Timing and Scheduling for Bridal Makeup

[@RachelleSpier]

You're content is so good, I wish there were more KZbinrs with professional makeup artist content! ❤ I personally need to work on time, I find that it's not in the application where I'm slow it's if I over pack my kit and then can't find the product I'm looking for. Or I set the product down in a weird spot and then I'm digging to find it.. I need to slow down when putting things back. Also I am unable to find a reliable MUA to work with on larger weddings... I live in a very small town with no big cities very close so I'm a one man band. I wish I could find a reliable MUA to work with sometimes. :(

[@AngieDiB]

I totally hear you on that. My station sometimes gets crazy too!! Sorry to hear you are having a hard time with a second MUA - is there anyone you can mentor?

[@stunnafacemakeup]

you have one of the best channels by far for those who want to be/ are working makeup artists(not ig or yt artists)! so happy i found u! My problem with time is that I'm a freakin perfectionist. I always go over the the time i give myself because I have to make sure every single lash is perfect lol...i really need to work on that!

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you! We all are perfectionists I think, that's what makes us great at our jobs but some stuff you just have to let go even though it is hard to do!!!! 😩

[@keanalvares2489]

Don't ever stop doing what you do. You are amazing, most importantly very authentic and genuine. Your videos are a great source of information, inspiration and initiation. Keep inspiring me 😊

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you so much Kean!

[@Simplytess_20]

Hi Angie your my Inspiration after I watched all off your videos you really want me to be a freelance makeup artist which is my dream for a long time now but I don't know where to start, but when I watched your videos it makes me so excited and I've been buying stuff now for my kit, I didn't go to school how to do makeup but I've watched tons of videos here in KZbin for about three years now and also practice my own makeup and some of my friends. They been telling to be a makeup artist but I just don't know how to start till I watched your videos, thank you so much for sharing and inspiring me your the best.😊😊

[@AngieDiB]

Amazing Marites!!!! Keep doing what you're doing now and you will get there!!! It takes time but keep going!!!!

[@luckeeno7]

Angie I'm so glad I found your page, I have really been enjoying your videos! Timing is something I still struggle with, I try so hard to get down to 45 minutes but when I do a full face glam such as a bride it takes me usually an hour, sometimes up to an hour 15 minutes. Any tips you have to help shave some time off would be greatly appreciated!

[@AngieDiB]

Great suggestion. Remember that timing for your bride is totally up to you and it is ok to schedule whatever time you need to get the job done. You will definitely get faster and faster the longer you are a makeup artist but I will be doing a video with tips to help speed up makeup applications within the next couple of weeks!

[@achantejanelle]

I'm thinking about a form for clients to fill out when they book me. I definitely want to include skin type, known allergies, etc., as well ask questions about their preferences and dislikes. Anyone else do this? Angie cold you make a video about contracts, and possibly a form like what I'm considering? Thank you!

[@AngieDiB]

Great idea! There is a contract video coming I promise!

[@SabrinaWarnick]

I absolutely love your videos! If you keep it up I know you will have a large following because there's not many new youtubers right now that speak about this stuff in aesthetically pleasing professional videos! I appreciate all your series they have helped me so much starting more freelance work in the bridal industry!

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you so much Sabrina! I found even for myself I couldn't find a lot of useful information online either so i'm glad they are helping!

[@Aa2Legit2Quit]

another gem 🌹

[@AngieDiB]

[@womenofeleganceuk]

Hi Angie Thank you for sharing excellent advice, I have experienced this myself in the pass, you definitely do need speed, a schedule is key keeping the bridal party in order, I've learnt this by working in the TV, film and theatre and photography industry. So I understand where you are coming from. thanks again. Keep up the good work you are doing on You Tube 😀🇬🇧

[@AngieDiB]

Awesome! Yes that experience you have on different sets is a big advantage when doing bridal!

I actually did my first wedding last week and it was intense but I had to breath in between clients and just kept telling my self I could do it and Make them look flawless in 30-45 minutes..I had to bring another makeup artist friend to help me and everything your telling me is helping me prepare for the future!!

I was like yesssss Lol ❤ I also went back to see all your other videos specially the color theory one I am trying to learn that like the back of my hand! I want to be as good as you one day!!! 😘

[@AngieDiB]

[@RTJames-gq9xg]

Hi Angie. Love your videos and content. While I’m not a makeup professional (yet) many of your tips are fantastic for other businesses. Thank you for creating this fun and informative video!

[@tarasalitadomingo]

First of, I don't know why i didn't see your channel beforehand.. but still i am glad i have found your channel, it's really helping me especially now that i am starting my career in make up artistry. I hope you continue making videos to help us newbies. I hope you can make a video re how to present yourself as a makeup artist, what to wear depending on the weather (summer specifically), occassions, the makeup to wear, comfortable shoes and all the important other things related... thank you for sharing your experiences with us. New subscriber from the Philippines.

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you for watching! I will add that to my list of video requests!

[@foogirl36]

[@AngieDiB]

❤️

[@bryonyellis579]

Hi Angie, I recently found your channel and I love it. You're so helpful and very personable to watch. :) I'm doing my first bridal party tomorrow, and your videos have been super helpful, thank you! :D

[@AngieDiB]

Thank you! Good luck tomorrow, i'm sure you will be amazing!

[@stephaniemeza3939]

I love this video! I don't really do much bridal anymore, mostly editorial, but this would of been so helpful when I started. 😊

[@AngieDiB]

Thanks Stephanie!

