💄Make-up Artists

What to ask a make-up artist

1. 1Do you work with my skin tone and undertone regularly? Can I see photos on similar skin?
2. 2Do you travel to the venue on the day, and how early can you start?
3. 3Is a trial included or priced separately?
4. 4What products do you use, and are they long-wear for a full day of photos and dancing?
5. 5Can you do several faces (bridesmaids, mothers) and how long per face?
