About Makeup Artist
Cancellations, Deposits, and Reschedules
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.
Red Flags When Hiring a Makeup Artist
Avoid artists who refuse a trial, pressure you to skip patch testing, or have no portfolio of recent work on real faces. Be wary of prices that seem far below the local average, as this often means expired products or rushed timing. Always check reviews from clients with similar skin tones.
Different Looks a Makeup Artist Can Build
Ask for a portfolio split into categories: bridal, editorial, soft glam, and stage. Confirm the artist has worked on at least 3 skin tones close to yours. A versatile kit usually holds 40 to 60 foundation shades, multiple lash styles, and cream or powder palettes for both daytime and evening finishes.
Primer, Base, and Setting Choices
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.
Colour Matching in Natural Light
Foundation should be tested on the jaw, not the hand. Swatch 2 to 3 close shades side by side and step outside or near a window with indirect daylight. The correct tone disappears into the skin. Indoor yellow bulbs can skew the match by half a shade, so ask for a daylight check before booking.
Skin Prep Before the Artist Arrives
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.
Working With Sensitive Eyes or Skin
Mention allergies, eczema, or contact lens use at the enquiry stage. Ask whether the artist carries hypoallergenic mascara, fragrance-free remover, and single-use wands. A patch test on the inner arm 48 hours ahead can prevent a flare-up on event day. Sterile disposables for liner and lashes reduce infection risk significantly.
Hairline, Neck, and Ear Coverage
Base should blend 2 cm into the hairline and down to the collarbone. Ears often need a thin layer to match face tone under bright lights. Ask if the artist includes neck and shoulder work or charges by zone. A seamless blend here reads cleaner in photos than on the cheeks alone.
Sweat, Heat, and Climate Control
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.
Group Bookings and Assistant Rates
Most solo artists handle 1 client every 90 to 120 minutes. For 3 or more people, ask whether they bring a senior assistant, since rates drop slightly per head. Confirm chair and mirror availability, and cap the group at 5 people per artist to keep quality and timing steady throughout the morning.
