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.
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.
Check 10 or more recent reviews across 2 platforms, focusing on comments about punctuality, hygiene, and shade match. Ask for certificates or dated training in sanitation, and request 3 unfiltered before-and-after photos of clients with similar skin tone, hair, and event type to the one you are planning.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
