Your wedding day is one of the most important moments in your life, and ensuring you look and feel your best is key to making the day unforgettable. From engagement parties to pre-wedding functions and post-wedding celebrations, choosing the right makeup artist for all these occasions can be a game-changer. At Crazy Girls Salon, we believe that booking the right professional can make all the difference, whether it’s your bridal makeup, pre-wedding shoots, or reception glam.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know when booking a makeup artist for your pre-wedding and post-wedding events, ensuring that you’re confident and beautiful for every moment.
1. Know Your Wedding Style and Theme
Before booking a makeup artist, it’s important to have a clear understanding of the style and theme of your wedding and related events. Whether you’re going for a traditional, modern, vintage, or bohemian vibe, your makeup should reflect the overall aesthetic of your celebration.
- Pre-Wedding Events (Engagement, Mehendi, Sangeet): These events are often fun, festive, and vibrant, so you may want your makeup to reflect that energy. Bright eyeshadows, bold lips, and intricate eyeliner can complement these colorful celebrations.
- Wedding Day: For the big day, you’ll likely want a timeless, elegant look that’s flawless and long-lasting, with subtle glam that enhances your natural beauty.
- Post-Wedding Events (Reception, After Parties): The makeup for these events can vary depending on your outfit and mood. Whether it’s glamorous or understated, make sure your makeup artist understands the difference between each event’s unique needs.
At Crazy Girls Salon, our expert makeup artists specialize in creating customized looks for every event, helping you express your style while enhancing your beauty.
2. Check the Makeup Artist’s Portfolio
A makeup artist’s portfolio is their visual resume. Before booking any artist, always take the time to review their portfolio of previous work. This will give you a good sense of their style, expertise, and range of looks they can create.
- Bridal Makeup: Look for pictures of brides they’ve worked with, focusing on both the natural beauty and how the makeup complements the overall bridal look.
- Pre and Post-Wedding Makeup: See if the makeup artist has experience with different occasions like sangeet, mehendi, or post-wedding receptions. The artist should be able to offer diverse styles for various events.
- Specialized Skills: If you have specific needs, such as airbrush makeup or HD makeup for photoshoots, make sure to check if the artist is proficient in those techniques.
At Crazy Girls Salon, we pride ourselves on our diverse portfolio, showcasing our ability to create stunning, event-specific makeup for brides and bridesmaids alike.
3. Book a Trial Makeup Session
A trial makeup session is one of the most important steps when booking a makeup artist for your wedding events. This allows you to see how the artist works with your features, discuss your preferences, and ensure the makeup matches your vision. Here’s why you shouldn’t skip this step:
- Find Your Ideal Look: A trial lets you experiment with different looks, colors, and styles before making the final decision.
- Test Product Compatibility: A trial also allows you to check how the makeup holds up on your skin, ensuring there are no allergies or irritation.
- Time Management: You’ll know exactly how much time the artist will need on the day of the event, which is important for a smooth and stress-free experience.
At Crazy Girls Salon, we offer personalized trial sessions, where you can test out different looks and make sure you’re 100% happy with your wedding day makeup.
4. Discuss the Budget and Services Provided
Make sure to have a clear understanding of the cost and what services are included in your makeup package. Some makeup artists may charge a flat fee, while others might charge per hour or per service.
Things to clarify with your makeup artist:
- Cost per session: Does the price change for different events (pre-wedding, wedding day, post-wedding)?
- Number of people: Will your artist be doing makeup for just you, or are you booking makeup for your bridal party, family, or friends as well?
- Travel charges: Is the cost inclusive of travel to your location (for pre or post-wedding events)? Be sure to ask if there are any extra charges for traveling to a location other than the salon.
- Touch-ups: Are touch-ups included during the event, especially for the wedding day or post-wedding celebrations?
At Crazy Girls Salon, we offer transparent pricing with packages designed to suit different needs and budgets. We also offer group discounts if you’re booking for the entire bridal party.
5. Make Sure the Makeup Artist Uses Quality Products
Your wedding day is a long day, and you need makeup that will stay in place throughout the event, no matter the weather or how much you dance. Ensure that the makeup artist uses high-quality, long-lasting products that suit your skin type and tone.
- Long-Lasting Formula: Choose an artist who uses professional makeup brands that offer longevity, especially for your wedding and post-wedding events.
- Skin-Friendly Products: If you have sensitive skin or allergies, let your makeup artist know beforehand. Ensure they use hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic products to prevent skin irritation.
- Waterproof Options: Waterproof mascara and smudge-proof foundations are essential for your wedding and other events, ensuring your makeup stays fresh all day long.
At Crazy Girls Salon, we only use premium, skin-friendly makeup products like Mac, Huda Beauty, and Estee Lauder to ensure flawless, long-lasting results for every occasion.
6. Consider Your Makeup Artist’s Professionalism and Communication
Your makeup artist should be someone who listens to your needs, is professional, and communicates effectively. They should be punctual, organized, and easy to work with.
- Professionalism: Your makeup artist should arrive on time, with all the necessary tools and products. They should be prepared to work under time constraints, especially on the wedding day.
- Communication: A good makeup artist will ask about your preferences and be open to suggestions, making sure they understand your vision for each event.

7. Read Reviews and Testimonials
Before booking a makeup artist, take the time to check reviews and testimonials from previous clients. Positive feedback from other brides and clients can give you peace of mind and confidence in your choice.
- Google Reviews: Read what others have said about their experience with the artist, especially regarding the quality of the makeup, the artist’s demeanor, and the overall satisfaction.
- Social Media Feedback: Check the makeup artist’s Instagram or Facebook for client reviews and photos of their work.
