Frequently Asked Questions

I’ve done other bridal makeup trials and HATED them. What makes you different?

Unfortunately, a lot of makeup artists charge a hefty fee for a makeup trial and don’t really listen to what the bride wants, leaving them worried about how they’ll look on their wedding day. At Sophia's Beauty Makeup, I don’t do your typical “makeup trial.”  Instead, I do a strategy session. We'll discuss your skin type, skincare routine, makeup likes and dislikes, your bridal inspiration, and more. I then do a bridal preview where we take all of that into account to do a test run for your wedding day makeup and take copious photos so when the wedding day comes, we’re able to perfectly recreate it. 

Do you come to my bridal suite, or do I need to drive to a salon?

For all my services, from the glam strategy session and bridal makeup preview to the morning of your wedding day, I come to you.

I love your services, but still need a hairstylist. Can you recommend someone? 

Yes!  I have a whole lineup of seasoned professionals whom we recommend to my clients.

What if I cry my eyes out at the altar? Or if it’s 100 degrees and humid? Or if my lips get a little  dry from chatting so much at cocktail hour? Or if I get really sweaty on the dance floor?

With my signature Bridal Beauty Collection I am with you the whole time to take care of any touch-ups or last minute issues. Just like a celebrity would have her glam squad with her to fix her makeup at the Oscars, I will be there to make sure you look your best the entire day. 

I’m having a destination wedding. Do you travel?

Absolutely! I can talk with you about this when you schedule your coffee date with me. 

My girls need to look amazing too. Can you do my whole bridal party?

I specialize in cohesive bridal party makeup looks that compliment the bride and the whole vibe of the wedding. Since most of our brides opt to give the makeup application as a bridesmaid gift, I decided to offer this as a service. You’ll get a beautiful little Sophia's Beauty Makeup Certificate to give to each member of your bride squad when you book your bridal entourage makeup.

My mom wants me to have a classic look for church, but I’m dying for a sexy smoky eye look. What should I do?

With my  Full Service Collection, I'm able to give two unique makeup looks for your wedding day. Want to keep the same look all day? No worries - I do a major touch-up before the reception starts to refresh that morning’s initial application.

Will you do my bridal shower/engagement shoot/rehearsal dinner makeup?

My brides are beauty-obsessed and want to look their best at every milestone event. With my Full Service Collection, you get a bridal preview, an additional makeup session with me for any of your other wedding events, and your wedding day makeup. Brides usually opt to do my strategy session/bridal preview on the day of their engagement party or engagement shoot, and the additional session before their bridal shower or bachelorette party.

My fiance has a HUGE zit on the day of our wedding! Help!

Sophia's Beauty Makeup to the rescue! I even do touch-ups/skincare on grooms on the wedding day if needed.
