About

The business works on-location rather than from a fixed salon, applying makeup and styling hair at a client's home, office, photo studio or hotel. It is based in Vernon Hills and lists a Chicago address. Clients in Chicago, the North Shore, the Northwest suburbs and Lake Geneva are served, and wedding work within that core area carries no travel fees; longer distances are handled by inquiry.

The everyday menu centers on two makeup applications. Get Glowing uses a custom-blended HD film foundation and is described as maintenance-free. Get Gorgeous is built for events, headshots, video-recorded occasions, awards dinners and dates, and the business says it stays camera-ready for 10 to 12 hours. Lessons are hands-on tutorials at the client's location covering everyday makeup, office-to-evening looks, anti-aging techniques and age-appropriate teen looks. Students receive written step-by-step instructions and a product list by email within two to three days. Video lessons include a full recording, subtitles for each section and a personal shopping list, with edited versions delivered within five to seven days. For groups of four or more, one person serves as the model and group lessons are quoted individually.

Wedding work covers the bride's day look, guests, added stylists and full-service bridal parties, with makeup and hair both available on-location. Booking starts with an email giving the wedding date, location and number of people, and the business typically replies within 24 hours. A signed contract and a 50% deposit secure the date, and contracts are signed through a password-protected online portal. Trials are optional: clients can book first and schedule a trial later, and feedback after a trial is used to adjust the look before the wedding day. Wedding makeup is described as HD-ready, cry-proof and sweatproof, designed to look fresh for 12 hours or more, and lashes are included in every application, with individual lashes for the bride and mother and natural strip lashes for others. Clients may use the business's hair stylists or their own, and on-location makeup and hair each have a minimum of four people, with some exceptions for makeup during peak wedding season.

Hygiene is a stated focus. The business uses EPA-registered hospital-grade disinfectants at every job location, dispenses products onto stainless steel palettes so each client uses their own portion once, cleans palettes with isopropyl alcohol between clients, and uses a medical-grade antiviral brush cleaner between every client. It says it has used that cleaner for 20 years and describes it as killing 99.99% of viruses and bacteria. The business also describes itself as a preferred wedding vendor at several Michigan Avenue and Gold Coast hotels and as a preferred vendor of Kleinfeld NYC, says its work has been featured in Modern Luxury Weddings, Brides Magazine, Martha Stewart Weddings, Refinery 29 and other publications, and says all of its team members have 15-plus years of wedding makeup and hair experience. Its TV and video portfolio is described as including work for CNN, ESPN, Microsoft, Nike and Gatorade.

Works on-location with hygiene built into each job, using single-use product portions, sanitized palettes and hospital-grade disinfectants.
