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.
Request a sealed touch-up kit with 3 ml foundation, mini powder, cotton buds, and 2 ml setting spray. Confirm the artist will stay for 15 minutes of on-site retouching. A printed shade reference card helps future touch-ups by other people during the event.
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.
Most looks use 5 to 8 thin layers: primer, concealer, foundation, powder, blush, bronzer, highlight, and setting spray. Heavy layering over 10 products can feel sticky and crease after 3 hours. Ask how many products will be used and request a matte or dewy finish.
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.
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.
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.
Studios offer controlled lighting and a fixed chair height of around 45 cm. On-location work adds 30 to 60 minutes of travel and setup time. Ask if a portable ring light and power supply are included. Indoor locations need ventilation for sprays and adhesive fumes.
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.
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.
