Makeup Services

A good skincare routine is key for your makeup to lay smoothly and last all day! If you are getting your hair styled, please do so before your makeup appointment for better makeup results!

​

​

1. Moisturize: Hydrated skin is better than dry skin! Please ensure you consistently apply moisturizer morning and night for a minimum of two weeks before your appointment.

 

2. Exfoliate: Remove dead skin one week before your appointment. If you get waxed or threaded, make sure you exfoliate before, not after. Exfoliation helps keep the skin nice and smooth.

 

3. Use SPF: Apply SPF every day before sun exposure and reapply every 80 minutes to avoid getting sunburn, amongst other things.

 

DO NOT: Avoid new skincare treatments, strong facials, permanent makeup, facial procedures, or new waxing service the day before your makeup appointment to avoid irritation or adverse reactions.
