Andrea Collier Makeup

Andrea Collier Makeup is based in Austin and offers makeup and eyebrow services under one roof. The core offerings are bridal makeup, special event makeup, brow services and private makeup lessons. Bridal work can be done at the client's location throughout Austin and Central Texas, and destination weddings are also available.

Clients can book through the contact page on the website or with a Gloss Genius booking link. Appointments are not held in advance: slots go to whoever commits first, and a signed contract plus a 50% deposit locks one in. That deposit cannot be refunded or passed to someone else. The balance is settled at the appointment or before any off-site travel, unless both sides agree otherwise in writing. Venmo, credit cards and debit cards are accepted. The final invoice may include charges for travel, parking, valet, tolls, early-morning service (before 8:00 AM) and holidays. Bridal travel fees vary with party size, venue location and appointment time. The studio is open Tuesday through Saturday.

Brow services start with a close look at each client's natural shape, growth direction and facial structure. Eyebrow mapping is used to find a shape that suits the client's eyes and face. Waxing gives clean, defined brow lines, while tweezing is used for sensitive skin or when a client is using a prescription topical from a dermatologist. Brow lamination sets the hairs into a fuller, lifted shape that holds for weeks, and tinting is available in a traditional soft finish or as a Hybrid Stain for richer, longer-lasting color. Brow maintenance covers shaping, trimming and tinting between visits, and is usually recommended every 4 to 6 weeks depending on growth.

Makeup work uses long-wear products with primer and setting spray. Bridal makeup application takes about 60 to 75 minutes, and full face application takes about 45 to 60 minutes. Bridal trials and skin preparation are arranged through a consultation. Special event makeup is offered in the studio or at the client's event and includes skin prep, a customized foundation, blended eye makeup, optional false lashes and lip color.

Private one-on-one lessons usually last about 2 hours and cover application, techniques for face shape and skin type, product recommendations, blending and contouring, and both natural and full-glam looks. Clients may bring their own makeup, but professional products and tools are provided. Select group sessions and workshops are offered for corporate events, sororities and private groups, with limited availability and pricing by inquiry. For clients with known allergies or sensitive skin, a patch test can be arranged 24 to 48 hours ahead at no extra cost.

Services are built around each client's features and skin goals, and bridal clients receive a customized skincare regimen along with consistent product application.
