Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking professional makeup in Medellín.

How much does a professional makeup artist cost in Medellín?

It depends on the service: social event makeup, quinceañera, or bridal (which includes a trial session). You'll find all current rates on my pricing page, and I'm happy to send you an exact quote for your event over WhatsApp within minutes.

Do you offer at-home or hotel makeup service?

Yes, I come to your home, apartment, or hotel with my full professional kit. I serve El Poblado, Laureles, Envigado, Sabaneta, Belén, Itagüí, Bello, and Rionegro/Llanogrande. A small travel fee applies depending on the zone, which I confirm when you book.

What does bridal makeup include?

My bridal service includes a full trial 2 to 4 weeks before the wedding, makeup on the big day, and a touch-up kit so you look flawless through the whole celebration. I'm also available very early in the morning for weddings with demanding schedules.

How far in advance should I book?

For event makeup I recommend booking 1 to 2 weeks ahead. Brides should reserve 2 to 3 months in advance to secure the date and the trial. During graduation and quinceañera season, book 3 to 4 weeks ahead because slots fill up fast.

How long does the makeup last?

My makeup lasts 12 to 16 hours intact. I work with long-wear products chosen specifically for Medellín's humid climate, so it holds up through heat, dancing, and even happy tears.

What products and brands do you use?

I use only high-end, long-wear professional products, with brands like Estée Lauder, MAC, Charlotte Tilbury, and Maybelline's pro lines. I select every product for your skin type to guarantee a flawless, skin-healthy finish.

Do you do quinceañera makeup?

Yes, it's one of my favorite services. I create a soft glam designed for young skin: fresh, luminous, and perfect for photos. I offer a trial session and special packages that include mom and sisters so the whole family looks amazing.

Do you speak English?

Yes, I work in both Spanish and English. I have extensive experience with international brides and expat clients who live in or travel to Medellín for their events, and we can chat on WhatsApp in either language.

Can you do makeup for a group or bridal party?

Absolutely. I offer group packages for bridesmaids, moms, and friends getting ready together, with coordinated timing so everyone is ready on schedule. Tell me how many people and I'll build the perfect timeline.

How do I book and how can I pay?

You can book via WhatsApp or directly online at addagio.io, where you see my real-time availability. I accept cash, card, Nequi, and Bancolombia transfer, whatever is easiest for you.
