If you’re getting ready for a photoshoot, event, or vacation, it’s easy to focus on the makeup—but the real difference always comes down to your skin.

Flawless makeup isn’t about using more product. It’s about having skin that’s properly prepped. That’s what gives you that clean, polished look that feels effortless and photographs beautifully.

When to Book Your Facial

If you want your skin to truly look its best, timing is everything.

If you’re dealing with breakouts or congestion, I recommend coming in about 2–3 weeks before your event. This gives your skin time to heal and settle so you’re not dealing with any last-minute surprises.

For most clients, the best time to book is 7–10 days before. This is when we focus on smoothing the skin, boosting hydration, and giving you that fresh glow. It’s also the perfect time to add dermaplaning, which helps remove buildup and peach fuzz so your makeup goes on more evenly and looks more seamless.

If your event is just a few days away, we’ll keep everything gentle and focused on hydration to keep your skin calm and looking fresh.

Why This Matters

Your skin is the base for your entire look.

When your skin is prepped the right way, your makeup sits better, lasts longer, and looks more natural. It’s not about covering anything up, it's about enhancing what’s already there.
