Frequently asked questions

When should I book my trial session?

  • 2-3 months prior to your wedding day, Monday - Thursday, preferably in the morning to demonstrate the longevity of makeup

  • I encourage you to book your hair trial on the same day!

  • Appointment Duration: 2 hrs

.

Do you have a minimum per bridal party you reserve?

Yes! I require a 5 service minimum.

What do your travel fees look like?

For each reserved event, compensation for travel is formulated by mileage - $1.50 per mile (round trip). A relocation fee of $50 will be collected if client requests that makeup artist travel to one location (Ex: Hotel) and unpack/pack then travel to an additional location (Ex: Venue). The relocation fee is subject to change depending on mileage. If travel time exceeds 3 hours, lodging accommodations are required.

How do I secure my wedding date with you?

To secure your wedding date, I require a 25% deposit of the total amount.

How can I prep my skin prior to my wedding day?

I encourage all my client’s to get a facial the week of your wedding (this should not be a time for trials), ideally, 1-3 days before your big day! I recommend monthly facials starting six months before your wedding date. Your skin will be glowing in the best way possible! Make sure you are cleansing your skin twice daily (morning and night) and lathering the moisturizer. Exfoliate maximum 1-2 times a week. Hydrate and drink plenty of water!

Do you have a second artist to bring with you for larger bridal parties?

Yes! I charge a $450 second artist fee.

As the lead artist (Beauty with Alys LLC.), all coordinating, scheduling, and final timeline planning is the lead artist responsibility. The second makeup artist fee covers noted above, the second makeup artist day of minimum, and their travel cost associated with the project.

Friendly Reminders:

  1. It’s recommended that each guest have freshly washed skin.

  2. Please have all makeup removed.

  3. Each guest may do their normal skincare routine the morning of to lock in hydration until their application begins.

  4. Exfoliate the night prior to ensure a flawless application. Please do not use unfamiliar skin care products with doing so and use with caution if your skin has sensitivity.
