Weddings can be booked up to a year in advance and no later than 3 months to ensure your date. However, if you are in a pinch, let your artist know, as accommodations can be arranged.

All bridal service bookings are treated with a little extra TLC. Please contact by email through SkyesArtistry's contact page for more information or send an inquiry to skyesartistry@gmail.com. Phone call or video consultations can also be arranged. 

Yes, a 50% deposit of the total booking fee is required to secure your artist for your special day. This ensures that your date is reserved exclusively for you and allows the artist to prepare fully for your event. 

Travel is complimentary for the first 30 kilometers, starting from Sarnia, Ontario. For any distance beyond that, a fee of $0.90 per additional kilometer will apply. Toll reimbursements and any parking fees will be calculated prior to event.

Trial runs should be booked 3-5 months in advance. It is recommended to book your trial on a day you have nothing else going on so that you receive 100% attention without the feeling of being rushed and having your mind on something else.

The bride will discuss different looks and the details of the wedding with the artist, such as dress color, wedding color palette, and overall theme. This is a time to try different shades and make any adjustments. The bride will receive a complete makeup service.

Brides should moisturize their skin prior to the trial; this will enable the makeup to go on smoother and last longer. Please do not receive a facial or wax your brows and/or face closer than 5 days prior to the event. It’s very important not to have any facial waxing done during the week of your makeup appointment. This is because waxing affects the consistency of the makeup and can end up looking patchy in the areas that have been waxed.

An average of 2 hours or so.

It's recommended that the bride bring in inspiration photos of makeup that are similar to their features. Please keep in mind, SkyesArtistry does not replicate other artist's work, but is happy to incorporate certain elements to create a custom look that reflects your unique vision. Check out SkyesArtistry's Vision Board for Makeup ideas, or I can create a customized look that suits your features and style.

Trials are reserved exclusively for the bride to ensure a personalized, focused experience. At this time, I do not accommodate guests or additional party members during trial appointments. 

More time and attention is spent with the bride from the very first day of contact, up until the day of the wedding. From phone calls, emails, contracts, and creating day-of schedules to the extra time spent getting the bride ready on her big day, additional touch-up time, and spending extra time on her makeup, the focus is always on her. Since the bride is the main client, as it’s her wedding day, all of this is included in the price. Since it’s a group, the others are less, which, if the bride is paying for them too, saves her money. The artist has to earn a certain amount for blocking out the time it takes too. The costs are all the artist's own–time, education/skills, products, mileage, and general costs of running a small business. That’s why the charge may seem a higher rate in general. 

Typically a total of 1.5 hours is spent on the bride's makeup. Bridesmaids will take about 45 minutes to 1 hour each unless someone has requested a more in-depth look. 

Have everyone in the bridal party arrive with clean moisturized skin compatible for fresh makeup. If you have SPF in your moisturizer, it's recommend avoiding anything over 15 SPF to avoid the “white face” look in photos. Exfoliate your lips so that your lipstick will stick, and whiten those pearly white teeth so that your smile stands out in photos. On the day of, wear a robe or button-down shirt to avoid disturbing your makeup when changing. Then, sit back, relax, and enjoy the pampering before you walk down the aisle. 

Yes! Typically for every wedding, 15 minutes is blocked off before leaving to ensure that everyone looks perfect! The artist will check for any smudges and apply powder or setting spray before leaving. Additional time is used for clean up and packing. 

Sometimes a family member or bridal party member may request services on the day of, which is completely fine if time allows! Any added service will be invoiced separately via email and must be paid in full by the end of day, unless other arrangements have been made in advance.

The answer is YES! I’m able to work around the lashes while avoiding getting makeup on them. Alternatively, if you prefer to wear strip or individual lashes I have plenty of styles and lengths to choose from. 

Try using blotting paper for touch ups. It wicks away oil while leaving makeup undisturbed. Simply pat and apply the blotting paper to oily/shiny areas of the face and use a light pressure for a few seconds.
