"Trista is absolutely amazing to work with! As a professional photographer, I have used her for her makeup services for many of my clients for photo shoots. She is extremely personable and fun to work with. She genuinely listens to what the client wants, and exceeds expectations every time! I can not recommend her more! She is a master at her craft"!

What is included in your services?
Every makeup application includes the following:
Personalized Skin Prep: tailored to your specific skin needs
Lashes: your choice from natural to glam (excludes children).
Lasting Power: every look is layered with a cream base and set with powder formulas to prevent fading then sealed with a long lasting, waterproof setting spray to keep makeup transfer-resistant and lasting well into the night. Waterproof mascara and eyeliner is used so it's safe to cry those tears of joy.
Touch-up Kit: you will receive a sample of your lip product with an applicator and oil blotting paper to keep yourself looking fresh (bride only).
How do I hold my wedding date?
To hold your wedding date I require a 50% deposit of total services and a signed contract. The remainder of the balance is due on the day of service. Email correspondence and Bridal Previews do not hold your wedding date.
How does the Bridal Preview work?
Previews are held at my house in Bellingham, WA and are a cost of $120 that is due the day of your preview. I can travel to you for a travel fee of $1/mile round trip.
Benefits of a preview include:​
-
An opportunity for you to see what your dream look looks like. You may decide the look you selected from your inspo pic(s) isn't a good fit. We can make tweaks to perfect it.
-
Test how the makeup holds up throughout the day.
-
Peace of mind that you’ll be satisfied and confident with how you look on your wedding day.
-
A good time for us to organize for the day of your wedding.
-
Worried about the added cost? Schedule it around an upcoming occasion you would want makeup for anyways. Think, engagement shoot, bridal shower, or bachelorette party.
How should I prepare for my preview?
-
Send ahead of time your inspo pic(s) of someone with similar skin tone and what you like about it. The more specific about what you like the better.
-
Have realistic expectations. Most pictures on social media are filtered and angled to look perfect.
-
Have some favorite makeup products like a foundation or lipstick? Bring them!
-
Arrive with a clean face, no makeup or mascara.
-
Wear a top that replicates your dress color and neck line.
-
If you don't normally wear makeup, it will most likely feel like a lot and easily overwhelming, even for "natural" looks. Know that it will photograph beautifully and last you all day and night.
-
Don’t shy away from providing honest feedback. I want you leaving with the perfect look but it takes two to get there. You won't hurt my feelings, we can always make adjustments.
What is the wedding day timeline?
You can expect 15 minute setup and 15 minute teardown. I take 1 hour with each client and 1.5 hours with the bride. This time includes sanitizing and cleaning between clients. Parties over 6 will require an assistant. It is not uncommon to start makeup as early as 7am to accommodate timelines.
