Happy new day sweetheart!!
As a professional makeup artist, I work almost exclusively with brides. In many conversations with young women planning Their Day, I often hear an obvious lack of knowledge about what they should be discussing with me. I find they really have no idea what questions to ask….or what answers they ought to be getting.
Book an artist you feel comfortable with, that you communicate easily with and who you naturally find yourself trusting. The makeup artist’s first priority is to provide beautiful makeup in the style you want, but she should also offer some moral support, help to boost your confidence and soothe your raw nerves in those last hours before you walk down the aisle.
Here are a few questions you should ask your makeup artist.
1. How do i book my date? Do you require a deposit? Is there a contract?
2. Will you be at my wedding or will you send another artist?
3. May i see your portfolio?
4. Do you have a facebook page, website or a blog?
5. What do you charge ?
6. Can you accommodate a bridal party? how long would it take?
7. Can you duplicate a look from a picture i found in a magazine?
8. What kind/brand of makeup products do you use?
9. How do I keep my makeup fresh for the whole day? How will the product wear? What about color-matched products to touch up with?
10.I have skin allergies or severe acne. Can you work with me? Do you airbrush? Can you contour my face? How about covering blemishes or my tattoo? Do you apply false lashes? Do you do wedding hair?
11. Do you charge a travel or location fee? How far do you travel for that fee? What other travel-related expenses will I need to cover? What will be the total cost of the services I want?
12. What happens at the makeup trial Session? Do I come to you for this appointment? How much is the Trial or is it included in your services? How long will the test run take?
13. How many other brides do you have on my wedding day?
Share what questions you asked or would love to ask your artist on your d-day.
STAY FAB!!!
