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 15 minutes to 1 hour. 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.

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.

Book a makeup artist for weddings, formals, galas, parties, photoshoots, or any occasion where you want a flawless, long-lasting look. For weddings, a trial is strongly recommended 4–8 weeks before the event to agree on the final look.
