As you plan for your session, browse sites such as Pinterest or other photographer sites to get some ideas for your look.

2. Look at the Specifics.

   Once you’ve found a few senior makeup artists you love, look at the specifics such as price, whether they charge extra for travel, and whether they’re available on the day of your shoot. By now, you should have a budget in mind for makeup, so you can easily rule out any artists who don’t fit in with this.

3. Check What Others Are Saying.

   The final step in choosing the right makeup artist for your senior session is to look at what past customers have to say about their experience. You can easily find reviews on social media and Google. How many followers they have and how often people engage with their social media posts can also tell you a lot about their talents. Don’t forget to check photos of their work to ensure it fits in with what you are looking for.
