Most looks use 5 to 8 thin layers: primer, concealer, foundation, powder, blush, bronzer, highlight, and setting spray. Heavy layering over 10 products can feel sticky and crease after 3 hours. Ask how many products will be used and request a matte or dewy finish.
Look for at least 10 recent photos taken in natural daylight. Check skin tones close to yours and lash density. Note brushwork on the jawline and temples. A consistent portfolio across 3 years signals reliable technique. Avoid edited or filtered images that hide texture.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A signed contract should list service type, date, hours, total fee, and refund rules. Public liability insurance of at least 1 million covers allergic reactions and stains. Pay deposits by traceable methods. Keep a printed copy of every chat and approval email for safety.
Request a sealed touch-up kit with 3 ml foundation, mini powder, cotton buds, and 2 ml setting spray. Confirm the artist will stay for 15 minutes of on-site retouching. A printed shade reference card helps future touch-ups by other people during the event.
Daylight bulbs rated 5000 K to 5500 K show true color. Yellow tungsten light hides redness and dark circles. Ask the artist to use daylight plus a mirror at eye level. Final checks should happen in the same light type where photos will be taken.
Studios offer controlled lighting and a fixed chair height of around 45 cm. On-location work adds 30 to 60 minutes of travel and setup time. Ask if a portable ring light and power supply are included. Indoor locations need ventilation for sprays and adhesive fumes.
