Preparing for your appointment

Makeup for photography and video needs to hold up under different light, from bright outdoor sun to a dim reception room. Ask how the artist tests the look in both, and whether a trial is included.

Arrive with clean, moisturized skin and photos of the looks you like. Share details of your outfit, your skin type and any sensitivities. Ask for a written timeline that includes touch-up time before photographs.
