About Makeup
Removal and skin recovery
Use micellar water or oil-based cleanser within 12 hours of the event. Avoid scrubbing. Apply a fragrance-free moisturizer after cleansing. Skin may feel tight or show minor redness for 24 hours. Skip active ingredients like retinol for 2 days after heavy makeup to let the barrier recover fully.
What affects the price
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.
False lashes and extensions
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.
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.
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.
Types of makeup services
Three main options exist. Everyday makeup takes 30 to 45 minutes and uses light products. Event makeup lasts 60 to 90 minutes with more pigment and stronger hold. Bridal makeup usually runs 90 to 120 minutes and includes a trial session. Each type uses different brushes, primers, and setting sprays suited to skin type and occasion.
Painted versus airbrush finish
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.
Touch-up kit for the event day
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.
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.
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.
