💜 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Everything you need to know about your DL Effect Makeup Mastery Consultation.

💜 YOUR CONSULTATION

What is a DL Effect Makeup Mastery Consultation?

A private, 90-minute makeup learning experience with professional award-winning Hollywood makeup artist De Shawn LaFaye.

If you have makeup, bring it and your questions about anything. Your makeup routine, skin care, the things that have been giving you trouble. We’ll work together to help you understand what works for your face and how to recreate it yourself.

What should I bring?

If you have them, bring your makeup bag and the products and tools you normally use, 

If not, don't worry. I have plenty of makeup and brushes in the studio to help you find your perfect shade and how to find it on your own with the help of your Makeup Mastery Pages app. 

If you have photos of makeup looks you love, bring those too. They can help us understand the look you want to learn.

Do I need to have my own makeup to book with you? 

Not at all.

You can be completely new to makeup, comfortable with the basics, or someone who has worn makeup for years but feels like your old routine no longer works for you.

We start with where you are.

How long is the consultation?

Your private Makeup Mastery Consultation is 90 minutes.

That gives us time to look at your current routine, answer your questions, work through your products, and focus on the techniques you want to learn.

Where can I take private makeup lessons in Little Rock?

DL Effect offers private, one-on-one makeup lessons through Makeup Mastery Consultations at Haven Salon Studios in West Little Rock, Arkansas. You'll work directly with professional makeup artist De Shawn LaFaye to learn how to do your own makeup using techniques personalized to your face, features, products, lifestyle, and skill level. You’ll receive the information you need for your visit when you book.

💜 YOUR MAKEUP

Can you help me figure out which products are right for me?

Yes.

We’ll look at what you already own first. We can identify what works, what may not be serving you, and what might actually be missing from your routine.

The goal is not to send you shopping for an entirely new makeup bag. It’s to help you understand what works for you.

What if I have a ton of makeup but still don't know what to use?

Bring it!

If Sephora, Ulta, social media, beauty counters, and endless product choices have left you with a makeup bag full of products and more questions than answers, we can sort through it together.

Can you teach makeup for mature skin?

Absolutely.

Skin changes, and sometimes our makeup needs to change with it. We can work with your skin as it is today and explore products, textures, placement, coverage, and application techniques that create the finish you want.

Can you help me create an everyday makeup routine?

Yes.

If you want a clean, fresh, polished look that you can realistically recreate, we can build your consultation around that.

Your routine should make sense for your life.

What if I have one specific makeup problem?

Bring that too.

Foundation not looking right? Concealer creasing? Brows driving you crazy? Blush placement confusing? Makeup disappearing halfway through the day?

Your consultation is personalized, so we can spend time on the things you actually want help with.

Will you just do my makeup for me?

No. This is Makeup Mastery.

We’ll work through the application together so you understand what you're doing, how to do it, and why it works.

The beautiful makeup is nice. Knowing how to recreate it when you get home is the point.

💜 SPECIAL OCCASIONS & REAL LIFE

Can I learn a more polished or special-occasion look?

Yes.

Bring inspiration for the kind of look you want. We’ll adapt it to your own features, coloring, comfort level, and skill level so you can actually recreate it.

Can you teach me how to do my makeup for a vacation or destination wedding?

Absolutely.

This is especially useful when your regular makeup artist won't be traveling with you.

Brides, bridesmaids, mothers of the bride or groom, wedding guests, and vacation travelers can learn a reliable, photo-ready look before leaving home.

Can you help me figure out what makeup to pack for a trip?

Yes.

Once you know which products work together, you can pack intentionally instead of taking half the bathroom with you.

Can I learn how to make my makeup look survive the Arkansas heat and humidity?

Great question, and YES. I live here, so I know. 😂

We can address products and application techniques that make more sense for Arkansas heat and humidity and help you create a polished look that holds up better in real life.

💜 GIFTS & GOOD TO KNOW

Can I give a Makeup Mastery Consultation as a gift?

Yes!

Makeup Mastery makes a wonderful experience gift for birthdays, holidays, Mother's Day, graduation, bridal occasions, anniversaries, vacations, or simply for someone who has always wanted to learn how to do her makeup.

You don't have to guess her foundation shade or buy products she may never use. You're giving her the opportunity to learn what works for her.

Is Makeup Mastery a good gift for my daughter?

Yes.

It can be especially helpful for a daughter who is beginning to explore makeup and would benefit from learning proper techniques from a professional instead of trying to piece everything together from social media.

And it works the other way too. Adult daughters can give Makeup Mastery to their mothers as a fun way to refresh a routine they've been using for years.

Do I have to buy products from DL Effect?

No.

DL Effect Makeup Mastery is about education.

If we recommend something, it is because we believe it makes sense for your needs, routine, preferences, and desired look. You are not required to purchase specific products.

Is my consultation private?

Yes.

Your Makeup Mastery Consultation is a private, one-on-one experience. You have dedicated time to ask questions, practice, learn, and talk about anything that has been confusing or frustrating you about makeup.
