haircare products and makeup that you know works for you. With your stylist’s approval, you can bring your own personal Clip in Hair extensions if you choose to add these onto your hair services.
How long does a makeup application take to complete?
Professional makeup applications may take from 45 minutes up to 1.5 hours to complete, but most often bridal party member applications take about 45-1 Hour minutes and bridal makeup applications take around an hour.
How much time is needed for hair styling?
Hair styling usually takes around 45 minutes for heat styling only (waves, curls, smooth styles) and 1-1.5 hours for an updo style.
What do I need to do to reserve my wedding date?
Three things must happen to ensure that I am available on your requested date and that you have been added to my square appointment calendar:
Contact me to request your wedding date! You can use this contact form, send an email to hairandmakeupbyemilymarie@gmail.com
Submit your bridal client contract & half down retainer is required. (I will send you the information to complete this step.)
Make sure that you receive a confirmation text from my square calendar! If you do not receive a confirmation text after submitting your contract & retainer, contact me! I must ensure your date has been added to my calendar.
Do you accept larger parties ?
Yes, I do accept larger parties, and depending on the timeline, I can usually complete 6 services on my own. For bridal parties larger than 6 services I will utilize my team of assistants to provide timely and exceptional services.
Do you offer hair/makeup trials?
Yes, I do offer both hair and makeup Trials. One complimentary In-suite Trial is included with the Bridal Styling Reservation.
How should I prepare for my appointment?
Remain in prompt and effective communication with your stylist. Send stylist current natural photos as well as inspirational photos for yourself and bridal party. Review your contract and complete the trial in a timely manner. At least 2 weeks prior to the wedding date take extra care of problem areas such as acne spots and dry patches. Be sure to exfoliate and moisturize the skin and complete any appointments with your esthetician for proper skin care. Facials or any other skincare procedures are best to avoid within a few days of a makeup application as well. Do not wax any area of the face within a few days of your makeup application appointment!
On the day of your wedding wear a V-neck or button front shirt or dress, so that you can change into your wedding attire without messing up your hair or makeup. The morning of cleanse your face well, it should be makeup-free. Be sure to wash away any eye makeup/mascara residue from your lashes, especially in the lash line! If you take a daily allergy or sinus medication, remember to take it before your appointment. Excessively watery eyes can complicate false lash applications!
Make sure your hair is washed at least the night before; arrive with clean blow-dried hair.
What should I expect when you arrive on the wedding date?
When possible, I arrive at the venue 15-30 minutes before our scheduled start time to set up, and then we will start a rotation for hair and/or makeup services. I will create and follow a schedule. Each bridal party member will have their own reserved time slot for hair and makeup. During their scheduled time slot, each party member should be prepared with their desired look in mind as well as be ready to start on time. There will be no phone calls or distractions allowed during their scheduled time slot. When it is not their scheduled time slot, the rest of the bridal party is free to set up, run errands, take care of any last-minute details, whatever needs to be done, or to just relax and have fun!
IS THERE A MILEAGE FEE?
The Travel fee starts at $50 and covers up to 75 Miles. Anything over 75 Miles will be calculated based on the standard IRS Mileage rate of .67 cents per mile round trip.