[@gabbielynn1188]

I have sat and watched so many of your videos I randomly found you and I'm happy I did. You have given me very informative information and definitely nobody like you in this big world of KZbin and your honestly is appreciated!!! I would like to see on your videos unless I've missed it I wanted to know about makeup contracts and how do you book your clients do you use some kinda of scheduler to book bridal party and how to keep yourself organized. This is the part I'm kinda feeling lost at is all the "business aspect" Thanks in advance

[@AngieDiB]

Great request! I will definitely be making a video on that in the future.

[@nicolaconway9902]

just found your channel and love it!! I agree with 99% of your tips tricks and advice (we can't all agree on everything all the time! lol) I really wish all artists would watch your hygiene video! some of the things I see amaze and disgust me, I really can't get my head around how and why some artists operate the way they do! much love from Ireland! ❤

[@AngieDiB]

Thanks Nicola - there are a lot of gross people out there!!!!

[@sheetalnayak2274]

Do you pay your assistance... If you employee any for doing makeup on many people???

[@AngieDiB]

Absolutely!

[@ilovebooks76]

I know there are never Typical but what is the backdown of a work day i.e.when you aware email, do up scheduling, do you work ( makeup ) 3 days a week and 2 day for offie stuff ?

[@AngieDiB]

All of my days are different so I can't give a breakdown - most of my shoots are between 8-12 hours (not including travel time) I can work anywhere from 3 to 7 days a week. I check email when I can and schedule when I have the time.

[@OkeWifey]

Angie, in several of your videos you mention Black Opal for darker skin tones. I have managed to find a stockist in the UK but wondered if you could suggest which shade ranges would be best for my kit? As I can't get to a store to swatch and see for myself I wondered if you could give me some guidance? Victoria x

[@AngieDiB]

I carry 6 shades that I depot into a MUJI pill container. Right now I have Truly Topaz, Rich Caramel, Heavenly Honey, Carob, Hazelnut and Black Walnut. I think those shades give a good combination of warm and cool undertones for darker skin. Plus you can contour if you like with the deeper shades.

[@OkeWifey]

Thanks Angie! I have said it previously but thank you again for your videos. They are so informative and you are breath of fresh air to KZbin. Yourself, Sam Chapman of Pixiwoo and Wayne Goss are my Make Up Gods! thank you :-) Also, I used to live in Toronto 10 years ago so I am loving hearing your accent daily. Much love to you! x

[@AngieDiB]

HAHAH That's awesome, thank you for the compliment!!!

[@KristenFiori]

Your videos are always so informative! When having a large bridal party and bringing another makeup artist to help, is it ok for me to do most of the clients and the other artist just do the few that I cannot do? Or should I split them evenly with her? I don't want to seem rude or greedy or go about it the wrong way

[@AngieDiB]

Awesome question Kristen. If it is your booking you schedule the clients as you like just be upfront with the timing and amount of bookings for the second artist so they can have all of the information before accepting the job.

[@nadinerodriguez33]

hey Angie so i watched all your videos on how too get started on becoming a makeup artist and i have made a list but i live in Belize and its super hard too get good quality makeup here we dont have much makeup artist here maybe 2 or 3 i have tried ordering online but its supper expensive even drug store makeup i feel stuck and have no idea how im going too build my kit .

[@AngieDiB]

Hi Nadine! Where are the places you can buy makeup where you live?

[@nadinerodriguez33]

am so we have a few beauty supply stores here in Belize like 3 in the the city but the makeup that they sell are off low quality and brands that i have never ever heard of i tried googling the brands and i cant even find a website for them that is how bad it is here too get good makeup u have too order online . we are in need of makeup artist here witch is why i want too do it i love makeup sooooo much .

[@jessicajenkins1522]

Question, should the bride be done first or last?

[@AngieDiB]

Great question!!! It could go either way - it really depends on your client. I have some that like to get it done, I have some that need to be done for pictures earlier than everyone else. So do whatever your client wants just make sure you don't run out of time for them!!!!

[@TeaFresh05]

In what sequence do you do the bridal party? Do you do the bride last or first?

[@AngieDiB]

I've got a Q&A video that will give you more info about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXWrnWxqhNeopbs

[@TeaFresh05]

Angie Di Battista thank you!

[@random01759]

Do you also make contracts for prom makeup? Or any other special occasion like baby shower etc?

[@AngieDiB]

Thanks for watching! I do have a contracts video coming, I only do formal contracts for bridal. Many of the artists I know also do the same thing.

[@random01759]

Angie Di Battista thank you so much for replying! Also..I turned on the notifications bell for your channel and I raaarrely do that 😆😁

[@AngieDiB]

🙀

[@GirlArmy21]

Doing both air and makeup (I am also a licensed hairstylist), do you to hair first or makeup?

[@AngieDiB]

That totally depends for me!!!! If I have a choice - for bridal I like to do hair first so when the makeup is done they can see how everything works together (usually this minimizes the amount of changes) this works well for personal clients too! For everything else I just see how I feel, sometimes my makeup inspires the hair or the opposite!

[@GirlArmy21]

OK that makes perfect sense. The total look. And, if I do a hot roller set or have to do a pin up style (curling iron)...as the set is cooling, I could move on to makeup....and then the big reveal. Thanks so much for answering so quickly. Lovvveeeee your videos...learning lots! XO

[@AngieDiB]

Yes you got it! Whatever makes the most sense and what works with timing!!!

[@ieunice1]

Do you have suggestions for Makeup school in Toronto?

[@AngieDiB]

Hey Iris! What part of the industry did you want to get in to? (Special effects, makeup for TV and film)

[@ieunice1]

+Angie Di Battista for TV & film or fashion. Like what you're doing... appreciate your response 🤗

[@AngieDiB]

I would recommend looking into what they offer at George Brown. They have very comprehensive courses for makeup and scheduling wise there are more options so you can take your time completing the course and you would be able to work while attending school if you need a source of income.
