FAQs

1. How far in advance should I secure a booking?

For editorials, fashion shows or photoshoots, we work by availability and can often accommodate last-minute requests depending on our schedule.

2. Do you offer a bridal trial? Is it required?

A trial is highly recommended.
It allows us to craft your signature look with precision: skin preparation, tones, textures and overall harmony with your dress and venue.
It is not mandatory, but it ensures a perfectly mastered result on the day of your event.
