Makeup Artists are not mind readers. We try to ask all sorts of questions to make sure we get it right. Help your makeup artist give you the results you want by following these easy steps!
- Research the makeup artist and their work to ensure they align with your style and preferences.
- To achieve your desired look, bring reference photos and examples of makeup that you like, ideally from the makeup artist’s portfolio (such as their social media or website). This will help you communicate the outcome that you want.
- Apply a gentle scrub and then moisturize your face the night before.
- Cleanse and moisturize your face the night before to ensure a smooth canvas for the makeup application.
- Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol and salty foods to reduce the risk of puffiness and dryness.
- Wear a white or light-colored shirt to see how the makeup looks against your skin tone.
- Avoid wearing any makeup to the appointment to allow the artist to work with a clean slate.
- Communicate any skin sensitivities or allergies to the artist to avoid any adverse reactions.
- Discuss the occasion and lighting conditions to ensure the makeup is appropriate.
- Finally, relax and enjoy the experience! Use this as an opportunity to learn new makeup techniques and tips.
