Frequently Asked Questions

For any special occasion, you want to look your very best. Equally importantly, you want every photo from that occasion to show you looking confident, radiant, and beautiful. Professional makeup artists, like Crystal Anne, have extensive training and expertise in makeup applications that not only make you feel beautiful, but will look amazing in person and photographs. Often, women opt to do their own makeup and later discover that they had the "ghost face"- when your face appears to be lighter than the rest of your skin- or that the coverage, contouring, and sheen was inadequate in photos. Also, hiring a makeup artist eliminates the stress of worrying about how you're going to look- relax and let the professional perfect your look for you!

What is different about the products used by Crystal Anne? All of the products used at Crystal Anne Studio have been carefully tested and selected for being the highest quality and longest lasting products available. Unlike department store "makeup artists", Crystal Anne has scoured hundreds of reputable cosmetic brands and personally selected the best products from each. Eyeshadows and blushes from Lancome, MAC, Urban Decay; lipcolors from Ben Nye, Stila, NARS; airbrush foundation from Temptu; and powders from Amazing Cosmetics, ID, and ShuUmera are her favorites and are tried and true to be the best of the best!

Will I break out from professional makeup? Absolutely not! All skin products used by Crystal Anne are hypoallergenic, noncodermogenic, and fragrance free. However, if you have any skin allergies it is important to let your makeup artist know.

Will it look like I have a lot of makeup on? No. In fact, you will not necessarily have more makeup on that normal. but just better placement, colors, and products! Plus, professional airbrush makeup is ultra fine, lightweight, and crease resistant- so it never looks thick, cakey, or heavy!

How do reserve an appointment for a certain date? To reserve your appointment, contact Crystal Anne to discuss the details of your needs. A 50% deposit is required to save your appointment time and date.

Will the makeup artist come to me? Absolutely! Whether you would like to be made over at home, in a hotel, or any location nationwide- Crystal Anne is available for on-location services and travel. If you are outside of Houston, see travel details here.

Will the makeup last all day? Yes, of course! Airbrush makeup is silicone based, and is therefore water resistant and long lasting. All cosmetics are of the highest quality and have little to no fillers, so the pigments are strong and pure.
