Your check list before booking a makeup artist for wedding in 2023

Book your make up artist in advance.

1.It is advisable to book your make up artist ,once, your wedding date is fixed. Begin reviewing their works and check with them their availability and charges

Have a chat with them across the table

2. It is always better to create a one to one rapport with your make up artist. You could get trials of your make over. You will get a good sense of their work style and your comfort zone with them. That one person who is in close confine with you during your wedding is the make up artist.

Questions to ask them

Ask them about

Their team: Who will be working on you, who does hair ?

The products they use

The time they will take to get you ready

Do they allow photographers to shoot while the makeup is going on.

Other booking they have on the same day

Services to Include

At whatever price that they quote, you should ideally be getting:

Hairstyling

Nail paints

Draping

Eyelashes

Maybe even a shampoo (if you are at their salon)

so that you don’t have to look for anyone else’s help to get completely ready. If you aren't getting this, then get a quote which includes all of this.

Family Members

Once you have booked them, please specify in advance if you have other members of your family and friends who would like help in getting ready and exactly what services they need. The makeup artist will plan ahead and keep the products and resources available to meet your needs and in such a case please be ready to pay extra for the services at a pre-decided/discussed charges.

Delays

Keep in touch with them on the day of your functions and tell them the status in advance. That’s better than having them wait half a day burning their time and energy at your venue! If visiting a salon, you might get a time slot from them when you can come in and get dedicated time with your makeup artist. Try and be there on time and if in case you can't, be patient and wait a bit before the artist can start with you. At that time even though it might be getting very late for you, there is no time to rush and panic. Take a deep breath, inform the artist that you are short on time and let them do their best!

Cancellations

In case you cancel for absolutely any reason, be prepared to forgo the advance amount that you gave them to block their dates for you. In case the makeup artist cancels (which ideally they shouldn’t but since they are humans too, cancellations may happen due to sickness or any other emergencies). There is no harm in asking for a back up plan. If a makeup artist is cancelling for any reason, they should be able to provide you with someone else to fill in for them and save the day. The charges too that you pay in that case can be negotiated based on who the back up artist is.

Communicate

While they are actually getting you ready, be free to tell them what you like and what you are not comfortable with. You should be happy with the way you look on the best day of your life!

Keep in mind,

If you aren’t happy with anything, there are plenty of ways to tell them politely without being rude or raising your voice. Let them know nicely and chances are they will go an extra mile and put in more than what’s expected to make your day extra special!
