Frequently Asked Questions
Start by checking their portfolio and reviews, this will give you an idea of their expertise and whether their work aligns with your vision. For brides or anyone with specific skin concerns, ask about the products they use to ensure compatibility with your skin. Booking a trial session is highly recommended to avoid last-minute surprises. Also, check their punctuality and hygiene practices, as a good artist should maintain a clean kit.
Your skin should be clean, hydrated, and prepped for the best makeup results. A day before, exfoliate gently to remove dead skin cells and apply a good moisturizer. Avoid trying new skincare products, as they might cause breakouts or irritation.
If you have a reference photo, bring it to help the artist understand your vision. On the day of your appointment, wear a button-down shirt to avoid ruining your makeup while changing outfits. If you have oily skin, ask the artist to use a mattifying primer and oil-control setting spray for longer wear.
Makeup application time depends on the look you’re going for. A simple glam look takes about 45–60 minutes, while bridal or special event makeup can take 2–3 hours due to accuracy and layering. If additional features like false lashes, contouring, or airbrush makeup are involved, expect extra time. Special effects or costume makeup can take even longer, depending on the difficulty. Always plan accordingly, especially for events like weddings, where you will need extra buffer time.
Pricing depends on experience, location, and the type of makeup service you need.
- Basic event makeup: $50–$150
- Bridal makeup: $150–$500+ (includes trials and touch-ups)
- Photoshoot makeup: $100–$300
- Special effects makeup: $100+ (varies by design and difficulty)
Some artists charge extra for travel, false lashes, and airbrush makeup, so always confirm pricing details before booking.
To make sure your look remains intact, here are a few key steps we suggest taking.
- Find a specialist: Look for artists experienced in bridal, event, or long-wear makeup.
- Check reviews and portfolios: See if their makeup holds up in long events and different conditions.
- Ask about products: Ensure they use waterproof, sweat-resistant, and high-quality formulas.
- Book a trial: Test how the makeup lasts on your skin before the big day.
