How to choose a makeup artist
A makeup artist prepares the face for the camera — skin first, then the look the brief asks for, from invisible commercial makeup to an editorial statement. On a long day the job is also keeping every model consistent across looks and hours.
What to read in a portfolio
- 1
Skin in close-up: texture kept, nothing muddy under studio light.
- 2
Range across beauty, fashion and advertising — each asks for a different hand.
- 3
Consistency: the same model looks the same across looks and hours.
What to put in the request
- 1
The genre: clean commercial, beauty close-ups or an editorial statement.
- 2
How many models and looks, and how long the day is.
- 3
Date, city and whether hair is on the same person or booked separately.
