Day of Wedding Bride/Bridal Party Airbrush Makeup:
AIRBRUSH MAKEUP: $150 per client (**lashes included in this price. Bride and bridal party are same price. I use the same products and highest quality expertise and care on everyone equally, no one will feel rushed). Bride and bridal party airbrush makeup is offered on site at the location of your choice! My airbrush make up is vegan and cruelty free and loaded with vitamins ACE- good for your skin! I can custom blend your desired coverage, color match for every skin tone, and is suitable for all skin textures. It is also oil free, waterproof and guaranteed to last all day in the summer beach heat or in any weather! Transfer proof, so no alarming product showing up on your new hubs/guests after hugs! Should you cry (which is happy tears of course!) I compare it to water trickling off a birds feather, it can gently be dabbed/wiped away without removing any make up! (***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.)
LASHES: False Lashes are HIGHLY recommended but not required, (**the price is the same with/without lashes, $150 per client.) 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/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 cloth or makeup wipe.
BRIDAL MAKEUP TRIAL: $100 paid on day of trial. Trials are a separate service then the day of contract upon booking. 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 are held at my home studio in West OCMD. 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 DETAILS: On site Travel, Booking Minimums, Deposits
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). I provide my own chair and ring light to every location.
BOOKING MINIMUM- $600 (Minimum is Bride +3, or $600). I can accommodate up to 9 total clients alone, more than that I will need to secure an assistant. The extra artist fee is $100. I have a few assistants whom I work with often, and prefer to schedule with me, in order to ensure their availability, if you know you will have a large party, please secure this immediately upon booking. If you are unsure of your exact number of services needed but want to save the date, you are welcome to book the minimum and we can always add services at any time as long as your day of timeline permits (once the contract is signed, no service subtractions are permitted.)
WEDDING DAY GETTING READY TIMELINE: Services typically take me 30-40 mins per client and 45-60 mins for the bride. I provide touch ups for all clients prior to my departure to ensure everyone feels fresh and flawless. I highly recommend coordinating the timeline with myself, photographer, venue, and planner at least 1-2 months prior to your wedding day. I only book one wedding per day for myself so I am flexible on arrival. The timeline we discuss will include plenty of wiggle room, touch ups, and my set up/breakdown to ensure a smooth stress free morning. My only kind request, please be on time for your “getting ready start time”. This is imperative to ensure you have a smooth morning, that no one feels rushed during their service, or pushback into your other vendors timelines. Even “just ten minutes late” can create a domino effect on the morning.
BOOKING DEPOSIT/SAVE THE DATE- To save your date a signed contract and retainer of $250 is required. The retainer is non refundable if any cancellations occur, it is applied to your final day of balance. My calendar fills up a year in advance, I am booking for 2023 currently with very limited 2022 dates open. Dates are first come first serve based on signed contract and deposit. I don’t assume the date is booked without those two commitments. Sadly some clients reach back out a month or two later and the date is gone. I wish I could accommodate everyone, it breaks my heart turning away anyone!

"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!"
