Correspondence:

As with all human service providers, Please understand that during busy periods, communication and email replies may be slower than usual. Francine Ray Makeup has dedicated admin days for bridal correspondence. Please be patient outwith these days as I am usually either on location working on a wedding, at trial or a shoot. Emails are my preferred mode of correspondence. If you do not hear back after 72 hours of an enquiry, please resend your enquiry as I have likely missed it and will never knowingly ignore an enquiry. Alternatively please use social media messages.

Masterclasses / Events

All tickets must be purchased for personal use. Tickets are non refundable and non transferable. In the event that a Masterclass or event is postponed or rescheduled, Francine Ray Makeup will automatically transfer your booking to a new date/ location. Your tickets and places will be moved to this new date and we will use reasonable endeavours to inform you of this change using the email address you provided when making your original purchase and the makeup artists social media platforms. There will be no obligation to refund any purchases made in this instance. If an event/ masterclass is rescheduled, Francine Ray Makeup cannot be held responsible for any resulting costs you may incur for travel, accommodation and other related goods, services or compensation.
