Day of Wedding Airbrush Makeup

AIRBRUSH MAKEUP $150 PER CLIENT

Individual Lashes are included in this price. The bride and bridal party are charged the same rate. I apply the same high-quality products and expertise to everyone to ensure no one feels rushed.

The bride and bridal party can enjoy airbrush makeup, conveniently offered at your chosen location.

I provide custom blending to achieve your desired coverage and precise color matching for every skin tone, accommodating all skin textures. It's oil-free and waterproof, designed to withstand the various weather conditions. The makeup is transfer-proof, which means you won't have to worry about any product appearing on your new spouse or guests after hugs.

In the event of happy tears, our formula functions like water trickling off a bird's feather, allowing you to gently dab or wipe away any moisture without compromising your makeup.

(*I only offer airbrush makeup, if anyone has any concerns or allergies you are welcome to bring your own personal foundation, however the same price of $150 is applied.)

INDIVIDUAL LASH APPLICATION

I use individual lashes and can customize a flawless lash look to suit your personal needs. I offer many different lengths, sizes, and volumes from “no makeup-makeup” to “total show stopping 3D GLAM.” The lashes are applied with a vegan latex glue that won’t cause any harm to your natural lashes. The lashes will feel light as a feather—no heavy bands from lash strips, no flapping edges lifting, or poking in the corners.

With gentle care, the lashes will remain on for 24-48 hours; however, I personally remove mine at the end of the evening to ensure total eye and face cleanliness. To remove, you will need to use an oil-based cleanser, lather the lash line with the cleanser, and gently remove with warm water and a cloth or makeup wipe.

*The price is the same with or without lashes.

BRIDAL MAKEUP TRIAL $100

Trials are a separate service. They are optional, if desired, most of my clients choose to plan their trial around a special event such as engagement or bridal photos if both schedules permit. They last about 1 hour or less in length. Trials are held M-TH, with some Friday openings if not booked on weddings. I need at least a 3-4 week notice to schedule your trial.

BOOKING TERMS

ON-SITE DAY OF TRAVEL

$100 flat rate up to one hour from West OCMD.

I travel to locations up to 1 hour or less from Ocean City, Maryland. (ie. Lewes, Bethany, Rehoboth, Dewey, Fenwick, Selbyville, Bishopville, Salisbury, Delmar, Chincoteague, Cambridge etc).

BOOKING MINIMUM

$600 (Minimum is Bride +3, or $600).

If you are uncertain about the exact number of services needed but wish to reserve the date, you are welcome to book the minimum services. Additional services can be added at any time, provided your day-of timeline allows it. Please note that once the contract is signed, no service reductions are permitted. Trial not included in minimum.

WEDDING DAY GETTING READY TIMELINE

30-45 minutes per service/client

It is highly advisable to coordinate the timeline with hair, makeup, photographer, venue, and planner at least 1-2 months prior to your wedding day.

I only book one wedding per day, allowing for flexibility in arrival. The timeline we establish will factor in sufficient preparation for set up, break down, and final touch ups, to allow for a smooth, stress-free morning.

I kindly request that all clients arrive on time for their “getting ready start time.” This is crucial for maintaining a seamless morning experience and ensuring that no one feels rushed during their service. A delay of even ten minutes can lead to a schedule effect, potentially impacting other vendors.

I can accommodate up to 9 total clients alone; any additional clients will require an assistant. There is an extra artist fee of $100 for this service. I have several assistants I work with regularly, and I prefer scheduling through me to ensure their availability. If you anticipate a large party, please secure an assistant immediately upon booking.

BOOKING DEPOSIT/SAVE THE DATE

$250 deposit and signed contract is required.

The retainer is non-refundable if any cancellations occur. The $250 deposit is applied to your final day of balance. My calendar fills up a year in advance, as I am currently booking for 2025-2026. Dates are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, contingent upon BOTH signed contract and deposit. I do not assume the date is booked without these two commitments. Unfortunately, some clients reach out a month or two later, only to find that the date is no longer available. All legal binding contract and all payments are securely performed on my professional booking platform, Honeybook, to eliminate any fraud, scams, or compromised security information.

First step. Fill out a booking request form on the following link and I will create your custom client portal for all communication, contract, and payments. No personal emails, no mailed in personal checks, or social media messages will be allowed, to ensure a secure, streamlined, and organized process for all parties.

"Kara was absolutely amazing! Not only did she listen to what it was that I wanted but she gave my non- makeup wearing bridesmaids a fresh and natural look! My makeup stayed on all night and even throughout the morning!"
