You are booking me to provide makeup application services for your project on the date, times, and location in your accepted proposal (or in our most recent written booking confirmation if there is no proposal). These terms are how I hold your date, plan the timing, and deliver a look that holds up in real life and on camera.
What you get
I’ll provide makeup application services for the project you’ve booked, covering the people, looks, and time window listed in your accepted proposal, including travel and call time where applicable. On the day, I work to the schedule we confirm so you stay on time and camera ready, and the services include the items listed below.
This booking can include: Arrival and setup. Skin prep and tone match. Makeup application. Timing management. Touch-up kit handoff. Set touch-ups (if booked).

Holding your date
Your date is only reserved once I have both: (1) a signed agreement, and (2) the 25% retainer. Until both are in, the date stays open and I may accept another booking that comes in for the same time.
The retainer is what holds the date against other work. If you cancel, whether any of the retainer comes back depends on how close the cancellation is to the event date, and I’ll confirm the exact cancellation schedule for your date in writing.
Payment
You’ll pay 25% of the total price as a retainer when you sign, and that is what reserves the date. The remaining 75% is due before the event, based on the final numbers, by the date I set for your booking. I’ll tell you that balance due date in writing so you can plan around it.
I invoice as the booking progresses (for example, retainer, then remaining balance, and any agreed add-ons). Each invoice is payable within 14 days of its date.
Final numbers
Before the event, I’ll ask you to confirm the final numbers I’m scheduled to work on, plus the timing notes I need to keep the morning or call time running smoothly. This includes who is in the chair, what time each person needs to be ready, and any access notes that affect setup (parking, stairs, room number, elevator codes, call sheet details).
I’ll set a final-numbers deadline for your date. After that deadline, the balance is charged on the confirmed final numbers even if fewer people attend. Added people after that point are only possible if I still have time and availability.
Changes
If you want to change the start time, location, number of people, or the look after you sign, message me in writing with what you want to change. I’ll tell you what’s possible with the time we have, and I’ll update the price and the schedule before I do the work.
Some changes are easy to make early and hard to make close to the date. I may need to say no if the new plan would make the schedule unrealistic, cut into another booking, or leave too little time to do the work safely and to the standard you’re expecting.
Other suppliers
If you bring in other suppliers for the day, like hair, photography, video, planners, or a venue coordinator, you book and pay them directly unless we agree otherwise in writing. Their timelines, delays, and cancellations are between you and them.
I’m happy to coordinate on timing so the day runs smoothly. If there’s a call sheet or a getting-ready schedule, send it as early as you can. On set, I’ll work around the photographer or director’s flow, but I still need a workable touch-up window between takes to keep continuity.
Extra time and travel
Your booking covers the time window and location we’ve agreed. If the day runs longer than booked, or if the location changes, I can usually stay only if I’m available and the setup still works.
Extra time is charged at my overtime rate, and added travel is charged at my travel rate. I’ll confirm those rates for your date in writing. Where possible, I’ll flag the overage before we run past the booked end time so you can choose whether to extend. Any paid parking or access fees are added at cost.
Moving the date
If you need to move the date, tell me as soon as you know. If I’m available on the new date, I’ll move the booking and apply what you’ve already paid to the new date, including the retainer, and I’ll update the schedule and any travel line items if the call time or location changes.
If I’m not available for the new date, it’s treated as a cancellation and the cancellation terms apply. If something outside anyone’s control stops the event from going ahead (for example, venue closure or travel disruption), I’ll work with you in good faith on a practical next step, based on my availability and what work has already been done.
What I’m responsible for
I’m responsible for showing up on time for the confirmed call time and providing makeup application services with clean, sanitary tools and safe working practices. Please tell me about allergies, sensitivities, recent treatments, sunburn, or anything that affects your skin as early as you can, so I can adjust products and methods.
I can’t promise a specific result if time is cut short by late starts, missing access, or on-the-day changes that reduce the makeup window. I’m also not responsible for issues caused by products or tools not supplied by me, or by skin reactions where I wasn’t told the relevant information in advance.
If you cancel the booking, tell me in writing so there’s no confusion about dates and timing. Because I hold your date and turn away other work once you’re booked in, the amount I keep depends on how close the cancellation is to the event date.
I use a stepped schedule that increases as we get closer to the date. I set the exact steps and amounts for your booking and I’ll spell them out for your date in writing. If you cancel, I’ll confirm what is kept, what is still owed (if anything), and what happens with any work already completed, like trial notes and timing planning.
