A makeup artist is a person who is trained to apply cosmetics, usually for special events or photoshoots. Makeup artists usually perform a consultation or trial to see if their skills and products are a good fit. A basic package typically includes:
- Primer
- Foundation
- Concealer
- Blush
- Eyeliner
- Eyeshadow
- Mascara
- Lipstick
- Setting powder or spray
Some makeup artists include airbrushing, contouring, false lashes, or a touch-up kit in their basic service. Others offer these features for an extra charge.
