Personalized Consultation

Your Vision, Our Expertise. Begin your bridal journey with a one-on-one consultation where we deep dive into your inspiration photos, your wedding theme, and your unique facial features. Together, we’ll craft a look that not only complements your style but elevates it.

Comprehensive Contract

Clarity & Confidence. Our contract covers all the specifics – from the agreed look and timeline, to potential additional costs. It’s our commitment to transparency, ensuring you know what to expect, with no hidden surprises.

Dedicated Trial

Perfection Through Practice. We’ll experiment, refine, and perfect your bridal makeup with dedicated trial sessions, ensuring we nail your look on your big day.

Ongoing Communication

Direct & Dedicated Access. You’ll have my direct phone number and email address. So you can reach out when inspiration strikes or you have a question. Making sure you’re at ease and clear about everything before your big day is my top concern. 

Timeline Coordination

Seamless Scheduling. By collaborating with your wedding planner or venue coordinator, we ensure that your makeup timing fits perfectly into the day’s schedule. No rush, no stress—just a relaxed and luxurious makeup experience.

Day-of Service

Your Moment to Shine. On your wedding day, we provide an unparalleled makeup service, using only high-end, lasting products. Every detail, from the delicate eyelash application to the ideal lip shade, is meticulously applied. We travel with professional-grade lights to cast a natural, even illumination that mimics daylight, ensuring that your makeup looks flawless under any condition, whether it’s the soft glow of a candlelit reception, the bright midday sun or flash photos.

Our fully-stocked kit also includes sunscreen, spray-on deodorant, band-aids, and more. We even carry a travel speaker so we can set the tone with relaxing classical or cue the mimosas with upbeat party vibes.

Bridal Touchup Kit

Stay Flawless. Life’s moments happen—from teary moments to that I-do kiss. Our curated touchup kit ensures you remain picture perfect. Included is a lipstick from renowned brands like MAC or Charlotte Tilbury, available in either full size or travel editions based on our consultation and trial.

Complemented by a loaded powder puff, blotting sheets, a straw to keep your lipstick pristine, and a refreshing mint, you’re ready for anything. And don’t forget your bridesmaids—kits are provided for them as well when they receive our service.

An Expert’s Touch Over Instagram Hype

“The trial showed me that the Pinterest/Instagram pictures I was looking at for inspiration were not it. It just wasn't me and that's okay. I told Frances and she was more than understanding. We booked another trial and it was more me than the first.It was PERFECT! We joked that social media sways us, but we need to just enhance our normal selves on our wedding day, not look like someone we're not.”
- KJ, Ventura, CA
Flawless in Person and On Camera

“During my makeup trial, she did exactly what I asked her to do and it looked great in person. I wasn't crazy about the way it looked in pictures, and she was able to recommend a few changes that looked absolutely amazing on my wedding day!”
- Inna M, Calabasas
From Engagement Glow to Wedding Wow

“Frances did an amazing job on both my engagement and wedding makeup looks! She listened to my needs, adjusted accordingly, and my look lasted the entire day/night! I didn't have to touch up once, and I looked great in all my photos staying matte where it mattered.”
- Tata L. Thousand Oaks

The Bridal Experience FAQ

Unveiling answers to your questions about pricing, timeline and overall wedding makeup experience

Absolutely. We travel within Santa Barbara and Ventura counties. If your location is outside of those areas contact us to discuss.

We love when brides bring in inspiration photos, as it gives us a clear idea of the style you’re envisioning for your special day.

 
Whether it’s a celebrity look or a specific makeup style you’ve seen on social media, it’s important to remember that a look you admire on someone else might not always be the best fit for your unique features.
 
This is where our expertise as experienced professionals comes in. We work closely with you to tailor the inspiration to best suit your personal style and facial structure, ensuring that the final look not only reflects your inspiration but also enhances your natural beauty and makes you feel like the best version of yourself on your wedding day.

We require a nonrefundable retainer to hold the date.

Request our Bridal Experience Guide for wedding makeup services pricing. We offer packages for elopements, bride only hair and makeup. We can also accommodate large bridal parties.

We price our on-location services, considering factors like travel, number of clients, and service complexity.

Contact us to find out about potential extra charges for longer travel distances or specific location requirements.

Request our Bridal Experience Guide to get a detailed explanation of our pricing structure for both bridal hair and makeup services. 

With over 10 years dedicated to mastering bridal looks in Santa Barbara and Ventura, and our policy of booking only one wedding per day, we offer undivided attention and tailored services. 

We specialize in delivering a personalized experience, traveling directly to our brides for utmost convenience. 

Our commitment to punctuality means we arrive on time, fully prepared with high-end, long-lasting makeup products and professional-grade equipment. 

Our service extends beyond makeup application; we maintain constant communication with the bride and her wedding planner or coordinator, ensuring seamless integration into the wedding day schedule. 

As a licensed and insured professional aesthetician, Frances brings the highest level of professionalism and trustworthiness. 

Our comprehensive approach, inclusive of personalized consultations, dedicated trials, and a bridal touchup kit, underscores the value we provide, making our pricing a reflection of the quality and dedication we bring to each wedding.

No need to worry. We book only one event per day so your makeup artist is completely dedicated to you on your wedding day.

Liability insurance is essential for multiple reasons. Firstly, it’s a sign of professionalism. It reassures clients that they’ll be taken care of in the rare event of an incident, like an allergic reaction, and there’s a formal way to address any financial consequences. Secondly, some high-end venues require makeup artists to have this insurance, ensuring they won’t be held financially responsible for any damage or injury caused by the artist’s services.

Absolutely! While in-person trials are beneficial, I understand that they may not always be an option, especially for clients not residing locally.

To accommodate this, I offer a detailed email consultation where we discuss your preferences, desired look, and any specific requirements.

On your wedding day, I allocate extra time to ensure we have a thorough in-person consultation. This approach allows us to make any necessary adjustments and achieve the perfect look for your special day, even without a prior in-person trial.

Trials are not required, but they are  recommended. You want to make sure the look you envision is the right fit. It also gives you an opportunity to meet your artist before the big day.

To make the most of your makeup trial, it’s best to arrive with day-old, dry hair and a clean face without any makeup. Wearing a white top or dress will give you a better sense of how your makeup will look with your wedding attire.

Please bring:

– A few inspiration photos of makeup looks you admire

– A photo of how you typically apply your makeup for a night out

– Any jewelry and hair accessories you plan to wear on your big day

– Photos of your wedding dress

Your retainer is refundable up to 90 days before your event. We always want brides to be 100% satisfied even if it’s not with our services.

Friday, Saturday and Sunday events require a four service minimum.

Absolutely! We offer makeup services for all the special moments leading up to your wedding. To learn more about how we can be a part of your journey to the aisle, check out our Special Events page for detailed information and booking options.
