About Makeup

Skin prep before the appointment

Cleanse and exfoliate 24 hours before. Skip new skincare products for at least 5 days to avoid reactions. Avoid self-tanner on the face for 7 days. Drink water and sleep 8 hours the night before. Well-prepped skin holds foundation longer and reduces the need for touchups during the event.

Allergy and reaction prevention

Request a patch test 48 hours before the service. Common allergens include fragrance, parabens, and nickel in metal compacts. Redness, itching, or swelling within 24 hours signals a reaction. Carry antihistamines if you have sensitive skin. Insist on seeing unopened product tubes to confirm expiration dates and batch numbers.

Studio versus on-location work

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.

Touch-up kit for the event day

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.

Skin type and product choice

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.

What affects the price

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.

Reading the artist's portfolio

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.

Communicating skin conditions in advance

Share any active dermatitis, rosacea, eczema, or recent procedures like chemical peels done under 14 days. Disclose retinol use and oral medications. Sensitive skin may need fragrance-free or mineral-only lines. A 48-hour patch test reduces the risk of visible irritation.

Tools and hygiene standards

Brushes and sponges must be cleaned with brush soap between clients. Disposable applicators are used for mascara and lip product. The artist should carry alcohol spray for shared palettes. Check that tools arrive in a closed case. Dirty tools spread bacteria and cause eye infections within 24 to 48 hours.

Working with the photographer

HD or airbrush foundations reduce flashback under flash photography. Avoid SPF-heavy products, which reflect white light. Matte finishes photograph better than dewy ones for outdoor sessions. Schedule the makeup 90 minutes before the first photo. Bring blotting powder for shine control during long shoots.
