How is Karma's Kreations Artistry® different from other makeup artists?

Karma's Kreations focuses on not only enhancing the beauty of your features, but to also provide my clients with a luxurious glam experience. You can guarantee that at the end of your session you will feel radiant, gorgeous, and elevated without feeling like you can't recognize yourself. We also dedicate ourselves on being professional and providing the utmost quality. Skin-first artistry and elevated techniques are always incorporated into our artistry. Every makeup session from booking to the end of the session will be professional, luxurious, relaxing, and fun. Our key make-up artist also takes the time to always improve her craft by continuously taking masterclasses and investing in her technique as much as possible to provide you with the BEST glam session you have EVER experienced. Feel free to view both our Portfolio of past work and our Testimonials page to see what past clients have had to say about our exceptional business!

I want to get several faces done. Does Karma's Kreations Artistry® offer package deals?

As of now we do not offer any deals for a certain number of faces being done. If a Bridal package or Media event service is requested, a certain number of faces may be covered depedning on the package chosen. To inquire and receive a quote, please visit our Contact page to submit an inquiry form HERE.

I need the artist to stay for the event and provide touch-ups. What is the pricing for that?

On-site touch-ups are included in every Media event as well as our Luxe Bride and VIP Luxe Bride packages. Touch-ups outside of these event types are not offered, however, a mini-touch-up kit is provided for all standard appointments. All makeup applications ensure that makeup will stay fresh and presentable for at least 16-20 hours. Any additional looks being adjusted from the original look will result in an additional fee.

Can I pay my total in full before the day of the event?

For Standard appointments, it is not allowed! It is preferred that you make all remaining payments immediately at the conclusion of the session to ensure an equal trade of services for payment. The only time payments can be made in advance is if the client is under a Contract and Invoice for a Bridal or Media (photo/film) Event. The final payment when under a payment plan must be made by the month (30 days) BEFORE your appointment. All prior payments must be made on a monthly or weekly basis leading up to the final due date.

Which payment methods does Karma's Kreations Artistry® accept?

Karma's Kreations accepts:

Cash
Zelle
ApplePay
Invoice (Bridal and Media Events Only)

Please keep in mind that if you choose Debit/Credit card as a payment option, there will be a transaction fee that varies in cost. Please note: Karma's Kreations no longer accepts checks or money orders and is primarily contactless. Cash can also be accepted but only if any other methods are not available. Please be prepared to use any other method besides PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, check or money order for your session payment. Square invoice option is ONLY for Bridal packages and On-Site Photo/Film events. Please take time to read further into our Payment Policy under our Terms of Service.

Do you require a retainer?

Yes, for all bookings made for events and trials there will be a required retainer that will be deducted from your total once completed. Trials are included within any Bridal Package except for the Solo and Minimalist Bride packages and does not require a retainer. Please note, your retainer essentially pays for your trial that is conducted and if you decide to cancel your bridal package, you will NOT receive a refund for the retainer. The retainers are as follows:

Makeup Appointment Retainer: $100
Media (photo/film) & Bridal Events Retainer: 25% of your total balance
Bridal Preview Session:$100

Can you use part of my retainer to pay for the Cancellation Fee?

Unfortunately, no. The cancellation fee is a fee required if the client cancels within 12 hours prior to their appointment time and will be charged to the card on file (75% of remaining balance for all appointments; 100% for trial appointments). This is a fee that is agreed upon with agreement to the Terms of Service upon booking. If you choose to not pay this fee, you will be deemed in violation of contract and will not be able to book in the future. Please be aware of these requirements PRIOR to booking your appointment. The cancellation fee however, can go towards your next appointment if you choose to book again. However, please note the retainer must be paid for again. Our Cancellation Policy can be read in more detail on our Terms of Service page.

Is the price you receive in the quote per person?

No, the price you receive is the total ultimate price for everything. Karma's Kreations does not separate pricing unless requested by the individuals being worked on. At that point, both or all persons must undergo an online booking to ensure separate prices.

Could you hold my spot in your booking calendar?

Unfortunately, no. An appointment cannot be secured unless the online booking and retainer has been completed. Bookings go by a first-come-first-serve basis and Karma's Kreations Artistry® is not liable if another client books your same day and time for an appointment.

