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.
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.
A standard daytime makeup application takes 45 to 60 minutes. Bridal or evening looks with lashes and contour usually need 75 to 90 minutes. Add 15 minutes if multiple people are booked back to back. Confirm the timing so your event schedule leaves room for it.
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.
Most reputable artists offer a trial run 2 to 4 weeks before the event. The trial tests longevity, color match, and comfort on your skin. Allow 90 to 120 minutes for a full trial. If the artist skips this step, ask why. A rushed first-time application often leads to midday fading or creasing.
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.
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.
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.
A makeup artist service covers skin prep, foundation matching, eye makeup, contouring, lipstick, and setting. Some include hairstyling, lashes, or touch-up kits. Ask if the artist brings their own products or expects you to supply any. Confirm whether the price covers just application or full trial sessions too.
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.
