About Makeup

Removal and skin recovery

Use micellar water or oil-based cleanser within 12 hours of the event. Avoid scrubbing. Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer after cleansing. Skin may feel tight or show minor redness for 24 hours. Skip active ingredients like retinol for 2 days after heavy makeup to let the barrier recover fully.

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.

Foundation matching and undertones

Test 3 swatches along the jawline in daylight, not store light. Undertone matters: warm, cool, or neutral. A wrong match shows grey or orange casts on the neck. Request samples to wear for 6 hours before final approval. Coverage should even without heavy layering.

False lashes and extensions

Strip lashes take 10 to 15 minutes to apply with lash glue. Individual lashes require 45 to 60 minutes for a full set. Strip lashes last one day; individuals stay 2 to 3 weeks. Hypoallergenic glue lowers irritation risk. Always patch-test glue on the wrist 24 hours before application.

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.

Questions to ask the artist

Ask about years of experience, sanitation procedures, and product brands used. Request a portfolio with at least 10 recent photos in similar lighting. Confirm travel fees, parking costs, and cancellation policy. Ask who handles touchups during the event. Clear answers on these points prevent miscommunication and surprise charges.

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.

Lighting conditions during application

Daylight bulbs rated 5000 K to 5500 K show true color. Yellow tungsten light hides redness and dark circles. Ask the artist to use daylight plus a mirror at eye level. Final checks should happen in the same light type where photos will be taken.

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.

Painted versus airbrush finish

Painted application uses brushes and sponges, taking 35 to 50 minutes. Airbrush uses a 0.5 mm nozzle spraying silicone or water-based pigments, taking 20 to 35 minutes. Airbrush lasts 2 to 4 hours longer on hot skin but costs more. Ask which method suits your event.
