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.

Arrive with clean, moisturised skin. Bring any product preferences or inspiration images. If you have known skin sensitivities or allergies, let your artist know in advance. For event makeup, bring your outfit if possible so colours can be coordinated.

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.
