Frequently asked questions
How far in advance should I book a makeup artist?
For weddings, 6-12 months ahead for popular dates — the best artists book out for peak-season weekends well in advance. For events and shoots, a few weeks is usually enough. Once your date is fixed, secure the artist (and the trial) early rather than leaving it to the last month.
What's the difference between regular and airbrush makeup?
Airbrush applies foundation as a fine mist for a lightweight, long-wearing, camera-friendly finish, and it's popular for weddings and photoshoots. Traditional application is more customisable and better for very dry or textured skin. Neither is universally 'better' — it depends on your skin and the look; a good artist will advise.
How much does a makeup artist cost?
Pricing is usually per face for events and per booking for weddings, where a trial plus the wedding-day application costs more than a single party look. Bridal is the premium tier because of the trial, the stakes and early-morning timing. Travel/call-out fees, false lashes and airbrushing are common add-ons — ask what's included.
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.
How much does a makeup artist cost in Hong Kong?
Event makeup commonly runs HKD 600-1,500 per face, and bridal packages HKD 3,000-10,000+ for the bride (trial plus day with multiple looks), with the bridal party per-person on top. Change-of-look surcharges are standard.
