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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Good artists ask about your skin type, allergies, and any active skin conditions before booking. They match foundation to your undertone and skin finish. Ask which brands they use and whether products are fragrance free. Bring photos of your skin in natural light so they can plan the right base formula.
Long-wear and waterproof products need an oil-based cleanser, not micellar water alone. Ask the artist to leave a 5 ml sample of remover or recommend a specific one. Cleanse within 12 hours of application, follow with a barrier cream, and avoid active ingredients for 24 hours to prevent post-event breakouts.
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.
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.
