Makeup appointments don’t end when the makeup is done.

The real professionalism starts after ✨

Every client deserves not only a beautiful result, but a clean and safe experience. That means:
– sanitizing all products used
– disinfecting the entire working area
– properly organizing the kit
– and most importantly… washing every single brush 🧼

Clean tools = healthy skin + flawless application.

This is the part of the job you don’t always see, but it matters just as much as the makeup itself.

Removing foundation from your brushes properly will completely change your makeup results—and your skin.

Most people just rinse with soap and wonder why their brushes are still stained or feel heavy. The trick is breaking down the product first.

Start by applying a small amount of olive oil to the brush (especially dense foundation brushes). This helps dissolve built-up foundation, oils, and pigments without damaging the bristles. Gently work it through until you see the makeup melting away.

Then go in with a solid soap—this step is what actually cleans the brush. Make sure you’re using clean, gentle ingredients with no harsh chemicals, so you’re not putting anything irritating back onto your skin. Swirl, rinse, and repeat until the water runs clear.

This method keeps your brushes soft, extends their lifespan, and most importantly—keeps your skin clean and breakout-free.

You’d think brides notice the makeup first…
but they notice the kit.

The clean brushes.
The organized products.
The way everything is sanitized and ready.

They also notice how products are applied.
Professional artists never double dip or apply products directly from the tube to the face.
Everything is dispensed onto a palette and applied with clean tools like spatulas, brushes, or disposable spoolies.

It’s not just about creating a beautiful look — it’s about hygiene, safety, and respecting your client’s skin.

On a wedding day, every detail matters. ✨
Brides, this is something to always pay attention to when choosing your makeup artist. Save this for later. 💄

Blush is one of the most underrated steps in makeup, but it can completely change how your face looks.

Here are 3 blush mistakes I see all the time:
1. Skipping blush completely – foundation removes the natural color from your face. Blush brings life and freshness back to the skin.
2. Applying too much at once – blush should look like a soft flush, not a patch of color. Always start light and build up.
3. Placing it too low – blush placed too low can drag the face down. Applying it slightly higher helps lift and sculpt the face.

Blush isn’t just color… it’s what makes makeup look fresh, balanced, and alive.

✨ Self-makeup class is coming up soon, where I’ll teach you how to place blush correctly for your face shape and create a soft, natural look that actually works in real life.

Planning to do your own bridal makeup?
Here are a few tips to help everything go smoothly and last all day:

• Prep your skin really well
Hydrated, well-prepped skin helps makeup sit better and last longer.
• Give time between steps
Let your skincare, primer, and foundation settle before applying the next product. This helps everything blend better and prevents pilling.
• Do a full trial before the wedding
Practice the entire look ahead of time so there are no surprises on the wedding morning.
• Use long-wear products you already know
Your wedding day is not the time to experiment with new makeup.
• Keep the eyes simple if blending is hard
A soft cream eyeshadow in one shade can look elegant and is very beginner-friendly.

Or let a professional handle it so you can relax and enjoy your morning 🤍

Brides who skip the trial regret it.

Not because their makeup looked “bad.”
But because their wedding morning is not the time for adjustments, second-guessing, or trying to explain what “natural but glam but not too glam” means.

A bridal trial isn’t just about testing foundation.
It’s about:
• perfecting your skin prep
• customizing your soft glam
• choosing the right lashes
• adjusting tones for your dress + lighting
• timing the application
• and making sure you feel like you — just elevated

It’s where we remove the unknowns.

When you sit in my chair on your wedding day, I don’t guess. I execute.
Because everything has already been planned, charted, and refined.

Your wedding morning should feel calm, organized, and intentional — not experimental.

2026 brides in NYC & surrounding areas, if you’re investing in your photos, your dress, your venue…
Invest in the rehearsal for your face.

Book the trial. 💍✨

No photoshop!
Yes i hate how easily packaging gets dirty 😫
Love products!
Definitely we need more foundation shades! I got 10 because 11 was to yellow for me so 10,5 Neutral will be perfect. I need to try Light Neutral concealer as well. @patrickta
Lip balm is my favorite and i tried them a lot Rhode, Summer Fridays and so…
Will check new shades and get back with new review!
Textures are so g, very lightweight and youthful looking on skin!
Have you tried new @patricktabeauty products?!?

From strangers to friends ✨
It’s never just a makeup appointment.

It’s the moment you sit in the chair, take a deep breath, and finally slow down.
It’s sharing stories, laughing about life, talking about nerves, weddings, first dates, big moments, and everything in between.
It’s trust — trusting someone not just with your face, but with how you want to feel.

