Where to begin? Some love it so much they could start their own tutorial channel on YouTube.
Others don’t have a clue. And then there’s everyone in between! So, allow us to shed some light on what really matters when you’re preparing your hair and makeup for a photoshoot.
The first question to ask yourself is: Am I going to hire a hair and/or makeup artist? Or am I going to do it myself?
This decision is a big one, there are many factors to consider; your style, your brand, your budget. Be sure to take all of these things into consideration.
In our experience, professional hair and makeup can DEFINITELY level up a shoot, especially if you’re not very proficient at it yourself.[/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type=”none” flex_grow=”0″ alignment=”center” border_size=”” sep_color=”” icon=”” icon_size=”” icon_color=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”” id=”” top_margin=”20″ /][fusion_separator style_type=”none” flex_grow=”0″ alignment=”center” border_size=”” sep_color=”” icon=”” icon_size=”” icon_color=”” icon_circle=”” icon_circle_color=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”” id=”” top_margin=”20″ /][fusion_text columns=”” column_min_width=”” column_spacing=”” rule_style=”default” rule_size=”” rule_color=”” font_size=”” line_height=”” letter_spacing=”” text_color=”” content_alignment_medium=”” content_alignment_small=”” content_alignment=”” animation_type=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_offset=”” hide_on_mobile=”small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility” sticky_display=”normal,sticky” class=”” id=””]
Finding a makeup artist for a Photoshoot
If you do decide to use a makeup artist, here are some questions to ask:
- Ask your photographer for trusted recommendations. Do your own research to find an artist you’re happy with. Check their work! Make sure you love it.
- What is your budget? Hair and makeup will typically run from $150 (CAD) and up for one look.
- If the artist is coming to set, how long will they stay at the shoot? Are there travel costs? How many looks are included in their price? Will they leave lipstick, powder or blotter papers for touch ups and shine reduction on set?

These next points apply whether you hire a hair and makeup artist or not.
- Consider your personal brand; do you love to be done up? Do you prefer to be more natural? Design your looks around who you are and what the shoot is for (Fashion? Creative? Realtor? Lifestyle?), there is no wrong answer!
- Do some home research, decide on what hairstyles and makeup styles you want to wear. Take weather into consideration if shooting outdoors; is it windy? Humid? How will these conditions affect your hair and makeup?
- Are you doing multiple looks? Can you quickly and easily change your hair/makeup on set?
- Bring your own touch-up kit if you’re not hiring a makeup artist. This should include: a mirror, blotter papers, face powder, lip balm, lipstick, brush, hair products, hair pins, etc.
- Hygiene and cleanliness are very important, and some form of base makeup is ALWAYS a good idea when in front of the camera no matter your gender! It helps to create an even canvas for your face, reduces any blemishes, and reduces redness that may show up in the photos.
