Foundation matched to your actual skin tone — not 'close enough'. We test on the jawline and adjust before we apply. No grey, no ash, no pink.
Primer to set spray, every layer is selected for staying power. Long-wear setting spray locks the look for 12+ hours through humidity and Kigali heat.
Photoshoot? We use HD-grade products. Dinner? We dial it back so you look like yourself, only better. Tell us the occasion and the lighting.
Trial included, on-day touch-up kit, and a touch-up team if you book the full bridal package. Your makeup at 11pm should look like it did at 11am.
The most common makeup complaint in Kigali isn't 'I don't like the look' — it's 'this isn't my colour' and 'it's melted by dinner'. We solved both. Every artist on the team trained specifically on African skin tones, so undertone matching is the first thing we do, not the last. And every look gets a full prep-and-set routine: primer, foundation, setting powder, finishing spray. That's why our brides walk out of receptions at midnight looking like they did at the church.
We do soft glam (dinners, dates), full glam (parties, events), editorial (photoshoots), and bridal in three tiers — trial, bridal day, full bridal package with a touch-up team. Bring a reference photo on WhatsApp before your appointment and we'll mix the right products in advance. Walk out with the look. Stay in it.
All services are confirmed by WhatsApp before your appointment. No surprise add-ons.
