Frequently Asked Questions

How does Happ help makeup artists?

Happ is the homebase for independent makeup artists. It brings all your Collaborations into one mobile-first workspace - contracts, payments, and billing. Pricing and contract terms draw on the entire creator network, so you quote from real data. Set day-rate hours and overtime tiers, cover travel, and price beauty, editorial, and FX work separately.

How do I document my day rate so overtime is not a fight?

Smart Legal Terms surfaces a day rate clause specifying included hours and overtime tiers. Hours past the agreed call are billed at the documented rate.

How do I cover travel time and accommodation?

Travel and accommodation are documented as separate line items or reimbursable expenses in your agreement.

How do I charge differently for beauty vs. FX work?

Tiered pricing in your agreement defines different rates for beauty, editorial, special FX, and prosthetics. Each tier is its own line item.

What if a Collaborator wants to use my work in markets or formats I did not agree to?

Usage rights in your agreement define where your work can appear. Each new use is a new agreement you negotiate and invoice for.

What if a shoot gets cancelled last minute?

Your agreement includes a tiered kill fee. You define the windows.

How does Happ keep track of all my Collaborators and Collaborations?

Every Collaborator is organized in your Homebase with full contract and payment history.

Do I need a contract for a makeup booking?

For any paid booking - beauty, editorial, bridal, or FX - yes. Happ's Smart Legal Terms surfaces clauses for day-rate hours, overtime, travel, and cancellation, and you decide which apply. Happ suggests, you decide.

How much should I charge as a makeup artist?

Happ does not set your rates - Smart Pricing surfaces relevant benchmarks from the community brain, so you can price a day rate, a bridal package, or FX work with real market context. You set the number, and the terms lock into the agreement before the booking.

How do makeup artists invoice clients and get paid?

Invoicing is tied to the signed agreement - deposit on booking, balance plus any overtime on the day - paid straight through Happ. Happ never takes a commission on your work; the only cost is a standard payment processing fee that depends on how your Collaborator pays, always shown to you upfront. Every booking's payment status lives in your Homebase.
