Book the trial 30 to 45 days before the event. Bring reference photos showing desired intensity, color palette, and finish. The artist photographs the look under natural and artificial light. Trials take 90 to 120 minutes and let you adjust coverage, liner shape, and lip color before the main day.
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.

Book 4 to 8 weeks before weddings or major events. Last-minute slots under 2 weeks usually cost more. Ask for a written quote, deposit terms, and cancellation rules. Confirm date, start time, and travel fee before paying. A clear schedule avoids rushed application on the day.
Look for at least 10 recent photos taken in natural daylight. Check skin tones close to yours and lash density. Note brushwork on the jawline and temples. A consistent portfolio across 3 years signals reliable technique. Avoid edited or filtered images that hide texture.
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.
Long events in venues above 24 °C shorten wear by 1 to 2 hours. Humid climates above 60 percent require waterproof primers and silicone-based setting sprays. Ask the artist about specific formulas for tropical or summer weddings. Bring blotting papers rated for makeup.
