10. Will you be there at my wedding or will you be sending another makeup artist? Most importantly, what happens if you can’t make it on my big day?

The person who does your makeup trial MUST be the same person who does your makeup on your wedding day. The reason being is because this makeup artist knows your desired makeup look and you’ve built a great rapport with them. Also, if they aren’t able to make it for whatever reason on your wedding day, always keep a backup plan ready. Ask them if they would send anyone in their place or you could hire a freelance makeup artist as well.
