Makeup Service FAQs
There are several types of makeup services available for different occasions, including:
- bridal make-up, designed to be long-lasting and accentuate the natural beauty of the bride.
- special occasion make-up for bolder dramatic looks
- editorial make-up for creative fashion shoots
- natural make-up that enhances your features while still looking natural
Your salon may offer more kinds of make-up services, so be sure to let your make-up artist know what occasion you need make-up for ahead of time.
When choosing a make-up artist, it's important to look at their portfolio and see if their style aligns with the type of service you're looking for. Read reviews and ask for recommendations from friends or family. Meet them in person ahead of time if you can, and make sure to communicate your needs and preferences clearly to ensure you get the look you want.
Arrive with a clean, moisturized face, and bring inspiration photos so your make-up artist can give you the right look. If you have sensitive skin, bring your own make-up products to avoid any potential allergic reactions. And if you plan on changing outfits later in the day, wear loose-fitting clothing so you don't smudge your face when you get changed.
While make-up application is generally safe, there are a few potential side effects to be aware of. Allergic reactions to certain ingredients can occur, and sharing make-up products can increase the risk of infection. It's important to use clean brushes and sponges and to avoid applying make-up on open wounds or irritated skin.
The length of a make-up session depends on the type of make-up and the complexity of the look. Generally, a make-up session can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour 45 minutes. During the session, your make-up artist will consult with you to determine the look you want, prepare your skin, and apply make-up products to create your look.
Make sure your face is clean and exfoliated before your make-up is applied. Use a primer before applying make-up, and set your make-up with a setting spray or powder. Touch-ups throughout the day can also help maintain your make-up. Avoid touching your face to keep your make-up looking fresh. Wear loose-fitting clothing that won't smudge your make-up when you change.
