Bridal Hair & Makeup FAQs

Don’t worry! We use only high-quality, water-resistant, and waterproof products specifically designed to withstand tears, sweat, and long wedding days. From foundation to mascara, our products are carefully chosen to ensure your makeup stays flawless even through emotional moments or warm weather. If you do cry or sweat, simply dab (don't wipe) with a tissue to maintain your look.

We also take into account the San Diego climate, which can be humid, especially near the beach or on hot August days. When creating your hairstyle, we consider the location and weather to ensure that your hair remains beautiful and intact throughout your event. During your consultation, we’ll discuss the best hairstyle options based on your wedding setting—whether it’s indoors, outdoors, near the coast, or during warmer months.

Our priority is to make sure you feel confident and prepared for any situation, so you can enjoy your day without worrying about your glam!

Yes! We specialize in airbrush makeup and absolutely swear by it. Most of our bridal makeup applications are done using airbrush because it offers long-lasting wear while feeling incredibly light on the skin. Airbrush makeup provides full coverage without feeling heavy, giving a flawless, smooth finish that does not "sweat off" or look cakey, even in warm weather or during long events.

We use Temptu Airbrush Makeup, a top-of-the-line professional brand known for its durability and natural appearance.

In addition to airbrush makeup, we also offer traditional makeup applications. The choice between airbrush and traditional makeup is typically a collaborative decision between the stylist and the bride. We’ll assess your skin type, desired look, and preferences to determine which technique will work best for you on your special day.

We exclusively use professional-grade makeup products that are designed to deliver long-lasting results and look flawless in photographs. All of our products are sourced from professional retailers and many of the brands we use can only be found in specialty stores, ensuring the highest quality for our clients.
