What’s their Experience?

When it comes to choosing your makeup artist, you want someone who is not only experienced in the application of beauty products but also has the ability to cater to different facial features.

Check Their Portfolio

You can judge an artist’s professionalism by taking a look at their portfolio. Study pictures of their work on their website or social media handle to gain a better understanding of the specific glam types the artist is accustomed to.

What are their Clients Saying?

Check their reviews and evaluate their abilities based on the feedback they receive from former clients. If you have questions or concerns that need to be addressed, don’t hesitate to reach out to them. 


Once you’ve narrowed down your choices, the next step is one-on-one consultations.

It is really important to get to know your makeup artist and clarify your specific needs with them. Talk about the look you want, and listen to their advice based on their judgement of your facial features.

What eyeshadow colours will make your eyes pop? How much coverage are you looking for in your foundation? Is your skin type better suited for a matte or a dewy finish? Ask your artist about the products they use and make sure that they’re suited for you.
