How to Prep for Your Makeup Appointment: Glow Starts Before the Glam

Start with a clean, hydrated base. Arriving with fresh, makeup-free skin gives your artist the perfect canvas. Clean skin ensures products layer smoothly and last longer throughout the day. Light exfoliation and moisturized skin (especially around the nose and under eyes) can make all the difference in how your makeup wears. Bonus points if you’ve been following your skincare routine consistently!

Timeliness and presence go hand-in-hand. Arriving on time helps your artist deliver the best results without rushing especially if you're part of a wedding party or photoshoot schedule.

While it’s normal to be excited or multitasking, try to minimize distractions. Keeping your eyes relaxed or softly closed when needed, and staying present, helps the makeup process go smoothly and comfortably for both of us!

Your comfort matters. Makeup should feel like a moment of ease and confidence. Wear something cozy with an open neckline or adjustable straps, and don't be afraid to speak up about what you love. This is your time to feel pampered, seen, and glowing—so let the glam process be as enjoyable as the final reveal!

Be ready to sit and settle in. Depending on the look, appointments can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 90 minutes!

It’s helpful to clear that time in your mind and body wear something comfortable, have your phone on silent if possible, and bring a water bottle or coffee to sip on.

Your artist is pouring focus into every detail, so your stillness and patience really contribute to the magic! YAYYY!

Tweaks are always welcome. Makeup is deeply personal, and this is your moment. If something feels off whether it’s a lip color, lash style, or how your skin is setting speak up with love and honesty!

A great artist wants you to leave feeling fully yourself and more. Open communication ensures the final look reflects your comfort, confidence, and individuality.
