MAKE-UP ARTISTS

Models who are adequately skilled at doing their own make-up are welcome to do so.

Understand, however, that using make-up artists can be a huge advantage when attempting to capture compelling and attractive imagery. Using a make-up artist does not mean you have to wear a lot of make-up. Oftentimes, a little can go a long way, depending on the type of look you are trying to achieve.

Make-up provides ways to substantially accentuate your features, even out your skin tones, and hide any potential problem areas. If you are not extremely confident in doing your own make-up, but are serious about capturing professional level photographs, it is always a good idea to consider hiring a professional make-up artist.

Hiring or arranging to have make-up artists at your shoot is the model’s responsibility.

However, if you would like assistance in hiring a make-up artist for your shoot, or would simply like more information, please don’t hesitate to contact me. I have work relationships with a number of make-up artists in this area who are ready to assist you (if provided with enough advance notice).

Regardless of whether you’re working with a make-up artist that I’ve referred to you, all communication and arrangements between you and the make-up artist are your responsibility.
