Every person has certain facial features that bring out their natural beauty - I like to work with these features to enhance them and then bring everything else together to give the client the look they were hoping for. I know that working with the client's personality is very important because everyone can have very different likes and dislikes when it comes to their final makeup look.What is included with the Consultation?
A consultation is perfect for seeing if moyaMAKEUP is right for your event, for the destination wedding bride looking to do her own makeup, or for someone needing help with a fresh new makeup look. This includes a step-by-step makeup application with the colors and products that work best for you.
