About Makeup

Reading the artist's portfolio

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.

Working with the photographer

HD or airbrush foundations reduce flashback under flash photography. Avoid SPF-heavy products, which reflect white light. Matte finishes photograph better than dewy ones for outdoor sessions. Schedule the makeup 90 minutes before the first photo. Bring blotting powder for shine control during long shoots.

The trial session

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.

Contracts, insurance, and payment proof

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.

Layer count and skin feel

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.

Booking window and lead time

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.

Allergy and reaction prevention

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.

Skin type and product choice

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.

Communicating skin conditions in advance

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.

Foundation matching and undertones

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.
