How to manage makeup enquiries | Makeup Artist Advice
January is usually a time of increased makeup artist and hairstylist enquiries, especially for weddings. Having been a makeup artist for 20 years, I’ve seen this trend play out year after year. While 2021 was a bit of an anomaly, I believe that 2022 will be a big year for weddings, and I fully expect most freelance makeup artists and hairstylists to be fielding an increase in enquiries over the next couple of weeks.
In this video you'll learn my 3 tips for managing your enquiries.

      I think it would depend on the terms and conditions of the contract you have with the artist. At the least I would be expecting a refund, and a good artist will find a replacement

Thankfully here in Sweden nobody expects makeup to be done in 30minutes but sometimes even fitting in an hour is an issue for me. 😅 the eyeliner trick and making sections of face is so amazing, I will be practicing on everything you mentioned!
