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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
A signed contract should list service type, date, hours, total fee, and refund rules. Public liability insurance of at least 1 million covers allergic reactions and stains. Pay deposits by traceable methods. Keep a printed copy of every chat and approval email for safety.
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.
Prices vary with artist experience, location travel distance, and event time. Early morning fees add 10 to 20 percent for 5 AM calls. Bridal packages cost more due to trial sessions and travel. Premium brands like HD foundations add 15 to 25 percent to material costs. Ask for an itemized quote.
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.
