About Makeup
Questions to ask the artist
Ask about years of experience, sanitation procedures, and product brands used. Request a portfolio with at least 10 recent photos in similar lighting. Confirm travel fees, parking costs, and cancellation policy. Ask who handles touchups during the event. Clear answers on these points prevent miscommunication and surprise charges.
Removal and skin recovery
Use micellar water or oil-based cleanser within 12 hours of the event. Avoid scrubbing. Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer after cleansing. Skin may feel tight or show minor redness for 24 hours. Skip active ingredients like retinol for 2 days after heavy makeup to let the barrier recover fully.
Working with the photographer
HD or airbrush foundations reduce flashback under flash photography. Avoid SPF-heavy products, which reflect white light. Matte finishes photograph better than dewy ones for outdoor sessions. Schedule the makeup 90 minutes before the first photo. Bring blotting powder for shine control during long shoots.
What affects the price
Prices vary with artist experience, location travel distance, and event time. Early morning fees add 10 to 20 percent for 5 AM calls. Bridal packages cost more due to trial sessions and travel. Premium brands like HD foundations add 15 to 25 percent to material costs. Ask for an itemized quote.
Allergy and reaction prevention
Request a patch test 48 hours before the service. Common allergens include fragrance, parabens, and nickel in metal compacts. Redness, itching, or swelling within 24 hours signals a reaction. Carry antihistamines if you have sensitive skin. Insist on seeing unopened product tubes to confirm expiration dates and batch numbers.
False lashes and extensions
Strip lashes take 10 to 15 minutes to apply with lash glue. Individual lashes require 45 to 60 minutes for a full set. Strip lashes last one day; individuals stay 2 to 3 weeks. Hypoallergenic glue lowers irritation risk. Always patch-test glue on the wrist 24 hours before application.
Duration and durability
Standard makeup holds 6 to 8 hours without touchups in normal conditions. Humid weather cuts wear time by 2 to 3 hours. Setting spray extends durability by 30 to 60 minutes. Long-wear primers can push coverage to 10 hours. Oil-blotting papers are carried in the touchup kit for shine control during long events.
The trial session
Book the trial 30 to 45 days before the event. Bring reference photos showing desired intensity, color palette, and finish. The artist photographs the look under natural and artificial light. Trials take 90 to 120 minutes and let you adjust coverage, liner shape, and lip color before the main day.
Tools and hygiene standards
Brushes and sponges must be cleaned with brush soap between clients. Disposable applicators are used for mascara and lip product. The artist should carry alcohol spray for shared palettes. Check that tools arrive in a closed case. Dirty tools spread bacteria and cause eye infections within 24 to 48 hours.
Skin type and product choice
Oily skin needs mattifying primers and powder-based foundations. Dry skin benefits from hydrating serums and cream formulas. Combination skin requires zone-based application. Sensitive skin calls for fragrance-free, hypoallergenic products. A trained artist will test formulas on the jawline before full application to prevent breakouts or redness.
