Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, Caitlyn works with ALL clients and is extremely experienced, comfortable, confident and skilled in working with clients of all ages, all skin types, all skin tones.

If you are getting your makeup done, please do not get a facial or wax your brows/face a few days prior to the makeup appointment, otherwise, the makeup application will not go on as it should.

Be sure to come to your appointment with a clean face. Feel free to do whatever skincare you normally do in the morning/prior to applying makeup.

If you are taking a makeup lesson with Caitlyn, please come with a clean face along with your current makeup products and tools.

Caitlyn’s in-home studio is located within the Charlotte, NC area. My address is given once you inquire/book.

Regular Appointments: take place in-studio or on-location.

Weddings: take place on-location, wherever you plan on getting ready, whether that’s at your home, hotel, or venue.

Caitlyn only uses the best of the best high-end, luxe makeup products in her professional kit, including Charlotte Tilbury, Patrick Ta, Dior, YSL, Hourglass, Givenchy, Prada, Makeup By Mario, Armani, Tom Ford, NARS, Westman Atelier, Saie, Fenty Beauty, Rare Beauty, and more.

If you take a makeup lesson with Caitlyn, she will work within your budget (if you are in need of new makeup) whether that’s drugstore, high-end, or somewhere in the middle.

Weddings with Caitlyn are typically booked 9 months in advance, though you can book her any time after that, as long as she is available.

Caitlyn recommends doing your bridal makeup preview 1 - 3 months before your wedding day, as this time frame is the sweet spot so that the “big day” isn’t too far away, and you’ve hopefully gotten into a good skincare routine/have a good idea of your complete wedding day vision at this point.

Since Caitlyn is in-demand and does not hold dates (weddings are booked on a first to inquire and sign a contract basis), previews are only for brides who have officially booked. You are welcome to explore the Makeup by Caitlyn Michelle website, Instagram and TikTok to view her work and get to know her personality and Google to read all her five-star reviews.
