FAQs
How do I prepare for my makeup application?
Make sure that you are consistent with your skincare regimen (cleansing and moisturizing AM & PM), drinking plenty of water, using a gentle exfoliator twice a week, and cleaning up your brows (tweezing, trimming, waxing, or threading). Keep in mind, if you plan on getting your eyebrows waxed, make SURE that you do this 2 weeks before your appointment otherwise the makeup won’t stick around your brows!
where do you work out of?
I take clients out of my home in Wixom or can travel to you for my travel fee of $25 + $1 per mile. For your wedding, I travel on-site to your getting ready location.
Are there any additional fees for having to bring a second artist?
No! The only additional fee will be the same travel fee of $25 + $1 per mile.
Do you have a minimum # of girls required to book a wedding?
No! I am more than happy to service small and large wedding parties, as well as, just the bride.
How far do you travel?
I travel up to 1.5 hours away.
How long does the makeup application take?
Each client typically takes me about 45 minutes to complete.
Bridal trials typically take up to 90 minutes. That gives us enough time to discuss the look you are envisioning, fill out an intake form which provides me with the information on the day of, and allows us some grace time at the end in case we want to make any adjustments to the look until you are 100% confident in it.
Do you do hair?
I don't do hair, however, I have a few really great hair stylists that I work with often that I highly recommend! I have their pages tagged in my Instagram story highlight called "Hair Recs" @haleybensonbeauty.
How far in advance should I schedule my bridal trial?
This is up to you! I would recommend at least 3 months before your wedding.
Do you have a team of artists to help with large parties or short timeframes?
Yes! I have a team of 4 incredibly talented artists who all share the same artistry style as I do. They all have at least 3 years of experience working weddings and are chosen based on availability.
What form of payments do you accept?
Cash, Zelle, and Venmo.
What do I need for my bridal trial?
Inspiration photos of the look you want (save from my Instagram page @haleybensonbeauty or Pinterest) and your payment of $125.
Do you do airbrush makeup?
I currently offer traditional (brushes) makeup application only. I believe it gives me more control and ability to customize each look based on each persons skin type. However, a couple artists on my team offer airbrush, so if you know you absolutely want that - I can book you with one of them!
What makeup brands do you use?
I use high-end, professional grade products to ensure longevity and the best results. Some of my most used makeup brands are Kryolan, Inglot, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Charlotte Tilbury, and Viseart.
How long will my makeup last?
Your makeup will last all day and night. The only touch up that should be needed throughout the day would be your lips and I give you a touch up kit with a sample jar of your lipstick and a lip wand for when that is needed.
