Putting
On a Face - A Do It Yourself Job?
You may be one of the brave and capable
women and prefer applying your own makeup, regardless of the occasion.
More power to you! But for those who would prefer to hire a professional
makeup artist for a special celebration, here are some tips on finding
one.
• Save time and effort: Log on to the
Jewish Celebrations Directory and look for makeup artists in
your area - under "Beauty Services."
• Check out local department stores, and speak to beauty
consultants at the cosmetic counters. Many of them offer a free
makeover. Tell them about your goal of finding a talented
professional to cater to your needs on your special celebration
date. When you find one that you like and feel comfortable with, ask
if they make house calls, or if you may schedule time at the store
on the day of the celebration.
• Ask your friends and
acquaintances. Word of mouth has always been a good source for
reliable information.
• The Yellow Pages in your area is another
source. You can make a list of beauty salons, call them and find out
if they offer makeup services.
• Ask your photographer and/or your hair stylist. Most professionals
in these fields work or know of makeup artists that they consider
competent and reliable.
Working With a
Professional Makeup Artist
It is important to let your makeup artist know what you feel most
comfortable in. It is equally important to listen with an open mind to
the suggestions of your chosen professional. It is for their expertise
that you hire him or her in the first place!
• In most cases, it is not a good idea
to search for a "new look," rather - strive for an enhanced version
of your everyday self.
• If possible, try and have a "trial run" -- meaning, have your face
done for a party or gathering before your big celebration, and judge
by the feedback you receive.
• If you're to have a "rehearsal" makeover, have yourself
photographed. Mirrors and photos don't always agree :)
• Another good idea is to check your "face" several hours after the
"rehearsal" makeover and determine how good you look.
Practical Advice -
Questions You Want Answered - Check List
Remember your budget - remember the need for guaranties and
contingencies.
• If you are not down to a "must have"
makeup artist, but narrowed your field to several, make sure to
include the "cost factor" in your final choice.
• Find out whether the price of having a "home visit" is worth it
financially. Check if your makeup artist expects to paid for travel
expenses. While it may be more convenient, the "at home" service may
be financially too extravagant.
• Ask for a guaranteed appearance by the makeup artist, or an
equally talented replacement in the event your chosen makeup artist
cannot be there on the scheduled day.
• REVIEW THE CANCELLATION POLICY
