FAQ
What’s included in the Makeup Application service?
We start with a clean canvas - cleansing and prepping your skin with skincare to suit - then build a full makeup look tailored to your preferences. Whether you want fresh and natural or bold and polished, we’ve got you covered. If you’d like false lashes, be sure to book the Makeup Application with False Lashes.
Is the makeup tailored to my preferences and event?
Yes - we always consult with you before we start. If you’ve got inspiration photos or a particular vibe you’re going for, bring them along. Whether it’s for a party, photoshoot, or just feeling fabulous, we’ll craft a look that fits both the occasion and you.
Are the products suitable for all skin types?
Yes - we stock a wide range of textures, pigments, and finishes so we can choose products that complement your skin and deliver the best possible result, whether you’re dry, oily, textured, or somewhere in between.
Is the makeup long-lasting and photo-ready?
Yes - we’re here to make sure you look and feel great all day (and night). Your makeup will be camera-ready, event-proof, and flattering in all kinds of lighting.
Can I combine the Makeup Application with other treatments?
Definitely. The Makeup Application pairs beautifully with a brow tint or shape beforehand, or a facial the day before (or earlier on the same day, if timing allows). If you need help with scheduling, just call us on +6442101619 or email hello@iris-beauty.co.nz — we’re happy to coordinate the details.
Is the Makeup Application service suitable for bridal makeup?
Not quite - while our standard Makeup Application is perfect for events, special occasions, and photoshoots, we allow extra time and care for brides. Wedding day makeup is a little different: there’s more to consider (lighting, longevity, nerves, touch-ups, hugs!), so we book bridal makeup as a separate, longer appointment to give it the attention it deserves. If you're getting married, get in touch and we’ll talk through the best options for your day.
