Face up Commissions and FAQ

I have 4 commission slots open at a time, on a first come first serve basis. Each slot has a limit of two heads and up to 4 pairs of hands and/or feet OR one full body/parts + 2 head for blushing. At the bottom of the page past the examples is the commission form, please read through it carefully and fill it out to the best of your abilities. The form will be disabled and lack a "submit" button once I have confirmed and filled the 4 open slots or if comissions are closed.
I will discuss payment plans, mock-ups, additional face up details or needs prior to fully confirming your slot to make sure that I can fulfill your request. Once I have confirmed to take your commission, I will supply you with my shipping address. Once your items arrive I will inspect, clean and prep them for work.
I will send progress photo updates at key stages; Brow shape and placement, makeup, tattoos, if any piercings have been applied, prior to final sealing, and directly after gloss and lash application (when applicable).

POLICIES

I will not replicate other artists’ works. Exceptions: you have original artist’s written permission and I can confirm this with the original artist.
I do not work on recasts. Please respect this.
I do not wait list or reserve for the next month if my current slots are full.
If you are requesting lashes, please provide a face protector. I am not responsible for damaged lashes if a face protector is not provided. I will do my best to protect lashes with packing methods if a protector is not provided.
1 redo/wipe is permitted for free. any additional wipes are 1/2 cost.
Work is guaranteed for 1 year under normal handling and care conditions. Drops, poor or rough handling are not covered.

I lean towards realism with my face ups. Blushing comes with blue and green undertones to simulate skin and skin texture. If you wish for something more basic please let me know in the comment section.
I will not ship until I have received full payment by PayPal.

FAQ
Q: Do you have a wait-list or can I reserve a slot for an upcoming commission period?
A: At this time, no. Due to my own personal schedule I may not be able to open up a new commission period directly after another has ended and therefore can not promise a reserved slot.
Q: What is the turnaround time?
A: Depending on the face up complexity between 2-5 weeks unless otherwise stated or inclement weather prevents work (humidity, or high heat)
Q: What if I don’t like the face up?
A: If it’s a minor change, or at a stage where a sealant layer hasn’t been applied over the top, the change can be made at no additional charge. EX: Fuller lashes, or brows. Extra lip lines, more freckles. If however it’s something that would require wiping the face completely you are permited 1 free wipe, any additional wipes are 1/2 cost of base faceup. In the event we cannot come to a resolution or you simply do not like the results I will wipe the head and ship it back to you at cost of the shipping paid by you.
Q: When and how do I pay?
A: Payment must be completed before the head is shipped back. You can pay several ways.

Upfront after we have discussed and confirmed your slot.
Partial at conformation with the remainder (including shipping costs) upon completion and final approval of faceup.
At the end after you have fully approved the faceup.
If you would like to do a layaway please discuss this with me before hand for terms.

Q: What materials do you use for face ups?
A: Face up removal and general cleaning: 70%-90% Isopropyl Alcohol, ultrasonic cleaner and dawn dish soap, Windsor & Newton only when absolutely needed.
Face up Materials: Rembrandt, Pan and Schmincke Pastels, Liquitex and Golden Acrylics.
Sealants, Varnish and Gloss: Golden Polymer Matte Varnish with UV protections (UVLS) & Golden Polymer Gloss varnish with UV protections (UVLS)
