Introduction

Working as a makeup artist is my passion! I want my customers to have a great experience on getting their makeup done. Makeup sometimes can be defined for a lot of people as “too much makeup on” and for my case my goal is to use as little as possible but to enhance your natural beauty. I will pay attention to all your details and will follow your inquiries. I’ll give you some recommendations on how to achieve your desire makeup look and what products are the best to use. My job is to make you feel more beautiful and I am here to help you!

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

I always want to be reasonable with pricing. I like to give some discounts for any person younger than 14 and/or older than 65. Lashes are always included with my price as long you like them and would want to use them. Travel expenses are also included with the price.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

I want my costumers to trust me so I want them to email me, text me or call me for any questions, same for a new costumer always send me pictures of looks you like and let me know anything you don't like so I will make sure I do a great job on you.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

I went to makeup school in New York city and learned so much about not just makeup but skin routine and what are the best products for each type of skin. After getting my certificate and staring getting clients I got better and better so now I can understand perfectly what a client is looking for and help them achieve their desired look. I have also volunteered and fashion shows as a makeup artist so I also know what’s working under pressure and get a great makeup application.

How did you get started doing this type of work?

I went to Nina's makeup school in new york city so that's when I started practicing with friends and let my self known with other people and they started to recommended me.

What types of customers have you worked with?

I have been doing different types of makeup for different types of customers. From models, kids, mature skin, customers than need scar or tattoo coverage. I love working on any type of skin and will always be happy to work on you.

Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?

Since 2019 have just past. I had a lot of customers looking to get a glam makeup look. I usually take around 45 - 1 hour on each makeup application. But can always figure it out to work a little faster to adjust it to your schedule.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

Always look for someone who can understand exactly what are you looking for.

What questions should customers think through before talking to professionals about their project?

I really think that price it's the first one I get the most. But it's also important to think how much time is it going to take to the pro to do your makeup, the exactly date and time you need your makeup to be done. Those questions are really important before you move to the makeup look you desire to get.
