Frequently asked questions
General questions
- It depends on the type of makeup: 60 minutes for day makeup, 60 to 90 minutes for photoshoot or event makeup, and 90 to 120 minutes for bridal makeup.

My kit includes Make Up For Ever, Charlotte Tilbury, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Armani Beauty, Pat McGrath, Natasha Denona, Hourglass, Estée Lauder, Lancôme, MAC, Huda Beauty, Fenty Beauty, Rare Beauty, Makeup by Mario, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Benefit Cosmetics, IT Cosmetics, Iconic London, Tarte, Inglot, Kiko Milano, L'Oréal Paris, Maybelline, NYX and Alix Avien Paris. I pick shades and textures for your skin type and for the occasion, never from a template.
- You can book a makeup appointment through several channels: directly on this website using the integrated online booking system (cal.com), on WhatsApp, or via a message on Instagram. The date is reserved once you pay a deposit of 30-40% of the total value, depending on the service. I recommend booking early to ensure availability for your preferred date and time.
- Yes. For a wedding or an event with a fixed date, book as soon as the date is set. For regular makeup, 5-6 days ahead is usually enough, except during wedding and holiday season, when slots fill up fast.
- Yes, I offer makeup services with travel in Bucharest and the surrounding area; a travel fee applies depending on the distance.
- You can pay by cash or card.
- The deposit confirms your booking and is non-refundable. If you cancel more than 7 days before your appointment, you can transfer it once to a new date, subject to availability. If you cancel less than 7 days before, or do not show up, the deposit is lost in full.
Frequently asked questions about bridal makeup
- A full bridal makeup session takes between 90 and 120 minutes, including skin preparation and makeup application.
- To reserve your date, a deposit of 30-40% of the total amount is required. Once the deposit is paid, your date is confirmed and reserved for you.
- The trial session lasts approximately 2 hours and is charged separately from the wedding-day makeup. See the price list
- Yes. False lashes are included with every type of makeup.
- To respect the agreed schedule, there is a maximum 20-minute grace period. For events (weddings), punctuality is essential for the smooth running of the entire program. Up to 20 minutes late: the service will be performed, but the duration may be adjusted to avoid affecting subsequent bookings. More than 20 minutes late: the appointment is considered cancelled and can no longer be honored.
- The bridal makeup trial is usually done 2-4 weeks before the wedding, but can be scheduled earlier if you prefer. I recommend the trial takes place after all the important details are confirmed (dress, accessories, hairstyle), for the most harmonious result.
- Yes, I will gladly come to your home, hotel or event venue, anywhere in Bucharest and the surrounding area. A travel fee applies depending on distance, and for busy wedding-season mornings I recommend booking the travel early, together with your date.
Frequently asked questions about event makeup
- During wedding season, I recommend booking a few months ahead, as soon as you know the date of the event: slots fill up fast. Off-season, booking 5-6 days ahead is enough.
- For evening events I recommend a more dramatic look, with emphasis on the eyes: smokey eye, graphic eyeliner, subtle glitter or intense colors that stand out in artificial light. Of course, it all depends on your own style too, and on how used you are to wearing makeup.
- Yes. Individual cluster lashes are included with every type of makeup. I select them in different lengths and curls, customized to your eye shape, for a natural lengthening and eye-opening effect without any heaviness on the lids.
- To respect the agreed schedule, there is a maximum 20-minute grace period. Up to 20 minutes late: the service will be performed, but the duration may be adjusted to avoid affecting subsequent bookings. More than 20 minutes late: the appointment is considered cancelled and can no longer be honored.
- A session takes 60-90 minutes on average. This window lets me go through every stage with care, from skin preparation to perfecting the finish and the final setting.
- Absolutely. Inspiration photos are an excellent starting point for understanding the style you resonate with. Before we start, we discuss how to adapt that idea to your unique features.
- Yes, I can come to your home, hotel or event venue, in Bucharest and the surrounding area, with a travel fee depending on distance. Mention the address when you book.
Frequently asked questions about photoshoot makeup
- Photoshoot makeup requires specific techniques that look great on camera: higher intensity, precise contouring, and products that don't reflect flash.
- Yes, I frequently collaborate with professional photographers and can recommend trusted partners for your session.
- On average 60-90 minutes, depending on the complexity of the concept. For editorial looks or look changes during the shoot, we agree on the time needed beforehand.
- With clean, moisturized skin and no makeup. If you have a moodboard or references from your photographer, bring them along: they help us align the makeup with the light and the concept of the shoot.
- Yes. I use matte or satin-finish products that do not reflect strong light and hold up in front of high-resolution cameras, for both photo and video.
Frequently asked questions about day makeup
- A day makeup session takes about 60 minutes, depending on the desired look and your skin type.
- Yes, it's ideal for the office or any professional context. I use lightweight-texture products and neutral tones that create a polished appearance without being overdone.
- Day makeup lasts 10-12 hours, sometimes even longer, depending on your skin type and how active your day is. At the end of the appointment I also give you a few touch-up tips, so you can keep it flawless all day long.
- Absolutely. Before your appointment we'll discuss your preferences: whether you want a no-makeup look, a luminous finish or something more defined, I'll adapt the technique to what you have in mind.
- For a small civil ceremony or a brunch, a more defined day makeup can be enough. For weddings, christenings or parties I recommend event makeup, designed for artificial light and longer wear.
Frequently asked questions about the course
- Any level, from complete beginner to intermediate. The most common starting point is "I tried tutorials and gave up", and that is not a problem, it is exactly why the course exists. I adapt the content to what you already know.
- The course is one to one, but you can also come with a friend, in which case the price goes down for both of you.
- In Bucharest, Sector 2. I send you the exact address once your booking is confirmed.
- Nothing is required, but do bring the products and brushes you currently use, including the ones you are unsure about or have never used: your kit is the first thing we look at. Come with clean skin and no makeup on.
- Both. You practise on my professional products and brushes, so you can try textures and shades before spending money on them. At the start we look at what your kit holds, and at the end I give you the verdict: what works, what has expired, what does not suit you and what is worth replacing. You do not need to buy anything beforehand.
- Your personalised makeup chart, with your face morphology, skin tone, undertone, face corrections and the colours that suit you, plus recommendations for products that are right for you. And, in general, everything we discuss during the course, including how to clean your brushes properly. With the full course you also receive a PDF with study materials, a certificate of participation and a gift from me.
- The single session covers one makeup style, day or evening, in one day. The full course adds a second day where you apply everything start to finish yourself and I only correct, plus the second eye makeup style, the PDF, the certificate and a gift. If this is your first time doing makeup properly, the full course is the one that gives you time to practise with me there.
- Yes. The course is taught in English or Romanian, whichever you are more comfortable with. Let me know which you prefer when you book.
- Yes, a deposit of 30 to 40% of the course value, the same as for my other services. The deposit holds the day for you alone, I take nobody else in that slot, and it comes off the course price, so it is not an extra cost. If you cancel, the deposit is not returned, but we can reschedule, if there is availability and you let me know in good time, not at the last minute.
- Yes, subject to availability. During wedding season, though, availability is lower, as I am busy with bridal and event makeup. The easiest way is to message me directly, so I can confirm a free date for you.
- We do not move on to the next step until the current one works. The course is built on repetition with me next to you, precisely so that you do not go home with a result you cannot reproduce on your own. If one particular step gives you trouble, we spend more time on it and drop something else that matters less to you.
- Yes, and it is one of the most common reasons someone ends up here. Any of the options can be bought as a gift voucher, with no date fixed in advance. Whoever receives it picks their own day, whenever suits them.
