| Review 1 | Dear Candy
I’m glad I went with your services for my bridal photoshoot and actual wedding day! I did a bit of research when looking for a make up artist and was impressed by what I saw on your site. The natural make up and pretty hairdos were just what I was looking for. I did not have a trial make up session and was not disappointed or shocked on the actual day of the bridal photoshoot! You also gave me the courage to try out lip colours and hair accessories I never thought I could pull off. You made me feel very at ease and calm with your joyful and chatty personality too. Thanks for transforming me into a beautiful bride on my wedding day! I have been mentioning you since, whenever my friends or relatives ask for recommendations for wedding make up artists. Keep enjoying what you are doing! |
| Review 2 | Dearest Candy,
It was a joy working with you and thank you for transforming me into someone I never dream about becoming. Into someone not quite like me and I must say I am really impressed with your skills! Not just your skills, but your bubbly and friendly character, professionalism and work ethics as well. Thank you for your well wishes and compliments. Both Michael and I wish you all the same! |
| Review 3 |
Decided to engage Candy after reading reviews from bongqiuqiu and I am more than happy and satisfied! Absolutely professional with her services and products but the best of it all is what a fun-loving and easy person she is. Her assistant, Marie did an absolute fabulous job on my sister, mum and aunt. We had such good time chatting about everything while the bridal party came in and out of the makeup room. I love that Candy didn’t try to change how I look but enhanced my features to the best! Thanks so much Candy and Marie for making us look fabulous and for such a great time! 🙂 |

| Review 2 | Mibe is a really sweet and patient makeup artist. She is super friendly and chatty during our trial, to get to know more about my hair and makeup preferences, and understand more about my special day venue, timing, my dress. She listened and understood that I rarely wear makeup and adjust my look to suit my preference for my lunch wedding. It was really a great experience. My guests and most importantly my husband loves my look on the day. Thank you so much Mibe, I definitely recommend her for a beautiful bridal makeup and hairdo. |

| Review 1 | Tracy was my AD and PWS mua, she was extremely attentive and despite my difficult to work with hair, she still dolled me up like a princess.
I also have uneven lids and extremely oily skin, but she managed to make me look beautiful all night. Her assistant also did a wonderful job for my aunty and my mom. |
| Review 2 | I had the pleasure of having Tracy help me with my makeup and hair for my pre-wedding shoot. She is definitely amazing and extremely skilled in all she does! Tracy was able to recreate the makeup and hair looks I desired from reference pictures impeccably! She is extremely friendly and thoughtful – ensuring that the false eyelashes were not causing any discomfort and fixing any gaps in my fringe during the photoshoot! |
| Review 3 | I was recommended to Tracy by a friend, and I am so thankful! I opted for 4 looks, and she was even earlier than I was every single time! Skills-wise, I have zero complaints. She somehow managed to make me look super good, and the makeup and hair was very long-lasting. Even during my afterparty ( which ended at 4am ) my makeup was still on point. She also took notes during the trial, and took note of the things I was most insecure about and managed to work them till she was pleased ( and trust me, she is VERY particular!! ). I had so many compliments on that day and it’s truly all Tracy’s effort. More than that – she was so sweet, very funny, and definitely helped me to relax throughout the extremely stressful day. Of the almost 5 different vendors I worked with during the wedding, Tracy definitely came out tops by far, and for this reason I’d definitely recommend her! Thanks again Tracy for giving me so many great memories of the day! |

Why hire a makeup artist
With millions of beauty vlogs and makeup tutorials available online, you may think that it is a cost saving to DIY your own look. This may work for regular everyday looks or when you’re attending a private event. However for important occasions such as weddings, professional events, performances and productions, you may require a professional’s help.
Here is why you should consider hiring a makeup artist for your next event:
Quality makeup for any occasion
The appearance required for theatre or film productions often need to reflect the period and role. Even for weddings or celebrations, many clients want to achieve a natural look while accentuating their best features. From soft natural-looking makeup to mind blowing prosthetic makeup, makeup professionals have the ability to create a suitable makeup look for any setting.
Saves time without affecting your makeup look
Wanting to look good for an important performance or your once in a lifetime wedding can be nerve-racking. So why not take that additional load away and get a professional to perfect your makeup look while you take a breather.
When it comes to getting a professional makeup artist to apply your makeup, you can save time spent on applying without compromising on the quality of your look. Many also offer hairstyling services, so you don’t have to approach a separate hairstylist to complete your look. Lesser time spent on makeup also ensures that you have more time to prepare and rest before your next schedule.
Get flawless and lasting results
Your everyday makeup look may be suitable for all events, especially when there is extra lighting and spotlight on you. As a pro, makeup artists have a wide variety of professional tools and products to achieve a flawless and long lasting makeup look. Even when your face is dripping with sweat and tears, you can rest assured that your makeup will stay perfect.
What to prepare before your appointment with a makeup artist
Most makeup artists charge by the hour depending on the package or services purchased. To ensure you fully utilise the entire duration to the tee, below are some preparations you may want to arrange before you engage a makeup artist:
Idea of desired makeup
Before the makeup session, it is recommended to do your research and have an idea of your preferred makeup look. Don’t be afraid to share what you think suits you. If you can’t settle on one, make sure you search for a few options. This allows the makeup artist to have a better idea and understanding of your requirements. That way, both of you will be able to communicate more effectively to achieve your desired look.
Date and time of appointment
Being late for an important event can be such a mood killer. So do ensure you buffer ample time for your makeup and other matters such as travelling or change of clothes before your appointment. A few days before your agreed session, send your makeup artist a reminder on the essential information such as timing and location. It is also helpful to provide your schedule so that they can also plan their time accordingly.
Inform them of any allergies
Allergies or skin sensitivities are difficult to identify beforehand without the proper mechanisms. It is crucial to inform your makeup artist beforehand of any known allergies to specific brands or materials. You can also consider using your own makeup or skincare products to avoid any adverse reactions.
Tips to take note of when choosing a makeup artist
Here are some things to consider before securing a makeup artist for your special occasion or event:
Reliability of makeup artist
Referrals, online reviews, forums, mentions on magazines – these are valuable sources of information to check out the credibility and specialty of a makeup artist. Many offer trial sessions, often with a small fee, before the actual day of makeup. This is a great opportunity to verify if the makeup artist’s style fits your ideal look and avoid any hiccups on the actual day.
Makeup artist skills and expertise
Before booking your slot with a makeup artist, looking at their portfolio and previous works can help you get a sense of their attention to details and area of expertise. The style of makeup may differ depending on the occasion and different settings such events, theatre and film productions, weddings or photoshoots. While experienced makeup artists have an extensive knowledge of working with various skin conditions and environment, they also often have a set of makeup look or style they are good at. Finding a makeup artist with a compatible style of work can help you achieve your desired look more effortlessly.
What is covered under the overall price or package
It is important to ask about the items covered under the packages to avoid any hidden charges. Many makeup artists and studios offer bundled packages for their services which may also include other services including hairstyling and brow trimming. Some makeup studios also provide deals and discounted rates when you work with their partnering photography or floral design studios. However, do remember to buffer extra expenses as these rates often exclude transportation fees, lodging and airfare.
Contingency plan in case makeup artist is unable to show up
Emergencies can happen anytime and it can be stressful when things don’t go as planned. Make sure you check with your artist on the contingency plan in case they are not able to make it for your appointment. It is also crucial to have the terms and conditions stated clearly on the contract in case of cancellations to avoid paying for undelivered services.