Makeup may be what brings us together, but connection is what stays.
Every appointment is a reminder that beauty is personal, and feeling comfortable, seen, and confident matters just as much as the final look.

Grateful for every client who walks in as a stranger and leaves feeling like a friend 🤍✨

In this case from childhood friend to makeup artist and her muse @cokovic.selestina 🤍

Stop letting your wedding morning get ruined by “good intentions.”

Your wedding morning is not the time for surprises, decisions, or emotional overload.
It’s the moment to sit, breathe, and be taken care of.

Protect your peace by setting these expectations clearly:

• No emotional surprises while you’re in the makeup chair
Letters, gifts, videos, or visits that make you cry can break down makeup instantly and create unnecessary stress. Save them for before makeup or after it’s finished.

• No questions for the bride
Choose one person to be the point of contact. The bride should not be answering texts, vendor questions, or timeline details while getting ready.

• Limit alcohol the night before
Alcohol affects hydration, puffiness, and makeup longevity — even if you “feel fine.”

• Stay seated during makeup
Bring your water or drink with you. Have snacks before or after your application — not during. Getting up interrupts the process and affects the final result.

• No phone use during application
This is your time to relax. Constant phone use changes posture, causes movement, and pulls you out of the moment.

A calm morning isn’t about control — it’s about care.
When the bride is protected, the makeup looks better, the photos feel softer, and the memories are sweeter.

Than products that need to be replaced after expiration date. Than sanitation, makeup bags! Should we start with marketing, extra memory , apps for editing and more and more expenses.

Please respect your artist and don’t say ‘You are expensive’ instead say ‘Your rates are out of my budget’

Variety of products is important especially for sensitive skin clients, if we have little reaction on one product I wipe it of with water and apply another one.

Your bridal trial isn’t just about the look — it’s also about creating a clear plan for your wedding day.

During every trial, I document every single product used on a face & lip chart. From skin prep to foundation shade, powders, liners, and lip combinations. This way nothing is left to memory or guessing.

The night before the wedding, I review your chart so I’m fully prepared to recreate the exact look that worked perfectly for you. Same products, same technique, same beautiful result.

Because when your wedding morning comes, you deserve a makeup artist who is organized, intentional, and ready.

This hurts a little… but it’s necessary.
You don’t see this part of the job… but it matters the most.
Expired = replaced.
Even if it’s barely used. Even if it’s full.

Because your skin is not worth the risk.

A clean, sanitized, organized kit is part of the luxury experience I provide — not an extra.

How you show up matters. ✨

Not just the glam. Not just the final look.
But the details behind the scenes — like carrying clean towel papers in a separate pouch, neatly packed and ready for every client.

Organization is professionalism.
Cleanliness is respect.
Presentation builds trust.

My kit is always clean, sanitized, and intentionally organized because my brides deserve a luxury experience from the very first touch.

It’s never just makeup — it’s the experience. 🤍

Save this if you believe details make the difference.

You ask me often…
“Are lash extensions a problem for makeup application?”

Not at all. 🤍

I simply adjust my technique. If there are small gaps or uneven areas, I use soft individual lashes to fill and balance everything out — keeping it seamless and natural.

Makeup is never one-size-fits-all. It’s about customizing to you.

Save this if you’re a lash extension girl or share with one you know worry about this ✨

Same client. Two different years.

If you trusted me in 2024, you can absolutely trust me in 2026.
Behind every look is constant investment — in my education, in my professional kit, in hygiene, and in understanding different skin types, textures, and sensitivities.

Trends change, but my standards don’t. My goal is always the same: makeup that enhances your natural beauty, feels comfortable on the skin, and lasts through real moments — not just photos. Returning clients are proof that consistency, care, and experience truly matter.

Why Bridal Trial Skin Prep Is So Important

A bridal trial isn’t just about the makeup look — it’s about your skin. During the trial, we carefully test how products perform on your specific skin type and check for any sensitivity or reactions. This allows us to see what your skin loves, what lasts best, and what needs to be adjusted. If everything works beautifully, we’ll recreate the exact same skin prep and products on your wedding day. If not, we’ll thoughtfully swap products and avoid any ingredients that may cause irritation, ensuring your skin looks calm, healthy, and flawless when it matters most.

✨ Ready to feel confident in your skin on your wedding day? Book your bridal trial and let’s perfect your skin prep together.

Client needed early morning makeup for event and than at night they had celebration party so we needed to do makeup transition!
After morning event she just washed face a bit but kept eyebrows and eyebmakeup makeup.
Before night party we made eyeshadow more dramatic and did face all over!
She looked stunning!
