Wedding FAQ

WHEN SHOULD I BOOK MY beauty TEAM FOR MY WEDDING DAY?

After finalizing your wedding date and hiring your photographer, you should consider booking your makeup team. In 2018 & 2019 brides booked an average of 9-15 months prior to their wedding date -- in some instances sooner.

HOW CAN I BOOK MY WEDDING WITH lovelykind?

We require a 30% nonrefundable retainer and signed agreement to secure services for your date. To receive your customized proposal and agreement, fill out the contact form.

WHAT IF I'M NOT SURE ABOUT THE NUMBER OF SERVICES... CAN I ADD ON LATER?

Short answer, yes. However, we book our weddings & artists based on the number of services provided in our agreement at the time of booking. We can modify the agreement once it has been executed to include add on services based on availability. This means if you're adding on many services later on, those artists once available may be booked. We recommend getting a firm number at the time of booking or soon thereafter.

DO YOU OFFER TRIAL APPOINTMENTS?

Yes. Trial appointments can be booked online before booking your wedding OR in most cases, are included with your wedding package. Trial appointments are held at our Houston Studio by appointment only. 

WHEN SHOULD I SCHEDULE MY TRIAL RUN FOR BRIDAL MAKEUP?

We recommend you book your trial just as soon as you have a date in mind. Consider the weather/temperature. If you're getting married in the winter, try to schedule your trial in early spring or fall so it's similar to the weather. Trials are held at our studio weekdays  and are by appointment only.

HOW LONG DO APPOINTMENTS LAST?

Hair and makeup appointments last about an hour and a half. Please arrive with a clean, makeup-free face and clean, dry hair. 

Beauty FAQ

 HOW DOES AIRBRUSH MAKEUP WORK & how is it different?

 Airbrush makeup is sprayed on through an air compressor as a fine mist of color that gently covers the skin, giving the appearance of a flawless complexion. Spraying microdots of makeup that rest on the surface of the face looks more natural than traditional makeup because it isn't rubbed into the skin and doesn't exaggerate the pores. This process allows the airbrush makeup to conceal better while enabling your skin to breathe.

Airbrush makeup leaves a light, seamless veil of color over the skin, creating the illusion of a perfect face. The ability to mix Airbrush foundation colors for individual custom blends is unsurpassed, resulting in a more natural look that covers skin imperfections effortlessly. The Airbrush makeup is a water based formula, whereas, traditional foundations are alcohol or silicone based. It's perfect for those with sensitive skin. The feel is natural, the look is flawless, fresh looking skin which looks beautiful in person, makeup that looks amazing and undetectable in photographs. It is a high performance cosmetic and is rated to last up to 12 hours. 

DO YOU OFFER REGULAR FOUNDATION AS AN OPTION?

Absolutely. While we love airbrush makeup and how well it performs with HD cameras, we understand it may not be perfect for every skin type. Our artists carry both types in their kits and will determine the perfect choice for you. 

 WHAT'S INCLUDED IN YOUR FULL MAKEUP APPLICATION?

With each and every service, you will receive a full makeup application with which we pay close attention to detail. Our makeup artistry features a long-wearing skin-enhancing makeup that includes full coverage of needed areas, a natural application of only the best products that will contour, highlight and showcase your best features. We also offer false lash application along with your makeup service ranging from the most subtle to enhance your eyes, to the most bold and sky high.

what products do you use?

Our artists carry Laura Mercier, Chanel, Bobbi Brown, Tarte, Nars, Charlotte Tilbury, Mac, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Dinair, Dior, Givenchy, Buxom, Milk Cosmetics, Patrick Ta, Becca & Estee Lauder products in our kits. 

It's hard to believe that we also carry the same $9 mascara you can scoop up at the drugstore, but it's true.  An excellent product meets all our criteria—how it wears throughout the day, how it photographs, how easy it is to apply, and how many different, versatile ways you can use and wear it regardless of its price point. 

Fiona Stiles, Vincent Oquendo, Ariel Tejada and many others carry and swear by products you can find at your local drugstore. After more than a decade of trial and error, you can rest assured we will bring you the best products on the market and yes, a handful of them are not considered "luxury".
