How Do I Tell Which Makeup Artist I Want?

Choosing your wedding makeup artist is one of the most personal vendor decisions you'll make.

1. Talk About Your Routine

Share your daily routine with potential artists. A good MUA will ask about your skin type and sensitivities.

2. Review Their Portfolio

Look for photos that show a range of skin tones similar to yours and work that photographs beautifully.

3. Check Reviews

Look for consistent praise around punctuality and longevity of the makeup throughout the full day.

4. Schedule a Trial

Book it 6–8 weeks before the wedding. Wear the look for a full day to assess how it holds up.
