Eyelash application, false strip lashes, or individual flares add 10 to 15 minutes per eye. Waterline lining, graphic liner, or cut crease styles take longer than standard shadow blends. Ask whether lash removal is included if you wear contact lenses. Detail work is the part most rushed by inexperienced artists.
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.
Price depends on event type, number of people, travel distance, and whether lashes and hairstyling are included. Weekend and holiday bookings cost more. An artist with 5 or more years of experience charges higher rates. Always request a written quote that lists what is and is not included.
Schedule the artist at least 3 hours before photography or ceremony start time. Allow a 15 minute buffer between clients if multiple people share the booking. Confirm parking, elevator access, and a clean mirror setup at the venue. These small details prevent delays and stress on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
