Your wedding day makeup is more than just a beauty routine—it’s a key part of feeling confident and radiant as you walk down the aisle. To ensure your vision comes to life, it’s crucial to ask your bridal makeup artist the right questions before booking and after securing your date. In this guide, we’ll break down the top questions to ask, so you can find a skilled professional who aligns with your style, budget, and wedding day needs.
Questions to Ask Before Booking a Bridal Makeup Artist
These questions will help you vet potential artists and find your perfect match:
"Can I see your portfolio of bridal makeup looks?"
Look for diversity in styles (natural, glam, bold) and experience with different skin tones, ethnicities, and wedding themes.
"Do you specialize in bridal makeup?"
Bridal makeup requires unique expertise (e.g., long-lasting formulas, photography-friendly techniques).
"What products do you use?"
Ensure they use high-quality, hypoallergenic, and long-wear brands (e.g., MAC, Make Up For Ever, Charlotte Tilbury).
"Do you offer a trial run? What’s included?"
A trial is non-negotiable! Ask about the trial cost, duration, and if adjustments are included.
"What’s your pricing structure?"
Clarify costs for the trial, wedding day makeup, travel fees, and bridal party services.
"Are you available on my wedding date?"
Popular artists book up quickly, especially during peak wedding seasons (spring/fall).
"Do you have reviews or testimonials from past brides?"
Check Google, Instagram, or their website for honest feedback.
Questions to Ask After Booking
Once you’ve chosen your artist, these questions will ensure smooth sailing:
"How should I prepare for my trial?"
Should you arrive with a clean face? Bring inspiration photos? Wear a white shirt?
"How long will the trial and wedding day services take?"
Trials typically last 1.5–2 hours; wedding day services vary based on the size of your bridal party.
"Do you require a contract or deposit?"
Understand payment terms, cancellation policies, and what’s included in your package.
"Will you travel to my venue or require a specific setup?"
Confirm their arrival time, parking needs, and if they’ll need a well-lit workspace.
"What’s your plan for touch-ups throughout the day?"
Ask if they provide a touch-up kit or stay on-site for post-ceremony refreshes.
"Should I adjust my skincare routine before the wedding?"
Pros often recommend avoiding new products, exfoliating gently, and staying hydrated.
"What happens in case of an emergency?"
Ensure they have a backup plan if they’re unable to attend (e.g., a trusted colleague).
