Tips On Preparing For You Makeup Appointment
Getting ready for a makeup appointment involves several essential steps to prepare your skin and ensure the makeup artist can achieve the best results. Here are some tips to help you prepare.
Skin Prep
Cleanse: When arriving to your makeup appointment your face should be makeup free and previously washed with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt, oil, or residual makeup.
​
Exfoliate: Lightly exfoliate your skin a day before the appointment to remove dead skin cells and smooth your skin's texture. Avoid harsh exfoliants to prevent irritation.
​
Avoid New Products: Don’t try any new skincare products right before your appointment to avoid potential allergic reactions or breakouts.
Grooming
Eyebrows: Ensure your eyebrows are groomed to your liking. You can pluck, wax, or thread them a day or two before to avoid redness and irritation.
Hydration
Drink Water: Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your appointment. Hydrated skin looks plumper and healthier.
​
Avoid Alcohol: Reduce alcohol intake the night before as it can dehydrate your skin and make it look dull.
Glam Day
No Face Products: Avoid arriving to your appointment with any face products. Products to avoid are moisturizers, sunscreens, or oils right before the appointment.
​
Clothing: If possible wear a white or black button-up or loose-fitting top to avoid ruining your makeup when changing clothes.
​
Know What You Want: Have an idea of the makeup look you desire. Bring inspiration photos if possible.​
