What to Ask for When Getting Your Makeup Done by A Professional

  • Arrive without any makeup on and your face freshly cleansed. But if you’re only getting your eyes done, for example, then have your foundation and concealer completed
  • Choose a brand you like and get their recommendations first, before agreeing to any makeup application. This makes sure you are on the same page
  • Explain the occasion and why you’re getting makeup done to help the artist decide on the best products (HD, photo ready, waterproof, etc) for you
  • Be clear about what you want: natural, dewy, matte, full-face, smoky eye, dramatic. Using keywords will give them a better idea. Don’t just say, ‘whatever you think is best!’ because you might be disappointed
  • If you’re still having trouble conveying what to ask when getting makeup done, bring pictures or show photos from Pinterest on your phone

And don’t forget that if you’re getting makeup done for your wedding, speak with the beauty consultant about a trial run! That’s the only way to really be 100% sure you’ll love the way you look. xo
