FAQ

Questions, answered

The things people most often ask before booking — pricing, travel, trials and timing. Still not sure? Just ask me.

Booking

How do I book Chelsea?
Send an enquiry through the contact page with your date, location and what you're after — bridal, event, formal or editorial. I read every enquiry personally and reply with availability and a quote.
How far in advance should I book?
As early as you can. I take one wedding a day, and popular wedding dates and school-ball season book out months ahead. Once you have a date and venue, it's worth enquiring to check availability.
Do you take a deposit?
Yes — a booking deposit secures your date, with the balance due before or on the day. The exact details are confirmed when you book.

Pricing

How much does makeup cost?
Every service starts from $150 per face — bridal, bridesmaid and bridal-party (per person), special-occasion, formal and school-ball, mature-skin and editorial. Bridal includes a trial. A travel fee may apply depending on your location.
Is a bridal trial included?
A trial is offered as part of planning your wedding look and is strongly recommended — it's the best way to settle on your look and make the morning stress-free. Trial details are confirmed with your bridal booking.
Do you charge a travel fee?
As a fully mobile artist I travel to you, so a travel fee may apply depending on where you are. It's quoted upfront with your enquiry — the Perth metro is usually included or minimal, with destination regions like Margaret River quoted individually.

Travel

Do you travel to me?
Yes — I'm fully mobile and come to your home, hotel or venue. There's no studio to visit on the morning; I bring everything to you.
What areas do you cover?
I cover the Perth metro — from Fremantle and the western suburbs to the city, the coast and the northern and southern suburbs — plus the Swan Valley and Margaret River wedding regions. See the areas page for the full list.
Do you do destination weddings?
Yes. I travel down to the South West for Margaret River and regional weddings, usually arriving the day before so I'm rested and on-site early. Travel and any accommodation are quoted with your enquiry.

Bridal & weddings

Can you do my whole bridal party?
Yes — one artist, one calm morning timeline. I do the bride plus bridesmaids, mothers and the wider party, each suited individually, and run the morning to a schedule so everyone is ready before photos.
Will my makeup last all day?
Yes. I prep the skin and use professional, sweat- and humidity-resistant products built for long, warm Perth days, plus a simple touch-up plan — so your look holds from first look to last dance.

General

Do you do hair as well as makeup?
No — I offer makeup only. Keeping my focus on makeup is how I keep the standard high, and I'm always happy to recommend a trusted hair stylist to work alongside me.
What products do you use?
A professional kit of luxury, long-wear products. With over a decade behind the chair and a background working with houses like Lancôme, YSL, Giorgio Armani and Mecca, I match the products to your skin, the occasion and the lighting on the day.
Do you work with all skin types and tones?
Yes — every skin type and tone. I read your skin and tailor prep, coverage and colour to suit you, including mature skin, sensitive skin and breakout-prone skin.
