Booking a trial

Ask for a trial before the wedding. Bring photos of looks you love, and a picture of your outfit so the artist can match colors and necklines. Wear your hair as you plan to on the day, and take photos in daylight. Tell the artist about skin sensitivities, and ask about products and how long the makeup is meant to last.

Planning the schedule

Work backward from the ceremony start time. Allow about an hour for each person, and add time for photos and travel. Las Vegas heat can affect makeup, so ask about setting products and touch-up kits. If several people need services, check how many artists will attend.

Where they work

The business is based in Las Vegas. Ask about travel to resorts, chapels and desert venues around the city.
