Questions To Ask Your Freelance Makeup Artist

Whether you are the wedding planner or one of the bridesmaids given the responsibilities to handle the bridal makeup and hair arrangements, there are some things one needs to keep in mind while booking a freelance makeup artist in Delhi. Here we have compiled a list of some important questions you should ask the prospective candidates to select the right one for your event:

1. Do you maintain any makeup blog or is there any website I can refer to?

The website or the blog writings would help you get an overall image of the artist you are considering to hire. If they maintain a website you can go through their client testimonials and picture gallery to evaluate their quality of work and the working pattern they follow.

2. Can you give me a few past client referrals?

Make sure you contact and inquire about the makeup artist in Chennai or Delhi about the latest work they did. This would help you get a clear view of the artist’s client relationships both during and after the event they were hired for.

3. What is the fixed total amount you charge for the entire event?

It is necessary that you discuss this point in detail with the makeup artist well before the actual event. Shying away in discussing the finances would become very problematic for you in the future.

4. Are the makeup artists qualified or have any specific training?

Hiring an artist with some professional qualification or training from a known makeup school or brand like MAC and Lakme would be good. However if you like the makeup skills of the artists and he/she has considerable experience in this field, it would be wise to consider him/her.

5. Which brand products would you use for the makeup? Can I include my own items?

You don’t want to receive a shocker on the big day, trust us! Also, it is always better to include your preferred makeup brand for a comfortable and convenient experience.

6. Would you be comfortable in travelling to my wedding venue?

Whether you are holding your wedding in some other city than the artist or the wedding location has changed suddenly due to some circumstances outside your control, it is always better to clear this point before with the salon or artist you wish to hire so as to avoid conflict or worse cancellations later. It would also be wise to discuss the payment modes and plans at the time of booking. These questions would help you get a clear understanding between both the parties involved and facilitate a smooth transaction.
