MOYAMAKEUP Facts & Questions

What brands of makeup does moyaMAKEUP use?

The collection consists of MAC, Makeup Forever, L'Oreal, NARS, Urban Decay, and NYX.

Does moyaMAKEUP use airbrushed foundation?

Nikolina does not use an airbrush tool. She has been trained in using various foundations and setting sprays that give the look and feel of that light airbrush finish, with that same long lasting effect. There are many professional products and makeup techniques that are used to achieve this look. Keep in mind, airbrushed makeup can get very costly, when the alternative can be more affordable and look just as good, if not better!

What if I have any makeup allergies?

moyaMAKEUP uses the best products possible and will not be held liable in the event of skin irritations, breakouts or allergic reactions. All brushes and makeup products are kept sanitary and will be cleaned with professional makeup cleaning products before each client's makeup application. Any skin conditions, such as allergies or other skin problems must be reported to Nikolina prior to makeup application. All clients must agree to release moyaMAKEUP from liability for any skin complications due to any reactions.

Will you come to me for makeup services?

Yes, Nikolina will travel throughout the Chicagoland area to do makeup for various events.

What form of payment do you take?

moyaMAKEUP accepts personal checks and cash for deposits and final payments.

Nikolina, what gives you inspiration when working on makeup?

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. You will walk away with a face chart with the colors and products used and some photos of your final look. It is helpful for you to bring pictures of inspiration makeup looks and even makeup looks that you dislike, to help Nikolina better understand the look you might be after.

Do you apply false lashes?

Nikolina loves the look of false lashes & would tell anyone looking to have their makeup professionally done, to at least give them a try! For an additional charge, Nikolina can do individual lashes or strip lashes, both great looks! They can really give your eyes and face an added "WOW" factor!

What are some do's and don'ts with having my makeup professionally done?

  • moisturize with an SPF-free facial moisturizer before makeup application
  • blot with tissue sheets to keep oil under control throughout the day/night
  • up your water intake the day before and day of a big event to help with skin dryness and puffy eyes
  • make sure to have a facial at least 2 weeks before your event to give your skin time to clear up if any breakouts occur
  • do not drink alcohol before having your pictures taken; alcohol can bring out redness in your eyes and skin
  • drink out of a straw throughout the day to help keep your lipstick and lip liner in place
  • avoid any facial waxing at least 1 week before your event
  • have your eyebrows professionally shaped beforehand and tweeze any random hairs that are most noticeable the few days leading up to your event

What is your booking policy?

moyaMAKEUP requires a non-refundable deposit of 50% to hold your date. The deposit is applied toward your final balance. By signing the moyaMAKEUP Makeup Contract, you are locking in the prices that you are quoted, even if the rates have increased. For Nikolina to arrive on location before 7:00am or earlier, there is a $50 additional fee added to your final balance.

What do I need to have available to moyaMAKEUP for my makeup service?

On the day of your event, Nikolina will come prepared with a makeup chair and all the makeup products needed to complete your look. It is best that you have an open table area available near lots of natural light and/or bright lights where Nikolina can set up. Please note, she has many lipstick choices that she can use to complete your look, but you may want to be prepared with your own favorite lipstick and lip liner so you have it to touch up throughout the day/night. Please inform Nikolina ahead of time if you want her to purchase the lipstick and lip liner for you to keep.
