Choosing a makeup artist is not easy. Makeup artists come a dime a dozen. There are some that will charge you for everything they do separately.They will charge you for special designs. There are makeup artists that will charge you for a consult. There are makeup Artists whom will charge you extra for transportation to your venue( most of my clients usually send a car for me) Some makeup artists will charge you for your pre-wedding photo shoot.
Most make up artists don't need a licence for what they do, however they do need to go to school and have at least 200 hours of beauty school. In my state , N.J you do not need a licence however you need to know that sterilization and cleanliness is most important! Any person in any beauty business needs to know this!!
I take sterilization of my tools very , very seriously only because, HIV and Aids and even herpes can be spread from one client to another. It is very important while interviewing your makeup artist that you look at how he or she keeps his/her equipment. I use an airbrush which definitely cuts down on illnesses. I ask my customers to bring their own mascara and after each customer, I clean all my brushes with alcohol and hot water. I also change my makeup including eye-shadows and lipsticks every three months(you should do this for your self as well, bacteria is no joke) and after each customer I spray them with a special spray.
Don't ever just settle for any make up artist because you like their work. Make sure that these people have your heath in mind.Make sure these people have your best interests in mind not just the all mighty dollar!!
Another thing that really annoys me about some makeup artists is instead of asking you about how you wish to look, they force a look on you. Some even just have one style which they do on everyone.
The best thing you should do is have a makeup practice day, before your big day, like a wedding rehearsal. Bring some pictures for the artist to see so she can do the style you choose or you can have the artist try different styles on you and take pictures. Then you can decide which one you like the best. It may be a little pricey but it is better then having to walk around with a look that you are totally unsatisfied with on your special day. I charge one flat fee which includes everything, practice, transportation and your special designs. Not everyone's preferences are the same so I try to give you the best price for what you are asking me to do.I also give my clients facial wash and moisturizers which help to brighten your skin and keep your face in excellent condition so you can shine on your special day.
I hope this was helpful and I hope you get everything you want for your special day.
