What to Look for in a Portfolio
Look for variety: brides with different skin tones, ages, and styles. A great MUA can do soft natural makeup just as well as a bold smoky eye. Avoid artists whose portfolios are all heavily filtered — you want to see real, unedited bridal results.
The Importance of a Trial
Always do a trial — ideally 4–8 weeks before the wedding, around the same time of day as your ceremony. Bring inspiration photos, communicate any skin sensitivities, and don’t be afraid to give honest feedback. A good MUA welcomes it.
Hair + Makeup Combo Bookings
Many Vaal Triangle MUAs work with a hair stylist as a team — booking the combo often saves time and money. Ask whether they have a regular hair partner before you book separate suppliers.
