Express makeup

Express makeup is not the same thing done faster. It is a different decision: the most result from the fewest steps. What makes it work is being clear about what is being dropped — otherwise fast makeup is just unfinished makeup.

What stays and what goes

With little time, priority goes to whatever changes how a face reads most — and that is not what most people assume.

  • Stays: evening the tone, but only where it is needed
  • Stays: the brow, which frames the face and changes the most
  • Stays: the lash line, or mascara
  • Goes: full coverage across the whole face
  • Goes: multi-layered eye work
  • Goes: contouring, unless the lighting demands it

When it is the right choice

The express format suits an event that came up suddenly, a plan that changed at midday, or going straight from work to an evening.

It does not suit a wedding, a photoshoot or a long event. In those cases the time saved is spent twice over afterwards: the makeup either does not hold or does not read in the photographs.

From the office straight to the evening

This is the most frequent express case and it has its own logic: there is already makeup on the face, partly worn away.

The whole approach is not to remove it. It gets corrected and one accent is added on top. Starting again from clean skin takes longer in this situation and produces a worse result.

Booking and travel

Express makeup works best with the artist coming to you, because travel is precisely where the time you are trying to save disappears.

Send the hour you need to be ready and where you are. Prices start at 150 GEL; there is no reduced rate for the short format, because the journey and the setup take the same time regardless of how long the makeup itself takes.

Frequently asked questions

How good can it be in that time?
The quality does not drop — the scope does. What is done is done properly; there are simply fewer steps. That is why we say in advance what will not be included.
Is it suitable for a photoshoot?
No. A shoot is the one case where the fast format works directly against the brief: a camera shows exactly the details the express version leaves out.
Is it cheaper because it is quicker?
No. Prices start at 150 GEL as with anything else. Travel and setup take the same time whatever the length of the appointment.
Can I book for today?
It depends on that day's schedule. Send the hour and the location — if there is a free interval we will confirm straight away.
