Questions to Ask Makeup Artists Before Deciding To Hire One

Unfortunately, most brides ask few and usually irrelevant questions during their meetings with makeup artists. Therefore, the decision whether to hire or not a certain makeup artist is based mostly on intuition, which unfortunately doesn’t guarantee much. In your attempt to find the right wedding makeup artist Essex, take your time to make a plan that will help you stay away from headaches later.

1.      What happens with my bridal makeup if you have a problem and are unable to do it?

Problems appear unexpectedly and makeup artists who are professional and offer their services on special occasions must have a backup plan. Ask the makeup artist if she acknowledges the situation and if she has this backup plan in mind.

2.      Do you work with brides often?

Bridal makeup is way different than runaway or advertising makeup. Artists who work exclusively in this area and have never done a bridal makeup or have done this only a few times will most probably never understand your needs and expectations and will tend to suggest a dramatic look that rarely satisfies brides. Also, she won’t be able to work under stress, and you must know that your emotions can easily be transmitted to the persons whom you work with, in case they are unaccustomed to working in these situations.

3.      Ask for references

Ask the makeup artist to give you the telephone numbers of three brides with whom she worked within the last year, call them and find out more about the artist.
