Frequently Asked Questions
For the best results, arrive with a clean, makeup-free face and follow your usual skincare routine the night before.
Avoid any harsh exfoliation or new skincare products that could cause irritation before your competition or photoshoot.
If you’re getting a competition tan, schedule your tan first so your makeup can be perfectly matched. I’ll take care of the rest, making sure your look is stage- and camera-ready.
Absolutely!
Competition tans are much deeper than everyday skin tones, so makeup needs to be adjusted accordingly.
I use specialized techniques and high-pigment products to create a seamless, balanced look that complements your tan without looking too light or overly dark.
Whether you prefer a bold glam or a more refined style, your makeup will be customized to enhance your features and stand out under stage or studio lighting.
For Ottawa fitness competitions and portfolio shoots, I recommend booking at least 4–6 weeks in advance, especially during peak competition seasons.
This will help make sure you're able to secure your preferred date and time.
If you’re traveling to Ottawa for a shoot or competition, I can also help coordinate scheduling to fit your plans.
Each style offers a different level of glamour and intensity:
Fitness competition makeup is specifically designed to stand out under intense stage and studio lighting.
Everyday makeup is more subtle and can appear washed out under bright lights and high-definition cameras.
I use high-pigment, professional products that helps add definition, balance deep competition tans, and create a bold, sculpted look.
Whether you’re on stage or in front of the camera, this style of makeup will make sure your best features are highlighted and photograph perfectly from every angle.
Yes!
While I offer both competition day makeup and fitness portfolio makeup, I specialize in portfolio makeup services, working closely with a network of top fitness photographers in Ottawa to create stunning, high-impact looks for professional shoots.
Due to limited backstage access at competitions, all makeup applications are done in-studio, which can sometimes be harder to accommodate depending on event timing.
If you’re competing and need makeup for show day, I recommend booking early to secure a spot that fits your schedule.
I completely understand that plans can change!
If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let me know as soon as possible. To secure your date and time, I require a 50% non-refundable deposit at the time of booking.
If you cancel before your final payment is due, there’s no additional charge.
Final payments for lifestyle and special event bookings are due 48 hours before your appointment.
If you need to cancel after the final payment has been made and you choose to reschedule, your final payment will be applied to your new appointment. However, a new booking deposit will be required to secure the new date.
This policy helps ensure I can accommodate as many clients as possible while respecting everyone’s time.
I’m here to make everything as smooth as possible, so please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!
I provide a selection of high-quality false lashes as part of your application, making sure they complement your eye shape and overall look.
If you have a specific style you love, feel free to bring your own, but they must be new and in their original packaging to follow health and safety policies.
For fitness competitions and portfolio shoots, lashes help enhance definition and make your eyes stand out under bright lights.
Yes!
I work with all skin tones and skin types, making sure your makeup is fully customized to your complexion.
Whether you have oily, dry, sensitive, or combination skin, I use professional products that provide a flawless application while keeping your skin comfortable.
My kit is stocked with a wide range of shades and undertones, so every competitor gets a look that enhances their natural beauty while working seamlessly with stage or studio lighting.
I offer both in-studio and on-site services, depending on your needs.
However, due to limited backstage access at competitions, competition day makeup is typically done in-studio unless otherwise specified by the event.
This helps with making sure your makeup is done in a controlled environment with professional lighting for the best possible results.
If you’re traveling to Ottawa for a fitness photoshoot, I can coordinate timing with your photographer to keep your schedule running smoothly.
Portfolio makeup sessions are 90 minutes, allowing time for detailed, camera-ready artistry.
Competition day makeup is a 60-minute session, designed for a bold, defined look that stands out on stage.
For in-studio appointments, you just need to arrive on time for your scheduled session.
If I’m traveling to your location, I’ll aim to arrive 15 minutes early to set up, which will help everyone stay on schedule and get the most out of your appointment.
