I travel to my client equipped with my makeup kit, all my tools for the job, and a comfortable tall makeup chair. Ensuring we can set up in a bright space with natural lighting is key to achieving a flawless makeup application, so I always ask my clients to think about a good space we can set up in with good lighting. I also might bring a light or table to ensure we get the best makeup if it’s an earlier morning shoot or if space is limited. I usually ask ahead of time for photos of outfit and or selfies so I can think on your look, colors, spacing, symmetry, etc.. :)
