How an In-person Consultation works in San Mateo

$$MultiPurposeText$$

What to expect during a tailored semi-permanent makeup planning visit at our downtown San Mateo studio.

Preparing for your in-person consultation

At your in-studio meeting we’ll review your goals, lifestyle and any skin sensitivities, then map out realistic options for semi-permanent enhancement. The conversation centers on shape, color preferences and maintenance needs so recommendations fit your daily routine — particularly important for commuters and professionals who prioritize quick, reliable results.

We encourage clients to bring photos of brows, lips or previous makeup styles they like, plus a list of medications and medical history that could affect skin healing. Consultations last 30 minutes and are priced at $50; they'll give you a clear understanding of next steps without committing to a procedure.

How we tailor recommendations

During the consult we assess your facial proportions, skin tone and personal grooming habits to shape recommendations that age well and suit your daily routine. We discuss realistic color ranges and upkeep expectations so you can weigh trade-offs between low-maintenance looks and more defined, high-attention styles.

Our skilled team brings an artistic eye to the planning session, offering visual guidance on proportions and symmetry without performing any procedure during the visit. If you choose to book a service, the consult details inform the treatment plan and color selection to keep results consistent with your consultation choices.

Scheduling and local access

Consultations last 30 minutes and are priced at $50. Deposits are required for in-person consultations and the deposit value will be used towards any booked service. This short visit fits into a commute-friendly schedule for clients traveling from nearby Burlingame, Foster City, Belmont and San Carlos or using Caltrain and local highways.

Lilas Marie Studio is in downtown San Mateo near South B Street, Central Park and the San Mateo Caltrain Station, making it simple to add a 30-minute consultation into a lunch break or shopping visit. We design appointment times mindful of Peninsula commuting patterns and the area's walkable retail and dining options.

Bring photos of looks you like, a list of medications, and information about recent skin treatments or allergies. Arrive a few minutes early to complete intake forms. A deposit is required to secure your appointment; the consultation itself is $50 and any paid deposit will be credited toward a booked service.

If you live or work on the Peninsula — from San Mateo to Hillsborough and Foster City — schedule your consultation to get tailored recommendations. The short, focused visit helps busy clients decide on semi-permanent makeup without committing to a treatment immediately.
