How do I know if your makeup / kit is clean?
Sanitation is our BIGGEST priority and we cannot stress this enough. We always deep clean our kits/tools prior to every event and clean our tools/makeup in between each client. Using sanitation products such as 70% alcohol, disinfecting wipes, professional grade brush cleaner, disposable applicators and sponges.
Why did you choose your brand name?
From our Founder: "Well, after spending many years in the mental health field, I too struggled with my own mental health. I knew it was time for me to find an outlet. I had always told my clients, that "beauty begins with a beautiful mindset" and with this, I have always felt the need to inspire. Makeup is my therapy...and sometimes, I can never make up my own damn mind. Plus puns are cool"
