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.
Base should blend 2 cm into the hairline and down to the collarbone. Ears often need a thin layer to match face tone under bright lights. Ask if the artist includes neck and shoulder work or charges by zone. A seamless blend here reads cleaner in photos than on the cheeks alone.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
