I have been working with brides for the past 10 years & absolutely love it.

I pride myself on my signature makeup techniques, consistency and my quality of work. Please look through my portfolio of work on Instagram @stefanieweinapplemakeup and website to ensure I am the right artist for you. You can also see what my past bride’s are saying here.

I recommend booking your artist 12 months before your wedding day. I book up to a year in advance and Saturday wedding dates go fast!

Trials are done 3-4 months out from the wedding date. This way the look we do is still fresh in both our minds by the wedding date.

Unfortunately I’m unable to accommodate that as I have to prioritize my availability for booked brides. However, I understand your concerns which is why I’m inviting you to review my Instagram and reviews so you can be sure the quality of work and style is in line with what you are looking for. ​ Bridal trials are only available for clients who have booked and placed a retainer for wedding day services.

Trials are held at my studio in Benicia, CA. Due to space restrictions, I ask that only the bride is to attend the appointment. Please allow 2 hours per trial.

Yes, the re-trial would be charged as a separate trial with the same conditions and fees. This is why I highly suggest researching your desired look(s) before the trial so that we can maximize our time together.

Space is limited in my studio and any guests will have to wait in the front lobby during your trial. Thank you for understanding!

Wedding reservations must include makeup for the bride. I do not accept wedding party only bookings.

I can take up to 6 people on my own. Parties of 7 ore more will require a secondary artist (additional fee) & must be secured at the time of signing.

The total cost of the booking is paid over 2 payments. First is the (50% of the total amount due) non-refundable/non-transferable booking fee to secure your wedding day. The second and final payment is due 7 days before your wedding day. All payments are made online.

My pricing is firm and I do not offer any discounts at this time.

As I only book one wedding per day, I am more than happy to be flexible and accommodating. I will work in with you to ensure your morning runs exactly the way you envisioned. Please note if the start time is prior to 7am, an early morning fee will apply.

No, I do NOT offer air-brush makeup and apply makeup traditionally with brushes.

No I do NOT offer hair-styling.

Weekends dates are reserved for wedding bookings only. Due to limited weekend availability I won’t be able to accommodate any weekend trials.

Some of the makeup brands I carry in my kit are: Armani, Dior, Hourglass, Tom Ford, Givency, Makeup By Mario, Patrick Ta, MAC, Makeup Forever, Estee Lauder, Charlotte Tilbury, Laura Mercier, & Tarte.

My favorite foundation at the moment for my Brides is Armani Luminous Silk. It’s medium coverage but buildable with a luminous natural finish. Read More Here.

Yes, I will need to know the exact number of services needed for your wedding day at booking to ensure I’m able to accommodate everyone. Once contracted I do not allow any adjustments to the total of services and it’s best to reach out to your group prior to inquiring for a final head count.

I use high end long wearing products on all my clients but please be prepared to need some touching up during your event.

If you’re concerned about weather or tears think about contracting me to stay longer for bridal touch ups. I will be by your side to make sure you stay picture perfect through your ceremony or until your reception.

Trials are taken at my studio only and I do not travel for any single services.

The assistant fee is primarily intended to cover additional time and administrative tasks required to contract, manage and coordinate with a second makeup artist. I also have to cover any additional travel fees the artist requires to work on-location for your event. This fee is an industry standard that you will see most established makeup artist charge.

You’re also welcome to hire on your own second artist if you prefer too!
