About this vendor
Congratulations on your engagement! I have been working as a wedding makeup artist since 2011. I specialize in clean, sophisticated makeup that showcases your natural beauty and enhances your features. I will work with you through your trial to perfect each and every detail, down to the last lash! I welcome inquiries about weddings as well as engagement shoots, bridal showers, senior portraits, and any other special occasion makeup for when you want to look and feel your absolute best.
Looking to get your skin wedding day ready? I'm also a licensed esthetician and offer a variety of skincare services including facials, dermaplaning, chemical peels, back treatments, and waxing out of my studio in Troy NY. Check out my website to read my menu and book a service: www.deriveesthetics.com
Kindly provide your wedding date, the number of people in your group needing makeup, and the address of the venue or location where you will be getting ready in the contact form. This information is necessary for all bookings, therefore inquiries missing these important details may not receive a prompt reply.
Please note the following for all bridal inquiries:
-Unfortunately I don’t provide hair services, but I’d be happy to refer you to a number of local talented stylists that I’ve worked with!
-As a solo makeup artist, I can accommodate up to six makeup applications for all bridal parties, as your timeline allows. If your group has more than six or if you have a ceremony start time before 3pm, a second artist will be required in order to complete the group in a timely manner. I regularly rely on a handful of talented artists to assist with larger groups, provided that they are available. All assisting artist’s prices and travel fees will be determined at their discretion.
-There is a four person minimum for all bridal parties. Groups of three or less are charged as a group of four.
-Travel fees for on location makeup outside of Troy NY begin at $50 and will be determined based on total round trip travel time.
-Bridal makeup booked on Sundays requires an additional fee of $25 per person

On the day of she was able to do my makeup, several bridesmaids, mother of the bride and groom all in a very reasonable time.

My trial was great, communicating with Laura was easy and insightful! Day of the wedding came and not only did she do an amazing job on myself and my bridal party, she was willing last minute to airbrush my dad's face and neck because he had some serious bruising from a previous oral surgery.
