FAQ
What’s included in The Express Makeup service?
This is your 30-minute glow-up - a quicker touch-up service where we focus on a flawless base, a little eye definition, and a fresh lip. Perfect for when you want to feel more pulled-together without going full glam.
Is this service suitable for special occasions?
If it’s a major event or you want long-wear, high-impact makeup (hello, photography and dance floors), we recommend booking our Makeup Application instead. The Express is best for daytime events, post-facial polish, or just when you want a little boost.
Can I choose the makeup style?
Yes - we’ll talk through the look you’re after and let you know what’s achievable within the 30-minute timeframe. We usually focus on radiant skin and soft definition, but can tailor it to your preferences.
Is the makeup long-lasting?
Yes - all of our products are high-quality, makeup artist-created, and built to last the day. That said, this isn’t a full red-carpet face, so if you need bulletproof wear, opt for the full application.
Are the products suitable for sensitive skin?
We use skin-friendly, makeup artist-created brands with gentle formulations - but everyone’s skin is different. If you have concerns, feel free to pop in for a patch test ahead of time.
Can I combine this service with other treatments?
Absolutely. The Express Makeup is a great follow-up after a facial or pairs beautifully with a brow or lash service. You'll need to book the appointments separately in our system - if you’re unsure about timing, give us a call on +6442101619 or email hello@iris-beauty.co.nz and we’ll help you sort it.
