Professional makeup for the days that get photographed

A 45-minute professional makeup application at Branford River Spa is $75. It covers full prep and application — skin prep and primer, base matched to your skin in natural light, eyes, brows, lip and a setting finish built to survive a long day of photographs, hugging and Connecticut humidity.

Bring a reference photo if you have one, and tell us where you are going. A wedding, engagement session, prom, gala and a birthday dinner each need a different intensity, and the fastest route to makeup you actually like is telling your artist what you normally wear and what you never wear.

The order to book things in before an event

Timing matters more than anything else. Book brow waxing and airbrush tanning one to two days ahead so redness settles and colour develops. Book any facial with extractions two to three weeks out, or a no-downtime HydraFacial two to three days out. A lash lift can be done a week ahead and holds for two to three weeks. Makeup itself goes last, on the day.

Guests from Branford, Guilford, Madison, East Haven, North Branford, Short Beach, Clinton, Wallingford and New Haven book makeup alongside hair and bridal-party services all season. If several of you are coming, put everything into one cart and our booking system schedules each person with the right provider and room in sequence.

Frequently asked questions

How much is makeup application in Branford, CT?

A professional 45-minute makeup application is $75. Your live total, including any other services in the cart, appears before payment.

Do you do bridal parties?

Yes. Add each guest's services to one cart and our booking system schedules everyone with the right provider in sequence. For larger groups, use our spa party request so we can plan the day around you.

Should I get a facial before makeup?

Yes, but with the right gap. A facial with extractions belongs two to three weeks before your event; a no-downtime HydraFacial can be two to three days before. Never book an extraction facial the day before.

When should I get my brows waxed?

One to two days before, so any redness has fully settled. A 15-minute brow wax is $20.

Can I bring a photo of the look I want?

Please do. It is the single most useful thing you can bring, along with telling your artist what you normally wear day to day.

How long does it last?

A full day and evening. We set it for long wear, and you are welcome to bring your own lipstick for touch-ups later on.
