Where are you based and do you travel?
​
We cover mostly the Algarve area in Portugal but we'll travel anywhere if our bookings allow time. If you would like to know more, contact us and we'll send a personalized quote.
​

​
​
Should I book a trial?
​
We recommend you book a trial, this way you're more at ease with your look for the day or you are sure about what you want. However, if you are comfortable with not having a trial, we are too. We'll just need to discuss your vision before and allocated some extra minutes for your makeup slot on your wedding day.
​
​​
​
​
How in advance should I do my trial?
​
There isn't a specific amount of time in advance for a trial to be made. It's completely up to you and your availability. Some brides have their trial done one year before the wedding, some have it done during the wedding week.
​
​
Where does the trial take place?
​
We are happy to your hotel or villa to do your trial but if you wish you can also travel to our ENESSE - Studio & School.
​
​
​​
​
How should I prepare for my trial?
​
Please allow 2.5 hours for our trial appointment, prepare some inspiration photos of looks you liked, photos of your dress and the venue. I will also ask some questions but feel free to tell me how you would like to feel on your wedding day.
If possible, have your hair trial booked for the same day so you can see the full look.
​
​​
​
How long does it take to do my makeup on my wedding day?
​
We always create a timeline before the wedding day so that everyone knows their allocated time. On the day we will arrive around 15 minutes earlier to set up and start on the scheduled time. On average, it takes 1 hours and 30 minutes for the bride. The bridal party services take around 45 minutes per person per service.
We also recommend finishing all beauty services one hour and a half before you need to leave for the ceremony or first look. This will allow you to have some time to get dressed and photographed, and be relax before the ceremony.
​
​​
​
Does the team have a similar style to Nicole?
​
Yes! All artists have a similar working style, we pride ourselves in creating looks that leave our clients feeling like an effortless glam version of themselves.
​
​​
​
How many people can you accommodate for my wedding day?
​
As many as needed, just make sure to book in advance. We can't guarantee requests on the day.
​
​​
​
What products do you use?
​
We like to work a diversified range of high quality products and brands, such as Guerlain, Chanel, Charlotte Tilbury, Estée Lauder, Natasha Denona, Elizabeth Arden, Dior Beauty, YSL, Kryolan, Embryolisse, Beauty of Joseon and Khiels.
​
​​
​
Do you work with every skin colour?
​
Yes, we believe that as a makeup artist you have to be able to accommodate everyone, it is of extreme importance to us. We have knowledge and shades in our kit that fit every skin.
​
​​
​
Are false lashes included in your service?
​​
Yes! Either individual or strip lashes are included but if you wish for a specific style you should bring your own or ask if we carry those.
