FAQ
+ What brands of makeup do you use?
My makeup has a reputation of lasting all day with only a lip color/gloss touch up as well as blot papers for shine. I am experienced with most makeup lines and use a variety of products from Charlotte Tilbury, MAC, Dior Cosmetics, Giorgio Armani, Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, Smashbox, and Urban Decay. If there specific products you prefer to use I am happy to incorporate this into your look.
+ When should I schedule my wedding trial?
I have the most flexibility and availability during my slow season (November-February). If you cannot schedule early it is beneficial to schedule at least 6-8 weeks before your wedding to ensure you get an appointment time that is convenient for you. I book trials on weekdays as I reserve weekends for weddings/events.
+ DO YOU COME ON-SITE THE DAY OF MY EVENT?
Yes, I am happy to travel to your requested location. If your location is 15 or more miles from my zip code 92103, travel rates will apply. If there are multiple locations requested, fees will also apply. Please inquire for more information on your specific location.
+ Do I need to put a deposit down to hold my date?
Yes, for event bookings such as weddings a completed contract and a deposit of $250 is required to secure your date. Your deposit will be applied to your final day-of event balance. For non-event bookings such as private makeup sessions a reservation fee is required. The reservation fee is 50% of your total cost. I reserve dates on a first come first serve basis. Your date is not secure until your deposit has been received.
+ Is there a minimum amount of services required to book my wedding?
Yes, there is a minimum amount of makeup services required to book for weddings scheduled for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I require a minimum booking of bride plus 4 other makeup services. For weekday weddings I have more flexibility to book smaller parties. Please inquire for more information.
+ Is there a minimum amount of services to book non-wedding events?
Yes, there is a minimum amount of services required to book non-wedding events. Please inquire for more information.
+ Can you accommodate larger parties?
Absolutely! I can accommodate as many services as needed. In the event you need me to hire one or more of my colleagues there is a $125 charge per additional artist. This is a great option to have a later start and allow for sleeping in!
+ What forms of payment do you take?
I accept Venmo, Zelle, Paypal, cash, or check. Credit cards are also welcome with a 4% fee added to your total.
+ Where will my wedding trial take place?
I schedule trials at Natalie Bray Studios, my shared studio space in La Jolla. An on-site trial is also available. Parking and travel rates may apply.
