It’s really important to find the right make-up artist who not only makes you look flawless for your wedding day, but also creates a look that works for you. The Wedding Team at Delamere Manor have compiled a list of our top five burning questions you should ask your make-up artist before you complete your booking…

1. Are you available on my wedding day?

The first question you will want to ask your make-up artist is whether they are available on your wedding day. This will avoid any unnecessary correspondence and disappointment at a later date. It’s also important to make sure they are available for trial runs too!

2. Do you specialise in wedding make-up?

Specialised wedding make-up artists have all the skills to create a natural, flawless look for your wedding day. Taking all aspects into consideration including lighting, photography angles and locations, hiring a pro wedding make-up artist will provide the best value for money compared to fashion and magazine artists.  

3. Which make-up products do you use?

If you’re prone to problematic skin, then you will know how new products can cause upset and breakouts on your face. It’s important to find out exactly which products your make-up artist will be using to create your wedding look, so your skin doesn’t wreak havoc on your special day. Top tip: try out the products before your make-up artists uses them in your trial so they can look for alternative products. 

4. What is included in your proposed price?

To ensure your make-up artist fits within your budget, ask them exactly what is included in their proposed price to avoid any last-minute, additional costs. Make sure to ask about travel expenses, trial sessions, deposits, and bridal party package deals.

5. Can I use fake tan?

If you’re planning on going for a spray tan before your wedding day, it’s important to inform your make-up artist to ensure they can match your make-up with your skin. Consider having a spray tan before your make-up trial so they can pair products with your skin tone.
