Question 1

HD vs Airbrush—what should I choose?

Accepted Answer

HD makeup uses high-definition products applied with traditional techniques (brushes/sponges). It gives a natural, skin-like finish and is great for most brides. Airbrush makeup is sprayed on using an airbrush gun, creating an ultra-smooth, flawless finish that photographs exceptionally well and lasts longer. We recommend airbrush for oily skin, long events (12+ hours), or if you want an extremely smooth, poreless look in close-up photos. During your trial, we can help you decide what works best for your skin type and preferences.

Question 2

Do you travel to venues?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We provide on-site bridal makeup services across Ahmedabad and nearby areas. We bring professional lighting, mirrors, and all necessary equipment. Travel charges apply based on distance: within 10km is free, 10-20km is ₹1,000, 20-30km is ₹2,000, and beyond 30km we provide a custom quote. On-site service is perfect for stress-free morning preparations at your home or wedding venue.

Question 3

How early should I book?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking 2-3 months in advance, especially during peak wedding season (October to March). This ensures you get your preferred date and allows enough time for a trial session. However, we do our best to accommodate last-minute bookings based on availability. If your wedding is less than a month away, contact us immediately via WhatsApp and we'll check our schedule.

Question 4

What is included in a trial?

Accepted Answer

A trial makeup session includes full face makeup application with your chosen look (HD or airbrush), product testing on your skin, discussion of your preferences and outfit, photography to see how it looks in camera, and a consultation about the wedding day timeline. The trial typically takes 90-120 minutes. It's complimentary with all bridal packages. This is your chance to perfect the look and make any adjustments before your big day.

Question 5

What if I have sensitive skin or allergies?

Accepted Answer

We carry hypoallergenic and sensitive-skin-friendly products from brands like MAC, Estée Lauder, and Bobbi Brown. Please inform us about any allergies or skin sensitivities during booking. We'll do a patch test during your trial and use appropriate products for your skin. If you have specific product preferences or restrictions, let us know in advance.

Question 6

How long does bridal makeup take?

Accepted Answer

Full bridal makeup (face + hair) takes approximately 2-2.5 hours. Makeup alone takes 90-120 minutes, and hairstyling adds 45-60 minutes. We recommend starting early enough to have buffer time. For a morning wedding, plan for makeup to begin 3-4 hours before the ceremony. We'll provide a detailed timeline after booking.

Question 7

Will my makeup last all day?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We use long-wear, waterproof products and professional setting techniques to ensure your makeup lasts 10-14 hours (depending on the package). We also provide a touch-up kit with essentials like blotting papers, lipstick, and powder so you can refresh throughout the day. Our makeup is designed to withstand heat, humidity, tears, and hours of celebration.

Question 8

Can I see examples of your work?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Check out our Portfolio page to see before/after transformations and real bride photos. We also regularly post on Instagram @makeoverby_harmony with behind-the-scenes, Reels, and client stories. During your trial consultation, we can show you specific looks similar to what you're envisioning.

Question 9

What should I bring to my trial?

Accepted Answer

Bring pictures of makeup looks you like, your wedding outfit (or a similar color), any jewelry or accessories you plan to wear, and hair inspiration photos if you're booking hairstyling. Come with a clean, moisturized face and your hair washed (for hairstyling trials). If you have favorite products or specific items you want to use, bring those too.

Question 10

Do you do makeup for bridesmaids and family?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer party makeup packages for bridesmaids, mother of the bride/groom, and family members. Pricing starts at ₹3,500 per person for basic party makeup. For groups of 5+, we offer a 15% discount. We can coordinate multiple artists to ensure everyone is ready on time.

Question 11

What is your cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

Cancellations made 30+ days before the event receive a full refund. Cancellations 15-30 days before receive a 50% refund. Cancellations less than 15 days before the event are non-refundable. However, we do allow one free reschedule if you need to change your wedding date. We understand plans change, so please communicate with us as early as possible.

Question 12

What products do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use premium, professional-grade products from brands like MAC, Huda Beauty, Estée Lauder, NARS, Urban Decay, Bobbi Brown, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and Charlotte Tilbury. All products are within expiry dates, and we use fresh, sanitized tools for each client. We also stock hypoallergenic and vegan options for clients with specific needs.

Question 13

How do I prepare my skin before the wedding?

Accepted Answer

Start a skincare routine 30 days before: cleanse, moisturize, and use sunscreen daily. Stay hydrated, get enough sleep, and avoid trying new products 2 weeks before the wedding. Get a facial 1 week prior (not sooner). On the wedding day, come with clean, moisturized skin—no heavy creams or oils. Exfoliate gently 2-3 days before. We also provide a detailed bridal skin prep guide after booking.

Question 14

Can I request a specific makeup style?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Whether you want natural/minimal, soft glam, traditional Indian bridal, or bold glamorous makeup, we customize every look to your preferences. Bring inspiration photos to your trial, and we'll work together to create a style that suits your face, outfit, and personality. We're skilled in all techniques and styles.

Question 15

Do you provide hair accessories?

Accepted Answer

Our Gold and Premium bridal packages include basic hair accessories like pins, flowers, and small decorative pieces. If you have specific jewelry or accessories (maang tikka, hair chains, fresh flowers), please bring them, and we'll style them into your hair. For elaborate floral arrangements, we can coordinate with a florist (additional charges apply).
