FAQs
Don’t See Your Question? Get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help!
What is the difference between evening and bridal makeup?
Evening makeup is a more dramatic makeup look. We are often using shimmer and brighter colours, or we can use darker colours and a bold lip. Whereas, Wedding makeup is soft, flattering and is designed to enhance the client’s natural beauty. It is very thoughtful and planned out.
What can I use to stick on festival face gems?
You can purchase face gem glue, or you may wish to use a strip lash glue to help hold your gems in place.
Do I need to bring in my own products and tools?
We supply all tools and products required for the class, however if you have purchased a kit you are welcome to bring it in to begin to familiarise yourself with the products and tools you have purchased. If you are wanting to bring in your own, please let us know prior to the class the brands.
