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.
Brushes and sponges must be cleaned with brush soap between clients. Disposable applicators are used for mascara and lip product. The artist should carry alcohol spray for shared palettes. Check that tools arrive in a closed case. Dirty tools spread bacteria and cause eye infections within 24 to 48 hours.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
