About Makeup
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Studio versus on-location work
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.
Tools and hygiene standards
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.
Lighting conditions during application
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.
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.
