Question 1

What makeup products do you use?

Accepted Answer

I use a variety of high-end makeup brands, I’ve tested out many cosmetics so I use what I believe works well for our North QLD climate and what I’ve found to work well with sensitive skin & eyes. Some of those brands are Inglot, Shanghai Suzy, Modelrock, Esmi, Poni cosmetics, Stila and hourglass just to name a few.

Question 2

How long will makeup take on the day?

Accepted Answer

Allow 45mins per person and 1hr for the bride, I always include time for setup, cleaning brushes, touchups and pack up so I’m with you for a while. Usually no one is going anywhere anyway so it should be quite a relaxing and enjoyable day for you. If you are at a hair salon then timings can be tighter and I wont be with you for touchups prior to you heading to your ceremony, but in saying that I’ve been to many hair salons for prep and its always been great.

Question 3

Can I purchase the lipstick we used at the trial or come into shop to buy one?

Accepted Answer

Yes you can, I stock all the lipstick options at my shop location so whatever you trial I’ll have in shop. I stock lipsticks and other product by Modelrock, Shanghai Suzy and Inglot with new additions arriving throughout the year.

Question 4

Do you provide a lipstick for touchups?

Accepted Answer

No I don't, lipsticks are available for purchase in studio. I don't bring lipsticks to purchase with me on the day of the wedding, you would need to purchase prior to the date.

Question 5

Is there a travel fee?

Accepted Answer

Yes there is a minimum fee to leave my studio and then p/km fee to travel to your destination. POA for travel fee once you have a location sorted.

Question 6

Do you require a deposit?

Accepted Answer

For weddings or group bookings yes as deposit of $150 is required. If booking online for in studio makeup a deposit will be taken at time of booking. Deposits are required to secure the time/date. When you take a spot other enquiries for that time/date cannot get in which is why the deposit becomes non-refundable but does go toward the total due.

Question 7

When is the remaining balance due?

Accepted Answer

Remaining payment for wedding makeup is due at least 1-2 weeks prior to the date. I do not take any payments whether that be card or cash on the day.

Question 8

Should I have a trial before the day?

Accepted Answer

A trial can be helpful in making sure everything on the day runs smoothly, it allows us to try a different lipstick and discuss details. Decisions that are not factored into the wedding day timings. Makeup can look too much at a trial without all the other pieces that you’d have on your wedding day so its a good idea to at least have your hair trial on the same day if possible. Some brides have their makeup trial done for their engagement shoot which is a great idea because you’ll get to see how the makeup looks in photos and you’ll be able to determine whether you need more or less etc.

Question 9

Can you recommend a mobile hairdresser?

Accepted Answer

Yes I have worked with a few around Townsville and can give recommendations. They are also welcome at my studio for your trial so you’ve got one location to do both hair and makeup.

Question 10

What time will you arrive?

Accepted Answer

I would have spoken with you about your plans for the day and will work out an arrival time based on when you need to be finished by, including touchups before I leave. Usually the time is based on when a photographer needs you to be ready which is really important and sometimes overlooked so speak to them and find out what timeline they have with you. If a photographer isn’t coming for pre-photos then I would base the time on when you need to leave by and include time for dressing so usually 1.5-2hrs prior to that.

Question 11

How do I book?

Accepted Answer

Please make contact for wedding makeup interest via email at hello@beccyjean.com I will need contact details (your phone & email) and if you know your location on the day for getting ready, plus who will be having makeup done and a ceremony time would be great to know please. If its early stages and you are not sure then contact details is fine for the time being.
