8. What are these additional charges? **

Additional Charges apply in the following cases:

1. Provision of False eyelash.
    Depending on the quality of lash, different prices will be charged.

    If you require lashes which I do NOT have in stock (e.g.: feather lash), I reserve the right

    to charge transportation fees in acquiring the lash.
    (Cost of false lash can range from $2 to $15, depending on type)
2. Provision of Foundation.
    An arbitrary cost of $2 will be charged, unless I am able to borrow foundation from
    others (i.e.: your friends)
    This is due to the hassle of having to mix foundations to your shade and providing the
    foundation.
    * I do NOT always bring foundations out with me, if you did not bring foundation,
       please inform beforehand to ensure I have something to work with.
3. For additional designs (e.g.: matryoshka face designs)
    Additional cost of up to $15 will be charged, depending on the complexity of the
    design.
    If additional designs are required, please state and provide a clear reference picture.
4. Special Effects Makeup (e.g.: scars, blood, burns...etc)
    Additional cost of up to $20 will be charged, depending on the complexity and the type
    of materials used. Please provide a clear reference picture.
5. Late charge.
    Additional charge of $5 may be implemented if you are later than 20 minutes from the
    time we have previously agreed.
    Appointment will be nulled if you are later than 1 hour without informing me.

    ** Note that prices are listed as "up to", the upper end of additional charges have been

        supplied, but are rarely applied.

9. Erm... I just want some cool butterflies and flowers!

Other requests such as face and body art can be commissioned as well.

10. Where do you do makeup?

I am comfortable with doing makeup in public. If you do not mind, I can make a trip to your photoshoot/event location, within reasonable limits.
I will NOT travel all the way to the east to do makeup for ONE person. Large group hiring may be considered.
If I know you personally / have met you before and judged that you aren't a psychopath, I am also fine with you coming to my house for makeup.
This is preferred as I will have my whole supply of makeup to use, instead of the those I packed for traveling.

11. What gives you the right to charge for makeup?!

>< If it bothers you that much, don't apply for this service...
I do NOT claim to be professionally trained.

I declare that I am self taught and do not hold a diploma or degree in cosmetology.

However, I am confident of being able to deliver if I take on a request.

12. Why did I not get a favorable response?

1. Makeup service availability is dependent on MY schedule. I am a student before a
    makeup artist... despite my wilting grades.
2. I reserve the right to refuse a request if I feel that I'm not able to meet expectations.
