Finding a makeup artist for a wedding, pre-wedding shoot or important evening begins with a clear brief. Note the date, venue or getting-ready address, start time, number of people and the finish you prefer, such as fresh, satin, softly defined or full coverage.
In Sydney, a pre-wedding booking may include both makeup and hair, especially for Asian and multicultural celebrations with outfit changes or traditional ceremonies.
Before contacting artists, gather a few reference images and write down what appeals to you in each one. A short, specific enquiry is easier to answer than a message containing only a date and a vague request.
