Common Topics

  • We invite you to please visit the makeup services page and read through the detailed descriptions for each service. If after reading through the services you still need help deciding which service is best for you, you can schedule a consult call with our makeup artist. To schedule a consult call, contact us.

  • Set up your computer near a window. Be sure you are facing the light. You do not want to be backlit as that makes it difficult to see your face. Have your makeup, tools, and makeup remover readily available. If your appointment is for a makeup tutorial, be ready with a clean moisturized face.

  • For our Assess, Buy, Apply, signature service, the in-person shopping appointment will take place at 1–2 stores in SoHo, NYC including Bloomingdale’s and/or MAC Cosmetics. For a Seasonal Shop appointment, in-person shopping will take place at 1 store in SoHo, NYC including Bloomingdale’s, MAC Cosmetics, or Sephora. Based on your needs, your makeup artist will decide which stores are best for your session. At this time we are not able to accommodate special requests for alternate store options.

  • Our makeup artist will make sure that at least 50% of the products recommended to you are cruelty-free. Upon special request, our makeup artist is available to make product recommendations from only cruelty-free brands.

  • Per the PETA website, "Cruelty-free means that the product was developed without any tests on animals, while vegan means that the product does not include any animal derived ingredients." It's possible for a makeup product to be cruelty-free, but not vegan. To find out if a product is vegan, check the ingredients label. To find out if a product is cruelty-free, look for “no animal testing” or a certified cruelty-free stamp on the label.
