About Makeup Artist

Skin Prep Before the Artist Arrives

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.

Group Bookings and Assistant Rates

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.

What a Makeup Artist Service Usually Covers

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.

Lashes, Lining, and Detail Work

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.

Touch Ups and Longevity Tips

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.

Different Looks a Makeup Artist Can Build

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.

Working With Sensitive Eyes or Skin

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.

Inclusive Shade Ranges and Brands

Ask which brands the artist stocks and whether they own shades beyond the 20 lightest tones. A working kit typically includes at least one brand with 40 plus shades, plus specialty lines for olive, deep, or cool undertones. Bring a reference photo of your skin in daylight if your undertone is hard to match.

Skin Type and Product Matching

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.

Hygiene and Sanitation Standards

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.
