Weddings are booked up to 12 months in advance and Tease & Makeup tends to book out quite quickly on a first come first serve policy (based on a signed contract and deposit)

Stephanie personally provides all makeup services and accepts a maximum of four applications per wedding day—the bride plus up to three additional guests. This allows her to provide the personalized, elevated experience each client deserves.

For larger bridal parties, additional artists must be booked separately by the bride. Stephanie is happy to provide recommendations upon booking.

Tease & Makeup uses only the best professional‑grade products to ensure flawless and long-lasting results. My kit features top‑selling brands including Dior, NARS, Patrick Ta, Makeup by Mario, Givenchy, Armani, Makeup Forever, Fenty, Charlotte Tilbury, Rhode, Rare Beauty, Kosas, Tower 28,, Estee Lauder, MAC, Hourglass, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Glow Recipe, Kiehl’s, Laura Mercier, Kenra, Fav4, Big Sexy Hair, IGK and so many others.

If you have any known allergies or sensitivities, please let me know before booking, your safety and comfort are my priority.

At this time, I exclusively use cream and liquid products that are formulated for longevity!

I provide both strip and individual lashes depending on the desired look and the client’s eye shape. Lashes are included in the cost of all services.

There is no cost adjustment if lashes are not desired – but trust me, you’ll want them later on! Most photography diminishes the appearance of natural lashes by at least 50%.

Please send me a message so that I can have a complete understanding of your skin so that I can make sure I am prepared to accommodate.

Since preview session/trials do not hold dates, they are only provided for those who have booked.

Your Bridal Makeup & Hairstyling trial takes place at Stephanie’s home studio, located in the 13413 zip code area.

If you’re out of state or traveling from a longer distance, we may be able to use your rehearsal dinner as your trial!

Trials are included with every bridal package at no additional cost, ensuring a truly elevated and stress-free experience.

Trials are available only to the Bride. Upon request I might be able to accommodate a trial for someone in your party. Please note that I have very limited availability and prioritize my bridal clients over everyone else.

Booking your bridal makeup and hair trial with Tease & Makeup is an important step in preparing for your wedding day. I recommend scheduling your trial 2-4 months before the big day, as this gives you time for your hair to reach the desired length, settle into a skincare routine, and finalize your wedding day look. 

All services booked with Tease & Makeup are provided exclusively by Stephanie. If you need additional artists for the rest of your bridal party, Stephanie will be happy to share her trusted referral list once your package is booked.

Yes! Stephanie creates a personalized wedding day schedule in 20-minute increments to ensure your day runs smoothly. Together with the bride, she’ll craft a customized timeline and provide a finalized copy well in advance, so it can be shared with your bridal party and wedding coordinator for seamless coordination.

Yes! Tease & Makeup offers professional on-location bridal hair and makeup services, whether it’s in your bridal suite, hotel room, AirBnB, residence, or another location in Upstate New York.

To ensure enough time for styling, check with your venue or coordinator about the suite’s opening time. If early access isn’t available, getting ready at a hotel, AirBnB, or private residence provides a stress-free, luxurious bridal prep experience.

Tease & Makeup provides everything necessary for a professional and luxurious hair and makeup experience from start to finish.

To ensure your look stays flawless all day, I recommend bringing your own lip liner, lipstick or gloss for touch-ups throughout the evening. Depending on your look, the lip color I use may need refreshing after eating, drinking, talking, or kissing.

Stephanie stays on-site until all scheduled services are completed, based on your previously agreed-upon timeline. If you’d like Stephanie to stay longer for additional touch-ups or styling, she’s available for $150 per hour, a popular option many clients choose. Inquire for details and availability.
