Event & Wedding Makeup Artist Baltimore MD

Q. What brands of makeup do you use?

A. All the makeup products that we use are Professional Brands that were designed to give long-lasting results and photograph beautifully. They are bought through professional retailers and most brands can only be found in specialty stores.  Examples of some brands I use MAC, Makeup Forever, Urban Decay, Tarte, Laura Mercier, Mary Kay, NYX, and many more. 

Q. I am not sure what makeup look I want. Can you help?

A. Definitely!! If you are not sure what you are wanting, we would love to help. We try our best to ask a variety of questions to get an idea of what you may want. Remember, it is your day so if you aren't sure, we will usually stick with something more natural. We can always start out that way and work our way to a more dramatic look.

Q. Do you use airbrush makeup?

A. Yes! We specialize in Airbrush makeup and swear by it. Most of our wedding makeup has been done using Airbrush because it lasts longer and feels amazingly light on the skin. It has great coverage without feeling “heavy” on the skin. It does not “sweat off” or look cakey. I use the brand Temptu for all my airbrushing. Refer to our AIRBRUSH VS TRADITIONAL makeup page for details.

Q. If the bride chooses the airbrush or traditional makeup package, do the others have to do the same type of makeup choice?

A. No. If the bride chooses for example the airbrush package and half of her party wants traditional and the other half airbrush we can definitely do that. Not everyone has to have the same type of makeup, it’s completely up to them what they would like.

Q. Do you do tattoo cover-ups?

A. Yes! We love doing cover-ups and use special Airbrush makeup made for covering up tattoos. The Airbrush makeup is completely non-transferable and waterproof. No worrying about the makeup rubbing off on your wedding dress! We also do cover-ups for body acne, stretch marks, and uneven skin on the body. Please contact us for a custom quote depending on the size of the area.

Q. What if I'm not used to wearing makeup?

A. We always work with each client to ensure she looks her absolute best. If you are unsure about makeup, we will work together to create a look that enhances your best features and plays down the areas you may not be as happy with. We don’t want you to feel that we’ve transformed you into someone no one recognizes anymore – unless that's how you want to look!

Q. How long will my makeup last?

A. The Airbrush makeup lasts before needing touch-ups for up to 24 hours and traditional up to 10 hours. We have never had anyone say it didn't last so I know it will stand up in any weather.  We have done many brides at 6 in the morning and their makeup is perfect until the end of their reception. Of course, you will have your touch-up kit with the essentials you need depending on your skin type.  

Q. What happens if I cry/sweat?

A. Don't worry, everything we use for weddings is water-resistant or waterproof, from the foundation to the mascara. Simply dab your eyes or forehead with a tissue and keep on looking gorgeous!

Q. Do you have experience with different ethnic/acne/mature skin and hair types? 

A. Absolutely! We specialize in custom-blended makeup to match any skin tone no matter how dark or light. We LOVE working with the many different shades and tones of beauty! We also have a full range of professional skin care products that we use to prepare delicate, mature, sensitive, or acne-prone skin before makeup application to achieve the very best results.

Q. Why does the bridal makeup cost more than the others?

A. There is much more than makeup that goes into the bridal price. At Priscilla M Beauty I strive to make sure the bride can have all her questions or concerns answered always. So not only are we providing extra time for makeup and hair on the day of the wedding, but we are also including the time we spend with the bride over emails and calls and providing a timeline for the day of.

Q. How do you keep your products sanitary?

A. It’s very important to make sure that the person you hire for your hair and makeup is sanitary. We have been professionally trained to know how to keep everything clean and sanitary. We will have clean brushes and a tidy makeup kit. We always begin applying makeup using cleaned and disinfected brushes and products. Our brushes are cleaned before each work day and cleaned with antibacterial brush cleaners between clients. All eyeshadows, eye/lip liners, and along with other makeup products we use are disinfected with 99% hospital-grade alcohol sanitizer between usages as well.
