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.
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.
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.
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.
Long events in venues above 24 °C shorten wear by 1 to 2 hours. Humid climates above 60 percent require waterproof primers and silicone-based setting sprays. Ask the artist about specific formulas for tropical or summer weddings. Bring blotting papers rated for makeup.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
