"Can you travel to me for my makeup application? If so, do you charge a travel fee?"
I will always offer to travel to you! Whether it is your wedding day, a makeup trial or even just a simple glam for a night out on the town, I want to make your special day as relaxing and as easy for you as humanly possible!
My prices include travel up to 10 miles from 11779. Traveling outside of that 10 mile span will incur a travel fee. To avoid a travel fee, you are also welcome to come to my location in Ronkonkoma for your glam.
“What are the differences between…
A) Traditional Makeup Application vs. Airbrush Makeup Application?
B) Individual lashes vs. Strip lashes?
Did you know?
All of my makeup applications include your choice of individual or strip lashes.
A) The main differences between Traditional vs. Airbrush are how the foundation is applied to your face as well as the consistency. Traditional makeup is regular foundation applied with a brush and/or sponge, whereas an airbrush application is foundation applied through an air compressor. Traditional foundation tends to feel a little bit heavier and airbrush foundation feels, well, like air! Both products are equally amazing and serve their own purposes for each client’s needs.
For my clients who want a fuller coverage due to skin concerns or wanting a more dramatic glam, I would suggest choosing traditional foundation. The foundation is applied in layers with a brush and/or sponge and allows for extra coverage in certain areas that need it most. For my clients who want a more subtle, lightweight coverage, I would reach for the airbrush compressor. Depending on skin type, either a silicone or a water-based foundation is dropped into the airbrush well and the makeup is applied to the skin with a fine mist of said foundation. Because of the airbrush's fine mist, its application provides more of a lightweight, even and natural coverage while still allowing the skin to breathe. Airbrush makeup is also water/sweat resistant and has a bit more staying power.
Whichever type you choose, both options will look great, will be long-lasting and are both hypoallergenic.
My personal favorite: Airbrush
B) As for individual vs. strip lashes, the main difference is comfort.
Individuals are little clusters/bunches that have about 10-15 single lashes per cluster. The amount of clusters that go on each eye depends on how natural or dramatic you want your lashes to appear. About 10 clusters are applied on each eye to start and more can be added if more drama is desired. Each cluster is applied with a dab of lash glue to the base of the natural lash line. They are super lightweight, more natural and there is more flexibility in creating the lash you desire.
A strip lash is a bunch of lashes that come pre-made on a single fabric or plastic band; they come in a variety of volumes, lengths, shapes, and densities. Strip lashes tend to feel a little heavier and lean more towards the dramatic side. Strips are measured and cut (if necessary) to fit your eye shape and are also applied with lash glue to the skin along your natural lash line. The only con to strip lashes is that they are notoriously known to lift in the inner and/or outer corners; no matter how well your artist (including me!) glues the band to your lash line, natural elements, such as wind and tears, can break down the glue, resulting in the band coming loose and lifting, which can lead to discomfort. If an individual cluster falls off, it is barely, if at all, noticeable.
All in all, both lashes make fabulous options and are both easy to remove as long as you are gentle.
My personal favorite: Individuals - they are used 90% of the time on my clients.
