Not just that, there are also many logistic details that you need to work out with the artist and their team. To make it easy for you, here’s a list of all the questions you must ask your MUA before finalizing your bridal makeup booking. So go ahead and don’t refrain from asking these questions. Make sure you have all your doubts settled before you lock your decision.

Finalizing a Bridal Makeup Booking? Don’t Forget to ask These Questions

Ask About the MUA’s Availability for Your Bridal Makeup Booking

Before you make your bridal makeup booking, you must confirm the exact date and time with your makeup artist. This is the first thing you’ve got to ask your MUA before you go ahead with the other queries. If the artist has other bookings on the same day, make sure you fix up the time for your appointment. You don’t want any last minute chaos or cancellations, so be very upfront about when you’ll be needing the artist at the venue. Make sure your booking doesn’t clash with anyone else’s booking otherwise you’ll end up getting late for your function. Ask the makeup artist how long it’ll take for you to get ready and plan things accordingly. It’s always safe to keep a margin of 30-45 minutes to avoid chaos on your big day.

Ask the MUA for a Complete Breakdown of the Services They Provide

A bridal makeup booking is not only about makeup. The makeup team is responsible for getting you fully ready and glammed up for your big day. Typically, when you book a MUA, they also come with professionals for hair styling and dupatta draping. In some cases, makeup and hair for the mother of the bride are also included along with all the accessories. So make sure you get a full breakdown of all the services your makeup artist will provide. Cross-check to make sure no hidden charges are included. Finalize a makeup artist you can trust, not only with hair and makeup but also with logistics.

Ask Your Makeup Artist About all the Products They’ll Use

Most makeup artists are charging a bomb for bridal bookings these days. So make sure you at least get good quality work done. Some makeup artists might scam you by using cheap products. For your big day, you can’t risk using products that don’t last long or leave you with an allergic reaction. So make sure you ask about the kind and quality of products your makeup artist will be using on you. And if there are any of your own products that you would like to carry to avoid allergies, like lipstick or kaajal, inform your makeup artist in advance.

Make Sure You’re Clear About the Charges and Payment Terms for Your Bridal Makeup Booking

Before you finalize the makeup booking, cross check the prices again. Specially if you’ve been negotiating, make sure you and the makeup artist have agreed on the same amount. Also, ensure that you have all the payment terms in place. In most cases, the makeup artist would share a contract or an official email regarding the advance and the remaining payment. Make sure you discuss all these terms with the artist and get an acknowledgment for the same. Many makeup artists charge a 50% advance prior to the wedding and the remaining after getting the bride ready. Finalize the artist only after you’re comfortable with these terms.

Look at the Artist’s Portfolio and get a Makeup Trial

This is one of the most important steps when it comes to finalizing your bridal makeup booking. Ask the makeup artist if they have a proper portfolio. Many artists are also using Instagram as their portfolio these days, so you could also go through their Instagram page thoroughly. Only once you’re satisfied with their work, you should contact them for prices and availability. Every bride has her own vision of how she wants to look on her big day. So if you need further satisfaction, ask your makeup artist if they’ll give you a trial before the big day. Many makeup artists readily agree for a trial. You can take that opportunity to see exactly how you’d like your makeup look to turn out.

Will They Carry all the Necessary Equipment and Accessories?

There are many tools and accessories that one needs for makeup and hair. Like hair tools, hair accessories, eyelashes, hair extensions, nail paint, lenses etc. Ask your makeup artist if they’ll carry all these necessary items or not. In some cases, they might ask the bride to carry her own stuff. To avoid chaos at the last minute, confirm all this with your artist. Also, if there’s specific accessory you want, confirm with the makeup artist whether it will go with your look or not and who will bring it. If by mistake you miss an item because of confusion, it’ll be a big hassle to arrange it at the last minute. So make sure you confirm all these details.

Do you Have a Team to Cover Everyone’s Makeup

Whether yours is a destination wedding or a wedding in your home town, there are often guests who would ask you to arrange for a makeup artist for them. Your chachis, buas or cousins might need assistance getting ready for your wedding. And if not them, your sister and mother would definitely need makeup artists. So ask your bridal MUA if she has a team to cover your relatives’ makeup as well. This way you can get a great deal and will have less people to coordinate with. It’s a great idea to have a team on standby in case anyone needs any help with hair and makeup.

Ask how the Makeup Artist Envisions Your Look

Another important question to ask before finalizing your bridal booking is what kind of makeup your artist would suggest for you. Depending on your outfit and the current trends, the makeup artist can suggest a look that would be perfect for you. Discussing this will help you understand whether you and your makeup artist agree creatively or not. This will also help you build trust and have faith in the artist’s vision and work. Discussing all the in advance will make the whole process stress free and seamless on your wedding day.

We hope you found this list helpful for your big day. Make sure you ask these important question before you finalize your bridal makeup booking. And for more such tips on fashion and makeup, stay tuned to Styl Inc Blogs.
