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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
Some foundations contain SPF that reflects white in flash photography. Tell the artist if your event includes heavy photography. They will switch to a camera friendly formula. Ask to see a flash test photo during the trial to avoid surprise white cast in your final images later on.
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.
