Edinburgh Makeover FAQs
Q) How long does it take to be properly “INDULGED” ?
A) Your time at the studio will last approximatly 2-3 hours. This will include your professional makeup being applied, hair styled, and of course, your photoshoot. Remember, we will never rush you, and we hope that you won’t rush either. “INDULGENCE” is a day when time does not matter!
Q) Do I need to bring anything with me?
A) The object of “INDULGENCE” is to create images of you that you will be thrilled with, and between you, our hair stylist, our make up artist, our stylist and our photographer we will create out of what you bring with you various looks that work. You are also advised to bring accessories, jewellery and appropriate footwear.
Q) Can I have an “INDULGENCE” with my friend(s)?
A) Yes you can have photos with friends/family. “INDULGENCE” can be for up to six people on one day.
Q) Should I apply makeup an the day I am being “INDULGED”?
A) We suggest that you wear little or no makeup on the day you are being “INDULGED”. Our very experienced make-up artist will create a flawless finish fir you, so we suggest that you let her do all the work that day! After all, INDULGENCE is about being pampered.
Q) Should I apply any products to my hair on the day that I am being INDULGED?
A) We recommend that you wash your hair either on the day of your makeover, or the day before. It is best not to apply any products to your hair on the day of the makeover as our hair stylist takes great pride in creating new looks for you.
Q) I always get nervous having my picture taken and it shows!
A) Our professional photographer will immediately put you at ease and help you to feel comfortable in front of the camera. For most people this is a slightly strange experience, and takes some getting used to, but within a few minutes of the photo shoot, you will find yourself relaxing and getting into the swing of things. The creative team will direct you on how to pose, from your facial expression, to your body angle, right down to how to position your hands and feet. With years of experienc of working with women of all ages and confidence levels, we feel certain that we will find your “best side” very quickly!.
Q) When will I be able to view my photos?
A) During the “INDULGENCE” session, we will show you some sneak previews of the photographs as we begin to capture each new look that we create. Once the “INDULGENCE” session is complete, we will make an appointment with you to return to the studio for a “cinema” style preview of your photographs, and you are welcome to bring a friend or partner to this private screening if you wish. The viewing will generally be 5 to 7 days after the INDULGENCE session.. An express service can also be created which you can discuss inyour viewing session.
Q) Can photos be retouched?
A) Of course they can. Our team of professional digital retouchers will as a matter of course deal with blemishes, skin imperfections and the like. We can create anything you require from your photos, however we would not do anything radical unless you ask us to.
Q) Is there any obligation to purchase any additional products other than the free print included?
A) No. Your session fee included the cost of the time of all of the professionals involved in your makeover, and the production of your chosen 7″x5″ print. You do of course have the option to purchase additional products including prints, framed prints and albums. Photographs start from as little as £45.
