Frequently asked questions

How should I prep my skin before a makeup appointment?

Arrive with clean, moisturised skin and let the artist know about any allergies or sensitivities. For weddings, keep a consistent skincare routine in the weeks before and avoid trying new products right before the day. Good makeup sits on well-prepped skin — the prep is half the result.

What should a bridal makeup quote include?

An itemized quote lists: the trial, the wedding-day application, how many people (bride plus bridal party), false lashes, whether it's airbrush or traditional, travel/call-out fee, early-start surcharge, and any touch-up kit or stay-for-photos time. A single number with no breakdown hides add-ons that stack up.

Does the makeup artist travel to me?

Many do, especially for weddings and events, usually with a travel/call-out fee based on distance. On-location saves you time on a hectic morning. Confirm whether the quoted price is studio-based or includes travel, and clarify any early-start surcharge for dawn wedding calls.

Should I book a bridal trial before the wedding?

Yes — a trial is where you agree the look, test how it wears and photographs, and confirm the artist understands your skin and style. It's the single best way to avoid a wedding-morning surprise. Budget for it as part of the bridal package; most reputable artists include or strongly recommend one.

What are red flags when hiring a makeup artist?

A portfolio of only heavily-filtered images with no real client photos, no trial offered for a wedding, poor hygiene (dirty brushes, double-dipping into products), vague pricing that balloons with add-ons on the day, and no clear cancellation or deposit policy. Reluctance to do a trial for a big event is a real warning sign.

How do I find a good makeup artist in Laval-des-Rapides?

Look at a Laval-des-Rapides artist's real portfolio (not just heavily-filtered social posts) and, ideally, photos of clients with similar skin tone and features to yours. Read reviews for reliability on the day, and always do a trial for anything important. Hygiene — clean brushes, disposable applicators — is non-negotiable.

How much does a makeup artist cost in Canada?

Event makeup commonly runs CAD 75-150 per face, and bridal packages CAD 150-500 for the bride (trial plus day), with the bridal party per-person on top. Airbrush, lashes and travel are add-ons.
