Arrive with a Clean Face: Start with a clean and moisturized face before arriving at the salon. This provides a smooth canvas for the makeup artist.

Bring Inspiration: Bring pictures or references of the makeup look you desire. This helps the makeup artist understand your preferences and create a customized look.

Communicate Preferences: Clearly communicate your preferences, such as the level of coverage, color preferences, and any specific features you want to emphasize.

Wear a Button-Up Shirt: Wear a button-up shirt to avoid messing up your hair and makeup when changing into your outfit after the makeup application.

Inform about Allergies or Sensitivities: Inform the makeup artist about any allergies or sensitivities you may have to certain makeup products. This ensures they use suitable products for your skin.

Exfoliate Lips: If you want to emphasize your lips, exfoliate them lightly before the makeup application for a smoother lipstick application.

Avoid Touching Your Face: Once your makeup is done, avoid touching your face to prevent smudging or transferring the makeup.

Ask for Product Details: If you love the products used, ask the makeup artist for details. This way, you can recreate the look at home or purchase the products if desired.

Set Your Makeup: If the makeup artist hasn’t already, use a setting spray to set your makeup, ensuring it lasts throughout the day or night.

Be Mindful of Hugging and Clothing: Be mindful when hugging others or putting on clothing, especially if the makeup is freshly applied. Opt for garments that won’t smudge your makeup.

Share Feedback: If there are aspects of the makeup you love or areas you’d like adjusted, communicate this with the makeup artist. Constructive feedback helps them understand your preferences better.

Learn Removal Techniques: If you’re not familiar with removing certain makeup products, ask the makeup artist for tips on safe and effective removal.
