A skin prep, full face makeup application, false lash application (individual or strip) and a lip touch-up kit.

Yes, I offer airbrush foundation.

During the makeup trial we’ll determine if airbrush makeup is the right type of foundation for you.

A signed contract and deposit secure your wedding date on my calendar.

Yes, a trial is required before the wedding day. Trials allow you to get comfortable with my work style, ensure we have a blueprint for your wedding day look and allow us both to make sure we vibe as client and vendor.

I am an “unbranded” artist, so I use a variety of prestige makeup brands.

You’ll see everything from classic brands such as Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown, Laura Mercier, NARS Cosmetics, Lancome, Chanel MAC and Dior, as well as new brands such as ILIA, MILK, Makeup by Mario, danessa myricks and many more.

I can do so for an additional fee based on timing and location. Additional fee will be clearly articulated in final contract.

In the 10+ years I’ve been providing wedding makeup services, I have yet to miss a wedding. In the unlikely event of a health or family emergency, I will draw upon my wide network of colleagues to find a suitable replacement with similar aesthetic, experience, professionalism and skillset.

With over a decade of experience working in corporate, commercial and event settings, I’m extremely comfortable with any age, ethnicity or skin type. If you peruse my portfolios, you’ll see the wide range of humans with whom I’ve work.

Trials take place at my studio space in the Back Bay, Boston. Please see below for address:

207 Newbury Street, #205, Boston, MA 02116 (within Halo + Salt Salon).

Brides schedule makeup trials anywhere from a month before the wedding to a year out, it's totally up to you. If you want to ensure we can create your perfect wedding look, let's get the trial on the calendar as soon as possible.

If you plan to have a tan for your wedding day, it’s optimal to have a similar skin tone for your trial. This isn't a necessity, as many summer brides do their trails in the winter, but I do think it's helpful to get a sense of how the makeup will look on your wedding day.

I try to accommodate specific date requests but trial timing is dependent on my availability.

Trials typically take place on Saturday or Sunday. My corporate and commercial work takes place during the week.

Alexandra Makeup Artistry is located within the salon Halo + Salt, located at 207 Newbury Street, Boston, MA. 207 Newbury Street is located on the block between Exeter Street and Fairfield Street. Once you walk through the front doors of 207, head up the staircase on your left and once reaching the second floor you’ll see signs for the Area Salon Studios. Walk through the glass doors and into the Area Studio space. Follow the corridor on your left until you’ve reached the end of the hallway - you’ll see Halo + Salt straight ahead (you can’t miss it!).

• New and trending makeup products for the freshest and most contemporary makeup looks.

• Top of the line skincare, good quality false lashes, lip touch-up kit and other items that the artist may provides to clients during a makeup application.

• Time allocated to communicating with both the bride and/or event planner leading up to the day of the event.

• Creating a wedding makeup timeline, mapping out travel time, building in touch-up time and adjusting schedule as needed.

• Products to keep makeup kit items sanitized and clean. Disposable wands for sanitary applications.

Second artists have a similar skillset, style, experience level and professionalism as myself.

A second artist is required when more than nine faces are getting makeup or if there is a very compressed timeframe before the ceremony.

Since the second artist is comparable to my level of experience and skill, their daily rate and travel expenses are equivalent to mine. It's the most effective means to secure a high caliber artist.

The second artist fee covers the communication and coordination between the other artist and me. The fee also covers the lip kits and other products I supply for the second artist to use for their clients.
