Frequently Asked Questions
What makeup products do you use?

MAC, Kryolan, Bobbi Brown, Lancome, Lauder, Chanel, Gorgeous Cosmetics, Inglot, Nars, RDL to name a few. Each artist has their own makeup preferences and has a variety of the best available makeup on the market.
Are we mobile?
In most cases, Magical Makeovers ARE MOBILE TO YOU FOR YOUR TRIALS AND ON YOUR WEDDING DAY. Our mobile service is efficient and time effective with NO LOCATION FEES within the Metropolitan Melbourne area. However with high petrol costs and tolls there may be a small fee to cover some travel to longer distances. Parking will need to be provided for our artists if you are getting ready in a hotel or in the CBD. Some of our artists have a salon or studio at their home, so you may like to visit them to have your trial. The choice is yours. Most photographers prefer a mobile hair and make up service to your home or hotel, as this eliminates the problem of you arriving home late from a salon. You simply sit back, relax, and enjoy being pampered, without rushing to appointments in another suburb. Mobile is the ONLY way to go on your wedding day!
What is a trial/practice run and do you offer them?
Most brides prefer to have a trial or practice run with hair and make up prior to their wedding day. It is not essential, but to make sure that you will be happy on the wedding day, a trial is advisable. Trials for bridesmaids are optional but we do offer them a FREE CONSULTATION at the brides trial when we go through colours, styles, taking notes on their requirements. If a bridesmaid requests a trial, we are happy to oblige! Our artists will help you make informed decisions on the styles you want. They will LISTEN to your requests and will offer lots of helpful advice and ideas when asked. However, the final decision on the style is yours. They are there to give you the guidance you need without insisting that you have the style they choose for you. They will write up a schedule of appointment times and costs for each person at your trial. The person who does your trial will also be doing your hair and / or make up on your wedding day. A deposit paid at your trial, will secure your booking with her for the day.
What type of set up does the makeup artist and hairdresser require?
Preferably a room with natural lighting (or bright lighting) and a table for the Makeup Arist. The Artist will have her own make-up chair. The hairdresser also requires an area with natural lighting with access to power.
