What's included
- One-on-one consultation about preferred makeup, skin tone, and the event vibe.
- On-location service at the client's chosen address inside the Bay Area and Northern California.
- Professional-grade product

- On-location service at the client's chosen address inside the Bay Area and Northern California.

Event-day timeline
The makeup appointment is built around the client's event-day timeline. The artist confirms event time and getting-ready location during booking, then arrives early enough to finish before the first scheduled moment. A typical session runs about 1 hour from setup to clean finish, leaving the client relaxed and on-time for the day's bigger moments.
Use cases
The non-bridal makeup service is built for client work that does not need wedding-specific styling. Common bookings include editorial and lifestyle photoshoots, birthday parties, anniversary dinners, baby shower portraits, milestone celebrations, family portrait sessions, headshot days, and corporate event appearances. The artist matches the look to the event's vibe rather than defaulting to a bridal palette.
Style and product approach
The artist matches the client's natural features, skin tone, and personal taste rather than forcing a single house style. The team supports natural finishes, soft glam, full glam, editorial-leaning looks, and event-specific palettes. Products are professional-grade with options for matte or dewy finish based on what the event calls for.
Travel and service area
On-location special-event makeup is offered across the Bay Area and Northern California. Travel beyond a 50-mile radius is quoted as a separate add-on at booking. The artist arrives with a portable kit and a clean styling station so almost any getting-ready room becomes a workable salon for the appointment.
Studio experience
The artist has finished more than one thousand on-location looks over a decade of beauty work. That experience carries directly into the non-bridal appointment: confident product choice, clean finishing, and a focused energy that fits the small window the client usually has on event day. The studio is licensed, certified, and carries liability insurance for every on-location appointment.
Booking and prep
A booking deposit holds the calendar slot. Final balance is due before the appointment begins. The non-bridal appointment is scheduled by the studio so the timing matches the event's photo schedule and venue access. A pre-event consultation by phone or in person is offered as a separate appointment and is the recommended way to lock in the final look.
Add-ons available at booking
Common add-ons include airbrush makeup application, false lash application, clip-in hair extension installment (client provides clips), and Hollywood-wave finishing. Early-bird arrival fees apply for appointments before 8:30am. Lodging and a vendor meal are required when the artist works more than six hours.
Post-appointment care
After the appointment is finished, the artist leaves the client with a small touch-up kit so the look stays consistent through the event. Light reapplication keeps the finish natural through photos and venue light.
Product quality tier
The artist uses professional makeup products chosen for hold, weather durability, and natural finish. Foundation, concealer, eye, and lip products are all from professional lines designed for editorial and event work. The client is finished with a setting product matched to her skin type and the day's expected conditions.
