Ask which brands the artist stocks and whether they own shades beyond the 20 lightest tones. A working kit typically includes at least one brand with 40 plus shades, plus specialty lines for olive, deep, or cool undertones. Bring a reference photo of your skin in daylight if your undertone is hard to match.
Arrive with clean skin, no heavy moisturiser, and no recent self-tanner within 48 hours. Drink 500 ml of water the hour before. Exfoliate lips 24 hours prior. If you use retinol or acids, stop them 3 days before to avoid stinging under primer. Bring your usual skincare if you have reactive skin.
Most artists require a 25 to 50 percent deposit to hold the date. Read the cancellation policy carefully. Deposits are usually non refundable within 14 days of the event. Reschedules due to illness often need a doctor's note. Clarify these terms before paying any booking fee.
Ask whether the artist uses disposable mascara wands, clean brushes, and sanitized palettes. Eye infections like styes or conjunctivitis can spread through reused wands. Brushes should be washed between clients. A clean kit is non-negotiable for safety around the eyes and lips.
A makeup artist service covers skin prep, foundation matching, eye makeup, contouring, lipstick, and setting. Some include hairstyling, lashes, or touch-up kits. Ask if the artist brings their own products or expects you to supply any. Confirm whether the price covers just application or full trial sessions too.
Humidity above 60 percent shortens makeup wear by 30 to 60 minutes. Ask for a matte base with targeted highlight, plus blotting papers instead of extra powder. If the venue has no air conditioning, request a primer with polymer film and a second setting spray layer after 10 minutes of drying time.
Good primers are matched to skin condition, not just skin type. Silicone primers smooth pores, hydrating primers fix flakes, and grip primers hold colour makeup. Ask which setting spray the artist uses: a fine mist with humectants extends wear by 1 to 2 hours compared to powder alone, especially under mask or air conditioning.
Ask whether the artist offers a touch up visit or leaves a kit with blotting papers and lipstick. Most applications last 6 to 8 hours with proper setting spray. Sweat, humidity, and tears shorten wear. A primer matched to your skin type extends coverage by 2 to 3 hours in most cases.
A standard daytime makeup application takes 45 to 60 minutes. Bridal or evening looks with lashes and contour usually need 75 to 90 minutes. Add 15 minutes if multiple people are booked back to back. Confirm the timing so your event schedule leaves room for it.
Long-wear and waterproof products need an oil-based cleanser, not micellar water alone. Ask the artist to leave a 5 ml sample of remover or recommend a specific one. Cleanse within 12 hours of application, follow with a barrier cream, and avoid active ingredients for 24 hours to prevent post-event breakouts.
