Everything you need to know before booking a makeup artist



Don’t believe everything on the internet
Even though the internet has made it much easier to do things, apps like Instagram and Facebook are not the right way to judge a makeup profile. Despite these apps giving opportunities for businesses like these to have a higher earning at a bigger platform, they aren’t all that is being displayed on their profiles. There is honestly a huge difference between an Instagram profile of a makeup artist with their follower count and posts and what they offer in real life. It can misguide you in many ways by showing you things they want you to see by hiding their bad side. Therefore do not depend on your choice of a makeup artist on an Instagram profile.

Trial meeting:
Despite everything being done online these days, it's important for you to first have a physical meet-up with the artist you’re interested in. The trick is to choose a bunch of professional makeup artists that you like and have a meeting with them. Once you set your mind on the one you like best, have a test run with them and discuss what kind of look you want to pursue. Sometimes what you have in mind might not turn out to be all that great. This meeting gives the artists insight into what they’re working with. This way they are also able to suggest some looks to the brides-to-be, advice them on their hair color or eyebrows, etc. They can observe the bride and see how they’re like and what they would be comfortable with.

References and ratings:
The best way to go about the search for a makeup artist is to find referrals from people who’ve been in the same pickle. There’s nothing greater than getting references from someone who’s had to go through the same things. Ask around and find out who’s the most amazing makeup artist in town, however that won’t be enough. Look into your friends' pictures and see how their looks resulted in. If it works out for you then it would certainly work out for anyone.

Skincare:
No matter how crucial it is for you to look good, nothing is more important than taking care of your health. This includes conveying any skin problems that you might have beforehand to your very makeup artist. Observe the kind of products they use during your trial and see if they would take care of your skin. If you have sensitive skin or any allergies and do not want to compromise your skin, be sure to communicate that to your makeup artist.
