One thing I can suggest before you show up to your shoot with a bad makeup job from a professional makeup artist is to do a practice run. It’s a good gesture to “Pay” them for their time, if you don’t you will be insulting them.
So reward them for a job well done by purchasing some product from them. These people make their living from selling product and they will be spending a good 45 minutes to an hour+ doing your makeup. Also be prepared to Buy something of significance from them. When going to your local mall or makeup counter, I highly suggest that you be honest with the ladies and guys there, and let them know you are going to a shoot. One “Look” from a makeup artist can be anywhere from $60-$150+, and if you want more, it will be more money. Prices will vary according to what you need, their experience, and believe it or not, their Ego. When looking for a makeup artist, look at their portfolio first, ask questions, and ask how much they charge. Chances are your friend may have had her makeup done on her special day, or the boutique will probably know of a few makeup artists. One other way of finding a makeup artist is ask your friends who just got married, or a wedding boutique. If they don’t know of someone you can always look one up either online at Model Mayhem, Google Search for a local Makeup Artist, or go to your local mall. Chances are they will and will be more than happy to refer you to a good makeup artist. If you don’t know a professional makeup artist personally, you can ask the photographer if he has any suggestions or contacts. When you are going to have a photo shoot there are several ways you can go about getting your makeup professionally done. Again not much Photo shop in this example either. The makeup artist used shadowing techniques with her eyes as well to bring her big bright eyes down to a sultry, sexy, smokey look. The young lady in the second example as I said has a great look and with a little enhancement is a “Bombshell”. Model: Erin, MUA: Marissa Freeman, Photo: Darkman Minimal Photo shop in these pictures folks. Great model, pretty girl, but has some blemishes that needed to “Disappear” in front of the camera, so that’s what we did. I will give you two examples of makeup that really helped with a shoot.Įxample one, is a model I worked with in the past. I wouldn’t be able to work with these people with the way their makeup was, so that day was a scrap.įrom then on I had learned if I need a model to do a shoot for something in my portfolio, I will either pay for her makeup to be done, or I will do a trade with a makeup artist for prints for their portfolio in exchange for their services. I have setup shoots with models in the past who said they could do their own makeup, and when they showed up with their makeup already done by themselves I was very disappointed. So you just don’t want your “One in a Million” chance to be a “Could’ve been a Good Shot” if you can help it. I always suggest to my clientele to have their makeup professionally done before doing a shoot with me, you just never know when you might get something really good or you might not have a second chance to make something good. The common denominator here folks is “You want to look Your Best”. It’s a modeling gig that pays and you want to look your best. It’s a photo shoot and you want to look your best.Ĥ. It’s Your wedding day and you want to look your best.ģ.
