Shortlist artists who fit the event
Start with the event date, venue, number of people, and the look you want. Review recent portfolio images for work similar to your event and skin-tone range. Check where the artist is based and whether they travel to your venue. A portfolio shows examples of past work; it does not confirm that the artist is available for your date.
Use business listings, referrals, and portfolios to build a shortlist. On KobStore, browse makeup artist service listings and contact providers whose location and work match your requirements. Ask each provider the same questions so you can compare the replies.
Confirm the package in writing
- What services and number of people are included?
- Are a trial session, lashes, touch-ups, or early start included or charged separately?
- Which products will be used, and can the artist accommodate a known product sensitivity?
- What are the travel fee, deposit, balance due, and cancellation or rescheduling terms?
- How much time should be set aside, and will assistants be present for a large group?
Share the venue, arrival time, schedule, and reference images before agreeing. Ask the provider to confirm the final price and what could change it if the guest count or location changes.
Use a clear enquiry
Hello, I need makeup for [number] people on [date] at [venue/area]. The first person must be ready by [time]. Please share your availability, package inclusions, travel charge, trial option, and payment and rescheduling terms.
Wait for written confirmation of the date, services, price, and arrival time before treating the booking as final. Keep the agreed details so both sides can check the plan.
