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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Standard makeup holds 6 to 8 hours without touchups in normal conditions. Humid weather cuts wear time by 2 to 3 hours. Setting spray extends durability by 30 to 60 minutes. Long-wear primers can push coverage to 10 hours. Oil-blotting papers are carried in the touchup kit for shine control during long events.
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.
