Anyway, it's almost Halloween, and for you die hard Halloweeners, you're in full swing planning your
costume, and for those of you who leave it all to the day before (or day of) I hope this will light a fire under your tushies.
We all know makeup can make up your look (pun intended!) or it can destroy a well thought out idea. That is why having an amazing makeup artist is key to winning any costume contest or being the envy of your friends.
Just like in any profession, the best is hard to get, so make sure you book early, to ensure you get a spot.
How do you know you're getting a good makeup artist, and not just someone who shops a lot at MAC?
ASK!
We makeup artists are a very proud bunch, we love sharing our work, and tooting our own horns with all our accomplishments. If you have someone who has no photos of their work, and no experience as an artist, run away!
Finding a makeup artist is easier then you may think, we advertise everywhere, Facebook, Twitter, Caigslist, Model Mayhem, and any other social media or advertising outlet you can think of.
Don't expect a makeup artist to barter or make a deal either, we fill up fast, and a lot of artists think they're airlines, and over book, knowing someone might flake out. There may be a lot of artists out there, but there are a lot of people wanting their services, so if you cause a fuss or try to be cheap, you'll just get passed.
You don't want a bargain on a surgeon, and Halloween is no time to skimp on your makeup.
We may be magicians with a makeup brush, but we're not psychic, so be VERY clear with your vision, bring in pictures, and give a good vision to the artist when you book them.
And now a shameless plug... I am now taking bookings, so call Kiss and Makeup to book with me (Trevor) on October 31st. 604.922.6292 or email me!
Book soon, or you'll end up looking like Terri Hatcher, and no one wants to be the makeup fail at a party.
