When it comes to choosing a makeup artist for your Kashmiri, there are several important questions you should ask to ensure you’re getting the best service possible. Here’s a checklist to help you make an informed decision:

1. What are your charges?

Get clarity on the pricing structure. Are there different packages for bridal makeup, party makeup, or family members? Make sure to ask for a detailed breakdown to avoid any last-minute surprises.

2. Do you bring hair accessories?

Check if the artist provides hair accessories like pins, flowers, or extensions, or if you need to arrange these separately.

3. Is dupatta draping included?

Ask if lehenga draping is included in the service, as this can be an additional cost if it’s not part of their package. Or they may need to bring a different person for this task.

4. Will there be a male stylist on your team?

Some makeup teams include male hairstylists or assistants. If you’re not comfortable with a male stylist, discuss this upfront to avoid any surprises on the day.

5. Will you upload photos on social media?

Some makeup artists like to share their work on social media. If you prefer to keep your look private, be sure to clarify your preferences regarding photography and social media.

6. Is there a discount for multiple bookings?

If you’re booking the artist for multiple events of your Kashmiri wedding (mehendi, baraat, walima,phirsal), ask if they offer any discounts on bulk bookings.

7. How long will the session take, and how long will the makeup last?

Understand the time commitment for your makeup session. It’s also important to know how long the makeup will last, especially if you’re planning an all-day event or a reception (satim saal) after the wedding.

8. Do you provide trial sessions?

Trial sessions are a great way to ensure you’re comfortable with the artist’s work. Ask if they offer trial makeup sessions and if they are included in the final package or come at an additional cost.

9. Do you charge for travel to other districts like Anantnag, Baramulla, etc?

If the artist needs to travel to your location, confirm if there are any travel charges, especially if it’s a destination wedding or outside their usual service area.

Additional questions to ask

Do you offer complimentary services for family members?

Some makeup artists offer special packages or complimentary touch-ups for family members. It’s worth asking if they include services for your mom, sister, or friends in your package.

What products do you use?

Inquire about the makeup brands they use. Are they high-quality international brands or Indian products? This is crucial information if you have a preference or allergies.

Do you do skin prep?

Skin preparation is essential for flawless makeup. Confirm if they include cleansing, moisturizing, and priming your skin before starting the makeup.

Do you offer touch-up kits?

A touch-up kit can be a lifesaver for brides, especially for long events. Ask if they provide a small kit for touch-ups throughout the day

By asking these questions, you’ll be able to choose a makeup artist who meets your needs and ensure a smooth, stress-free experience on your big day.