Each person in my group would like to pay for their session separately--Do you accept split payments?

Karma's Kreations Artistry® does NOT accept split payments, half payments, late payments, and does not encourage clients to pay their total in full ahead of time. For groups that wish to have each person pay their own amount, each person is required to give their amount to the person whose name is signed on the consultation form and who made the booking. That person is then required to give the artist the full total of the amount stated at the bottom of the form. This is because Karma's Kreations Artistry® cannot track any other persons in the case they don't pay their amount. Failure to pay the full amount before the artist leaves the location can result in a fee being charged to the card on file. For all clients who have their name signed on the consultation form, please ensure that you have collected the total amount of payment from all parties involved prior to the day/time of your session.

I received another price quote from another makeup artist-- Can you price match it?

Absolutely not. The prices from other makeup artists varies based on what they deem their skillset is worth. By price matching what another makeup artist is charging, I could be undercharging myself and not obtain a reasonable profit. Please keep in mind that makeup/beauty application is a luxury service and not a good/tangible product.

Does you offer Hairstyling as well?

Yes, we currently be collaborate with three local hairstylists who have mastered their craft for over 10+ years. All hairstyling services will be provided by:

Feel free to view their work under our Hair & Makeup portfolio page or click on their names above to view their Instagrams.

Does Karma's Kreations do airbrushing?

The answer to that is YES! Karma's Kreations Artistry® does now offer airbrushing services. It is an additional $100 upgrade per person with any appointment. Some Bridal Packages may include airbrush upgrade and all Media bookings include airbrush upgrade. For a full price quote and scheduling availability please contact the artist submit an inquiry on our Contact Page HERE.

Are lashes included?

Yes! Strip or Individual Lashes are included in all appointments. Clients are still more than welcome to use their own strip lashes, however it will NOT result in a reduced or discounted price and they must be in a brand new package. Old/used lashes will not be applied whatsoever.

Can you travel to my location?

Absolutely, but with certain limitations! Karma's Kreations Artistry® will travel only up to one (1) hour to clients for all Luxe on Location appointments. Bridal or Media (Photo/Film) clients can book a package that allows the artist to travel more than an hour. Clients may also travel to the pro as well with our in-studio Studio Luxe service being based in Lanham, MD.

If I bring my own products, will I get a discount?

Unfortunately no. Bringing your own products only ensures that the client is using a product(s) that they are either comfortable with using or based on preference if you have sensitive skin, etc. Karma's Kreations Artistry is not liable for the effect of the products you bring reacting to your skin and cannot guarantee a flawless application with how your products will mix with ours. If your product does not match you or is expired, the artist will provide alternate options.

Do you clean and sanitize your brushes, sponges, and tools prior to a session?

Of course! Providing flawless results for makeup requires clean and sanitized tools. Every session Karma's Kreations conducts, you can guarantee a clean, sanitized, and flawless makeup application. All tools, brushes, and sponges are thoroughly washed using a non-fragrance makeup brush soap cleanser and rinsed. They are then sanitized with 70% Isopropyl Alcohol and are allowed to air dry in a well-ventilated and zero-traffic area. In between appointments/clients, brushes are spot cleaned and sanitized using Cinema Secrets Brush Cleaner and spritzed with isopropyl alcohol to ensure clean and safe tools for every appointment.

Do you offer Makeup Lessons?

Currently, Karma's Kreations Artistry® offers in-person lessons that must be conducted at the studio. There are currently 2 makeup lesson courses:

The Art of Self Glam (Self Application)
The Signature Artistry Intensive (Artist Application, Model Required)

Students will have the option bring their own kit or utilize my kit and products for an additional fee. Makeup Lessons are only conducted Monday-Thursday from 9 am-6pm. The student MUST come to the location of the artist. If you are taking The Signature Artistry Intensive course, you must bring your own model! You can book your appointment by visiting the Makeup Lessons Page HERE. Please note: All lessons must be paid in full at the time of booking.

Are trials available for all clients?

Trial sessions are exclusively reserved for bridal and production bookings to ensure your look is fully customized and perfected for your special day or project. For non-bridal clients who’d like to experience Karma’s Kreations Artistry® luxury artistry, I offer in-studio appointments that provide the same elevated service and attention to detail — without being a trial session.
