What To Consider Before Hiring a Makeup Artist

By  | 

Do you have a date, a photo-shoot, graduation, a wedding, or a girls’ day out planned? That necessitates a little face polish to bring out your beauty features. Let’s be your beauty – big sister, advising you on what you need to know about beauty and makeup.

No one wants to be the centre of attention because of a makeup mishap. Too light foundation, badly drawn eyebrows or clownish eye shadow. Choosing the makeup artist for your big day is important if you want to show up with your best face forward.

Not knowing some of the following things before hiring a makeup artist could result in a cardiac arrest. Okay, we may have exaggerated a little, but consider your ‘Ka Money’.

Take a read through these made easy tips to keep yourself healthy. 

Request a Portfolio

Don’t be worried, sis! Nobody will send you a heap of papers. You are looking for a makeup artist, not attempting to add the role of human resources. Ask for a link to their work on social media and take a look. If you like what you see, go ahead and hire. Wait! Before you hire, the following point may be critical for you to hire, and I don’t want you to overlook it.

Inquire about their packages and prices.

You’ve probably heard of the phrase “Teka Ssente Wo’laba,” and we wouldn’t want you to be surprised by what you’re getting yourself. If they have any, check out their packages, and don’t be afraid to ask for their price. It’s understandable; you’re not cheap, but you don’t want to look like a fool after the face beat, and they tell you it costs ten times more than you budgeted. Save us all and ask for the damn price.

What products do they use?

Yes, product usage is critical. You are more familiar with your skin, so communicating with a makeup artist to learn about their products could benefit both parties.

Be aware of their duration.

It could be crucial how long it would take you to get all dolled up for your occasion. It will also help you plan your time correctly, but don’t arrive late and start rushing the makeup artist. Why? One of you may lose it, but the truth is that one of you may look uglier.

Inquire about their reservations.

Make an appointment with a makeup artist, or if you need them right away and they are available, do it. However, inquiring about bookings could save you time and money while informing you about the makeup artist’s availability.
