Makeup Artist in National Capital Region

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Event makeup commonly runs PHP 1,500-5,000 per face, and bridal packages PHP 8,000-40,000+ for the bride (trial plus day), with the bridal party per-person on top. Sought-after and celebrity artists price well above these bands.
